I bring absolutely all the sound system and lighting equipment you will need for your given package- all the venue needs to provide is power!
Depending on your chosen package, this will include high-end sound system that can cater for up to 500 people depending on chosen package setup (including wireless microphone for speeches and announcements).
-
Anything and everything! I can DJ and play sax to any style of music, including but not limited to pop (radio chart and dance), house (deep/ classic/ tropical/ chilled/ commercial/ sax house), R&B and hip hop, swing/ jazz, motown, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, rock, drum n bass, garage, cultural music (Spanish/ latin/ tango, Indian, Persian, Italian) and more!
If you have pre-booked another DJ I can guarantee I will be able to free style over any music the DJ plays.

Absolutely! You are free to decide on as much of the music selection throughout the day as you would like. Once the booking is confirmed I will ask you to complete the entertainment form which is a short document in which you can select your preferred genres throughout the day and night; this should take no more than 5 or 10 minutes to complete.
Depending on your chosen package and event date, you will have a certain amount of special sax requests which I will learn for you (typically 3 songs per event). For further detail on music I will provide sampler playlists which include my Sax Repertoire. You will be able to keep or add songs to these as you’d like!
The best way to share any music selections you’d like is via Spotify (you do not need to have the paid version to do this); simply create a playlist and make sure it is selected, then click the 3 dots next to the “play” button, and select share > copy playlist link. You can then paste this into an email and forward to me.

To finalise the booking you will need to complete the invoice and sign the booking contract.
The deposit payment is 50% of the fee including all travel costs and accommodation (if needed).
The outstanding payment can be paid at any time but is due at latest one week before the event.For corporate events payment must be made in full at the time of booking.
Please use the reference provided in the original email containing the contract and invoice when making the deposit and outstanding payment.

Yes, please let me know if you would like to book extra hours and I will send you a quote, or if you would like to book extra hours on the night, please have cash or Venmo available, as this will need to be paid prior to the extra hour starting.
-
Yes, I can accommodate this, however there may be an additional charge for set up or arrival prior to 1 hour before the event start time. l am happy to provide background dinner music and/or a microphone for speeches. You can let me know if you would like me to add this to your booking when filling out the entertainment form.

The answer to this will vary depending on the type of event, genre of music, and section of the day.
During the ceremony I will usually play alongside backing tracks (no lyrics) unless you have requested that I play over the original tracks, or if the tracks will be more suitable when played with lyrics.
During the first dance (and father daughter dance if applicable) I would recommend playing the original track with sax accompaniment if desired.
During the party I will play sax accompaniment over the original tracks, unless you have booked a vocalist, in which case I will play alongside the backing tracks with the vocalist.
-
Yes, I am happy to make any announcements you should require throughout the event such as introducing the speeches, and anything else which you may need to have announced.
Besides announcements, please do let me know if you have any special requirements or anything at all which you would like me to do for you on your special day. It is my goal to ensure that you have a perfect day, so please don’t hesitate to ask if you need anything!
-
Site visits will not be required- as long as the venue has access to power, and a sufficient, safe space for the equipment this will be everything needed to ensure a great performance.
I understand that there is a huge amount of time and effort involved in wedding and event planning; therefore I have tried to make everything as easy as possible for you. Nearly all possible music, logistics and timing details etc. are covered in the documents I will send you (Sample Playlists, Contract, Entertainment Form, and this FAQ).
If you do need to go through any details and you feel it will be easier to call, just let me know and we can schedule a time to go through everything.
