A celebration of life is not a wedding, and it is not a party. It is a gathering where grief and joy can share the same room. The right piece of music, played at the right moment, can do something words alone cannot quite manage.
Tim Daymond has been a professional DJ for 50 years. Before any celebration of life booking, he speaks with the family about the person being remembered. He asks what they loved, which songs meant something to them, and the tone the family wants for the day. Everything is agreed in advance. Nothing is improvised.

How The Day Is Handled
Every family's day is different, and nothing here is fixed. It's simply so you know what to expect, with nothing left to wonder about on the day. You can also read reviews from other families Tim has worked with.
1 Beforehand A quiet conversation, on your own time
Tim talks through the day with you beforehand — no set format, no pressure. This is when the Bespoke Musical Timeline is discussed, and any songs to include or avoid are noted.
2 On arrival Set up quietly, well before guests arrive
Everything is set up unobtrusively. Radio microphones are tested ahead of time, so there's nothing to think about when guests arrive.
3 During the day Music at a respectful volume, moving with the mood
The soundtrack follows the tone of the day. It's reflective during the service or wake, and warmer if the gathering becomes a more social remembrance later on.
4 Afterwards A quiet departure, nothing left for you to manage
Equipment is cleared away without disruption. Your family and guests can simply be together at the end of the day.
A Few Practical Reassurances
At a time when there's already a great deal to think about, these things are simply taken care of.
Everything In Writing
Contracts, invoices and insurance paperwork are all handled in writing. They're available whenever the family needs them, so there's one less thing to manage during a difficult time.
Payment On Your Terms
Payment can be arranged however suits the family — by card, bank transfer, via Stripe or BACS.
Fully Insured & Vetted
£10 million Public Liability Insurance, Enhanced DBS checking, and PAT-tested equipment. There's nothing further for the family to think about.
Set Up Quietly, In Advance
Equipment is set up and tested well before guests arrive. There's no disruption or last-minute activity during the gathering itself.
Tim, Every Time
Tim attends every celebration of life personally. He has never missed a booking. The day goes ahead exactly as planned.
Gentle, Practical Steps for Choosing the Music
Choosing music for a loved one can feel like a lot at once. These suggestions are meant to make it a little lighter. None of it needs to be decided in a single sitting.
Gather ideas from more than one person
Different people often remember different songs. It might be the tune someone sang in the car, a record from their teenage years, or the track they always danced to at family parties. Ask a few relatives and close friends to send two or three suggestions each, with a line on why. Looking through old records, CDs or the playlists on a phone can also help. You don't have to use everything. A shared list often brings out stories people want to tell on the day.
Think about the shape of the day
It can help to picture the gathering in stages. You might want quieter, reflective music as people arrive. Perhaps a specific song for a moment of remembrance or a toast, and something warmer later as conversation picks up. Decide whether there will be readings or speeches, roughly when, and who will speak. Even a simple outline lets the music follow the day naturally. Nobody needs to make decisions while guests are present.
Check a few things with the venue
A short call to the venue can save worry later. Ask what time you can access the room and whether there are any sound restrictions. Ask where speeches would work best so everyone can hear. If the gathering follows a funeral service elsewhere, think about travel time and allow a little leeway. Passing these details on early means everything can be arranged quietly in advance.
Look after guests who may need it
Some guests may be elderly, hard of hearing or finding the day especially difficult. Seat them away from speakers, keep a quieter corner of the room, and make sure there is step-free access. These things can make a real difference. Let whoever is arranging the music know about anyone who would prefer lower volume or no flashing lights. Small changes like these help everyone feel able to stay as long as they wish.
From Tim
A word from Tim Daymond
When a family calls me about a celebration of life, the first thing I do is listen. I want to know about the person: what they loved, the songs that meant something, and how you'd like the day to feel. Everything is agreed with you beforehand. I'll be there myself on the day, setting up quietly before anyone arrives. I've been a DJ since 1976, and I know these dates often come at short notice. Get in touch whenever you're ready.
