Don't Just Take Our Word For It

"Tim came to our rescue at our wedding reception when the DJ we originally hired didn't show up. Once he arrived he set up as quick as he could and got straight to work. He gave some great entertainment and was really good with the children, going above and beyond his job to help everyone have a good time. Would 100% recommend his service and we will definitely be using his service again. Thanks Tim — we had a great night."

"Tim (Mobile Disco Network) rescued Great Melton Cricket Club on Saturday when our 'booked' disco failed to arrive. He was excellent when he rushed from North of Kings Lynn to Bawburgh at the last minute. He set up quickly, gauged his audience well, played great tunes, and the dance floor was full all night. Recommended!"

"We had booked a very last minute wedding and Tim, although a long distance away from us, gave super advice and support to organise a last minute disco. Top bloke!"

From Tim

A word from Tim Daymond

If your DJ has let you down, ring me on 07796 565918 before you do anything else. I answer my own phone. First, I'll work out whether I can actually reach you in time, because travel distance is the real limit. Once we've agreed it can work, book and pay online straight away, as the system can't hold a date. The standby disco is the same insured, PAT-tested kit I take to every planned booking. And it's me who turns up, not someone from an agency list.

DJ since 1976. Running Mobile Disco Network since 2013. Norfolk County Council Trading Standards Trusted Trader. NADJ member.

Questions About Emergency DJ Hire

See what other clients have said in our full reviews.

What counts as an emergency or last-minute DJ booking?

It's for anyone who needs DJ cover at short notice. Maybe your booked entertainment has let you down, cancelled, or didn't turn up. There might have been an equipment failure. Or your plans have changed and you need a party or wedding disco sorted quickly, often on the day itself.

Does travel distance affect whether an emergency booking can be covered?

Yes. Emergency availability depends on how far Tim needs to travel from his base near Spalding. Call or WhatsApp him directly on 07796 565918 before booking. That matters most if your venue is further afield, so he can confirm he'll reach you in time.

Should I call before I book online?

Yes — call Tim directly on 07796 565918 first to discuss your booking and confirm he can cover it. Once that's confirmed, use the automated online booking system to pay the booking fee and secure your slot.
