Amazing Service, Perfect Event

We were absolutely thrilled with Steve’s service. It was a fantastic night and the feedback was great. Everyone asked about where we had found the DJ and where they knew him from. All our guests loved the quiz and video Steve put together with treasured photos of family and friends. Steve was a consummate professional and helped manage the surprise guests arrival and helped make the night unforgettable. Not to mention his ability to get everyone up in the floor by the end of the night. Amazing. Will be booking him for any future events.

Above and beyond

Steve did the AV for our Grandfathers funeral. Despite a member of the church dropping his laptop at set up (while trying to be helpful!) he was organised, had back up laptop and despite the technical challenges it caused pulled off a great slide show for the audience. Would 100% recommend Steve. Thanks for helping make our day ,memorable. Don

Dear Don, Thank you so much for your kind and gracious words and for sharing your experience. It was an honour to assist in celebrating your Grandfather’s life. Even with the unexpected challenges, I’m glad we were able to ensure the day went as smoothly as possible in the circumstances and that the slideshow could be part of such a meaningful tribute. Your recommendation means the world to me, and I'm grateful to have been able to support your lovely family during this important time. If you ever need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Warm regards, Steve

High quality service and superb communication

McKenna Live events made the process of selecting and supplying a guest speaker a breeze. Very professional. I would highly recommend them for any events. Des Clarke was exceptionally funny and a gent . He took time to talk to our guests and take selfies.

Fantastic service and great support.

McKenna events really go the extra mile to make sure everything is thought through and you have the right event support on the day. Our event had a few technical challenges and Steve stayed with us throughout to make sure it went smoothly. I will be using this company again for future events.

Thank you so much, Janine. It was not only a pleasure to be supporting you and the important work you do for climate change, but I loved the chat we had. I look forward to working with you again, and thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review.

A professional and outstanding service

Steve as Entertainment Lead, MC, DJ, quiz master, guest engagement supremo enhanced my Birthday Party one hundredfold. We will always book him on other occasions, as will many of my guests, all of whom commented on how ‘he held the evening together, unobtrusively, humorously and with outstanding music and communication skills. This guy is more than a DJ - he’s the best at what he does - a true ‘Pro’. If you want a Party to flow, entertain your guests, have all the ingredients for lighting, videos, music with fabulous dancing, great guest engagement and customised to your requests, Steve McKenna is your man. I had soul, disco, Scottish and much more. He’s a TEN out of 10.
