We Also Have More Fun Things Available To Hire!
The disco is your primary entertainment as it entertains more people for the longest time compared to all other entertainments, that's why we morally price extra services when you book our disco or best-sound/lighting show.
We charge the same amount for our extra services every day of the week as they don't cost more to run on different days of the week eg. the special card photo roll/ink ribbon for our Photo-Pod doesn't cost us more to buy on a Saturday?
No point buying a package deal with mood-uplighting, or inside-outside/ceremony speakers if your venue already has them?
This Is Why We Don't Do Package Deals Because Every Couple Is Different, And All Venues Have Different Requirements.
After having a chat with us on the phone we then contact your venue, this is only to ensure you don't waste your money.

Vintage Victoria Grandmother Clock Photo-Pod, All Generations Enjoy.
Perfect for weddings, Parties & Corporate Events. Doesn't Require Much Room & FUN To Use!
The Photo-Pod is open an hour before your disco starts & closes when the disco finishes/or prints used.
Being super reliable it does not need an operator as self service, just touch the screen & look at the Blue camera light when it takes your picture/screen countdown reaches 1 & below, after your prints are printed they come out of the shoot & drop into the wooden box for you to collect (should take around 30-60 seconds for both high quality prints).
Your beautiful room/venue is the backdrop in all the photos/prints so you remember where you were.
We Wanted Exactly The Same Quality Or Better Results As Normal Events Photo-Booth/Pod/Mirrors,
But At Polaroid Camera Prices.
The photo-pod opens after your wedding breakfast so everyone can use it while the disco is setting up,
closes when the disco finishes or prints used - normally photo-booths finish/close when people start use them?
We Want Your Guestbook Full Of Prints/Memories!
Booked with our disco 6pm-midnight: Fri/Sat: From £165.00 up to 200 prints, or From £195.00 up to 400 prints.

blow up props & props on sticks (people always have the same amount of fun with any style of props/luxury or sticks).
The full camera roll that makes up the prints will be emailed to you the day after your booking (USB sticks can go missing).
Our Photo-Pod was designed to be used that's why it doesn't need to close during your night (media/paper change).
Your guests will first be curious what Victoria does?, then use her, see the high quality prints & adore her!
Victoria gets used more than the normal events Photo-Pods/Booths/Mirrors etc.
You will find older people that don't normally use photo-booths use our photo-pod first, as it appeals to all generations.
Victoria was Ally's nana's grandmother clock so we had it repurposed & now is full of modern technology,
she cost more than a new industry events photo-pod convert but her results are truly amazing!
Luxury Option:
If You Wanted To Hire Our Photo-Pod Victoria Without Our Disco & With An Operator, Luxury Props,
Up To 400 Prints, Guestbook etc. Prices Start From: £395.00. (this is what most photo-booth companies offer).
Please Click On The Picture Below, Don't Forget Its 6 inch x 4 inch print.
The 3 photos that make up the print are shrunk to fit the 6"x4" print, so it won't zoom bigger on your screen,
but the individual photos on the camera roll will.
Allot of photo-booth companies use much smaller sizes like polaroids, as 6"x4" media is much more expensive to buy.
Typical 6x4 Inch Print Our Photo-Pod Victoria Produces.
We use your beautiful room/venue as your backdrop all the photos/prints you remember where you were.
This picture was done in a underground cavern (Carnglaze Caverns - Cornwall), so very low light & the Pod was set to its lowest camera/light setting not to light the low cavern up too much when being used, constant 10C, with extremely high humidity,
this is extremely challenging conditions for any Photo-Pod (they should not work), Victoria did her job perfectly!
Victoria uses a high end professional FujiFilm photographic printer, & the industry standard Mitsubishi as back-up if ever needed,
also she uses a low light camera as photo-pods are mainly used at night/low ambient light.

And Speech System Battery Powered Speaker.

Specialist In Ballrooms/Larger Dance Areas, & Historic Venues.
No matter your venue choice we adapt to it.
Full Time Professional Dj'ing Is Our Only Income:
You can book Dj Darren Jewell directly from this our website, this saves you money as you get our own special website prices.
Our extra services/Photo-Pod are fantastic for small weddings up to 120 guests, as we price them to be used adding more fun!
The main reason is very few disco companies have disco equipment designed for larger rooms, or more than 60 people dancing at once even if they say they do large rooms etc. Why? disco speakers are designed to only fill your dance floor with good sound as they cannot push all the sound back further, so your guests at the back of the room can only hear a very annoying bass-drone & tinny-screeching noise, & can't hear to get a drink from the bar! so your guests go home early.
To do larger rooms properly so the sound keeps all its quality in all the room there are 2 ways, the first way is to put speakers all around the room (satellite), but they still can only push quality sound so far & might not balance the sound/to tinny,
or not loud enough over lots of people talking etc. (busy bar/pub noise so everyone then shouts louder), also adding more speakers doesn't increase the total volume much as very false economy. The other way is the most expensive we have done with our best sound & lighting, as you buy event-touring grade speakers that do cost well over 3 times more than good specification disco speakers, but most event speakers look ugly... Why we found a couple companies that made a range/specification that looked like normal disco speakers so bought them (its like a trojan horse), we have to limit them to 70% volume so not to be too loud, as it keeps exactly the same sound clarity from low socialising volume, to peak party!
Because our best speakers are the highest quality they work with venue noise limiters & restrictions far better than disco speakers as we never have any issues, & allot of venues enjoy the "live" sound quality so don't put any restrictions on us,
people can still socialise at the back of the room, get heard to order a drink, & your dance floor sounds amazing/live-sound.
It's about quality in all your room because its your wedding, so let's do things properly.
Why we have our best sound & lighting, that can only be booked/hired from this website/webpage no other companies.
Prices Start From:
Our prices below are mainly accurate but on the very rare occasion we might charge a bit more:
eg. peak-season/days/Fri-Sat we charge a bit more as traffic jams, or some venues with access issues etc. as it takes longer to get to your venue/room, why we always arrive one hour before our set-up time / almost all bookings this is included in the listed price below.
We always do off-peak deals November-March, so always phone us?
NOTE: Our Best Quality Sound & Lighting In All Coloured Pictures.
Only Slightly More Expensive Than Our Standard Disco Because Its Designed To Fill All Your Room With High Clarity Sound & Lighting,
We Only Charge More Because It Costs More To Maintain. This is because its a stage-rig without all the fixed metal truss/leads,
so to vastly reduce the setting-up time all the audio & lighting use wireless transmitters/receivers, but the power leads break being a mobile application that does blow the expensive transmitters & receivers, power packs etc. we always carry spares,
so our best sound & lighting show is a small stage show, set-up in 45 minutes that looks amazingly classy for weddings.
This is the only reason our best sound & lighting is only available to book via this webpage, so not available from any other companies even if our name is listed.
All Our Prices Include V.A.T. Because We Keep Our Work Below The V.A.T. Threshold.

