DJ CHRIS G

What DJ CHRIS G does

DJ Chris G is a UK-based sole proprietorship operated by founder Chris Guttridge, providing professional DJ, Master of Ceremonies, and bespoke lighting services for weddings, private parties, corporate events, and special occasions. The business was established around 1999 and is based in Romiley, Stockport, Greater Manchester, with the operator willing to travel to events anywhere in the UK. Service delivery is grounded in full-time professional expertise (25+ years), cutting-edge DJ equipment that is regularly updated and PAT-tested, and complementary event-production elements including starlight backdrops, light-up dancefloors, light-up letters, indoor fireworks, and confetti cannons.

The core product set comprises four service lines — Weddings, Parties, Corporate Events, and General Events — supplemented by an add-on bespoke lighting design offering and bundled wedding entertainment packages that incorporate bands and singers. The company operates a quote-based pricing model with free, no-obligation consultations, and customer acquisition is driven by direct website enquiries, phone and WhatsApp contact, organic social media across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube, podcast features (Totally Absolutely Engaged), ThreeBestRated listings, and a curated network of 15+ recommended wedding suppliers.

Commercially, DJ Chris G is positioned as a premium, award-validated operator — a five-time consecutive Northwest Wedding Awards finalist (2020, 2022–2025) and 2024 Wedding Industry Awards Highly Commended in the Best DJ category — holding £10 million public liability insurance and an enhanced DBS check to satisfy UK venue requirements. There is no external funding, no parent entity, and the headcount data indicates a solo-operator model, making this a lifestyle-service business rather than a venture-scalable platform.
