John is truly the best in the business. The attention to detail and the ease of his planning program made planning our wedding that little bit more stress free. John is such a friendly and genuine guy who was so helpful throughout the whole process and was super quick to reply to any emails or queries. The night ran so smoothly and was everything we could have imagined. John knew exactly what to say and what song to play to suit the mood of each special moment. I cannot recommend John and Middleton Events more, I already have had guest from the wedding wanting to book him in for their weddings

We would highly recommend Middleton Events for MC/DJ. Our package, also includes the lighting, music, dry ice, and fireworks! Not to forget the mirror booth that our guests, and we greatly enjoyed!
John Middleton being our MC is very professional and knows his craft. He is easy, fun going, and definitely life of the party!
P.S. His sound system was epic! 💥
