When you hire a mobile disco with us, you are not simply just hiring a DJ, with a good set up… you are hiring a professional DJ with an arsenal of great equipment at his finger tips. With such a range of equipment not only offers safety in the form of back up equipment it also offers flexibility for your Wedding Disco, Party Entertainment or DJ Hire.

Lighting plays a very big part in setting the mood – as you can imagine a nice soft white moving slowly verses the full on flashing strobe creates a very different atmosphere, which both have their places. We understand that when you hire a DJ for a wedding, your first dancing you anticipate being a special moment where you can enjoy with your loved one and don’t expect to be blinded by flashing lights, laser beams or covered with smoke. Similarly we also reaslise that when you hire a Prom DJ or Party DJ you actually might quite like the smoke, laser, flashing lights and thumping sounds. In either situation we have the ability to match the lighting to the mood you want.

Additional extra like up lighting can really transform a room, one example that can be seen is the transformation of a scout hut styled town hall into a professional looking wedding venue. Up lighting is certainly one of the greatest compliments you can add to a colour theme, as pretty much any colour or combination of colours can be made with up lighting… and then once the party kicks off we can then start to make the lighting change colours, flash and dance to the music.

This something to consider when planning your event, all the little extras that make your event just that extra special… why not check out our extra page to see what we can offer your event.

Organize Thoroughly
Prom must be organized as thoroughly and as orderly as possible. Four months is a reasonable time that you or your student committee should look to get everything ready and prepped up appropriately. Among the most important components that make up a Proms are the limos, the entrance, the music and the DJ. The organizational period usually entails a lot of work, as there are a lot of things to cover. Nonetheless, when handled properly, it will turn out to be a well-planned and well-organized occasion that you can remember for a lifetime!

Prom DJ and Entertainment
Finding the right entertainment can be a real tricky task and can make or break your Prom! It is very often to want to go for the cheapest DJ but this usually means you will end up with a DJ who could probably be as old as your grandad, with a pop-belly and enjoy playing the Macarena. We at Party Events Unlimited, offer young fresh club DJs with sound set ups and light systems to match the desired all out blast effect. As for music selection we even offer an online music playlist that not only you, but also your class mates can also add to! So you can be sure you won’t be hearing your Abba or Stevie Wonder (unless thats your thing?).

Layout
The layout of the prom is very important because it sets the mood and the atmosphere for the entire event. The entrance and the overall appearance should be decorated and designed professionally to evoke different feelings and emotions. This substantially gives the prom a completely magical and exceptional ambiance. Ideas such as Ballons, Flowers, Photo Projectors or LED uplighting can all make a big impression for a very reasonable fee.

Transportation
Nowadays, limo services are essential for proms. Limo services allow for an grand entrance and also a mass transportation in which groups can come together and interact as they all get to the event. Some other really crazy ideas are firetrucks, sports cars, party buses, hummers, motorbikes, or even helicopters!

Photography
Prom is an occasion that will last for the rest of our lives. It’s a smart idea to hire professional photographers to cover the whole event so that the outcome will look very professional and magnificent. After all, these photos will be your remembrance to this once in a lifetime event, you certainly don’t want that picture with your eyes half shut and half a finger covering the lense.

Supervision
It is always a good idea to have  supervision to look over the whole event. Essentially, the prom can be a very busy event. Organizers and supervisors should be present on the day itself in order to carefully arrange everything and make sure all the components fit together. Moreover, supervisors will also make sure that the prom is secure as a lot of unsuspecting individuals take this event as an opportunity to be rowdy and restless. Likewise, they will also be the one to enforce the dress code. All in all, a good supervision crew will allow the prom to flow smoothly and accordingly. Best of all, why not consider using your teachers as inside supervisors, they can always add fun to your event!

So ensure as you can tell there is a lot of planning and preperation for your big special Prom day, and we hope we have highlighted the reasons why you should choose your Prom DJ carefully, after all you certainly don’t want a Peter Kay style DJ ruining your last night together. So why not have a look through our gallery at some of the proms and functions we have done, to see if we fit the standard to what your after… To be honest, if you can think it – we can make it happen!

It is important to remember that they’re a few types of DJ; Radio DJs, Club and Bar DJs, and mobile DJs. This page is referring to mobile DJs; The typical mobile DJ provides their own sound and lighting equipment together with music and often a charismatic host to entertain guests at weddings, birthdays, school prom, parties and all types of other events.

Spending the extra time doing your research into your DJ can help protect yourself from the cowboy DJ also known to many as £60 Sid… Sid is the DJ who is happy to perform for a night for £60, but of course we all know that a £60 mobile disco cannot be any where near the high quality standards of a mobile DJ that charges in the hundreds, after all you get what you pay for.

There are a few basic things that you should bear in mind when booking that the wedding entertainment, 18th birthday DJ or School Prom mobile nightclub Disco, that will ensure you not only you get a DJ that won’t cancel on you 2 days before the event (like Sid), but one that will in fact spend time with you planning your function and making sure your night is a special night for everyone to remember!

To start with Public Liability Insurance, or PLI, is an insurance policy which you should expect your DJ to have. This policy not only covers the DJ for any damages to the venue but also protects your guests if somehow there is an accident with equipment. In many cases these days a lot of function rooms require to see a copy of your DJs certificate, so don’t be afraid to ask about this and maybe do a quick check on the company it’s provided by, just to be extra safe (Our PLI can be seen here).

Electrical testing is one that goes along side with PLI, as most PLIs require equipment to be tested in order to validate the policy. This official test is called Portable Appliance Testing, or PAT testing for short. PAT testing ensures that the electrical equipment being used by your DJ meets a set of safety standards, leaving no room for mishaps. It is also perfectly acceptable to ask for a copy of this from your DJ, ours can be seen here.

Did you know that there any organisations and associations that represent DJs and mobile discos? One example of such a body is SEDA (South-east England DJ Associate), this is an organisation which we belong to. There are certain standards which members must comply with in order to join, all of which should help give you peace of mind knowing that the entertainer upholds a high level of professionalism. To have a look at SEDAs code of conduct click here.

To briefly summarise there are a few things which you should asking your DJ about;

• Public Liability insurance (PLI)
• Electrical Safety Testing (PAT)
• Any associations or bodies they belong to

Doing these few checks should hopefully help you in choosing the mobile disco DJ for your special event.
