Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a stereotypical cheesy disco?

We aim to differentiate ourselves from the stereotypical 'cheesy disco' as much as possible.  We want you to have fun, but there is so much good music to play, we don't have like having to resort to 'cheesy mobile disco classics'.  We have written an article about non-cheesy DJs that goes into this in more detail.

Will it look smart?

Yes.  All our DJs have an smart set up with sound and lighting.  

Can we see some photos?

All of the photos on our website were taken at events.  Some are large scale corporate events where we provided the DJs and the event company provided sound and lighting.  Please let us know if you need to see any more photos.

What music will you play?

Quite simply, it's up to you.  You can write a request list or we can read the audience.  We go into this in more detail in our blog article entitled musical choices at your wedding reception

Will you dress appropriately?

We're not one of those DJ companies where we always dress in black-tie whether you ask for it or not.  Sometimes it's more appropriate to be wearing a smart shirt, black trousers and freshly polished shoes!

Do you just perform at weddings?

Most of our customers are for wedding receptions, but we also perform at corporate events on a regular basis.  This means that we've taken responsibility for performing to 1000s of people a night.  We think that all of our our clients deserve the same high level of customer service.

How much do you charge?

Each event is different, so we will send you a quotation with an all-inclusive price based on the arrival time and your start &  finish times.  We won't sent you a price list and ask you to add it up yourself!

Can you send us some testimonials?

Yes, we have recent testimonials that we will send on request.

Do you get lots of recommendations?

Lots of our clients recommend us to their friends and colleagues.  Our biggest recommendation is that we are in-house DJs at Ramster, which is a superb venue near the Sussex & Surrey border. 

How long does it take to set up your equipment?

It tends to take around an hour, but we like to allow 90 minutes just to make sure.  With a bit of planning, in some venues it can be less than an hour. 

Do you have a hand painted advertising board or any flashing light boxes?

It's your event so we don't bring (or own, for that matter!) a big hand painted sign with a contact telephone number, flashing 1970s style light boxes or one of those red scrolling displays.

How far in advance do we need to book?

We recommend booking as far in advance as possible.  Most of our clients book between 6 and 12 months ahead. 

Are you insured?

Each DJ has Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and we will provide the certificate on request.

Do you carry back up equipment?

We use high quality, regularly serviced equipment and all our DJs carry essential back up equipment just in case.

How do we book?

Just send us a quick e-mail or call us to to let us know your postal address to accept our quotation.  We'll post you a booking contract.  We ask you to send the contract back with a deposit to confirm the booking.  We also ask our wedding clients to let us know both partners names. 

Do you offer any additional extras?

Yes, we offer additional extra services including early set-up, background music and a radio microphone for speeches.  Our extras page gives more details. 

What do we get for our money?

Like a good meal, it's all about the preparation, so the price includes all of the time taken to prepare requests and telephone & e-mail support.  You will probably have questions as you are planning your event and we'll make sure that we answer them quickly and efficiently. 

Will you keep in contact with us?

We think it's really important to keep in contact in the run up to your event, so feel free to call us at any time.
