Equipment...

Let's face it- anybody can go out and buy or hire DJ equipment and call themselves a DJ.  Unfortunately, not many people have the experience, talent and skills to use those tools effectively in a wedding reception entertainment setting.  Although top quality equipment is critical for reliability and effect, it is the operator who makes the difference.  You wouldn't hire a Builder to build your house based on which brand of hammer he used!

You can be rest assured that I use top of the range equipment this is for 3 reasons:

1. Reliability: As I use my equipment week in week out I need to have confidence that when I arrive at a venue and plug it in that it will work. During the summer months it is not uncommon for me to perform at 3 weddings each week!
2. Presentation: As a bride and groom you will have spend a lot of time ensuring that the room for the evening reception looks just how you want it, what you don’t want is for the DJ to turn up with ‘tacky’ speakers and rusty lights which would spoil all of your hard work!
3. Performance: By purchasing quality equipment I know that my sound system will have great clarity, yet offer plenty of punch when required. My lightshow will also both fill the room with vibrant colors and can be controlled by myself for optimum effect.

All of my equipment is under 3 years old and is PAT (Portable Appliance Tested) on a yearly basis. Certain venues may wish to see a copy of my PAT certificate; this can be arranged by me.

For your peace of mind I carry a back up of all of the essential items that I use such as CD players and thus if for any reason an item wasn’t working I would have a backup unit on-site. Due to the quality of the equipment that I use however I have never had a piece of equipment fail on me yet!

For those of you who are interested in disco equipment I use a Mackie sound system and all of my lighting is produced by EVL and ACME. I also use a Pioneer CD unit.
