Why would I book yourBIGevent for my function ?

We feel that we offer our clients value for money especially when compared to other entertainment and pro-function services.

For example:

• A top band that plays 2x 45minute sets may charge anything from £1,500 to £6,000+. That leaves you 3 hours plus to ‘fill’
• Tribute bands, depending on status, can charge from £2000 to £10000+ per function. Again not many will perform for 5 hours !
• To secure the services of a professional Toastmaster for a Wedding will be in the region of £350+ (average 3 hours)
• Professional Magicians can charge anything from £200+ for a 2 hour bespoke presentation.
• The professional audio and lighting equipment Your Big Event use represents an investment of over £15,000, excluding music, to enable us to provide the right service for each individual function.
  To hire the standard of equipment that Your Big Event Entertainments use would cost from £250 to £900 for function entertainment.
• Based on our All day service to entertain 200 of your guests would equate to £2.00 per head. To break this down further, over 5 hours, the actual cost per head is 0.40p per hour. Is this expensive for professional entertainment?

At this point, we would like to dispel the myth that all Mobile DJs just stand and play records / CDs., standing behind some ‘flashing boxes’. All equipment is computer controlled, with lighting effects, sorry no ‘flashing boxes’

Booking yourBIGevent for your Wedding

Although we pride ourselves on being able to offer our clients complete flexibility as to their own requirements, we do sometimes get asked to provide a sample playlist, or to give advice as to the running order of a typical Wedding Reception. We are always happy to offer free advice where we can, and this guide covers some of the more popular questions which we are often asked prior to booking.

Please remember that all functions are different and therefore this information is given purely as a guide only. We do carry thousands of musical tracks spanning the last five decades and so the music played can be as varied as the tastes of each individual who is attending!.

All audiences are different, and a lot of what we play will depend on 'reading' the audience and watching the reaction on the dance floor, no DJ, however experienced, can predict an exact playlist in advance of your own function since musical taste is as individual to each person as their taste in food, drink, fashion etc. The ‘reading’ of your guests only comes with experience, so be sure to ask your DJ how long has he been DJing !

It is tradition at Wedding Receptions, for the Bride and Groom to have the first dance, and this usually signals the start of the actual disco. If you have invited Evening Guests, who may not have attended the actual Wedding Ceremony, then it is often advisable to leave the first dance until the majority of the guests have arrived, and suitable background music is played during this period.

The Bride and Groom also choose the first track, and sometimes a second track as well. The second track is usually played and dedicated to the Bride and her Father, or for the happy couple to invite their friends and relatives to join them on the dance floor. This second track is not obligatory, but can be included if required.
We always invite all of our clients to provide a playlist, ahead of the function detailing any special requests which we will try and include during the course of the evening. We do ask that this request list is kept to approximately ten tracks, to ensure continuity and for us to incorporate the requests of your guests.

At Weddings, or indeed any function with a mixed aged audience we usually try and avoid anything too specialised, or Genre's such as Heavy Metal, Rap, Trance and non commercial Dance Music unless specifically requested by the client ( where they believe that it would be appreciated by their guests). Of course, we do tailor the music to the age range of the audience, and so if you do have an audience consisting of mainly younger guests then the playlist will be tailored accordingly, and exactly the same for older age groups too.
