How much do you charge?

Every function is different and so the price will vary. The price can be based on a number of factors such as venue, location, playing times and accessibility . The best way to get a price is to request a quote or give us a call for a chat.

 

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, a deposit is required for all confirmed bookings in order for us to secure the date and services that you would like. This is payable by bank transfer to our account or in cash.   You will of course  be provided with a receipt for your deposit payment.

 

Will it be You doing my Disco?

Yes. There is only me and I do not hire other DJ's to do any of my functions. This means that I will know everything about the planning and what you require on the day.

 

How long does it take for you to set up for a wedding disco?

Once I have access to the room it usually takes  an hour to set up and test the equipment and to

do the necessary sound checks and adjust the lighting.

 

What are your standard playing times?

My standard evening disco playing times are usually from 7pm - Midnight. You can of course arrange for any times that suit you best, there will be a reasonable additional charge for any extension to our usual playing times.

You may need your DJ to be there to play quiet background music during an afternoon sit down meal and have a wireless microphone available for speaches.

The venue also will determine how late music can be played.

 

What will the DJ wear?

I will always dress smartly for a wedding reception with a suit and tie or bow tie

but I am always willing to dress accordingly for themed weddings when requested.

 

 

Can we meet you?

Yes of course, I would encourage this if possible as it is easier to go through all the ideas and timings of the evening.

Most of this if prefered can be done by phone, email, instant messages or facebook messenger.

 

Will you send us written confirmation?

Yes, when you book your event with Tony's Disco you will receive a written contract confirming for you all the details of your booking. This is for your peace of mind and shows our commitment to you and your wedding reception.

 

Can we choose the music?

Yes you can send a playlist which can be entirely your own choice of music or can be made up of partly your own and your guests.

Also we will need to know what particular track that you want for your first dance and cutting of cake etc...

Your list can be sent to me by email as soon as you confirm your booking and well in advance of the day.

If you prefer, you can leave the music choice to me and in this case you can be assured that I always do my best to keep the guests dancing or tapping their feet. Of course I always take requests on the evening and it is extremely rare that i have not got a particular track.

 

Our venue has asked us for proof of your Public Liability Insurance and PAT Test certificates. Do you have these?

Yes, I will be happy to send proof of these directly to your venue by email and there is a link at the foot of this website to verify my Insurance policy. I have £10 million in cover.

 

Do You offer a free no obligation quote for our wedding disco?

Of course! you can phone or use the contact us form here and there is no obligation to make a booking

I will need some information from you about venue and times so that I can work a price out for you

My prices are very fair and competitive.

 

Do You use a smoke machine?

I will only ever use a smoke machine at a wedding reception disco if you specifically ask for this and that the venue approves of it's use. Smoke machines are used to enhance the look of effects lighting and lasers.

 

Do you use strobe lighting?

I do not use strobe lights as these can be a safety issue with guests that suffer from light sensitive epilepsy

or simply a sourse of annoyance to guests

 

Will the music be loud?

The music volume level will change throughout the evening depending on what is happening at the time.

Music will be low in volume for example when the buffet or a meal is in progress and when guests are just arriving. This alows for people to talk comfortably. The volume will be higher later when the dancing gets under way but the level will still be such that you can talk and hear easily from seating areas in the venue. I am of course open to comments from you on this when you make your booking. 

 

Do You talk a lot on the microphone during the dancing?

I will only be talking when it is needed to inform everybody about the various events of the evening like inviting the Bride and Groom onto the dance floor for the first dance and the cutting of the cake, announcing the speeches and that the buffet is open and last orders at the bar.  I may also announce music requests and the persons names that requested the particular track. I do not constantly talk as i feel that the music and dancing flows better without too much patter.
