Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What kind of music do you play?
- A: The simple answer to this is: whatever you want us to play. Our DJs are experienced enough to know what music is and is not appropriate for your function. Our DJs have specialist knowledge of many different areas: Chart, Dance, RnB, Disco, Pop,60's, 70s, 80s and 90s nights.
- Q: Do you take requests?
- A: We will always play requests, in fact we encourage them. Many of our clients are now sending us their playlists in advance to ensure we play the music they want.
- Q: How long do you need to set up and how much space do you require?
- A: Our DJs will normally be at the venue approximately one hour before the event is due to start, and an area approx. 4m x 2m is ideal. For larger functions more time (and space) may be required.
- Q: What will the DJ wear?
- A: Our dress code is smart casual,(normally all black) however our DJs will wear whatever you request to fit your theme, even fancy dress if required.
- Q: What about Health & Safety - is your equipment tested?
- A: Health & safety is extremely important to us, all our equipment is 'Portable Appliance Tested' (PAT), annually in accordance with the Health & Safety Executive, Electricity at Work Act 1989. A copy of your DJ's current test certificate is available on request.
- Q: My Mum is worried that the music will be too loud and our guests won't be able to hear themselves talk, will that be a problem?
- A: That is a very valid question and we are always sensitive to making sure the volume is set to the correct level for everyone to enjoy the function. Furthermore we will always adjust the volume during the course of the evening, if required.
- Q: We have a wide age group attending. Can you get them all dancing?
- A: We have a wealth of experience within the 'Wedding Industry' and are very used to performing to a wide age range and keeping the dance floor busy by simply changing the musical style constantly throughout the night. That way no one gets bored. We are used to 'reading' a dance floor and will know what to play next and are used to playing music for all age groups.
- Q: How far in advance do I need to book?
- A: The short answer is as soon as possible, to avoid disappointment. However we will endeavour to help at short notice if at all possible.
- Q: What kind of lighting do you use?
- A: We have a selection of coloured lighting effects to create a party ambience at your venue. A smoke or haze machine used sensibly can dramatically enhance the lighting effect on the dancefloor, however please check in advance that your venue allows the use of a smoke/haze machine.
- Q: How should I pay?
- A: We charge a non-refundable £50 deposit at the time of booking. This secures the date you've requested. The remainder is payable at least 3 weeks in advance of your event by cheque or 14 days in advance through online banking.
When you hire a mobile disco with us we can include an optional pre-event meeting where you can tell us your music preferences and how you'd like your event to run.
By meeting your Thunderbolt DJ in advance, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and get to know us.
On the night of your disco, you'll see us set up and know that you don't have to make introductions or requests, as it's already taken care of.
