When should I pay DJs NOW!?
We appreciate payment at the beginning of the function.
Any tips you can provide to ensure my party goes smoothly?
DJs NOW! Birthday Tips
- Don't leave the speeches too late. The crowd often waits till after the speeches are over to get on the dancefloor but best get them underway early in the night.
- Choose music that not only you like but that you think will keep your guests entertained.
- If you are choosing a venue, keep in mind the approximate number of guests. Too small and guests will feel crammed, too large and the party vibe may be lost. We can discuss your requirements and suggest venues.
- Chairs kill a party! Try not to have too many chairs, this encourages socialising and dancefloor action.
