FAQ

  • I DJ weddings, corporate events, private parties and hospitality venues across Greater Manchester and beyond. Every booking is approached differently, with the music shaped around the event, the audience and the atmosphere you want to create.

  • My roots are in R&B, soul, disco and house, but every event is different.

    We'll talk about the music you love, anything you'd rather avoid, and the atmosphere you want to create.

    I'll use that as the starting point, while reading the room and adapting as the event unfolds, creating a soundtrack that feels personal to you, while bringing your guests together.

  • Absolutely. Your tastes set the direction.

    Before the event, we’ll discuss the music you love, the songs or styles you would rather avoid and any important tracks you want included. I then use that information alongside my experience and room-reading to shape the set as the event unfolds.

  • Yes, provided they suit the event and fit the direction we have agreed.

    I’m always happy to hear what guests want, but I use my judgment rather than automatically playing every request. The overall flow and atmosphere of the event always come first.

  • No. I prepare carefully, but I do not arrive with a fixed running order.

    Every set is mixed live and adapted to the audience, energy and timing of the event. Preparation gives me direction, while experience allows me to respond naturally in the moment.

  • Yes. My full-day wedding service can include ceremony music, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and the evening reception.

    The exact setup and timings will be agreed in advance so the music feels consistent throughout the day.

  • Yes. I can provide a professional sound system, wireless microphone and tasteful dancefloor lighting where required.

    For venues or corporate events with their own production, I can also work with the equipment and technical team already in place.

  • This depends on the event and equipment required, but I will confirm the setup requirements with you or the venue beforehand.

    For most evening events, I need a safe, level performance area, nearby power and enough room for the DJ booth and sound system.

  • I’m based in Greater Manchester and available across Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, West Yorkshire and beyond.

    Travel within the included area will be confirmed in your quote. Events further afield are welcome and will be priced according to the location, timings and any additional travel requirements.

  • Popular Saturdays and peak wedding dates can book well in advance, so it is worth enquiring as soon as you have your venue and date confirmed.

    Short-notice bookings may still be possible depending on availability.

  • Start by sending me your date, venue, event type and approximate timings.

    If I’m available, we can arrange a conversation to discuss your plans. You’ll then receive a clear quote and booking details. Your date is secured once the booking agreement and deposit have been completed.

  • No. Your quote will clearly explain what is included before you book.

    If anything changes later, such as the timings, location or production requirements, any difference in cost will be discussed and agreed with you first.

  • Small changes can usually be accommodated.

    Let me know as early as possible and I’ll work with you, the venue or event organiser to adjust the plan. Significant extensions or major changes may affect the final price, but nothing will be added without agreement.

  • Yes. I hold public liability insurance and use professionally maintained equipment.

    Certificates can be provided to venues or event organisers on request.

  • Yes. A wireless microphone can be provided for speeches and announcements.

    I’m comfortable making clear, professional announcements where needed, but I’m not an over-the-top or constantly talking DJ.

  • Yes. I’m happy to coordinate directly with venues, wedding planners, event organisers and production teams.

    I can follow schedules, prepare walk-on or awards music and make sure the DJ setup fits smoothly into the wider event plan.
