A wedding DJ has been named a regional finalist in the Wedding Industry Awards 2025.

Nick Chatten, from Lowestoft, is hoping to be recognised as the best wedding DJ in the East of England.

Mr Chatten said: “To be recognised by all my couples who voted for me is an amazing feeling. I truly love what I do and don’t really see it as work. I’m under no illusions that I’m up against it when it comes to winning the regional award. We are blessed in the East of Anglia with such amazing talented wedding DJs across all the counties, so fingers crossed I can go all the way and bring it home for Lowestoft”

The first step on the road to national glory will be a triumph at the regional awards event in November.

Here, the companies that have received the best feedback from their clients and have caught the eye of the expert judging panel will be crowned regional winner in November before progressing to the national finals in January 2025.

Damian Bailey, founder of The Wedding Industry Awards, said: “Since 2011, The Wedding Industry Awards have been dedicated to recognising and rewarding excellence in the wedding industry and this year’s Regional Finalists are clearly at the top of their game.

“Our awards are unique as they are voted by recent wedding couples and it’s not the total number of votes that companies receive that leads to success.

"Instead, we focus on the quality of the feedback they get from eligible couples, amongst other things. Larger companies and talented individuals compete on a level playing field and the best wedding suppliers always rise to the top.”

Mr Chatten said: "To win Wedding DJ of the Year 2025 for the East of England would be an absolute honour and something I could only wish for."
