Party DJ FAQ

Birthdays, Anniversaries & Parties: your questions

• What kinds of parties do you DJ?

  Milestone birthdays from 18th to 100th, wedding anniversaries, retro and decades nights, Christmas and work parties, engagement parties, reunions and family get-togethers.

  Tim builds the music around your guests' ages and favourite decades.

• How long does a party booking last?

  Most birthday and anniversary packages run for 5 hours, which suits a typical evening party.

  If you'd like longer, extra hours can be added before the day through your client portal.

• Do you need access to the venue before the party?

  Yes.

  Tim normally arrives at least two hours before the start time to set up and do a sound check. Please check your venue can open up for him then, and let him know about any access or parking details.

  Yes, of course!
