There wasn't one thing I could suggest for improvement, it was perfect!


   
Having worked at approx 500 weddings over the last 12 years, I understand the needs of brides and grooms fully, when it comes to providing discotheques for the most special day of your life. 

I understand the need for professionalism, attention to detail, reliability and punctuality. 

The last thing a bride and groom need is to have the additional stress and worry on the day because their entertainment hasn't left enough time to travel the venue or has got 'stuck in traffic'.

I choose to offer the best level of service to all my customers regardless of venue size / location / duration etc, I prefer to keep things simple as possible and offer a good value package as standard with very few 'extras' which can make a simple process of booking a disco into an uphill struggle.

Wedding Discotheque

   
Weddings - the standard package (i.e. what I turn up to your venue with as standard):-  
   
Large PA system (the HK Audio system I use is suitable for up to 500 guests), it consists of bass speakers and full range speakers, it splits down so I can use it is various formations so it will suit any venue.

Star cloth DJ Area (a 3m x 1.2m starcloth is positioned across the front of my equipment, this looks very classy and also hides all the cables etc).
Goal post style lighting rig, consisting of wind up tripod stands and aluminium truss with at least 4 advanced lighting effects (for the dance floor)
Over 10000 songs on CD, Mini Disc and in digital format.
Microphone available for speeches / announcements at any point throughout the evening.
The standard fee incorporates an arrival at approx 1730 and setting up during the natural break of your wedding breakfast between day and evening.  If if setting up in a separate room to the Wedding Breakfast, this will take place out of sight of the guests and be ready for a 6.30 - 7.00pm earliest start.
 
The above package has been designed to give the best value show for a standard fee.
   
The Extras  
   
Setting Up The Equipment Early In The Day - There is an additional charge for an early set up (automatically included in any additional fee is, background music during drinks reception / dinner.  use of a radio microphone during the speeches).  There is also one other small requirement when early set ups are involved, as I'm likely to be onsite for around 10-12 hrs, it would be appreciated if I could be supplied with some food of sorts.
   
Black Backdrop - I have available a large (up to 9m wide and 4m tall) freestanding black backdrop which can be installed into most venues, to blackout one end of the room, or the stage area.  This makes the disco area more of a focal point and brings a 'stage show / production' feel to the disco, utilising the truss from which this is suspended, additional colour floods can be mounted on this structure also.
   
Mood Lighting, LED Uplighters - Mood lighting uses freestanding LED up-lighters, which can colour any white or bright coloured wall or marquee lining.  The units will produce a vast array of colours across the visible spectrum.  LED up-lighters are relatively new technology that uses high power LED (light emitting diodes) to generate nearly every colour the human eye can see, LED lights use very little power and generate a small fraction of the heat compared to traditional halogen bulbsd, so they are perfect for marquees and any other surface that needs a bit of colour. 

The lights are controlled by a central controller and the brightness / colour can be changed with a flick of a switch.

 
Karaoke - As an additional option you can add karaoke to your standard disco package for a small additional fee, Karaoke can be added to your disco to include up to 4 singers, flat screen for the lyrics, if requested large screen and projector for the audience to see the lyrics and over 12000 karaoke songs.
 
So there we have it the standard package and the optional extra's, I've purposely tried to keep it as simple as possible for you, so you are not overwhelmed with lots of different options and packages.

For more information please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

What Will It Cost?

As a rough guide please take a look at the fees below:-  

Guide to Fees and Optional Extras. Fee:-
Standard Fee, based on arriving at 1730 setting up for 1900 and playing music as required from 1900 - 0100 Generally fees between:- £300 and £350 depending on location.
Early Set Up Fee (includes background music during drinks reception & wedding breakfast & use of radio microphone during the speeches. Earliest Set by time:- 1330 £50
Black Backdrop (up to 9m wide and 4m high), blackout the stage area to give the evening more of a production feel. This adds approx 30mins to the set up time:- £75
L.E.D. Mood Lighting, colour your venue to any colour within the visible spectrum, lights can be static, move the beat or cycle through colours.  The uplighters use very little power, so can be used in marquees or venues where conventional lighting may not be suitable.  The brightness of the lights can also be controlled to set the correct atmosphere throughout the night. When booked as an optional extra, these would have to be installed before any guests arrive at the venue. Fee's start at £140 for up to 8 uplighters, and just £70 per set of four additional units it's a cost effective and great additional thing to have.  Because the LED uplighters use very little power, you can have as many as you wish.
When booked on their own without the disco. Packages start from £225.
