Q: How much does a disco cost?

A: Prices vary and are dependant on a number of factors including dates, performance times, location, accessibility and number of guests. To get a fast no obligation quote please call our office on 01344 484249 or use our online quotation form.  

Q: What type of music do your DJs play?  

A: Having a massive music database at our disposal means that we can cater for just about any style you require including tunes from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s 90’s and 00’s.  

Q: Can I provide a playlist?

A: Absolutely! Simply email your playlist to us before your event.  

Q: Will the DJ play our requests?  

A: Yes, it is your night!

Q: Does the disco we book include lighting?  

A: Yes, we carry a comprehensive range of lighting and effects as standard.  

Q: How long does it take for you to set up?  

A: This depends on the size of the rig and how assessable your chosen venue is but on average about 1 hour 30mins.  

Q: Can we use your microphones for speeches and presentations?  

A: Yes, we use professional radio mics.  

Q: How do I book a disco?  

A: Booking your event with us is easy and hassle-free. Once you have been given a quote and the availability of your party date has been checked, we will send out all the necessary paperwork for you to fill in and return. We will also require a 10% deposit of the overall booking fee. We will then send you written confirmation of your event. The outstanding balance is payable to your DJ on the day of the event. Please note alternative payment methods are available to businesses and organisations; please contact us for further details.

Q: What areas do you cover?

A: Please visit our coverage area page.

Q: What type of events do you do?

A: Any event where a DJ, mobile disco and/or Karaoke host is required, from weddings to children’s parties and everything in between. I really do cater for everyone and make every event unique and to the clients requirements.

Q: Can we meet you to discuss our event before/after booking?

A: Of course. Most clients are happy to discuss their requirements via email or over the phone but some prefer to meet us in person. We are more than happy to oblige in these cases and usually arrange to meet somewhere at equal distance between us.

Q: Can I come and watch you play anywhere before/after I book you?

A: This is a really difficult one. We completely understand why prospective clients want to seek assurance that we are good at our job before they book us but there are two reasons why this can prove difficult.

1. Nearly all of our bookings are for private parties, where it would be entirely inappropriate for us to invite prospective clients along!

2. Each event that we play at is very different, we work with the client to ensure they get exactly what they want; therefore it is unlikely that any other event will be a good representation of how we will play at your event e.g. one client might want a whole night of house music where as you might want party classics.

For these reasons we have developed the photo gallery page to give you an idea of what everything looks like in action!

We also have a testimonials page which may be useful in seeking assurance and can send a sample mix in the genre of your choice.

Q: How far in advance should I book you?

A: We are happy to take bookings as far in to the future as you require. Saturdays get booked up anything up to 1 year in advance where as mid week bookings tend to be much closer to the event date.

Q: How many electric sockets do you need access to?

A: We just need a minimum of 1 socket, although 2 or 3 is more preferable.

Q: How much space do you need?

A: Our standard layout requires around 4m wide x 2m deep. However, we can reconfigure the equipment to fit most spaces.

Q: Will you make some announcements on our behalf?

A: Yes, if you require us to announce the first dance, cutting of the cake, get everyone to sing happy birthday etc., just ask!

Q: Will you liaise directly with my venue about any requirements you or they have?

A: This is no problem. Sometimes the venue will specifically ask to talk to us directly to discuss our space/electrical requirements and to discuss set up time etc. We often also speak directly to the event coordinator regarding proof of PAT testing and Public Liability Insurance. Just let us know if your venue wants to talk to us.

Q: Do you have Insurance?

A: As a professional company, we hold P.A.T & Public Liability Insurance cover for £2 million against any type of incident. This is sometimes requested by individuals or venue owners and gives our clients peace of mind knowing we are fully insured. Our certificate’s of insurance are available on request.

Q: Do I need to feed and water you?

A: You are certainly not obliged to feed or water us, but of course it is always nice to be looked after! We are unlikely to be able to leave the DJ booth for anything longer than a couple of minutes, so the odd offering of a soft drink would be appreciated.
