What happens if we reach our time limit on our chosen package?

You are more than welcome to discuss overtime with your DJ on the day of the event. Please note this depends on your venue as well.

How long in advance do we need to book?

As soon as you can. We work on a first come first serve basis.

What is discussed at the pre-function meeting?

Song selections for all the special moments will be discussed. Your DJ will also ask for a small list of your favorite songs/artists. This is just a guideline to give the DJ an idea of your music tastes. Your DJ will do his best to incorporate these songs/artists during your event.

Can we give the DJ a playlist?

You are more than welcome to. Please bear in mind that if DJ is instructed to stick to the supplied playlist, you are effectively turning your DJ into a Jukebox. We can however not take the blame for how the evening turns out with regards to music selections.

What is the procedure after the booking is confirmed?

When it comes to sound, does it matter how many guests we have?

The standard equipment included is adequate for up to 120 guests. More guests mean a bigger hall. Extra equipment is needed for larger crowds. Take note that sound travels and if your function is outdoors this will have an impact and should be discussed before the function.

Does the DJ accept song requests?

Our DJs are open for requests. Giving your DJ a song request does not necessarily mean that your song will be played next. Your DJ will play it at a time when he deems it to fit into what he is playing at any given moment. The DJ will shy away from inappropriate songs.

Can you share some tips?
