Choosing the right party venue for your special occasion
is considerably easier than choosing the right mobile disco.
When you first walk into a party venue its obvious from
the decor if it projects the right ambiance. You can know
in an instant if it will be too big, too small or just too
expensive. Being sure you hire the right mobile disco is
far more tricky, and you will not really know how things
are going to turn out until the night.
There is a huge range in the standard of mobile discos
and DJ services available. Every DJ in the world claims
to have state of the art mobile disco equipment and vast
experience in any type of event. Unfortunately some mobile
DJs will make claims that are simply not true. It is very
easy to buy cheap mobile disco equipment secondhand, illegally
download some music and in five minutes call yourself a
professional party DJ. Its often the case that amateurs
DJ's using cheap mobile disco equipment will do a phone
round to find the going rate and slightly undercut the competition.
Its a reality that a experienced professional DJ often works
out to be only a fraction more expensive to hire than a
bedroom DJ who uses cheap mobile disco equipment.
The three main ways in which mobile discos are different
are
- Quality of the mobile disco equipment used by the DJ.
- Attitude, does your mobile disco care if your special
occasion is the great success it should be.
- Experience does your DJ know the music and read a crowd.
DJ Equipment
The quality of the mobile disco equipment used by your
DJ will have a huge effect on the party atmosphere. Even
the best music played on a cheap sound system will sound
terrible and people will not dance. You should also check
the mobile disco equipment used by your DJ holds current
PAT certifications and your DJ has PLI. Hiring a DJ without
these is like getting into a mini cab where you know the
driver does not have a MOT or insurance for the vehicle.
Party DJ
A party DJ can make or break your event, so its essential
your DJ takes the job seriously and has a positive attitude
towards your special occasion. Many amateur DJ's invite
their own friends and treat your party as a night out for
themselves. The best way to know how enthusiastically your
DJ will approach your event is to check any DJ reviews they
may have. DJ references should be spread out over a number
of years and cover many types of occasion. Be careful, any
type text displayed in quote marks should be viewed with
suspicion as these may be works of fiction.
Experience DJ Hire
Playing music in the bedroom and working out great mixes
in advance is no substitute for performing at a real party.
Every professional DJ, if being honest will admit to making
lots of mistakes in their early career. A good party DJ
will select music appropriate for the occasion, audience
mix and be able to time the selections to build a party
atmosphere. Its unfortunate but the only way to gain this
valuable experience is to have performed at all kinds of
events over several years. After the event most people would
regret paying a learner DJ to gain this experience.
