Itinerary
Setup
Setups are usually designed to fit in with the environment and space available. We have various options. If you have something which you specifically need then let us know.
Timings
Your DJ Will be booked to play from the timings agreed and will work with the venue staff to comply with their business
timings.
Numbers
We will require your estimation of final numbers one month prior to the event date, this helps us decide which equipment is suitable for your event.
Music
We are thrilled to collaborate with you in curating the perfect playlist for your event. To streamline this process, we offer a convenient music portal where you can list all your special song requests and preferences.
In our music portal, you'll find an array of options to inspire your playlist, including:
- The top 200 songs of all time
- Top hits from each decade spanning the 1950s to the present
- Most requested wedding songs
These categories cover everything from Bride & Groom Dance songs to Last Dances, ensuring a comprehensive selection. While these suggestions serve as a starting point, feel free to explore and personalize your playlist by browsing through our extensive music collection.
You can contribute to your playlist by categorizing songs as "Must play," "Play if possible," "Dedication," "Play only if requested," or "Do not play," ensuring that every moment is accompanied by music tailored to your taste.
Ensuring that your music choices resonate with your guests is paramount, as they are the life of the dance floor. Our DJs are adept at reading the crowd and are open to playing a diverse range of genres while also accommodating requests throughout the event.
We recommend a balanced mixture of music to cater to everyone's preferences. On the night of the event, we are equipped to handle requests and will filter out any selections that may not align with the overall ambiance.
Please inform us of any other entertainment planned for the event, as this will enable us to coordinate seamlessly and adjust our setup or playlist accordingly. Additionally, if your venue is equipped with a sound limiter, we're happy to assist in determining the optimal volume to ensure an uninterrupted musical experience.
Feel free to reach out to us to schedule a meeting at the venue, where we can assess the sound requirements and address any concerns regarding the sound limiter.
We're committed to creating a memorable musical experience tailored to your vision, and we look forward to collaborating with you to make your event truly special.
Backup Plan
We are often asked, do you have a backup plan!
What happens if my DJ is ill?
We are members of both the Hertfordshire DJ Network and the National Mobile DJ Network.
In the event of a DJ falling ill we'll contact our personal network of contacts first, then reach out to out local network to substitute the DJ with one who is similar in experience and provides similar equipment. We will never substitute with a cheaper or less experienced DJ without consenting you.
What happens if your equipment fails?
All of our equipment is visually checked regularly and tested annually for safety, but that won't stop it from failing at some point.
In the event of equipment failure we have the following redundancy options:
Speakers - We use active speakers, if one set fails we can carry on with the other one.
Lights - We provide multiple lights as standard, if one fails it will not affect the party
DJ Decks - Our main Pioneer playout systems actually connect to multiple laptops at the same time, so we can switch to a different laptop if a laptop fails. We carry two sets of DJ Decks and multiple laptops - in the event of a failure we'll need 5 minutes to swap systems.
Microphone - We carry both wireless and wired microphones.
Cables & Power Adapters - we carry multiple spare cables as replacements.
Magic Mirror - The Magic Mirror is a TV, Touch screen, Camera, Computer & Printer - If the magic mirror completely fails mid event we'll refund the portion of unused time. Given the nature of this service, we'll review the issue and make a call on what to do on the night.
Dry Ice - We only carry one dry ice machine to each event, it's like a big kettle, we'll only know if it fails when we switch it on - if this fails we'll provide a full refund on the service if we cannot have a replacement sent to us in time for the first dance.
Breakdown - Breaking down en-route to an event, being caught in traffic or extremely bad weather is every DJ's nightmare and to date it has never happened to us. With a van full of equipment there's probably very little we can do. We will call the AA, we will call on our network of colleagues to see if someone can help, we will keep you informed.
Where we can't setup early we do leave an extra hour for travelling to compensate for traffic or breakdowns. An early setup is advisable if possible.
Standard Costs (updated Spring 2023)

Customer Testimonials
Paul & sue - Hanbury Manor
We wanted to send our total thanks to both Charlie and Izzy for both the Disco and Magic Mirror they provided for our "post lockdown " wedding on Freedom Monday 19th July. This was our 5th date change in 16 months, and they have been so flexible and understanding and moved with us. They have been a joy to work with and guided us through making some personal choices, and we left the rest to them and it was perfect. We would have no hesitation in recommending them both .... with them at the helm you will have a fantastic event." Paul & Sue

