Would definately reccomend 217 events for any wedding! Their service is absolutely amazing, based on you and what you would like from the first conversation to the day itself. We had Emma DJ and she was brilliant! setting up early for us to use equipement for speeches and even helped my step daughter have a go at putting on thriller, something I know she will always remember. � we also had a photobooth which was used all night and was such a lot of fun and manned by a lovely lady talking us all through it and sorting out prints � wonderful. 10/10- thank You for being a great part of our day.

I was at a wedding recently and 217 provided the photo booth.

Amazing booth manager who knew her stuff and was polite, professional and fun.

Great props a really class act of a photo booth.

With bespoke bunting of the Bride and grooms choice it was really special.

The photos look amazing and I will def be booking them for my next event.

A massive thank you to everyone at 217 Events from the bottom of our hearts, my wife and I had the best day topped off by such fantastic music and photo booth experience.

We cannot thank Emma and Jeannine enough for all your help, laughter and choice of banging tunes bringing us into married life.

It has been a pleasure and joy from start to finish. 100% professional and courteous willing to meet all our needs. Will recommend to anyone and everyone.

Thank you again so much. Just the most amazing way to end a perfect day.

217 Events provided us with a 5 star service for our wedding back in July at the Tithe Barn Symondsbury.
All of our guests were thoroughly entertained with the classy photobooth, we loved that we were given a photobook with all of our guests having fun with little wedding messages inside and also the guests got to take home a photo too.
217 communicated with us really well, we felt that they really understood the style that we were going for and the DJ lighting and booth was really perfect for our boho vibes, we asked for no colourful lighting and looked fab.
The added bonus was how helpful the company were in providing a custom boho wedding arbor which was absolutely stunning with macrame hanging from a wooden arch- we also used this for our photobooth backdrop.
Communication was fab, highly recommend and sorry not to have made this review sooner! Thank you 217 Events for completing our very special day! Laurel and Richard

Thanks 217 Events for the disco at our wedding-I unfortunately didn’t get to enjoy it as much as I’d have liked as was busy elsewhere but everyone else has been raving about the tunes! Also so accommodating of early first dance, then stealing everyone away for the cake cut and letting my extremely talented cousin sing!! Excellent night-fun had by all, we couldn’t have done it without you thank you xx More...

217 events have been fantastic since I got in touch and asked them to DJ for our wedding reception! Our DJ Mark was fantastic. I provided a list of songs prior to the wedding and he played our favourites whilst listening to the crowd and picking up requests. He had the dance floor going all night! Everyone commented the next day about how great the music was and how full the dance floor was. Thanks :) More...

217 events provided their excellent photo booth service for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! Janine’s customer service when booked and discussing the finer details was prompt, friendly and very helpful. On the day Gary manned the photo booth and was brilliant at helping our guests take the photo booth pictures. He was very friendly and went that extra mile to make sure the evening was catalogued with some brilliant photos. 217 also provides a photo book for you after the wedding which we looked through the following day and were in stitches of laughter at little moments captured of our guests. I can not recommend 217 enough and I will definitely be using them again for any future events. Thank you Janine and Gary for making our special day all the more special! More...

Hired 217 for our wedding on Friday. The dj set up quickly and efficiently all in time for our evening reception. She was so so lovely and did everything we asked for, along with putting up with plenty of drunk people! Played a good mix of the songs we asked for and kept everyone on the dancefloor. So happy we hired 217! More...

Had a disco and photo booth for my wedding. Booked it about a year in advance and it was amazing! Everyone loves a good photo booth and the girl (whose name I have forgotten, sorry! ) was brilliant, she was relaxed and funny and helped cover the screen so I would look in the right place! I also got a great shot with my dog which is my favourite! Thank you so much! The guest book is brilliant! The disco was also amazing and thank you, Emma, for suggesting keeping it in the main building – a good shout! You guys have been a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend! Thanks so much!

Where do we start!! From start to finish these gals were amazing, they were contactable on the lead up to the wedding, made sure the theme of the party matched our wedding theme and we're awesome on the night! Emma was the rockiest chick ever and rocked away up at he decks while creating the perfect playlist for us, and nothing was too much trouble, even when the music requests turned into heavy rock (from myself and the groom) she made sure she could switch it back to music all our guests could enjoy in between so no one was left out. The photo booth was an absolute hit and I'm still getting compliments now! To the lady who manned the booth all night.... you're a legend for keeping it fun and interesting whilst creating the PERFECT book of all the pics taken that night. We had so much fun looking through it and seeing the fun people had. I could go on forever singing your praises. Thank you so much!!!! � More...

