We Are Not Like Other Wedding/Disco Companies.
Disco Equipment Is Only Designed To Fill Your Dance-floor With Quality Sound & Lighting.
djdarrenjewell.com Makes Sure The Disco Can Fill Your Entire Room With Quality Sound & Lighting.
The Reason For This Is Not All Your Guests Will Be On The Dance Floor All Night As Want To Socialise, Why We Make Sure Music Is Quieter At The Back Of The Room & Still Has Great Clarity.
We Have All Been To Weddings & The Music Quality At The Back Of The Room Is So Bad You Make An Excuse To Go Home Early... Disco Speakers Are Only Designed For Small Dance Floor Sound.
Disco Companies Do Not Invest In Very Expensive Sound Systems, but claim They Do Large Room Sizes But In Fact It's Only A Small Dance Floor Size Not The Room Size, Or Deceiving Couples Stating How Many Watts Speakers have? Sound is measured in dB (decibels not Watts), & decibels at 1 meter with the speaker on its Axis (most speakers use the fake half/quarter space that can add 10 dB in fake loudness you don't get).
Booking "djdarrenjewell.com contracts" from this webpage you will get the correct specification of equipment to do all your room, so the dance floor sounds great & guests can still talk/socialise at the back of your room, this is why we are not like other disco companies, & have various specification discos for different room sizes.
Simple:
1. Pic The Disco Look You Like, & We Shall Let You Know If Its Suitable For Your Venue?
e.g. you don't want a lower/industry standard spec disco in a ballroom or large marquee, or a ballroom spec disco in a small room.
djdarrenjewell.com are the only company we know that does this, as one size/spec does not fit all.
2. Phone Or Email: Tell Us Your Venue, & How You Want Things Done/We Do A Quote.
3. We Send You The Paperwork As Everything Is Listed/What You Have Booked/Want Done.
4. Four Weeks Before Your Wedding Send Darren Your 20-30 "Floor Fillers For All Ages" Song Playlist.
5. A Few Days Before Your Wedding Darren Will Phone You To Go Through Any Details.

If You Have Not Booked Darren Directly From This Webpage Other Companies We Work With Book This Disco.
Perfect For Small To Medium Sized Rooms/Weddings:
Good Industry Standard Disco That Does About 80% of Bookings Due To Your Venue Room Size,
Because Weddings & Wedding Venues Have Got Smaller In Recent Years, & Disco Speaker Specifications Reflect This Small Room Size As The New Standard (weddings today are around 60-120 guests so smaller rooms, 10 years ago 120-200+ guests).
Note:
What Darren Classes As "Wedding Industry Standard / Classic-Disco" Is A Much Higher Specification Compared To What Most Other Companies Sell/Couples Book.
Most disco's use budget range speakers due to cost, or more stylish looking but they are not so loud/just designed for your dance floor so the quality drops further back in your room. Our "Classic Disco" uses midrange "band" speakers so higher quality than normal disco speakers
eg. Top speakers 2x EV EKX-15P (active), Sub speakers 2x RCF 705 AS II (active). We have heard a number of bands use them in small-medium sized rooms, they sound clear at all volumes (vocals, instruments, bass), & can deliver at "peak party", were budget rangers or more stylish ones can't. Sadly most disco's don't invest in higher specification/larger room speakers so over-drive lower spec speakers so your guests leave due to bad sound quality, why we have options 2 & 3. Its not about how many WATT's, how much Bass, or highest dB decibels = You need clear sound for all frequencies to do all genres of music/weddings, this means you don't need the sound so loud because its clear & full.
All speakers have limitations of how far they can push quality sound back, so not blasting your guests with bass or tinny annoying sound,
why djdarrenjewell.com are honest & highlight what grade of disco would work best for your venue, & your needs, or not quote for unsuitable equipment.
Below: Medium Sized Rooms: Number: 1 & Number: 2
Our "Classic Disco" Can Comfortably Do Medium Sized Rooms Up To 120 Guests, As Better Specification Speakers Than Most Discos Use Today (Yellow Up-lighting Side Walls & Roof Pic Is The Classic Disco).
Simple Guide: If There Are More People In The Picture Below To The Back Of The Picture/Tables You Should Always Book Our "Part-Premium Show".
If Your Room Is Very Long, High Ceiling, Or Have Over 120 Guests In The Room Our "Part-Premium Show" Should Be Booked As Designed To Push All The Sound Clarity Back Much Further, So Your Guests Can Hear High-Clarity Music & Still Socialise At The Back Of The Room, Why We Always Give Couples A Quote For The Classic Disco, & Part Premium Show.
Part-Premium Show Below: Top & Purple Up-lighting Pictures (Booked form this webpage only).
Classic Disco Show: Yellow Up-Lighting Picture.
We send our djdarrenjewell.com headed contract.
