Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I will always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.”
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100.
How much time do you need to set up?
A minimum of 45 mintutes to have the PA and lights and everything set up.
As soon as the PA is setup I can have background party music playing.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
YES of course! However, I prefer you choose songs more in the following way:
Definitely!
LOVE
HATE
Maybe
So you would mark up my setlist like this so that I can choose a good selection of songs you and all of your guests will hopefully love as well
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes all equipment I need will be provided.
I will just need a minimum space of 3x3 meters and access to safe electricity and cover provided if outside and rain is a potential.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
I will learn your first dance free of charge! any other additional songs to learn are £20 per song request