Would highly highly recommend 217 events for their photo booths and dj service, had Jannine and Jemma at our wedding on Saturday 23/09/17 and they were truly first class, we're courteous, professional and absolutely lovely people! They completely made our wedding reception, with fantastic selections of music based upon our requests and awesome pictures from the photo booth which everyone had so much fun creating, so much so that all of our guests couldnt compliment them enough! On a personal level, Jemma and Jannine are an absolute credit to 217 events, couldn't of asked for more professional and friendly people. We are looking too and have been requested by family and friends to book 217 events for my new wifes 30th birthday! Guys we love you!! All the very best, the new Mr and Mrs Dand!! ����� More...

We had a brilliant experience using 217 events - Emma was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole booking process and it was all super easy. We had our wedding at the Kings Arms and the whole set up process upstairs went without a hitch.

Gemma was brilliant on the night and everyone had a great time using the photobooth - getting print outs for everyone in the photo was great and having a guestbook created is a really fun way of seeing what everyone was getting up to there!

We would HIGHLY reccomend using 217 events for the photobooth! Thanks again!

Literally one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding! Our friends and family absolutely loved the booth (especially my 6 year old nephew who came back on his own and even photo bombed others). It’s given us some hilarious memories that we will cherish for ever . The fact we were able to customise the backdrop and prints made it even more personal to us. The DJ was great and adapted to the crowed to make sure we always had people up and dancing. I think it sums up 217 when our best man said ‘What really made it was you could tell those guys absolutely love their jobs’. Thank you so much Mr & Mrs Harris (Chris & Emma) XOXO More...

we used 217 for our wedding to provide both dj and photobooth after seeing the guys at a wedding fayre and asking for directions to a different company, we got convinced to try out the open booth and was the best part of the day all our guest absolutely loved it and i think its emma, she is amazing such a laugh and played every request except callum scott for the 3rd time on the trott and the photo booth had 90% of guests even a pigs trotter from the hog roast, so i cant thank 217 enough for the amazing job they did.

We hired 217 for our wedding on Saturday. I've been at weddings before where they had a booth but this was in a different league. They arrived in plenty of time to set up and were ready to go. They had put a lot of thought into personalising the props which made it extra special. The staff were very friendly, outgoing but most of all patient. With the amount of alcohol flowing there were quite a few 'tipsy' guests who must have been a handful.
The memory book with each picture and messages from the guests was perfectly done and such a nice touch. We will be keeping it forever and it's hilarious to see what people were up to whilst we were walking around chatting to everyone.
In a nutshell, we can highly recommend these guys for all occasions. So many people commented on how unique and awesome it was and it will certainly stand out as a lovely memory for everyone who came.
Thanks so much especially Emma and Janine who were responsible for giving us a promotional discount when we booked over a year ago. They have been professional and helpful with the build up to the wedding and responding almost immediately to any questions we had. These two are professional and fun which I what you need when planning your big day. X

Q&As

217 are! Seriously though, experience, the more experience you have the better you can read the dance floor and your audience.
In just over 20 years we have now DJ'ed for pretty much every kind of occasion and love nothing more than a good dance behind the decks along with you all, our aim is to make sure your dance floor is busy from beginning to end!

This is a difficult one for us to answer as we always aim to provide what it is you are looking for, not what our preference is...
If we were pushed I guess our style verges more on the side of classy - we aim NOT to fill your beautifully set venue with lights blaring every colour under the sky and aim more towards lighting that enhances the dance floor and matches your colour scheme.
Music choice wise - always your style not ours!

We find them to be two very different options and would never suggest a photo booth as an alternative to a traditional photographer.
Our photo booths provide you with fun, spontaneous, silly pictures but a photo booth is so much more than that. Our 217 photo booths are designed to be an interactive entertainment centrepiece, not only do you have a fantastic time in them - you have an hilarious time watching others use them as all of our old school enclosed booths have now been replaced with modern open booths which in our opinion create something of an ice-breaker where guests get to laugh and be silly whilst creating an instant print to capture the memory.

All of our props are authentic original quality props - no cardboard cut-outs on sticks for us!
We tailor our prop boxes to suit your theme or colour scheme and also have an option where we can custom make boards and specific props exclusively for you.

The energy - the fact that we always get to see people when they are having a fantastic time and how we get to dance, laugh and enhance their evening (as well as our own!).
Who wouldn't want to be invited to all these events??!

We personally have such precise and exacting standards, that we believed there must be other people like us who would want this amount of attention to detail to be put in to their event entertainment.
We've been lucky in that 217 has flourished meaning we get to spend all day every day doing something we are completely obsessed with (we went there....we are obsessed in fairness!)

Because your events are what we do best and with a history of only 5* reviews we can guarantee you'll be in safe hands!