This Prefect for couples into festivals or clubbing, Larger Room Size, Or Want Natural Crystal Clear Sound.
The Event Sound-System Is Designed To Push All The Sound Quality Back Further, So At The Back Of The Room It Sounds Crystal Clear But Just A Bit Quieter for socialising. The Lighting Has Been Upgraded & Programmed For More Of A Show.
Our Part-Premium Show is aimed at couples that have larger rooms, or want more of a festival-club vibe party so sound quality is important.
djdarrenjewell.com contract bookings playlists are Lossless Quality Hi-Res Lossless, & STEM'S the same quality, so our audio settings need to be set much higher 24-bit / 96-kHz (studio quality), as our premium shows use touring event quality speakers so they will deliver this high performance (HARMAN PROFESSIONAL & Nexo Design).
Below: Darren's "Full Premium Show" Is Designed For Large/Ballrooms Number: 3
Note:
The Dancefloor Is The Size Of Of Some Wedding Venues, We Also Recommend This In Large Marquees.
Only Available To Book From This Webpage.
You can book the full premium show in Long or High Medium sized rooms from us if you prefer this setup.
We send our djdarrenjewell.com headed contract.
If You Have A Large Ballroom/Long HighRoom Or A Dance Floor Area For Over 80 People Dancing.
This Prefect for couples into festivals or clubbing, Larger Room Size, Or Want Natural Crystal Clear Sound.
The dance floor is bigger than some wedding venues.
Some Couples Have Booked Our Full-Premium Show In Medium Sized Rooms.
Our Full-Premium Show is aimed at couples wanting something a bit special (not the industry normal) for there wedding, as "high-definition" sound & lighting all your room reflecting your party mood = You want more of a classy show/concert in sound & lighting quality.
Your playlist is Lossless or Hi-Res Lossless, Quality, & STEM'S the same quality, so our audio settings need to be set much higher 24-bit / 96-kHz (studio quality), as our premium shows use touring event quality speakers so they will deliver this high performance (HARMAN PROFESSIONAL & Nexo Design).
Not suitable for small rooms because the speakers are designed to force the sound back much further, so this bounces off the venue walls back at you making it much louder at all volumes (we don't want to deafen anyone), our "Part-Premium" uses the same sound-system.
Price Guide:
Just Phone Us Or Email & Ask For A Quote Stating Your Wedding Date,Venue, & Number Of Guests?
We Cannot Quote Without That Information, As Want You To Have A Disco With The Specification & Look You Want, & Will Do A Good Job.
Here Is Three Examples Of Quotes:
Different Room Sizes, Peak/Off-Peak, & Extra Services/Photo-Pod.
If You Would Like To Book Our Events Mirrorball Please Let Us Know Before You Book As It Requires Allot More Room Behind The DJ Booth & Ceiling Height.
A: To, djdarrenjewell.com
"we are getting married Saturday 23 August, in Priston Mill Barn with 150 guests please can we have a quote?"
This is peak-season so we would add more travel time/2+ hours, & with 150 guests its a borderline number between our Classic-Disco, Or Part-Premium Show?
The quote would be something like this:
Based on a disco setup time 6-7pm, disco playing time 7pm-midnight: Classic-Disco: £425, Or Part-Premium Show £455, by booking Darren from this his website directly he has given a discount on the part-premium show because it is more suited for the venue room size, roof height, & if all your 150 guests all want to dance at once our part-premium show will do this with ease, Or if you wanted to WOW! everyone our "Rustic Full Premium Show with mood-uplighting & Dj booth heart" the quote would be £500, pictured below in Coombe Lodge.
B: To, djdarrenjewell.com
"we are getting married Monday 12 January in Clevedon Hall, with 75 guests. how much would a disco & photo-pod be?"
This is off-peak as midweek & January, also the venue is 20 minuets away.
We would do the cheapest quote base on disco setup 6-7pm, disco playing time 7pm-midnight, the photo-pod/compact wooden boxes/cases pod is self-service (saving £130 as no operator needed), & open 6pm-midnight.
Quote: £400 including the Classic Disco, Or £415 including the part-premium show if you prefer that look (it will sound better in the room/higher clarity).
C: To, djdarrenjewell.com
"we are getting married Saturday 19 July in the Roman Baths/Bath with 100 guests, how much would a disco cost?"
This is peak-season & the venue has very bad access/parking issues so we would add on more money, as extra time & care is needed. Booking from this webpage we would only quote for our part-premium or preferably our premium show in this venue due to the room sizes/ballroom size, high ceiling height, & room harmonics.
Quote: Part-Premium Show £550, Full-Premium Show £575, If you wanted to add the mirrorball & our mood-uplighting that can change colour during your night eg. white first dance & wedding breakfast, after 11pm blue etc. extra £25.
Note: Darren only increased the price £25 from the Part-premium show to the Full premium show, as he thinks the full-premium show should be booked.

