There are some questions which I get asked frequently about the disco which I have tried to answer here. If you have any questions which are not answered here, please give me a call or drop me an email and I will be glad to answer them for you.
Can I connect my MP3 player or laptop to your equipment?
Any external audio device which has a line output or headphone socket can be connected to the spare inputs on our CD mixer consoles via the RCA phono sockets.
Can I play CD-Rs on your CD mixer consoles?
Standard audio CD-Rs can be played. Our CD console can also play CD-RW or MP3 discs.
There will be a singer performing at our wedding. Can they perform through your equipment?
I can provide a microphone and play any backing music if required. In most cases their own mics and equipment such as minidisc players, etc can be connected to the PA system. Please ask for further details.
Do you use strobe lighting at your discos?
I specifically do not use strobes on any of my discos. Some of the faster programs on the intelligent lightshow used on our discos may flash in a fast repetitive manner. Please let me know if any persons likely to effected by this are present in the audience so more subtle programs can be used.
Our venue is in a residential area. Is there any way you can restrict sound levels?
All the sound systems on the disco are equipped with sound limiters as standard. These are initially set to protect the amplifiers and speakers from being overloaded but can be configured to any desired point in order to prevent the music from exceeding an acceptable level and disturbing local residents.
How far will you travel for a disco?
Any distance within a 20 mile radius of Oxford is included in the disco fee. I would be glad to quote for travelling to any venue of your choice with any additional distance and costs being charged accordingly.
Can I pay in advance for my disco?
You can send full payment to me along with your signed booking form if preferred. I will then forward a receipt to you on return, leaving you safe in the knowledge of having one less thing to sort out on the day.
Will your DJ play requests?
I will gladly play any requests or dedications you or your guests would like to hear. You can even send me a list of your favourites in advance (even including any you dislike so they can be avoided!) or bring along any specific CDs you would like played. I strongly recommend that any essential wedding songs such as first/last dances are provided on CD as backup.
What attire will your DJ wear?
Dress up or dress down, I will always be appropriately dressed for the event. Smart, black tie or casual for the more laid back event, even something such as a beach party theme or fancy dress is fine so long as it doesn't impair my ability to DJ!
Do you always use a fog machine at your shows?
I do not use smoke machines on the disco but a more subtle alternative, called a hazer. This is entirely optional. I always check with venue staff with regards to possibilities of fire alarms being triggered as some venues forbid their use for this reason. When a haze machine is used, it only creates a subtle haze in the room to enhance the light effects instead of fogging out the venue!
Do I get my booking confirmed in writing? Is a deposit required?
I will post you a booking form for you to sign and return with a non refundable deposit in order to secure your booking. You will also find enclosed a postage paid return envelope along with a covering letter for your records.
