Wedding FAQs
Why we don't give quotes over the phone?
There is no way I can explain the unique service I offer, get a true sense of what your needs and expectaions are, or see if we are going to be a good fit for each other in a 10 minute phone call and I would hate to overcharge you.
Any DJ who quotes you an average fee without meeting you and exploring your needs and then explaining how he/she can make your wedding fun, unique and memorable as I can, will only deliver an "average" performance.
Do you want an "average" wedding reception or one tailor made which will reflect both your personalities and be conducted in the "style of your choice?
What is our pricing & packages?
Prices vary on the services you need and the time commitment that is required. Our Evening Packages start from £375.00.
What happens on the Wedding DJ Consultation visit?
DJ At My Party has provided an exclusive DJ & Disco service to weddings civil partnerships & many other formal events over the years. One of the key factors I discovered at an early stage was the benefit of meeting with the clients prior to the day of the event.
Unlike general parties where the choice of your DJ is less important, at a wedding the entertainment is quite often the longest part of the day.
Lots of people from different backgrounds and ages, family, Friends and colleagues all want to celebrate with you.
A good wedding DJ's role is therefore much more than just playing songs. It's quite a challenge balancing the needs and wishes of a diverse group of people, which is one of the main reasons why we offer a consultation meeting.
The meeting is usually held at the wedding venue, a quiet pub or your home; we'll get together for a chat. Your DJ Pete will work through a common set of questions and you can ask him anything you like. If you can't make a face to face meeting, then it’s not a problem, we can do this over the phone or via Skype.
We will both take away so much more from the meeting than you could ever imagine. And when Pete arrives to DJ at your wedding day, he'll be there as an acquaintance and not just hired help.
At Your Meeting, We'll discuss:
- Your vision of your wedding day
- Your music & lighting preferences
- Other entertainment & services
- Those of your nearest & dearest
- Your first dance(s) & your last song
- Specfic requirements
- All of the important timings
- Your guest request policy
- Any special announcements
- Venue access & other technicalities

Are there any Marquee Requirements? Yes...
We have invested thousands of pounds in high-tech, high-quality equipment for our clients’ enjoyment, therefore a few simple power requirements will mean that everyone is happy and our investment is protected.
Mains Power
In order to comply with the “Electricity At Work” regulations, all electrical installations must be carried out by a competent electrician. Improper use of electricity can kill and it is important that it is supplied safely.
Power to the DJs area must be supplied either by two separate 13A standard UK 3-pin sockets. These must be clean and not shared with other loads such as kitchen equipment or marquee lighting. A full 13A must be delivered to each socket provided.
If supplying power from another building or property please make sure that the cable is IP44- rated for outdoor use and is not shared with other electrical devices in that property.
Any generator used to supply power must be capable of producing a regulated supply of 230v +/- 10 volts at a frequency of 50hz. We always use RCD’s to protect ourselves and our equipment before connecting to any supply.
The DJs Area
This is dependent on the size of the marquee but there needs to be a clear area no less than 3m away from any marquee wall and 4m wide. Ideally we need a minimum height of 3m for lighting. We can set up on, or partially on a dance floor but would prefer an area separate to where people will be dancing. If supplying a separate area we would prefer not to have to put our equipment on bare grass or cardboard as it can get wet and very messy!
The area we set up in must be flat, sheltered and dry. Setting up equipment on ground that slopes or is bumpy poses a serious safety risk to everyone at the party.
If you are unsure about any of the above please do not hesitate to get in touch.