Rachel Lee - House Party
The Magic Mirror went down a storm at my husband's birthday party this weekend! Lots of fun had by all dressing up in so many different props and posing in front of the mirror. Brilliant to be able to write messages on the mirror that come out on the photos as well as add emojis etc. Izzy and Charlie were great, very professional and helpful and tolerant of the six kids who kept trying to hijack the mirror!! And not only were guests able to take home their own photos, we have an album full of fun snaps to treasure and a USB full of photos to share with the guests! Thanks so much - it really added something special to the party :)
Jade & James - Quendon Hall
Amazing! Would highly recommend. Very professional but also with a personal touch. The magic mirror was a huge success with the adults and children. Music was spot on and the LOVE letters was a great finishing touch and an amazing background for photos.
Thank you very much! Xx
Jess & Ryan - Tewinbury Farm
We cant thank you enough for yesterday. It is all we wanted and more.
Gem & Ross - Cruck Barn, Bradwell Abbey
We used Magic Mirror Moments for our Wedding Reception in May. We hired the Magic Mirror, LOVE letters, Charlie as our DJ with our pictures projected on a screen. Charlie and Izzy were amazing! They put us at ease and the evening flowed nicely. Their customer service is amazing and have a high attention to detail, every time our nephew got close to the DJ set up Charlie would warn him what was hot and not to touch it. We cannot thank you both enough for making our evening memorable!
Jade & Craig - Sharnbrook ( in a marquee )
On behalf of myself and my new Husband, we would like to say a huge thank you for making our Wedding Day magical, special and simply perfect. Nothing was too much and you helped in making it the best day of our lives! All of our guests had the perfect day, topped off with love and laughter at the magic mirror, photos with the LOVE letters and a good old boogie on the dance floor. A million thank you’s - The new Mr and Mrs Grieve xxx
Emma & Craig Fanhams Hall
Craig and I would like to say a massive THANK YOU to Charlie and Izzy for giving us the wedding reception of our dreams! We got a great package deal including the DJ, Dance Floor, Dancing on the Clouds, Magic Mirror and Confetti Cannon. I was terrified that the dance floor would be empty but we had nothing to worry about. The dance floor was packed right from the first dance through to the Confetti Cannon at the very end (which everyone loved!). Our guests couldn't get enough of the Magic Mirror and we've had so many guests say how great the evening party was, and it's all thanks to you. I couldn't stop the tears of joy at the end of the day, it was just so perfect. Charlie and Izzy are so lovely, professional and you can totally trust them to throw an amazing party. Thank you for being so great!
Claire Coker
Thank you for making my 40th an amazing and memorable one #topclassdj
Mr & Mrs Anderson - Felix Hotel Cambridge
Charlie came to our wedding last week and helped create an absolutely sensational after party for us by providing a fantastically fun disco. Music is a big part of mine and my 'now husbands' life and so this part of our event was really important to us to get right! Charlie was nothing but wiling to work with us on getting this right, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Charlie is both professional and friendly and we would definitely recommend him in helping you ensure you get what you want out of your big day!

Thank you both again for a truly memorable day!
Sara & Paul Gellard
Charlie played at our wedding reception this weekend in Essex and played music that got literally everyone up on the dance floor and stay there for the rest of the night! It was not just Paul and I who we're impressed with Charlie's preparation, organisation and professionalism...but also our venue staff who commented that Charlie was one of the very best DJs they'd had, and he was a pleasure to deal with. Selecting the music we wanted through the portal was easy in advance and the pre meeting we had with Charlie was so helpful too as he literally thinks of everything! We cannot recommend him highly enough for whatever the occasion. Sara and Paul
Tracy Pez - Outdoor Event Stevenage
We recently hired Charlie to cover an event organised on behalf of a local running club. I was very impressed with the service provided throughout our dealings with Charlie. He took the time to visit the venue prior to the event to check the power supply and positioning for his equipment, and discussed with us our requirements in a helpful and positive manner. Charlie's 'can do' attitude made him a pleasure to work with and meant we were able to focus on the other elements of the event knowing the music was in safe hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Charlie to anybody looking for a DJ for any kind of event. A true professional. Thank you.

Steve Smithson
Went to my friend’s wedding recently at Brockett Hall and Charlie's mobile disco was part of the entertainment. He played some great tunes and kept everyone dancing all night. It was a posh venue and he looked the part in his tux, the sound was just right as sometimes DJ's just blast it out too loud with no thought about sound quality. Recommend :)
Lucy Mitchell
I hired Charlie to play at my daughters hen night there was lots of different age groups and he catered for all of them. all of the girls said they enjoyed the night and that the dj was brilliant I would highly recommend him to anyone and would use him again for any future events thank you Charlie for a fantastic night x

This man can play any kind of music, we asked for the well-known Scottish song Lomond to finish our night off, I was surprised that he had it....not what I expected in an English pub, I still can't believe he had the people doing the conga through a pub, what a great night, well done Charlie !!!!!

Charlie was an amazing DJ at our wedding - he arrived with loads of time to set up and prepare, he played a great mix of tracks and got everyone dancing!

Charlie played at our wedding reception on 27/5/16 and was fantastic! Throughout the booking process he was efficient and helpful and replied to any queries we had very quickly! We couldn't fault him in any way and the lighting was fab and not the typical 'cheesy disco' lights. We would highly recommend Charlie and would like to thank him for getting everyone up dancing!
