“Such is Will’s ability to fill a dancefloor that when the reception closed, no one wanted it to end“

– Katie & Rob’s Wedding Review

My passion for music has become my career as a DJ who cut his teeth spinning vinyl in underground clubs and at house parties. DJ-ing in these environments have naturally gravitated me towards playing in Ireland’s best clubs and held many headline slots at top Irish festivals.

I have fond memories of DJing at my first wedding. I remember thinking what a magical night it was, young and old souls united together on a shared dance floor. It was a real revelation for me, that you could bring different age-groups together dancing and laughing, something a club DJ wouldn’t be accustomed to.

This became a cornerstone of my wedding DJ sets. After all, weddings are a celebration of love, family & friends. Since then weddings have been my favoured work environment and with love as my foundation for wedding sets, I have never looked back!

Music is the key for me: it unlocks the door to their night and it ignites the hearts of the entire dancefloor. To this end, I always insist on a personal connection with the wedding couple before they book me. At such an awesome moment in your lives, I want to create a suitable but show stopping musical experience for a magical night so that you will always remember your first dance as soul partners!

A full Funktion One sound system and Stardust Disco balls come as standard and provide excellent quality in both sound and lighting.
I also have the ability now to go completely off the grid with my brand new Soundboks battery-powered and bluetooth capable speakers. So no matter where you are, I’ll be there too!

The safety of you, your family and friends is of the most importance to me. I am happy to say that I follow all Covid-19 rules and guidelines and will work to ensure 100% Covid compliance for the safety of all guests attending.

“We are entrusted with a select few high profile and intimate weddings at The Twelve. In such cases, Will Softly is my go to for the entertainment factor. Will is so much more than a Disc Jockey who knows how to read the crowd; he is an entertainer also who lights up the night.
I can most sincerely recommend Will if you really and truly want to be impressed!”

Fergus O’ Halloran, The Twelve

“We wanted our wedding reception to be different, and to reflect our love of music i.e. to enjoy our favorite tunes, rather than the usual Sweet Caroline dirge. We chatted to Will a couple of times in advance. It was clear that he loves music, and that there was no fear of him playing the usual standards. We hired him to play a five hour set in place of a band. Will worked really hard reading the crowd. His set was a highlight of our wedding. We never thought we’d see our parents giving it socks to Mylo, or LCD Soundsystem. He was a pleasure to deal with too. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants a good party at their wedding.”

“Will absolutely loves music with a passion and it shows at the events he DJ’s at. When it came to plan my 40th birthday party it had to be Will Softly as my DJ. I’d seen him live at a few events and really loved the way he took his audience on a musical journey with the great sounds he plays. He has a true gift of knowing his audience and making them feel great through music. It’s clear he loves what he does and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

Roisin McNamara, Hero Recruitment

“We were so bowled over by Will’s energy and generosity at our wedding. We asked Will to DJ at our reception after the band, he was so easy to work with in advance of our big day, setting up playlists and conferring with us on what we wanted but what came afterwards truly made the day for us. Such is Will’s ability to fill a dancefloor that when the reception closed, no one wanted it to end… Without thinking twice, Will packed up his kit drove it up the road to set up an impromptu after party where he continued to play until the sun came up in the morning!! Our friends and family still talk about the legendary party in ‘Granny’s Kitchen’! Thank you so much Will!”

Katie & Rob

“What we would do now to be back on that Connemara dancefloor! Will, we cannot thank you enough. Your talent and energy was such a huge part of celebration. Everyone had the time of their lives. It really was on an unforgettable experience, and dancing with our family and friends to the most epic tunes brought us so so much joy. Every time we hear ‘the chain’ it takes us right back – so so special. Thank you. We wish that we could do it all over again. All our love”

Erin & Barry

“Will and I have collaborated a lot together for my Arbutus Yarns stage in the woods at Body&Soul. His enthusiasm, positivity and boundless energy is one of the primary reasons the area has done so well every time, even when the weather has been against us. His passion and love for the service he provides is unrivaled, shining like the sun through us all for the duration of the event. An absolute treasure”.

Myles O’Reilly

“Will did a fantastic job at our wedding. His warm presence, encyclopedic musical knowledge and ability to keep the dance floor hopping all evening was more than we could have asked for. Brilliant DJ thanks a million Will!”

Will Dj’ed at our wedding earlier this year. This guy, where do I start, a genuinely brilliant addition to the occasion. We didn’t want traditional wedding songs, we sent Will some stuff we liked – 70’s & 80s mainly, and he married (!) it up with some of his own picks beautifully. The dance floor was hopping all night long… it went by in an absolute flash. Everyone was raving about the music. Such a lovely guy too – Will, if I get married again I’m hiring you!!
