FAQs
-
Not at all! While I love performing at weddings, I also play at corporate functions and private events all year round.
-
Yes - there is a small travel fee for events outside of Melbourne which will be included in your quote. Accommodation may be required for events over 2 hours away.
-
Absolutely! I perform at ALL weddings and happily celebrate love! 🌈
-
All I require from your venue is access to nearby power and cover from the elements (rain or sunshine). This is particularly important if your wedding is on a private property or marquee.
-
I’ll arrive at the venue one hour before your booking start time to ensure everything is ready to go. You will not be charged for this one-hour set-up time.
-
My set up is pretty compact. I try not to take up much space so there is more room for dancing. I only require a 2x3m set up area by the dance floor.
-
As long as I’m protected from the direct elements, so that the DJ equipment isn't at risk of overheating from direct sunlight or getting rained on. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on what cover is required. I also require a flat(ish) surface to set up on (as we don’t want speakers leaning at odd angles).
-
I only require access to 1 dedicated power point for my set-up (standard household power). I’ll provide all leads required for my set up. Please have power accessible within 10 metres of my performance area.
-
Absolutely—this is the benefit of having a DJ who live mixes! For your peace of mind, I am comfortable saying “No” to a guest’s song request if it would fizzle your dance floor.
-
Of course, I bring a wireless microphone to all events and can have it available for your MC and guest speeches.
-
Yes, for an additional fee, I’m happy to provide a basic MC service to guide you through the evening formalities. This is already included in my Platinum Package.
-
Unfortunately I'm not able to be booked for sax or MC only, as I have a minimum spend equal to my Silver Package.
-
Yes, provided it’s OK with your venue. Similar to other on-site vendors, there is an extra fee for overtime, which must be paid prior to commencement. My overtime rate is $500/hour on the night.
-
Absolutely. My equipment is well maintained and tested thoroughly to minimise the risk of any potential problems. However, I always ensure there is a backup plan, just in case.
-
I’m happy to meet/speak with you over Zoom, phone, and email in the lead-up to your event. To keep things stress-free, you will have access to a personalised online planning page where you can update your music brief at any time. I will firm this up with you one week before your special day.
-
You got me… Shake It Off.