We Never Forget It's Your Day: You're Music Your Day.
Fully versatile Dj with over 20 years experience.
Most couples always want music to reflect them, & their closet guests, not forgetting everyone else who is invited.
We ask couples to list about 10-15 songs as "must play music all ages will want to dance to" this gives us an idea what music to play after your first dance, if you are having one? What works best is to play music for all ages first so older generations can celebrate with you, they do tire so then move things to keep your dance floor busy.
It's been a growing trend in recent years after they have celebrated/danced with the older generations to lead the music to reflect them & their close guests eg. University or Clubbing/Festival friends who really want to PARTY!
So we do allot of Clubbing Anthems/dance & Black Music (R&B, garage, d&b etc.), New Music or modern remixes of old disco-funk classics, Indi, etc. At this time the older generations are socialising at the bar or resting, as "let the younger ones have fun"
Near the end of your night get the older generation & everyone back on the dance floor to celebrate again together with you!
No one gets left out as everyone had had a dance with you. If you do want to go more clubbing/festival always book our best sound & lighting show, as disco equipment is just disco/Not festival-club sound quality & volume when our best is.
No Matter Your Music Choice On Your Day We Adapt To It.
Booking Calendar:
If the date has a dot or marked booked please always phone us.
Tel: 01934-613644, Mob: 07792123767.
We Normally Travel All Over The Map Below, & Further.
Planet Friendly:
We try our workable best to be more environmentally friendly as our van is Euro 6 (not enough range on electric & charging points), Our Rustic services are all made from recycled pallets, & our Photo-Pod Victoria was Ally's nana's grandmother clock.
Fully GDPR compliant:
The information you give us is used by your instruction then destroyed after your booking, unless stated otherwise.
Music & Licensing:
We buy the music we need from iTunes (99p per track), or kindly get sent promo's from record labels/producers club-bookings.
Dj's cannot legally stream music in licensed venues this includes wedding venues, as the Dj & venue could be prosecuted so we cannot legally use eg. Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Youtube, Sound-Cloud etc. Or rip/extract music from streaming platforms/websites/sharing.
This is why for weddings we ask for a 15-25 song playlist so we have the songs you want on your night, as some venues have no WiFi, or Phone signal etc. so we cannot buy music on your night.
All our music is legally bought so its a far better quality sound eg. Apple-Lossless 99p per song, Wav-Lossless,
our minimum standard is MP3 320 (mainly club promo's & standard disco bookings). We spend many thousands £ every year as you are paying for a professional legal company with high quality clear music sound. With our best/ballroom sound-system you can clearly hear the difference between the best lossless sound & an MP3 lower quality sound. Sadly allot Dj's do "rip"/steal music from file-sharing sites & streaming services that is extremely low quality & illegal, as your venue can be fined/loose licence, & the Dj/person playing the music,
because they are all classed as personal use licence, not business/commercial use eg. has a bar selling alcohol you legally cannot stream.
For Non U.K. or music that is not top 40 chart U.K. we might sometimes ask clients to supply the music, as not available in the U.K. to buy, or a different version of the song needed that was released in eg. India/China & not in the U.K.
Note:
Our Disco Is A Self Contained Disco/Dj Service:
We Do Not Allow Anything Else To Be Plugged In eg. saxophonists, soloists, bands, phones etc.
If Anything Is Needed To Plug Into Our Disco eg. Sound System, We Charge An Upgrade Fee To Our Best Sound System & Clearly Listed On Your Contract As An Additional Service With The Additional Equipment Listed,
And Always Booked/Paid In Advance, & New Contract Stating This/Equipment Added To The Disco,
As We Need To Buy/Hire Additional Equipment To Stop Non Disco Equipment eg. Saxophonists From Damaging/Breaking Our Equipment, & Cutting Your Night Short.
If logistically we cannot use our best sound-system eg. stairs to your party room/difficult access, we have to use 2 extra pieces of equipment (buy/hire) to overcome this issue, that the disco does not normally have to use as only used when plugging non-disco related equipment in.
