What will my DJ wear?

Generally they will wear a YOURDJ black shirt and black trousers, but if you have anything else in mind then it's up to you (fancy dress etc.). Remember though YOUR DJ has to do a complicated job, so some clothes may be inappropriate.

Back to Top

Do you have insurance?

Your DJ has Public Liability Insurance < click here to view > which will

protect you and your guests against any personal injury claims. Many venues will insist on

showing this certificate on booking, so if you are shopping around, ask other DJ's for proof

of PLI too. We include a copy in our application pack for your use. All of our equipment is

also PAT safety tested

Back to Top

Do I have to Feed the DJ?

In short no. Your DJ is there to do a job and you are paying them for it. It looks unprofessional to have the DJ tucking in to the buffet when they should be behind the DJ booth. All DJ's are encouraged to bring their own food, which should be consumed before or after the event.

Back to Top

Do you require a deposit?

Yes all mobile events listed on this website require a £50 deposit

Back to Top

When shall we book our DJ?

Generally as soon as you can, especially during busy periods! We also offer a discount if you book in advance! See the relevant categories for more information. For short notice bookings (less that two weeks) we cant guarantee that we can find you a DJ who is not only right for you but also not already busy.

Back to Top

What music will my DJ play?

Your DJ will be picked on your requirements. they will play any music you like from the 1930's to today, whether it be rock & Roll, jazz, dance, chart etc. Most of this will be determined when filling out the information request form.

Back to Top

How loud will the music be?

Generally The music will not be loud but in keeping with the type of party and dynamics of the party. If the dance floor is full then the music will be a suitable volume for the crowd. If You have a problem with the music being loud or not loud enough, let them know and they will adjust it accordingly.

Back to Top

Do you do children's parties?

Yes, we have children's party DJ's with full CRB checks etc. Please contact us for more information.

Back to Top

What equipment do you have?

All equipment of each DJ is different, but we demand that it is of the highest standard in terms of quality and reliability. We check all DJ's equipment and make sure it is all P.A.T (portable appliance tested) tested for safety. In terms of quality you will get a great sounding and great looking mobile disco! All equipment will be modern and in situ with the venue and your requirements.

Back to Top

Do I have to buy My DJ drinks?

No you are under no obligation to buy them a drink. you can if you want supply the DJ with soft drinks though. The dj is encouraged to bring their own soft drinks, especially during long sets. Our DJ's are not permitted to drink alcohol whilst DJing. Most DJ's drive and no DJ can do their job drunk anyway.

Back to Top

Do you do background music?

Yes we do. this is actually how we start many of our gigs as people filter in etc. It can be tailor made to your precise requirements. Whether its a formal dinner or a sit down breakfast we c an play any form of music at a low volume for as long as you want.

Back to Top

How much space do you need?

It depends on the type of package booked and the size of the venue. generally a small set up will require about 3 meters by 2 meters, but this depends as each DJ has different equipment. We can visit your venue before hand if you are not sure.

Back to Top

How much will you my DJ cost?

All prices are listed on this site in the relevant categories. There are two categories relating to venue size and each one is for 4 hours djing time. If you need more time than this a charge of £20 per half hour will incur. This must be distinguished prior to returning the booking form. Travel if free up to 30 miles from Southampton. After that a 50p per mile cost is charged to pay for petrol and vehicle usage. Again this must be distinguished prior to returning the booking form. A 20% deposit is required on booking and this is to be paid by cheque or bank transfer when returning the booking form.

Back to Top

What size discos can you offer?

In general, we can do small events in small spaces with two speakers, decks etc. too large nightclubs and festivals. If you have any questions please contact us to discuss your needs.

Back to Top

Can we choose our own music?

On booking we will send you an information request form which will give you a section to choose what music you want including tracks etc. You may bring some tracks with you but it much easier for us to source them ourselves whilst preparing for your event. Your DJ will also take requests on the night providing they have the track and are not inappropriate.

Back to Top

What do you require on the night?

All our DJ's need is a minimum of two meters by three meters, two plug sockets and possibly a small table. DJ's are required to collect their pay prior to performing. They will come and introduce themselves on entry.

Back to Top

"My mate can do a disco for £100!"

At the end of the day you get what you pay for. There are loads of people out there with some disco equipment, no insurance and not much experience trying to earn a few bob on the odd weekend! All of our DJ's are full time seasoned professionals and know what they are doing. As with everything else, it's worth spending a bit more for a much better act.

Back to Top

How do we know the DJ will turn up?

Each booking is confirmed with a signed legally binding contact between you and the DJ. We will also contact the DJ prior to the event and make sure everything is OK. In the case of an unforeseen problem then we will always have another DJ to stand in for them. This has not happened yet though!

Back to Top

How long will it take you to set up / pack up?

Generally it will take up to 1 hour to set up and the same to pack up, but this may vary by DJ and type of venue etc. Generally we arrive far earlier than expected, just to make sure our mobile DJ rig is in the best shape possible.

Back to Top

I have a band booked, can you play along side them?

Yes, in fact we love supporting bands as we can have a certain theme to the evening. We can start the evening, do the break and finish the night too.

Back to Top

Can I see my DJ playing at another party beforehand?

Sorry but as most of our events are private there is no way to see the DJ as our clients will get annoyed with strangers coming to their party. We will do all we can to make sure the DJ is perfect for you.

Back to Top

Our venue has its own sound and light. Can my DJ use that?

yes, but it depends of what the equipment is? If it is of bad quality then we would rather supply our own rig, as it will be detrimental to our business with a shoddy sounding and performing system.
