SilversurfDJ review

Ranked 1 of 10 in DJs in Telford

Best overall dj in Telford: one local DJ for weddings, parties and karaoke nights

Sole Trader

Telford · Service area: Telford, West Midlands

SilversurfDJ in short

SilversurfDJ is a Telford mobile disco run by Karl, playing weddings, birthdays, corporate nights, karaoke and race nights across Telford and the West Midlands. What sets it apart is the all-in-one booking: personalised playlists, lighting and hosting from the same DJ, with a free consultation ahead of any quote. A long trading history stated on its own site, plus written-down liability cover with safety certificates for the kit, sits behind the name.

Customers rate SilversurfDJ highly: five out of five on Google is the headline, with AddToEvent reviewers scoring it almost as strongly. Our judgement is that it suits a wedding or party booker who wants a single local host for music, lights and announcements. What counts against it is the thin paper trail — no memberships to source and no rates on the site — so the quote matters more than usual.

Karl runs the disco from Lambeth Drive in Telford, with a phone line and website quote routes behind the name, and plays across Telford and the West Midlands. The site sets out weddings, corporate events, school dances and proms, private celebrations, karaoke and race nights, and asks visitors to contact for a quote after a free consultation. The offer is consistent throughout: one DJ carrying music, lighting and hosting rather than a menu of separate acts.

The customer evidence sits across two platforms we hold, Google and AddToEvent, with more than fifty reviews between them seen in early September. Our judgement rests on that breadth: strong scores from two separate audiences rather than one. Documentation beyond the website and its profiles is thin, so the written quote has more riding on it than usual.

Our verdict

Our judgement: SilversurfDJ suits a Telford wedding or party booker who wants one local DJ for music, lighting and hosting, backed by long trading claims and high review scores [2] [6] [7]. What counts against it is the thin paper trail: no published rates or memberships, and a site that leaves the quote to do the talking [3] [4].

Questions about SilversurfDJ

Is SilversurfDJ any good?

On the evidence, yes for weddings and parties: it tops our Telford DJ table, holds a perfect Google score with strong AddToEvent reviews behind it, and offers playlists, lighting and hosting in one booking. The paper trail is thin, with no sourced memberships and no published rates, so read the full review and ask for the liability papers with your quote.

Is SilversurfDJ registered with a DJ association?

DJs have no mandatory register, and SilversurfDJ 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 against the performances reviewers describe. Ask for the liability certificate and testing evidence with your enquiry.

What does SilversurfDJ charge?

The website publishes no rates, menu or VAT position and asks you to contact for a quote after a free consultation; the only figure anywhere is a starting price of three hundred pounds on its Hitched profile. That makes the written quote the whole price story: send the date, venue and hours and ask for every extra cost inside one total.

Where does SilversurfDJ work?

Karl runs the disco from Lambeth Drive in Telford and plays across Telford and the West Midlands, covering weddings, birthdays, corporate events, karaoke and race nights. Send your venue and date with the first message to confirm you are inside the patch and the night is free. Travel outside that patch is a question for the first message, since distance moves the price.

How is SilversurfDJ ranked?

It is the best overall DJ in our September round, first of the ten Telford DJ businesses that met our checks, scored on what customers say, then qualifications, history, cover and pricing clarity. 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 SilversurfDJ?

Use the contact routes on the website, which offers a free consultation before any quote, or start from the Hitched profile, which shows a starting price of three hundred pounds. Send the date, venue and hours of music with the first message, and ask for every extra inside one written total. That written quote is the whole price story, since the website publishes no rates of its own.

What do the reviews say about SilversurfDJ?

Reviewers rate the disco strongly on both platforms we hold: the headline is five out of five on Google, with AddToEvent reviewers scoring it almost as strongly. Both sets of scores were seen in early September. The full review sets out what sits behind the scores; judge the written quote on the same evidence before paying a deposit.

How does SilversurfDJ compare with the other DJs in this round?

It leads a ten-name table, with Charlie's Disco the closest challenger on headline scores and stated history, and Old School Entertainment behind that on two-platform review breadth. Its edge is the customer record plus stated liability cover and a visible starting price; its gap is the thin paper trail on memberships and rates. To compare it with any of them, take like-for-like written quotes and run each through the hiring guide on the trade page.
