How much will it cost?
There is no standard price. Enquiries are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and determine a fee based on the times, venue location and any additional requirements you may have. See here for a fast, easy, no-obligation quote.
How soon should we book you?
I do get booked up quite quickly, so booking in advance is recommended. The longer you leave it to book, the chances are that I will become unavailable on your date. Some clients are even booking me up 18 months in advance. Please contact me as soon as possible and I’ll let you know if I’m still available for your date.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A £100 deposit is required to secure the booking. This is for your peace of mind as well as mine to make sure it is definitely booked. Any professional DJ will want a deposit to confirm the date and an agreement to perform for the times you have decided on. If there's no deposit and no agreement, there's nothing to bind him to show up to your event. Once the deposit is made I will send you a confirmation email letting you know that the date is definitely yours.
How long is an evening disco usually?
Usually 4-hours from 8pm until 12-midnight. Although extra time can be added.
How long have you been a DJ?
I have over 15 years experience DJing weddings, private parties, etc.
Do you DJ at other types of events?
I am very much a wedding specialist. However, I do DJ at other events such as private Christmas and NYE parties if I'm not already booked for a wedding.
What type of music do you play?
Whichever music you and your guests want to hear and dance to. By default I would always avoid anything cheesy but some people love and specifically request a ‘cheesy disco’! Whatever your taste in music Dukebox Discos can accommodate it.
Can we give you a list of songs to play?
Absolutely. Any decent DJ will take an interest in what you want. You’re more than welcome to make a long list of songs for your playlist.
Would you mind if we wanted to choose all of the songs?
You’re very welcome to choose every single song for the whole night if you really want to but from my experience I know that this can kill the party. If you're paying for a reputable DJ, you're paying for their experience. Good DJs will link your all of your requested songs to other tracks to create a flowing set that keeps the dance floor filled!
Do you have any advice on which songs I should choose?
Think about what your guests will like to listen to and dance to as well. You might like Rap or Heavy Metal music but will your guests? You’ll enjoy yourself more if everyone else is enjoying themselves too.
Can our guests make requests?
Yes, of course. I don’t understand DJ’s who don’t take requests. I think it’s important to take requests because if your guests don’t feel like they are included in or part of your wedding then they could feel like they have no reason to stay. Taking requests will help to keep the dancefloor filled and create a great party atmosphere.
How long will it take you to set up the disco?
Normally around 30-40 minutes. However, in certain circumstances we may require longer .e.g. if access is difficult or you have additional requirements. Morning/Daytime set-up is possible – just let us know on enquiry if this is required.
Do you have back-up equipment should a failure occur?
Yes, you can rest assured that in the unlikely event of a technical issue your wedding party will still continue. All of my equipment is updated regularly and all from reliable, trusted professional brands, however I always carry back-up equipment just in case.
What are your power requirements?
I require at least one 13-amp double socket outlet to be available within a 10-metre radius of the set-up area.
Do you charge extra to set up?
No, there are no hidden costs/extra charges for setting up. The total price you are quoted is the total price you pay.
Can we use your PA system for speeches?
Yes absolutely. Whether you choose the ‘Full Day Package' or 'PA System Hire’ I will provide you with a microphone for the speeches so all of your guests can hear clearly if we are in a medium to large room.
What is your smoking / drinking policy?
I don’t smoke and I never drink any alcohol whilst working, so you can rest assured of my professionalism. All of my focus and attention will be on your wedding, making sure that everything is running smoothly.
Which areas do you cover?
Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire as well as some other surrounding counties in the Cotswolds.
Do you have Public Liability Insurance?
Yes, public liability insurance up to £10m in the event of something going wrong. Certificates can be viewed upon request.
Do you have your equipment PAT tested?
Yes, all equipment is annually PAT tested for electrical safety. Certificates can be viewed upon request.

"Reliable, experienced and very professional - never drank any alcohol, nor took any cigarette breaks. Seemed very focused and comfortable doing his job and made it all look easy. Everyone loved the music at our wedding breakfast and had a fab time at the disco in the evening. I would recommend Dukebox discos without hesitation."
