Frequently Asked Questions

How much do you charge for a disco?
This is the main question we receive and the answer is always different event to event. This is because every event can differ and so needs to be priced accordingly, this is why we produce a bespoke quote for each event as the price changes based on: Date, type of function (Birthday, Wedding, Seasonal, Corporate etc), venue, length of event, special requirements.

What events do you do?
We can cover any kind of event at any type of location whether it is indoor or outside, from a church hall to a holiday camp and everything
in-between. We are versatile and can adapt based on your requirements so please get in touch so we can discuss your event in detail.

We can play any type of music that you wish. We have a large library of music that covers all tastes and eras from the 1950’s to present day.

What happens if you need to go upstairs to get to the function space?
We understand that the space being used for your booking can be in different locations depending on the venue. All we ask is that you make us aware of how to access the space prior to the booking.

How long does it take for you to set up?
This is a hard one to answer as it depends on the type of booking, where the booked space is located and the size of the room. All these have factors on how long it takes us to set up the show. As a rule of thumb we would hope for at least an hour to set up comfortably. That being said, we can work with you and the time available.

Please make sure that you allow 30-45 minutes for us to take down the equipment at the end of the night.

How much space do you need for the show?
We can make the show fit any space, Ideally, we would ask for as much space as possible to accommodate our light show. However, we can work with you to make the show fit the space on offer.

How many plug sockets do you need?
The more sockets available the better, that said we can if required run the show on two plug sockets. The closer the sockets are to the space we will be using the better.

Does your equipment have Public Liability Insurance & Portable Appliance Test certificates?
We do have the above. If this is required by you or the venue please let us know beforehand so we can provide these.

What should I expect you to turn up wearing to the event?
If there are any specific requirements please specify these when making your booking. As a general rule we will dress smart casual.

Will your speakers be loud enough for the venue?
Yes, our sound systems can adapt to any venue as well as being an indoor or outdoor event.

Is the equipment waterproof?
No, if the event is taking place outside then we will need some type of covered space to set up within.

Can you use a smoke machine at the event?
We can use a smoke machine as this brings out fantastic effects from the lights we use. However, this would have to be agreed with the venue beforehand as not all venues allow the use of smoke machines.

This is due to smoke alarms within venues and smoke machines setting these off.
