Carl Mitchell DJ in short
Carl Mitchell DJ is a one-person DJ business working from Newport across Telford, Shropshire and neighbouring cities, with weddings, birthdays and corporate events as the stated work. The site gives each patch its own page, from Telford and Shrewsbury to Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Staffordshire, which makes the coverage unusually plain. A claim of full insurance with venue-ready kit sits on the page, beside a phone number, an email address and an availability check.
Customers rate Carl Mitchell DJ at the top of the scale: five out of five from three Google reviews is the whole record, with no second platform behind it. Our judgement is that it suits a booker who wants a single DJ planning the night around the guests rather than a big-rig outfit. What counts against it is how little surrounds the site: no published rates, no trading history and no memberships to source.
The shape of the booking is one DJ from first enquiry to final track, with the music planned around the crowd on the night. The Newport address and phone number agree across the site and the directory listing, which steadies the file. Booking itself runs through an availability check rather than open prices.
Our judgement rests on the clarity of the site rather than the depth of the record, since three reviews can only say so much. What the file lacks in customer evidence it makes up in directness: named areas, named contact routes and a stated insurance position. The written quote still has more riding on it than usual, with no menu to set it beside.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Carl Mitchell DJ suits you if you want a single DJ who plans the night around your crowd, with clear area coverage and stated insurance [1]. What counts against it is the thin record beside the site: three Google reviews, no published rates and no sourcing for how long the business has run [1] [3].

Questions about Carl Mitchell DJ
Is Carl Mitchell DJ any good?
On the evidence, promising rather than proven: it sits fourth of ten in our September round, with a clear site, stated insurance and direct contact routes, but only three reviews behind it. It suits a booker who wants one DJ planning the night around the guests. Read the full review beside the table, then test the enquiry with a detailed first message.
Is Carl Mitchell DJ registered with a DJ association?
DJs have no mandatory register, and Carl Mitchell DJ claims no memberships on its website or the platforms checked, so industry qualifications can't be sourced. That is a gap in the paper trail rather than a mark on the one-DJ performances reviewers describe. Ask for the insurance details and the kit-testing position with your enquiry.
What does Carl Mitchell DJ charge?
No rates, packages with prices, call-out fee or VAT position are published; booking runs through an availability check. Send your date, venue, hours of music and event type, then ask for one written total covering kit, lighting, travel, deposit and cancellation terms. Compare it like for like before you pay anything.
Where does Carl Mitchell DJ work?
Carl Mitchell DJ works from Newport with dedicated pages for Telford, Shrewsbury, Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Staffordshire. That named patch is unusually plain for this round. Few names in the round spell out their patch at all. Send your venue with the first message to confirm you sit inside it and the night is free.
How is Carl Mitchell DJ ranked?
It sits fourth of ten in our September round, carried by clear website detail with stated cover and held back by a tiny review base, and only the three names above it outscore it. Rankings are decided by the scorecard alone. Read the full review beside the table, then ask for the itemised quote.
How do we get a quote from Carl Mitchell DJ?
Use the availability check on its website, or write to the published email address and phone number. Send the date, venue, hours of music and crowd shape so the first figure is a real one. Ask for kit, hours, extras and every charge inside one written total, and ask how requests and must-play lists are handled on the night.
What do the reviews say about Carl Mitchell DJ?
Reviewers give it top marks: five out of five from three Google reviews, seen in early September, with no second platform on the file. Three reviews can only say so much, however warmly they read. Judge the enquiry and the written quote on their own merits alongside the scores. The full review sets out what the site shows instead.
How does Carl Mitchell DJ compare with the other DJs in this round?
It is the one-person-DJ pick against bigger disco outfits: clearer area coverage and a more personal shape than most of the round, but a far smaller review base than the three names above it. The leader beats it on customer evidence at every point. Compare written quotes for your date, using the hiring guide on the trade page.
