  • Tips On Hiring A Quality Mobile disco: Don't leave Your Function To An AmateurThe following are some basic tips on making sure you hire the very best mobile disco service for your money.Most functions are one-off's, so you want to make sure you get it right. These tips are in no particular order of importance, but all should be considered. First, before you even contact a mobile disco company, it's vital that you don't have your mind on hiring the cheapest you can find. As in most things, you generally get what you pay for. Especially with a one off event like a wedding, don't you want the very best you can possibly afford? Let's face it, in a week or two, most of your guests will remember what food they had, what the flowers looked like, how great the cake looked or how the room was decorated... But ask them if they had fun, and I'll bet they'll remember, and who do you think carries the can for that? Damn right, the DJ. If you're paying £300 plus for the wedding cake, god knows how much on flowers etc, why would you expect to pay less than a few hundred quid for a professional DJ? But we're getting caught up with the wedding thing, when we're just trying to find a good DJ for you. Ok, let's face it, there's no substitute for a word of mouth recommendation. However, make sure the person recommending hired a DJ for a similar function to the one you're about to organize.The DJ's approach for an 18th birthday is, or should be markedly different to the approach for a wedding reception - and you thought we just turned up and pressed a few buttons? Next, if you call a DJ and he gives you a price without asking any questions about your event, which should set off warning lights.Questions a professional DJ should be asking include: Type of function - Wedding, birthday, kids party etc Venue: Number of guests; Start and finish times Particular music requirements - no point hiring a Rock 'N' Roll DJ for an 80's theme night Right then, health and safety... If you ask nothing else of your potential DJ, please ask if they have Public Liability Insurance and fully PAT tested equipment. Public Liability Insurance is a legal requirement for any business and, though we don't like to admit it, accidents can and do happen. PAT stands for Portable Appliance Test and any business using portable electrical equipment needs to have all gear tested. Again this is a legal requirement and they should carry certificates proving all PAT documentation is up to date.Ok, this one might seem obvious, but make sure the company you're dealing with confirms everything in writing and that they have a written Booking Agreement for you to sign. The Booking Agreement should lay out all details of the function - date, venue, times, overtime rates etc. This Agreement is to protect both the company and the customer and should not be heavily biased in any one party's favor.Does the mobile DJ have back-up equipment in the unlikely event that anything packs in on the night? I say unlikely, if they're professional they'll use pro equipment and this tends to be very sturdy and not given to blowing up at a moment's notice. However, a less than professional DJ, the kind that are just in it for the beer money use very substandard equipment, even, I hate to say CD players you'd find in your average home hifi system. What happens if the DJ is taken ill on or before the date of your event? Do they have a plan for making sure another suitable DJ will do the job? And while we're on the subject of mobile disco companies using other DJ's... Is the person you’re dealing with, either on the phone or via the company website the person who will be doing the actual DJing on the night? When someone calls Gemini Discos, they are talking to me, and it's me that will be turning up. I don't sub-contract work out to other DJ's. If I'm not available for a function I'll pass on details of other DJ's, but I won't take the booking and act as an agent. How many shows does the company sen
