Your questions answered ...
Answers to the questions couples ask us most. Can’t see yours? Give us a call on 0113 871 5511.
How far in advance should we book you?
It’s best to book as early as possible, especially for peak wedding dates during spring and summer. Many couples book 12–18 months in advance to secure their preferred date. However, if your wedding is sooner, feel free to reach out—I might still be available!
Do you provide a written contract?
Yes, I always provide a detailed contract that outlines everything, from the agreed-upon services to timings and fees. This ensures we’re both clear on expectations and protects you on your special day.
Can we meet before the wedding to discuss our music preferences?
Absolutely! I encourage pre-wedding consultations, whether in person, over the phone, or via video call. This gives us the chance to discuss your vision, favourite genres, and any must-play or do-not-play songs to create a truly personalised experience.
Do you offer a personalised playlist, and can we include must-play or do-not-play songs?
Yes, personalisation is at the heart of my service. I’ll work with you to craft a playlist that reflects your style while keeping your guests engaged. You can provide a list of must-play songs, as well as songs you’d prefer to avoid, ensuring the music aligns with your preferences.
Will you take song requests from guests during the reception?
If you’re happy with it, I can take requests from your guests. However, I always ensure their choices fit the overall vibe you’ve envisioned. If there are any requests you’d prefer to avoid, I’ll handle it tactfully.
What genres of music do you specialise in?
I’m experienced across a wide range of genres, from classic hits and Motown to modern chart-toppers, dance anthems, and indie favourites. My goal is to create a mix that reflects your tastes and keeps the dance floor lively
How do you handle song transitions and maintaining the energy on the dance floor?
With years of experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the crowd. I blend songs seamlessly using professional mixing techniques, ensuring smooth transitions and keeping the momentum going throughout the night.
Do you provide your own equipment, including sound and lighting?
Yes, I come fully equipped with professional-grade sound systems, a stylish all-white DJ booth, and dynamic lighting. My setup is designed to deliver excellent audio and enhance the atmosphere of your venue in a tryly immersive way.
Is your equipment tested and do you have backup equipment in case of technical issues?
Absolutely. All my equipment is regularly tested to ensure reliability, and I always bring backup systems to every event. This guarantees that your day won’t be interrupted by unforeseen technical issues.
Do you bring a microphone for speeches and announcements?
Yes, I provide high-quality wireless microphones, perfect for speeches, toasts, and announcements. I’ll ensure they’re set up and ready for use when needed.
Can you also serve as an MC (Master of Ceremonies) for the reception?
Yes, I’m happy to serve as your MC. From welcoming your guests and introducing the wedding party to announcing key moments like the cake cutting and first dance, I’ll ensure everything runs smoothly and on time.
Do you offer extras like uplighting or special effects for the first dance?
Yes, I offer a range of extras to enhance your wedding, including uplighting to transform your venue and cold spark fountains for a magical first dance. These optional add-ons can make your day even more special.
How early will you arrive to set up?
I typically arrive 1–2 hours before the event to set up and test the equipment. For larger events or when additional features like uplighting are included, I may arrive earlier to ensure everything is perfect.
How long will you play music at the wedding? Are there options for overtime?
My standard packages includes up to 5 hours, typically covering the evening reception. If the party is going strong, I offer the option to extend the performance for an additional fee.
Do you require a booking fee to secure our date?
Yes, a £100 booking fee confirms your date. The balance is due 14 days before your wedding.
What happens if you’re unable to attend due to an emergency?
In the unlikely event of an emergency, I have a network of professional DJs who can step in. I’ll ensure that whoever covers the event is briefed and fully prepared to deliver an exceptional experience.
Do you have experience working at our venue or similar venues?
Likely! I’ve performed at a wide variety of venues across Yorkshire and beyond. If your venue is new to me, I’ll liaise with them in advance to understand the layout, acoustics, and any specific requirements.
How do you handle unexpected changes in the schedule?
Flexibility is key at weddings, and I’m experienced in adapting to changes on the day. Whether it’s a delay or a sudden adjustment, I’ll work with your coordinator to keep things running smoothly.
What makes your services different from other wedding DJs?
I truly care … I combine years of experience, a highly personalised approach, and an elegant all-white setup designed for weddings. My focus is on creating a seamless, unforgettable celebration tailored to your unique style and preferences.
