FAQ

Yes we do. The contract is posted out within 48 hours of us receiving your deposit, and it will show all the relevant information for your event. A contract is absolutely essential and any DJ/Band not using a written contract should not, in our opinion, be considered for a wedding reception.

When you book me then I will be the DJ who plays at your event, but if I’m not available I will recommend someone else from our team, and their name will be highlighted on your contract, and we will enclose some literature inside your envelope of the DJ I am providing.

Certainly you can. My office is situated see below

I won’t say how many years, but I played at a girls wedding in 2013 and I also played at her mum & dads wedding in The Country House Hotel (now The Rosspark Hotel) a decade or two earlier. I can’t say exactly how many weddings I’ve played at, but it would be over the 1600 mark.

I specialize in weddings, all ages of birthdays, engagements, christenings, communions, school formals, Christmas parties, and just about anything that needs musical entertainment.

I don’t really know what I do differently than my competitors. I think my knowledge and reputation speaks for itself, so until my work starts to dry up, I don’t really need to worry about what the other guys and girls are up to.

Well this question can only be answered when I know the venue, but there aren’t too many venues left in Northern Ireland that I haven’t played in?

Unfortunately I cover a lot of weddings in southern Ireland but I only go as far as Dundalk, Donegal, Cavan, Carlingford, Sligo, Louth, Meath & Monaghan.

I’m well in to my 3rd decade and the only date I never covered was Simone & Johnny’s wedding on Tuesday 27th September 2011, when I was so ill I literally couldn’t get out of bed, so I spoke to Simone the day before, explained the situation, and she was fine to take another DJ from our team. Even when my mum died on 21st April 2014 I had a wedding that evening and it was a fantastic night. Her words would’ve been, “The Show Must Go On”

A lot of DJs will say no to this, and tell you it’s not nice to intrude on someone’s big day, but I have had this request lots of times, and once I explain to my couple that someone will be popping their head in for 10 minutes in the evening, they don’t really mind. If however a couple said no, then it’s a NO.

I welcome all our bride & grooms and guests to get involved in the music selection. I have also been asked to provide personalised request cards, and I have been known to post a ‘request a song’ on the clients Facebook page.

Yes I do, the more the merrier.

If there is an evening buffet I usually take a 15 minute break and the music level is dropped down and there is easy listening background music playing.

Yes I have a wireless microphone. Always good for speeches, presentations etc, or if someone wants to say a few words from their table.

Yes. I am privileged to belong to the WDJA - The Wedding DJ Alliance

The WDJA is dedicated to the Wedding DJ and Wedding Disco Specialist. It promotes to brides & grooms the advantages of booking an experienced, professional DJ to provide their wedding entertainment.

No, definitely not. I play alongside lots of bands, and I always make sure I’m there early enough to set up side by side, so that your night runs smoothly with no disruptions. I’m also on hand to do your 1st dance, father/daughter dance before handing over to your band. There is also a slight reduction in your price if I play alongside a band.

Of course I can, and I have done for over 20 years.
