F A Q

How Do I Go About Booking You?

I can take your booking by phone or email. I will take all the details for your event. I will then send you a booking contract to your home address to sign and return to confirm your booking. You will also get a copy of the booking contract for your own confirmation.

Why Do I Have To Sign A Contract?

Contracts are used to offer peace of mind to yourself that you have booked a professional that will turn up and to sort the genuine bookings from time wasters who book the first DJ available then cancel once they have found the cheapest. Once I have set asside a date for a booking, any other enquiries are declined. A last minute cancellation will leave me out of pocket. I am a professional business not an hobbiest.

Will You Turn Up?

Simple answer YES! I am a full time professional DJ. I can 100% gaurantee that I will turn up. I have a satalite navigation system to find your venue. I have RAC cover. I also have various other contacts in the business as a backup.

Where Are You Based?

I am based in Bourne, South Lincolnshire, near Peterborough.

Are You Insured?

I have £2M public liability insurance. You can view my certificate here.

Some "cheaper" DJs may not be insured. Although it is not a legal requirement, PLI covers third parties for injury or damages caused by a business. If you are injured by A DJ without PLI, you will still get your compensation but at £1 a week through the CPS after a long court case. This is why you'll find that many venues will turn away DJs without PLI.

Is Your Equipment Safe?

Under the "Electricty At Work Act" Businesses are required to keep regular maintenance of all electrical equipment used in the work place. One way of doing this is "Portable Appliance Testing" which is carried out on a yearly basis. You can view my PAT test certificate here.

Do You Have The Required Licenses?

It is the responsibilty of the venue to have an entertainment license. However as I am a laptop DJ I am required to have a Pro-Dub license. you can view this here.

How Much Do You Charge?

There are various factors taken into account when calculating the price;

Peformance times - From when the music is required to start to when the music finishes. I require upto 2 hours to setup and upto 1.5 hours to pack away. This is included in the price.

Location of the venue - As a mobile DJ I work all over the country, the price will incorporate time and cost of travelling to and from the venue.

Access at the venue - Is the function room not on the ground floor? It will take longer to setup and pack away if I have to take equipment up in a lift (please note that I do not do stair cases). How far is the function room from the entrance to the venue? It will take longer to setup and pack away if I have to carry equipment a long distance to the function room.

Overheads - I run a professional business with overheads including; purchasing and maintenance of equipment, purchasing of music, public liability insurance, portable appliance testing, licenses, income tax, advertising, web hosting, running costs of a van, van insurance, road tax... to name but a few. These overheads have to be divided between the total amount of bookings I do.
