Auckand DJ Hire Djs are comprised of seasoned performers who have an enormous amount of DJ entertainment experience in the Entertainment Hospitality Industry . Relative to the amount of events and functions at which we perform every year, our staff is rather small. This is by design; having fewer DJs allows us to keep the quality of our performances very high. And because we don't have a lot of DJs, each one is constantly performing, which keeps their skills sharp at all times.
One of the most important services we offer, which is part of every tolaired entertainment package, is the assistance of our coordination staff. We'll help you carefully plan every detail and work along side with the venue, your event planner etc.to make sure your event is perfect!
We generally begin booking wedding dates anywhere from two to eighteen months in advance. Since we can only perform at a limited amount of receptions per weekend, we strongly recommend that you contact us as soon as possible to check on the availability status of your date. By the same token, if for some reason you find yourself in a situation where you need a DJ last-minute, please call us. We'll make every possible effort to help you.
To secure all bookings we take a 25% non-refundable deposit.
The remaining 75% is due the day prior to the function/event. We will issue an invoice at least seven days prior to the due date.
Unfortunately not. We respect each of our clients’ privacy and it would be unprofessional to invite people to someone else’s event whom they don’t know.
Absolutely. Please let us know prior to the day if you require any MC duties to be provided so we can prepare as much as possible.
Ideally these would be received at least a week prior to the function/event so we can ensure we are prepared and have your music requirements and everything we need.
We often provide the ceremony music, and that’s one of the reasons our sound systems are so compact; if you’re having the ceremony in a separate area, it takes only minutes to move them from one place to another. And processionals, recessionals and other classical pieces sound heavenly through our systems.
If you book us for your event we’ll stay for as long as you’d like for a minimal fee.

That’s no problem at all. We often play in facilities in which we have to move the sound system to several different locations during the course of the evening. That’s one of the reasons that our sound systems have been designed to be light and portable.
Beyond what you see on the playlist, we have a master music library that contains well over 40,000 songs. So, if you don’t see a particular selection, there’s a good chance that it’s in our library. Or, if you'd like us to use music from your own collection, we can do that but 99% of the time we will have your song.
We often perform at weddings where specific types of ethnic music are requested. If there are specific songs you'd like to hear that we don’t have, we’ll gladly get that music to you (as long as it's still available). Or, if you have the music, we can work with your collection.
We'll strongly encourage you to give us a "don't play" list of music, and your DJ will absolutely abide by it. You won't hear any unwelcome surprises at your reception.
That's completely up to you. If it's okay, we'll play whatever your guests want to hear. If, however, you'd prefer that your DJ not take requests, that's also fine.
We're very conscious of the fact that no one wants to listen to music at an uncomfortably high volume, and that people have different sensitivity levels. That's why we'll constantly monitor the sound intensity throughout the course of your reception. Our dynamic sound systems allow us to create an environment that's conducive to both dancing and socialising.
Depending on the reception venues rules and procedures we setup during the day before any of your guest arrive. The last thing we want is to be lunging gear through your guests and speeches as this is a no no!

We will never drink or smoke while entertaining. We are professionals and carry ourselves as such.
At no extra cost, on request we can provide you with one of our top quality cordless microphones to use for your speeches.
That’s your choice. Customarily clients do provide a meal for their DJ.
Absolutely not. We’ll be at your reception to entertain, not to advertise.
