djdarrenjewell.com Specialist Bespoke Disco/P.A./Lighting & Dj:
We List All The Equipment You Have Booked On You Contract, So You Will Know What The Disco Will Look Like On Your Day/Night, & What Spec (Big Room/Small Room dB & Lighting).
Most Disco Companies Sell Packages With A "Generic Disco", This Means It Will Have Sound, Lighting, & Anyone That claimed To Dj BUT You Will Not Exactly Know What It Looks Like & Spec It Is Until Its Setup On Your Day/Night? So Couples Book Something They Don't Know What It Will Look Like & If Its A Suitable Specification?
Our Business Is split into two on this webpage:
1. "Premium Services"/Events Disco For Large Ballrooms:
More WOW! To Your Room.
The Full Premium Show completely fills a Ford Transit Custom L1 H1, in sound & lighting only, & is extremely heavy.
Why we have a "premium services" large room/marque specification disco:
Almost all disco companies use low dB stylish looking speakers designed for small rooms, the problem is when people start dancing they block all the sound quality in the rest of your room, so it drives your guests socialising home early (boom-boom-drone-hiss). Our Premium Services are ideal for e.g. The Roman Baths Pump Room/Guildhall Bath, or marquee/club/festival music weddings, as its like a small festival sound & lighting show fit for the poshest ballroom.
All equipment booked is always listed on your djdarrenjewel.com contract e.g. Premium Sound-System.
2. If You Don't Have A Massive Ballroom, Or Marquee.
Small To Medium Size Weddings.
Small To Medium Sized Rooms: "Classic Disco" Is Perfect (it can do larger rooms due to its clear sound-system).
We Also Can Do Small Wedding Package Deals That Won't Break Your Bank E.G. "Fun Package" Classic Disco & Small Cases Photo-Pod 6"x4" Prints.
We are seeing a change in venues for small weddings 50-80 guests as are moving away from "the wedding venues" & there premium wedding packages/sales team, as couples are now finding picturesque pubs in pretty locations so hire them for the reception = Very little cost or no cost to hire the Pub, & far cheaper food & drink prices. Generally they are really nice family weddings as not distracted by "wedding must have sales hype", hence only do what you like & fun for their guests.
Marquee weddings are growing in popularity again, as going back years they have mainly been "rave/festival weddings", but now get family & friends to help eg. bake the cake, make table decor etc. as the bride/groom ask what they want & guests make it for them as a gift for the couple, its an old fashioned thing making a good comeback.
This Is Why djdarrenjewell.com Does Bespoke Packages For Small Family Weddings, from lawn games, photo-pod, to disco.
Below The "Classic Disco" Number: 1
Please Note: If You Have A Small Room The Classic Disco Sound & Lighting Will Be Perfect.
The "Classic Disco" normally comes with a Black Or White Dj booth & the 2 speaker stacks both sides with lighting on top. You can add the mirrorball, Rustic Dj Booth, & uplighting if you want, but this would be listed on your contract as e.g. "djdarrenjewell.com classic disco with added mirrorball, uplights, & Rustic Dj Booth".

Want To See Light Beams Like A Concert/Festival:
Most Venues Do Not Allow Smoke Effects, But We Have 2 Professional Stage/Event Lights That Will Do This Effect.
You need a dark large room, field, or dark walls ceiling, as small rooms with white ceilings/walls will cause the light to bounce back into your room/not beams.
The lights are brighter than direct sunlight so highlight any small dust particles in the air, & must not be used near aircraft.
50W white laser source that delivers an intense 105,000 Lux at 10 meters with a razor-sharp 1° beam angle. IP65.
If You Want This Effect Please Make Sure The "Two 50Watt Laser Powered Moving Heads" Is Listed On You Contract.
This effect is pictured:
The Guild Hall, Bath - Student Night (Black & White Photo - No Smoke effect used).
Avon Gorge Hotel, Bristol - Wedding (Under Bespoke Classic Disco Setups - No Smoke effect used).
Marquee: Sometimes we use some smoke in marquees as Low roof, & the lights are so bright they give bounce-back off the White roof so brightening all the marquee/not the beams.
Some couples do ask us why we use a Dj Booth, & not a podium Dj stand?
Simple: You can see the mixer & Darren is Dj'ing on your night (not playing a "wedding pre-mixed set", But most importantly if any equipment does fail eg. laptop, controller/mixer/mic/headphones/leads/music drives etc. djdarrenjewell.com always carries spares, so they can be quickly changed if anything should fail.
"Extra Services" eg. Photo-Pod, Garden Games etc.
It is cheaper to hire our Extra Services when booked with a Disco, as we do a package deal for you.

