A few useful answers
Wedding DJ questions
Music, coverage, timings and booking. Find the answers here, or ask me directly.
Choosing your music
Can we choose the music?
Yes. Tell me the songs you love, your favourite styles and anything you want left out. I’ll use that brief alongside what works for your guests on the night.
Do we need to write a full playlist?
No. A useful selection of favourites is enough to start the conversation. You can be as involved as you like, and I’ll look after choosing and mixing the rest.
Can guests make requests?
Yes, unless you would prefer otherwise. I’ll judge requests against your preferences and the direction of the evening.
Can we have a ceilidh?
We can discuss a ceilidh as part of the party, including familiar dances such as the Gay Gordons or Strip the Willow. Tell me what you have in mind so we can agree how it fits.
Your day and venue
Which wedding service should we choose?
Evening Reception covers the evening party. Meal to Midnight begins with dinner and speeches. Full Day Coverage includes the ceremony and drinks reception as well. Your timings will help us decide.
Can you cover an outdoor ceremony?
We can discuss suitable sound for an outdoor ceremony. Access, power, weather protection and your venue’s arrangements need confirming before the day.
Do you work alongside live musicians?
Yes. Let me know about any singers, bands or sax players, so we can coordinate performance times and discuss technical requirements in advance.
How late can the party finish?
The core evening services finish by midnight. Later finishes and after-party arrangements can be discussed, subject to the venue and availability.
Where in Scotland do you travel?
I work at wedding venues across Scotland. Your quote will confirm any travel costs, based on the venue and the service required.
Enquiries and planning
Can we meet before booking?
Yes. We can arrange a no-obligation video call to discuss your music and plans. Email works too.
What happens after we book?
We’ll confirm the agreed service and practical arrangements. Ahead of the wedding, we’ll go through the music, key moments and timings together.
Do you have insurance and backup equipment?
Yes. I hold public liability insurance, carry backup equipment and can provide PAT documentation for your venue.
Are photographs included?
No. Photos are not included in your booking. Occasionally, we may take some complimentary photos, but this is not guaranteed. Please book on the understanding that no photos will be provided.
What should we ask before booking?
Ask who will be your DJ, what the quote includes and how music and timings are planned. More questions to help you compare DJs.
Understanding your quote
How do we compare wedding DJ quotes?
Look at the DJ’s work, listen to what couples say and have a conversation about the wedding you want. Ask how they plan the music with you, respond to guests on the night and handle introductions and key moments. Your quote should make the service clear, including planning, sound, lighting and travel. The important question is whether you trust that person to deliver the party you have in mind.
What details do you need to quote?
Your wedding date and exact venue are the starting point. Include the coverage you’re considering, approximate guest numbers and any separate ceremony location or live performers. If you’re unsure about coverage, tell me your timings.
Do we need to choose music before booking?
No. We can discuss the overall party you want before you decide. Detailed music choices and introductions come later in planning.
Can we add earlier coverage or change timings later?
Ask as soon as your plans change. I’ll check what is possible, any extra cost and the venue arrangements, then confirm the agreed change in writing.
Where do we find payment and cancellation details?
Check the terms and your written booking confirmation before paying. They set out the booking payment, balance deadline and conditions that apply to your booking. Ask if anything is unclear.
Not sure where to start?
