What kind of music do the DJs have?

Every DJ on our database has access to 1000s of songs. You can build your own playlist online which is then submitted to your DJ automatically. The DJs on average have 95% of the music you request, so the answer to the question, “what kind of music do you play”? EVERYTHING. You can find inspiration on the web site by checking out our music charts page. You’ll find all your favorite songs on our database which can be easily added to your playlist quickly. You don’t have to build a playlist, if you prefer you can ask the DJ to play what they think is right on the night.

Will you play requests?

You and your guests can give the DJ requests on the night, or you can ask the DJ to only play the music that you have entered on your playlist. It’s completely flexible and entirely up to you. If you enter some pre suggested songs on your playlist, it helps the DJ understand what sort of music tastes you have so they can prepare their own suggestions to play at your event which you may not have thought about.

What equipment will the DJ bring?

The equipment that’s used at your event will depend on the package or DJ you choose. We guarantee the price you pay will reflect the standard of DJ you receive based on local economical trends. All the DJs we use are professional mobile DJs with professional equipment. We will advice you what package is needed at your event. This is to ensure you are aware of what standard of DJ will “Fit in” with the size of the venue and the amount of equipment needed. The two main variables in equipment that vary from package to package are the amount of lighting effects that are used, and the speaker power. Again, these vary from DJ to DJ. The absolute minimum set up you will be provided with is a speaker system powerful enough for up to 100 people and 2-4 lighting effects professionally presented (Bronze package). If you require karaoke, the DJ will bring a monitor, karaoke microphones and karaoke books.

Included in the booking agreement is our terms and conditions. You will be asked to digitally sign a contract  which confirms you agree to the t&c’s.

How can I be sure the DJ will turn up?

We have safeguards in place to ensure your DJ honors your booking. Firstly the DJs like to perform well for us to help with their own development, but also because they are representing us. As a booking service, we have the potential to give the DJs more frequent work. If a DJ does not hold up to the highest of standards, they are taken off the database. We also prefer to use DJs that we’ve used before. We email and text the DJs the week before your event to confirm everything is in place for the event and going as planned. We will also ask the DJ to contact you directly to offer their reassurances. If the worst was to happen and a DJ broke down or became ill at late notice, you are in a better position to deal with such an emergency by booking through us. We can contact hundreds of DJs very quickly, increasing the likeliness that we will find you a cover DJ at short notice.

How far is the DJ from my event location?

Depending on many variables, your DJ will usually be within a 30 minute drive from you. This may vary if you have requested an individual DJ or have requested several add-ons. It is rare that a DJ travels for more than 60 minutes from their home to your event location.

What are the set up times?

We allow one hour before the start of an event for setting up. Please ensure your venue is aware of this. If you require an early set up, please contact us before making a booking, as this may change your quote.

The lighting effects used vary from DJ to DJ, package to package. You can choose between 4, 6 and 8 lighting effects depending if you choose a bronze, silver or gold package retrospectively. The larger the event the more effects you’ll need. The majority of the DJs use LED lighting effects as they are very bright and light weight. If you require a larger lighting show please contact us.