The best DJ!
We honestly can’t recommend Darren enough! He was so helpful throughout the booking process and had excellent communication. We loved all the little touches with the photo pod and the guest book was amazing! He played everything we wanted and our guests danced all night long! I would 100% recommend him!

Stress free, top notch service. Booked as our dj, Photo Booth and love letters.
We booked Darren as our dj for Coombe lodge well in advance after being recommended by the venue! This was the perfect option for us, as Darren also had a range of Photo Booths garden games and more than you can create a package out of Meaning we could organise a lot for the day through one supplier! We didn’t opt for the garden games, but had rustic outdoor love letters, a classic disco and Photo Booth! Darren kept in contact before the day, getting final details. We chose a range of 30 songs for Darren to play, he then adapted the music to what was popular on the dancefloor to make sure the guests were always having a good time! He was also flexible with our choice of love letters so we could check the weather a few days before and change to an indoor option if the weather didn’t look as good! The Photo Booth printed took 3 photos each time then printed two copies. I was able to send our wedding logo before the day which Darren added to the Photo Booth photos. He provided a guest book , pens and glue for guests to fill in with the pictures!. We also got online copies of all of the photos taken and a highlight video of the dancefloor!!! The props for the Photo Booth could do with updating, but everyone absolutely loved it! Being able to book so much through one person was really helpful and the service provided was excellent. Lots of pictures on Darren’s instagram of set up etc. too and different options.

Superb wedding DJ
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Darren for our wedding on 22nd December 2025. From the very beginning, he took the time to really understand what we wanted, speaking with both of us and working from the playlist we provided while still adding his own expert touch.
His setup on the day was completely seamless and incredibly quick, which meant everything ran smoothly without any stress. Throughout the evening he kept our guests entertained, happily taking requests while also reading the room perfectly and knowing exactly what to play to keep the atmosphere buzzing.
The dance floor was full, the energy was fantastic, and the music played a huge part in making our day so memorable. We honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

About Dj Darren Jewell.
Darren started Dj'ing in the late 80's & became a full time professional (dj'ing only income in 1998 so grew up in the vinyl & cd format era).
Dj'ing Style: Mixing as a constant medley of music all night.
Preferred equipment to use today is Native Instruments Traktor Stems S4 Controller/Mixer, & 4 separate Stem controllers (one per deck), as mixes via stems all night.
Stems is splitting the original song/track into 4 separate tracks: drums, baseline, melody, and vocals, so if you play them all together its the original track you started with, but by using the separate stems & being to finely control each stems volume & filter them, the Dj can be allot more creatine / live music production-bootlegs, or hide conflicts between tracks when blending far smoother, or make an intro/outro for tracks that lack drive live eg. using just the percussion elements of the track further on to use over the intro, by mixing 3 decks during the transition, obviously this is much harder to do so takes time to master it, as 3 decks mixing at once, & each deck the Dj is controlling 4 different stems/faders/filters, plus the normal things a Dj does with decks/mixer/controller, throw into the equation the Dj never plans what the next song will be at weddings or open format nights as just plays what the client or dance floor/room needs next.
Primarily Darren is a Dance/Trance/Techno/House & Urban/R&B, Hip-Hop, Garage, D&B Dj for decades depending on venue music policies, or target clientele, but has always been able to play & mix all genres including 60's/70's/80's/90's/00-2026+ Pop/Cheese & Commercial music.
Sadly most people stereotype Dj's from when they last saw them play, not what they can fully do eg. if you go to an R&B club & only like Abba & Macarena, obviously that won't get played?, or if your in a "trendy bar" were people are eating, socialising, relaxing, the Dj won't play Mr Brightside to 6 drunk loud people to scream & shout to? (hen or stag party), otherwise the large majority of people socialising & eating leave & won't come back, very few people understand the logic in this?
Weddings are a bit like the above as the couple give Darren a playlist guide of what they want played at Their Wedding, & not get played (we always say to couples if we think there playlist might not be liked by the majority of guests, but the couple always has the final decision on music, not Darren).
Darren has also done warmup Dj'ing for may big artists & music producers over the decades (dance & urban etc.), as does the professional job, then goes home as not the one for "big-up or hype".
