– Katie & Rob’s Wedding Review

Will loves working at corporate events, as he is himself an extremely hard worker and knows when you work hard, you need to play hard! Working for many leading companies respective of their industry, Will’s adaptability as a DJ has led him to set up events for Google, Boston Scientific, Galway Christmas Market, The Ark Halloween Festival, Bridgets Garden Sunrise Children’s Festival and even the wrap party for the critically acclaimed Irish hit ‘The Guard’. Punctuality, meticulous planning and an excellence in sound quality is what separates Will from all other DJs and event suppliers in the country.
As well as the access to his sister sound system hire company One World Sounds which provides both on and off the grid sound solutions of various capabilities, Will is a proud founder of Kidisco.

Testimonial from Avril Stanley – Director of Body&Soul Festival

Will Softly has supplied PA equipment to Body&Soul for over a decade, both at the Electric Picnic Festival and the Body&Soul Festival. Will is incredibly passionate about innovative technology and Function-One sound systems. He has introduced us to some of the finest PA equipment in the world that is not just pioneering in its approach but more importantly sounds incredible and offers a heightened sonic experience to our audience and bands. He delivers at a fair price, is always punctual and reliable, goes the extra mile and has yet to be seen without a smile and an infectious ‘can do’ attitude despite the challenging circumstances that the event industry can at times present. That in itself is quite a testament to his underlying nature; and his capacity to provide a stress-free high quality service. What you see is what you get with Will and after more than 20 years working in this industry, that in itself is a breath of fresh air. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any future opportunities. To top it all off – he is a rather excellent DJ! What’s not to love! Should you wish to reach me for further information, please do not hesitate to contact me via email on: avril@bodyandsoul.ie

“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!”

Jennifer Ní Mhurachú

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!!
