wedding and party DJ Worsley
Professionally equipped for the job
The use of high end professional equipment certainly gives piece of mind in relation to reliability. However, it’s not just about reliable equipment, high end equipment makes a massive difference to the sound quality and aesthetics of the DJ’s setup. Looking good and sound good is vital for the success of any party or celebration. For extra piece of mind, I also carry backup equipment for absolutely everything, Even though I have never had any of my equipment fail, I have a plan B for every eventuality.

Party Music selection
I’m always very happy to play request, many of my clients email me a list of songs, but ultimately your guests are best judge on the night. Although I'm extremely skilled at knowing what and when to play particular tunes to get the party rocking, it's always the audience that know best what they want to get down to on the dance floor. I can switch to any style, any decade, any genre and I always play request. I have a vast music selection to accommodate all musical taste!

Is it necessary for a DJ to be able to mix?
|
you may very well wonder if it’s completely necessary for your DJ able to mix dance or RnB tunes or indeed you may not have even gave this subject much thought? My personal answer to this question would be to picture this scene, the dance floor is rocking. Now lets imagine this part of the night from the party peoples prospective, a group of friends ask for a few songs, as they return to the dance floor, the DJ has found their requested tracks, cued the first one up, and starts to mix it into the tune that's already playing. Now it’s very often the case that certain songs are special to groups of friends and as soon as they hear them, something special happens, I know this from experience. As you start to mix in the requested songs, watch the atmosphere become electric, fun and energised. To steel a catch phrase from a well known super market, every little helps! That moment the atmosphere became electric is a moment that people will really remember and talk about in the days that follow and concrete a special memory forever. On the flip side, it’s also vital to have a DJ that is just as happy playing all other genres that don’t require mixing skills, for example indie music or golden oldies, in other words, don’t book a specialist house music DJ that can not cater for all other styles of music, the ability to mix is just a bonus. If your event has various ages groups, ages and different music tastes, it’s essential you book a DJ that can keep everyone happy, remember to consider your guests. A good life is made of good memories

Looking for a Wedding and Party venue or function room in Worsley?
Are you looking to book a wedding venue or function room for your event? Well, I have some advice for your consideration.
having spent many years of being a wedding and party DJ in Manchester, and working at most of Manchester’s different venues, I have developed a fantastic sense of what can only be described as ‘venue feng shui’ From a clients prospective some venues have a striking visual aesthetics which certainly contributes towards the overall feel and the decision to actually booking the venue. However, there are other aspects of a venue that can only be gained by the wisdom, insight and experience from playing at so many venues. Acoustics, room layout and sound limiters are three important considerations that probably wouldn’t even cross the clients mind when viewing venues, but these important considerations can help make or even quash the evening celebrations and party atmosphere.
Room layout:
The ideal room layout would contain all the guest in one main space as opposed to a few separate rooms. It’s very difficult for DJ’s to create a party atmosphere when guest are distributed between two or more rooms. In order for a DJ to know they are playing right kind of music and build a rapport with the audience, it’s essential the DJ can see most of the audience. (Awkward shaped rooms can sometimes be a challenge, but this can be overcome by adding extra wireless speakers)
Acoustics:
The acoustics are extremely important, sound bouncing and echoing around a room most certainly is not pleasant experience for your guest. As the Tesco catch phrase states, every little helps, and good acoustics means an enjoyable musical experience for everyone. Bad acoustics can also make it difficult to gain guests full attention when making important announcements, for example, the announcement of the first dance at a wedding or guests not being able to hear clearly when the speeches are in progress. It can be difficult to decipher what room has good acoustics without actually testing it with a PA system, but as a rule of thumb, if it’s a large hall, stone walls, or very high ceiling and not much soft furnishing, the chances are the room may suffer from bad acoustics. However, some of these issues can be improved slightly by distributing extra speakers around the venue.
sound limiters!
These pesky nuisances are often installed where venues have residential neighbours. Some venues have them set extremely low and as people absorb sound, the more guest you have, the quieter the music will sound. Most venues will not be forth coming in volunteering the fact that they have a sound limiter installed. It’s always a good idea to ask the venues co-ordinator if they have one before making your decision to book. For those who are not sure what a sound limiter does……if the volume goes beyond the set limit, the mains power is cut to the DJ or band!
I hope the above is helpful, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best wishes
