BrisCity DJs - Wedding Specialist DJs

We may require at least one 6-foot banquet table, with linens, and adequate power where the DJ will be set up although some DJs like to use their table. If your event will occur in multiple spaces (such as a wedding ceremony in another area) then your DJ will need another table and access to electricity in those areas as well. Talk to your DJ about any additional areas that need sound coverage and they can advise you on exactly what they need to make it happen.

Yes. A face to face meeting forms part of the BrisCity DJs booking process and we encourage this. You may do this before making a booking or around 1-2 weeks before your wedding, is perfect! We are happy to meet and review all the information we’ve been planning with you along with pronunciations of names in your wedding party and any last minute details that may need discussed (when an MC service is provided). We want to make sure we have all the correct information and that it’s fresh in our DJs minds the week of the wedding. If you are happy with communication via email and phone in regards your planning then a meeting may not be required.

We very much wish for you to choose your own music. This allows us to create a personal musical experience that is unique to your event. The limit of music we can play is about 16-20 songs per hour. You do have choice in how you wish to approach this. You can create your own music list from start to finish, provide a music brief with a short playlist or let us know the vibe you’re looking for and the DJ can create the playlist for the night. We feel it is important that you have a say in the music that is played at your event. 

You are welcome to supply us with a list of “do not play” songs to inform us of music that you feel is inappropriate or of a style you don’t like. These may be songs that are significant in a lot of ways. The “do not play” list is as important to us as your definitely play selection because it gives us a deeper insight into your vision for your event.

Yes. If you allow us to take requests, we will take requests. It is certainly our preference to do so as then we can tailor the music to the needs of your guests and thus create a more memorable event for you, although we will always be guided by you. We will not play any songs that stray in to the genres of music that we know you don’t like based on your do not play list.

At least 2 weeks prior or earlier is best, which allows the DJ to source and prepare all the songs on the list ready for you. This will allow the DJ to make sure that your playlist is ready well before the event date. It also means that any last minute changes or questions can be clarifed.

Yes. The booking time quoted is for actual performance time. We typically set up one hour prior to performance time, and pack up begins after our allocated performance time is complete. There may time allocated during the set for DJ to have a meal and speeches but they will be playing for the time that has been booked. 

We are happy for our DJs to play overtime as long as the venue is happy to stay open. We do ask that you let us know if overtime is a possibility so that we can book your DJ in with the understanding that they may need to work later than planned and also so they can plan their playlist accordingly. The overtime charge is $300 per hour and this will need to be paid in cash directly to the DJ. It will always be at the DJs discretion and most of the time they will be more than happy to do so. 

Yes. You have the full use our microphone for the duration of the event. Even if the venue has their own microphone, we will always have ours available as a backup as part of our standard policy.

Every DJ has a slightly different setup and we are happy for you to chat to your allocated DJ if you have any further questions regarding their equipment. Most systems consist of 2 speakers and stands, a DJ deck/controller/laptop and lighting (2 laser lights plus 4 tube lights) which presents a very neat and effective picture to your guests.

Yes. Just let us know the details and what you need for us to assist and we can liaise with you and the celebrant to perform at your ceremony. We are happy to discuss the timeframe and proximity to the reception site to make sure everything is co-ordinated efficiently.

Please call or send us an email so that we can make contact with you. We believe that every event is unique, so with a call or email we can get a better understanding of your overall vision for your party, corporate event, wedding day or special event and offer a customised entertainment solution. Our company policy is to get back to you within 48 hours or earlier.

A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to lock in your selected date. With the remainder to be paid at least 2 weeks before your event. Once we receive your deposit we will send you a receipt as confirmation. You may also choose to pay the whole amount before that date to complete your booking.

Our dates are assigned on a first come, first served basis. It’s the only way to be fair to the large number of wedding clients that are interested in booking our services. Once you decide you’d like to book us, you will need to pay a deposit and we will send you a receipt. Once the deposit has been paid, we will send you an information form to fill out and return to us to confirm your booking.

Bank transfer is our preferred method of payment unless otherwise discussed with our booking consultant. Unfortunately, we do not accept credit card payments. You may wish to discuss alternative payment methods when you make contact with one of our consultants. 

Because we have to turn away many potential clients each year due to us being completely booked, we require a non-refundable deposit of 50% to secure the date for your event. In the event you have to cancel within 30 days of your event, we have to bill you for the deposit amount because we could have freed up the date for another client. We rarely have this happen.

Our DJ’s can make basic MC announcements as required by you but we do not provide a full MC service. If you prefer to find someone within your circle of friends and family, we can assist them throughout the night to ensure the night progresses as smoothly as possible. We can discuss payment for this service upon inquiry.

If for any reason we cannot locate some of your song choices, you may bring your own copy of the song/s, as long as they are on a USB. Please check with your allocated DJ prior to the event, to make sure the correct format of music is used for his system. Alternatively, it would be best to send copies of these songs to us at least 2 weeks prior to the event so that the DJ has the correct copy of specific songs you want. On occasions,there may be culturally significant music which most DJs do not know or have access to. It is at these times when it would be appropriate for clients to supply the DJ with their music. 

Our DJs dress based on the expectation of playing at a wedding and therefore they would wear smart formal attire unless otherwise directed to do so.

All of our DJs are professionally trained in both DJ entertainment and public speaking/MC duties. Our wedding DJs have been fully trained in the formalities and responsibilities associated with wedding entertainment and have been providing entertainment for multiple years. We regularly conduct further training and work to achieve the highest standards of entertainment available. We also have a list of standards and procedures that every DJ meets to ensure everything runs smoothly and you can relax knowing we will do our job well.

It is standard at wedding events to provide the DJ with a main meal. This is because the DJ does not take breaks and has no chance to leave for a meal. With setup, pack up and travel, the DJ often works over 8 hours straight. Our DJs are always very appreciative of a meal being provided for them and therefore are able to ensure the best service is given to each client.

Your special day is a once in a lifetime experience for you and your guests and when we say that we will stand beside you on the day, come what may, we mean it. If we’re slightly sick then we just do what we need to and push through so that we don’t disrupt the event. When serious illness or accident strikes, we will have a DJ back up plan in place ready with equipment who we can brief and instantly dispatch to make sure your event runs smoothly.

From the moment you get in touch we offer a service that is dedicated to helping you create your ultimate wedding event with the minimum of fuss. We want you to feel at ease that you have hired true entertainment professionals so you can focus solely on having a great time!. Nothing satisfies us more than walking away from your wedding event knowing that you and your friends and family had the night of your lives.
