16 Most Frequent Questions we are asked
by you before booking us
"Are
you any good?"
We have been supplying mobile discos for private parties for the last
30 years. If we were not good at what we do we would not have lasted
this long. Along with this our parent business, Oasis Sound & Lighting,
we have been supplying audio and lighting equipment to the trade for
the same length of time.
"Why
choose us?"
With so many things on your mind when arranging your Party/Wedding
we really do appreciate how difficult it is to make all the right
choices when it comes to supplier. We also realize that with a Wedding
a disco it can easily become the last on your list of choices, after
all the evenings entertainment is the last item on the big day itself,
but can be the 'icing on your cake' of your special day and have your
guests talking about the disco you choose for months to come.
"What
do I get for my money?"
With the price of organizing a Party/Wedding getting higher every
year it is important to budget for all aspects of your event, but
remember , when it comes to booking a disco it really is a matter
of " you get what you pay for". You don't want some untidy
guy and his girlfriend turning up with a couple flashing beacon lights
and a sound system that is inadequate and hurts your ears when its
playing in a packed venue. Most people who operate like this don't
have the relevant Public Liability Insurance or their equipment PAT
tested for safety. when looking for quotes don't think the cheapest
quote you get, will be the same standard as the higher quotes , it
won't. The fees charged reflects many things such as the quality of
the DJ, equipment , Sound quality , Range of music and experience
of the DJ.
We
pride ourselves on our service, quality and reliability.

a pride in their work and appearance. No scruffy tee shirts and jeans
here. As for the company we stand on our reputation for service to
you the Customer. Details of our our Insurance are always available

there a light show?"

consist of scanners and moving light effects where possible. Other
special effects such as Lazers, Smoke machines etc., can be discussed
when you are booking, Subject to venue restrictions.
"Can
I choose what music is played?"
Yes, every customer has the right to choose what type of music genre
they would like played. That all important tune for that First Dance
at a Wedding is very important to the Bride and Groom. When choosing
general tracks to be played for the rest of the evening, please remember
that whilst some tracks are fantastic to listen to, sometimes they
do not transfer well to the dance floor. The DJ is there to give your
Guest's a good time on the dance floor with the appropriate music.
