Before you enquire
Your Shropshire DJ questions, answered.
How much does DJ hire in Shropshire cost?
Wedding packages start at £395, birthday packages at £295 and corporate packages at £595. These are guide prices. Playing times, venue, travel and extras determine your written quote.
How do we secure our date?
Booking is confirmed after written acceptance by both of us and receipt of the required payment. The usual booking payment is 50%; the balance is due 28 days before the event, unless your Booking Summary differs.
Do you travel, and what does it cost?
Yes. Send your venue and postcode. Travel and any agreed expenses are shown in your quote before you accept or pay. There is no automatic mileage charge calculated by this page.
Can we request songs and a Do Not Play list?
Yes. Plan favourites, genres and songs to avoid with me. After booking confirmation, I send your music-planning portal link so you can save ideas and send the completed plan.
When should we finalise our music?
By the planning deadline we agree for your event. Tell me early about rare tracks, particular versions or special edits so there is time to prepare.
Can you play outdoors?
With a level, dry, properly sheltered setup area and safe power. We agree weather protection and a suitable alternative in advance. Unsafe conditions can mean moving or stopping the performance.
Can we add extra hours?
Subject to my availability, venue permission and curfew. The additional time and fee must be agreed before the extra performance begins.
Is setup included in the playing time?
Setup and pack-down are included outside your agreed performance time. Arrival and access are planned with your venue; restricted or delayed access can affect the schedule.
What equipment and backup provision do you offer?
The sound, lighting and booth match your agreed package and venue. Discuss any particular technical or backup requirements before booking so the provision can be confirmed in writing.
Can you make announcements or act as MC?
Tell me about introductions, speeches and timeline cues. The scope is agreed in your quote. Fuller hosting or a dedicated MC is discussed separately, rather than automatically included in every package.
What space and power are needed?
A safe, level setup area, suitable mains power nearby and practical loading access. Exact requirements depend on your setup. Flag stairs, sound limiters, curfews and room changes.
What if we cancel or need to reschedule?
Your agreement explains cancellation charges based on fair, proportionate net losses; the booking payment is not automatically forfeited. I’ll try to transfer to an available date, with genuine extra costs agreed.
Are you insured and is the equipment safety-tested?
Yes: £5 million public liability cover and electrical safety-test records. Insurance, PAT and risk-assessment documents can be supplied privately to your venue.
Do we need a venue or package before enquiring?
No. Send your date, likely town and approximate guests. Enter “Not confirmed yet” for undecided venue or times. I’ll help you choose. An enquiry does not reserve your date.
