FAQ
DJ's FAQ
Help and Advice.
How much do you charge?
Our charges are based on the date, times, duration and location of your function. We don’t operate a fixed fee or an hourly rate, as almost every function is different.
What kind of music do you play?
Our DJs knowledge and CD collections span the decades, encapsulating the finest musical moments from the 50s, the Rock & Roll years, the swinging 60s, sensational 70s, the 80s, 90s, 00s and the sounds of today. Our DJs age range spans from 18 to 60, so whether you’re looking for an experienced personality DJ for a family function, a seasoned professional for a corporate bash, or a cooler jock to create the right vibe at your 18th/21st or uni/college ball, look no further.
Will you play requests?
Yes, we will be very happy to take requests on the night from you and your guests. We also send you a requests sheet, and encourage you to list any favourite artists, styles of music and particular tracks or dedications. The completed requests sheet is given to your DJ in advance of the function, to help him/her prepare for your party.
Do you confirm in writing?
Yes, we confirm every function in writing and we will create 3 copies of every contract the DJ will carry a copy of the contract, one will be sent to you and one will remain at our office
How can I be sure you won't let me down?
Your DJ will sign a similar contract with us, specific to your function and is supplied with a detailed map showing how to get to your party. We have DJs on standby in case of sickness, etc.
How far away is the DJ coming from?
Normally your DJ will live within half an hour of your party, however where a particular DJ is requested, we will always endeavour to oblige, even if it means a longer journey.
How long do you need to set up, and how much space do you require?
For most functions we will allow an hour for setting up, and an area approx. 3m x 2m is ideal. For larger functions more time (and space) may be required.
Does it make any difference to the cost if my party is upstairs?
We ask if the party is on the ground floor, first floor, etc. to ensure the DJ knows where he/she is going to be set up. A DJ will often allow longer to set up if it’s upstairs. However please be assured we do not charge extra for going upstairs!
What kind of lighting do you use?
We have a selection of coloured lighting effects to create a party ambience at your venue. A smoke or haze machine used sensibly can dramatically enhance the lighting effect on the dancefloor, and is available upon request when booking at no extra charge, however please check in advance that your venue allow the use of smoke.
What will the DJ wear?
Our dress code is either smart casual, shirt & tie or black tie upon request. Please indicate your preference when making your enquiry.
Do you do Children's Parties?
Yes, we have a number of DJs who are experienced in children’s discos, however we do ask for parental supervision!
