 Q. How much do you charge?
|
| |
The amount we charge is very much dependent on the type of service you are after.
Cost can vary depending on the necessary equipment and the length of show.
But, when providing a quote, we like to keep it nice and simple for you - with no hidden costs.
We also believe our prices are very reasonable for the service we offer.

|
Q. Do you take song requests?
|
| |
We gladly take song requests. We accept song requests or full playlists beforehand, and we can issue request slips to guests and take requests during the show.
We have a very large collection of music, but should you have something very specific you want played, we accept music on audio CD's on the night.
|
Q. How far will you travel?
|
| |
We cover Bristol, Bath and all surrounding areas including Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, Yate, Chippenham, Thornbury, Clevedon, Nailsea, Portishead, Newport and Western-super-Mare.
As a guide, we cover approximately 1 hours drive of Bristol.
Feel free to Contact Us> to check if we cover your area.
|
Q. Would it be possible to have background music during dinner?
|
| |
We are able to provide background music. We have a large collection of more relaxing music comprised of familiar tunes both old and new.
We are also happy to play any music that you have in mind.
|
Q. Will the DJ properly mix the music?
|
| |
Yes, our experienced DJ's will mix your chosen music live in front of your eyes keeping everyone happy on the dance floor.
You would be surprised how many DJ's do not mix live and rely on playing pre-mixed discs!
|
Q. What is the size of your equipment?
|
| |
We have a variety of equipment, some more suited to smaller venues and some for larger venues.
As a guide, we can happily provide a disco from anywhere up to 250 guests.
|
Q. Does the DJ talk on the microphone?
|
| |
Our DJ's are confident and know how to speak clearly on the microphone. However, in our experience we find most guests prefer to enjoy the music without the DJ talking over it, and therefore keep DJ banter to a minimum - for making important announcements and for song requests etc.
Let us know when booking if you would like more interaction from the DJ.
|
Q. How loud do you play the music? I hope it's not too loud!?
|
| |
An acceptable music volume level is to some degree down to the individual, but what is unacceptable is overbearing noise - biting treble and deafening bass. This is often caused by poor, unsuitable or incorrectly setup equipment.
Rest assured, we always provide equipment suitable for your venue and know how to set everything up correctly. Unless restricted by a sound limiter, we will make every effort to play music at a volume that we believe you and your guests will enjoy. Feel free to let us know if you would like us to change the volume level at anytime during the show.
|
Q. How long do you take to set up?
|
| |
We usually like to give ourselves 1 hour to setup. This allows enough time for testing and ensure everything is presentable.
|
Q. How will the DJ be dressed?
|
| |
We feel it is important for the DJ to look smart, clean and tidy.
General attire is shirt and trousers, for weddings - suit and tie.
You can specify when making the booking if you think a different attire would be more appropriate.
|
Q. My venue has a noise limiter. Will you be able to do my show?
|
| |
For anyone unfamiliar with noise limiter boxes, some venues have them installed to ensure the volume does not exceed a certain decibel level. They are more commonly found in venues that are close to residential areas.
The problem with noise limiters is not only do they not work well with live music (that includes karaoke), they enforce their volume limit by briefly cutting the mains supply if the level is exceeded. Should this happen, it will not only spoil your party, but could also permanently damage our equipment! Many DJ's and live acts refuse to perform in venues fitted with noise limiters.
In answer to your question, although we dislike noise limiters, we will perform your show. However, the volume of the music will be limited to that of the noise limiter, whatever that may be.
|
Q. Why should we book a disco for our wedding? Why don't we just use an iPod?
|
| |
Obviously, the choice is yours, but have you considered:
The time spent choosing the venue, the photographer, wedding cake, flowers, seat covers etc.
You want your wedding day to be memorable and finish on a high.
What do you remember about the last wedding you went to?
How many guests are you considering to invite to your wedding reception?
Have you really thought about your evening entertainment?
When considering providing your own evening entertainment, have you thought about:
Sound - your hi-fi might sound great in your room at home, but is it really up to filling a wedding venue with party music?
Lighting - can you create a great party atmosphere with little or no lighting effects?
Music - You've got lots of songs you like, but what do you play and when do you play them? Will they appeal to all your guests? What about taking requests on the night?
Thought about hiring disco equipment? What do you hire? Who is going to set it up, who is going to return it the next day? Is it suitable for your venue? How much?
Backup - What happens if equipment fails? Is that the end of your party?
Organisation? - Who will you trust to organise your evening entertainment?
A final note for those considering hiring just live entertainment. A wedding evening reception on average will run for approx. 4-5 hours. Live entertainment will usually only run for approx 1 to 2 hours max!
|
Q. Will you be able to do tomorrows party?
|
| |
We prefer to take bookings a minimum of 2 weeks before the day of the event. However, it is possible we could be available for a party the following day.
Why not Contact Us> to find out.
|
Q. Do you hire out equipment?
|
| |
At present, I'm afraid we do not hire out or sell equipment. Sorry.
|
Q. I'd like to hire a live act as well. Can they hook up to your equipment?
|
| |
This is fine, provided we understand what the arrangements are with your live act beforehand.
We can provide most cables and vocal microphones should they require them.
All we ask is that our DJ controls the levels on the mixer.
|
Q. Do you play songs with explicit lyrics?
|
| |
It has become increasingly common for explicit lyrics to be used in popular songs.
Not to cause any offence to anyone, we only play clean versions of tracks.
|
Q. I can't decide between a live act or a disco?
|
| |
We are happy to work with a live act if you decide to go with both.
In choosing between a disco or a live act however, discos are still the most popular choice for private parties. We believe this is for the following reasons:
Value - A good disco is likely to be cheaper than a good professional live act.
Choice in music - A good disco will be able to provide various types of music to suit everyone, rather than one particular style or genre that might not necessarily appeal to all.
Venue friendly - A good disco will work to the limits of the venue, providing suitable equipment to maximise the space available. Some live acts may not even be allowed to play at your venue.
Extras - A good disco will not only provide the party music, but will also offer extras such as additional lighting and background music.
|
Q. How do I make a booking?
