Frequently Asked Questions

Can we supply a playlist for our event?

We are happy to take playlists of the songs you would like to hear during the night. We suggest you keep lists under 20 tracks and also tell us the genres of music you like. This gives us the flexibility on the night to play something for all your guests and give everyone a great time! 

Do you take requests?

This goes hand in hand with the previous question. We are happy to take requests on the night and will play them whenever possible as long as we have the flexibility to do so.

How long do you need to set up?

We need around one hour 30 minutes to set up and an hour to take everything down at the end of the event. Please factor this in, especially if the venue has time restrictions. 

How will you dress for our event?

We will always dress appropriately for your event. If the event is black tie that is how we will dress. If the event is more casual we will wear an open neck shirt. If it is fancy dress (and you would like) we will do that too. We will never wear jeans and trainers. This will be covered in the consultation. 

How much space do you need?

We will do our best to fit our equipment in whatever space is available. If this is not possible we will let you know before the event.

Will you always use all of your equipment?

Our speakers are high quality and loud enough to fill large rooms. We will always provide the best lighting set up for your venue (this will depend on the amount of space available to set up in). The item which is most variable is the smoke effect machine. We can only use this where the venue allows.

What is your approach to volume levels?

At any event the volume of the disco can be a real annoyance to those who would rather sit and chat than dance. We try to ensure that the volume gives the right balance for all the guests to enjoy. Our DJ will walk the room to check this and if you would like any adjustment please ask and they will be happy to oblige.

What music do you have available?

We have an extensive music library covering many different genres. As long as the music is worthy of a party and likely to put a smile on your face we will either have it, or get it for you! If you want a specialist thrash metal or gangster rap dj, then we are not the company for you.

How do I know you will turn up?

If you follow mobile disco and DJ pages on Facebook you will realise that booking cheap DJs. is often a mistake. They may not provide you with a contract, take unreasonable deposits, add on charges after you have confirmed the booking and finally, not turn up to your event at all because they found a higher paying customer elsewhere and did not even tell you. At Smiles Ahead Mobile DJ we will take a reasonable deposit and provide you with a contract. This means you have legal reassurance of our commitment to your night. The price quoted will be the price charged (unless you decide to alter the booking in some way). Finally, we are looking to grow the business on the basis of excellent customer reviews and leaving you stranded on your important night is not something we want to see written across Google and Facebook!
