Tom made the experience so simple with quick replies, efficient service and explained everything I needed to know.

I needed speakers for two events I was hosting, in June 2025 and June 2026. Tom made the experience so simple, with quick replies and efficient service, and explained everything I needed to know about how to set up and use the speakers. Would highly recommend, and a great price.

If you need a reliable Brighton DJ with high quality equipment, then I would highly recommend Good Frequency. Tom was an absolute pleasure to hire, provided a top quality Brighton sound system and made all our guests feel welcome by catering to their music tastes and elevating the atmosphere. Will hire again.

Samuel Milletti · DJ and sound system, Brighton
★★★★★

Professional, punctual and the sound quality was spot on. Setup was quick and the kit looked the part without taking over the room. Music landed well with a mixed crowd, plenty of people up dancing by mid-evening. Good choice for our company’s 15th birthday in Brighton, exactly the night we wanted.

We hired Tom at Good Frequency for a recent 90’s disco charity event. In the lead up to the event, I was impressed with the professionalism and dedication to getting the event just right and how we wanted it. On the night, the dance floor was filled throughout, a great vibe with some great tunes, floor fillers and requests too. The event was a huge success, we raised £2500 for breast cancer, which couldn’t have happened without a fantastic DJ. Thanks so much - we would use this company again and highly recommend for your next event!

We booked Good Frequency for our wedding party and it was the best decision we made. Tom took the time to actually listen to what we wanted, asked great questions about the vibe we were going for and put together a setlist that had absolutely everyone on the dancefloor, from my nan to our mates who never normally dance. Everything was easy and stress free and highly recommend for any wedding or event.

Thank you Tom for making our night unforgettable, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