About: Dj Darren Jewell & djdarrenjewell.com
Some couples want to know our Dj'ing history, & why we do weddings?
1989: Darren Started Dj'ing for fun doing parties for friends, with a day job.
1991-1994: Darren was still Dj'ing for fun doing pub, & some weddings for close friends, with a day job.
1995-1998: Darren was still Dj'ing for fun & also playing some nightclub nights, with a day job.
1999-2009: In 1999 Darren went fully professional Dj'ing as his only income, playing in super-clubs residencies eg. The Millennium Complex Plymouth 2800 capacity (main room dance/trance/hard dance, & the R & B Room), being booked to warm up for big Dj's like Farley Jackmaster Funk, Ibiza resident Dj's/artists (they come to the U.K.out of season / Darren does not like flying), & Garage Dj's/Mc's.
2010-Today: The nightclub scene was declining early "00's" as the big clubs were closing, & the high-street clubs move towards what music pubs paid (a mix for all ages / like a wedding disco). After working for some of the U.K.'s largest club/bar chains, & now smaller venues paying £80-200/night 6 hours Dj'ing Friday & Saturday nights, as Darren was paid much more in the super clubs that were in decline. So having to balance the books Darren bought a good mobile disco as what the high-street clubs/bars were telling the Dj to play he could make far more money playing the same music at weddings, University nights etc. In recent years Darren has diversified as has photo-pods to with the small classic-disco.
BUT... We were getting asked by couples to do there wedding that we're into new clubbing music & festivals, as wanted there wedding to have a similar aspect/feel. We knew that the "wedding industry standard disco" was honestly a pile of rubbish to do this eg. Larger rooms, Marquees, & people wanted to feel the music = "They wanted it Banging! the last hour" like the Ibiza club they had there stag/hen party at, or crystal clear "live sounding" festival sound, Not everyone wants ABBA, Macarena, September all night... So we went a bit bonkers & bought the specification of sound & lighting to fill the largest ballroom in the Assembly Roos Bath (its bigger than most final destination nightclubs today, & it sounded "Amazing!" in there, it cost allot of money... (Ally still has not forgiven me, but it always amazes her to hear it). We had to charge more as it costs allot more to maintain = "djdarrenjewell.com Premium Bespoke services" was born, as different equipment gets used compared to all other bookings, & carry far more back-ups as its djdarrenjewell.com own standard not the industry standard model.

Disco Specification Booked Is Always Listed On Your "djdarrenjewell.com Premium Bespoke Services" Contract As: "Classic, Part-Premium, Or Premium"
We Always Send You A Picture On An Email Of Exactly What You Have Booked, If This Is Not Listed You Have Booked A Different Company That Sells Different Equipment/Services, & You Must Only Contact Them Not Darren Regarding All Information/Timings/What Is Booked e.t.c.
Key Points Other Companies Clients Must Not Do:
A. In recent years Darren does get some clients that have booked thought different companies, so that company sells them their package. What is happening is other company clients prefer djdarrenjewell.com "premium shows" & demand we use them when they have not been booked/paid for, so rather go back to the company they booked & ask them for an upgrade give Darren abuse, or phone the company they booked falsely claiming "Darren said we need his premium show" trying to get a free upgrade = Darren will reject the booking
Don't forget its not worth the gamble blagging a free upgrade trying to get "Premium services" because his "classic disco" is a higher Spec than most weddings discos = You end up with a low spec disco not from Darren.
B. All the information is on your contract so keep it in a safe place. We are getting an increasing amount of other companies clients wish to change there setup/disco etc. timings so increasing the subcontractors hours worked, so rather than go back to the other company they booked claim they do not know the hours they have paid for they contact Darren saying they have booked him for the hours they now want? They must only contact the company they booked = Darren will reject the booking.
C. If you book a different company you must only contact that company you booked as you have paid them to do all the admin, Darren does a "deal price" for that company as he is not doing any admin, Darren has not got to contact other companies clients as just gets handed the relevant information to Dj your night = This means do not contact Darren giving him lots of unpaid work, or WhatApp day/night. We have had so many other company clients start WhatsApp him all-hours for information on the other companies contracts/what they have booked/timings etc. , he has now had to block his WhatsApp account, & if other companies clients carry on using other means Darren will reject your booking, & has had to order a new phone/contact number for all non-djdarrenjewell.com that should be listed on other companies contracts from end of July 2025.
Just starting the obvious if djdarrenjewell.com is not on your contract, why are you contacting them or assume you have booked things from them?
When people ask & are nice to us we are nice back to them, but if they start demanding free upgrades/deliberately cause trouble, having to work more hours for free, or trying to play the subcontractor off again the company they booked so deliberately causing trouble to get free things, its not going to happen & if the booking is not rejected the other companies client get the bare minimum standard as Darren usually does more than he is paid if clients are nice, but some things he cannot do.
