Disco Setups & DJs
With After Dark Productions we have a huge inventory of superior quality equipment. We can offer a bespoke design service for your wedding. We use state of the art production computer aided design software, this shows exactly how everything will fit as well as pre defined recommended packages and bolt on extras.
With every package or bespoke service also included is the following: -
- Online Client Portal: The client gets a login to a portal where they can manage music requests, view all the data we hold on their booking and setup a timeline to help manage their day.
- DJ: After Dark DJs are all top end DJ's, they have the experience to keep the dance floor packed and never let it go stale.
- Lighting Operator and System Technician: All the events we work on have light shows under control of a dedicated operator. The operator makes sure the light show always match what is going on with the music, rather than the mess of a selection of lights using internal programs. (It amazes us how few mobile DJ's have a dedicated lighting operator)
- Full H&S Documentation: Employees / Public Liability Insurance, P.A.T Certification, Risk Assessments, COSHH data, BS7909 Compliance
- Project Management: We project manage all our bookings, we will liaise with you and the venue over all matters. We produce documentation for all parties showing what we are installing with CAD drawings where needed, a full time sheet detailing our movements are also shared with the venue. So there are never any surprises on the day. Every venue we work in we make sure we keep on file all the data we need, such as load in routes, measurements, power supply and location. You will also have full details and contacts for our on site staff (DJ and technicians)
- Diffusion/Haze Machines: We use a diffusion machine which produces an almost invisible and completely harmless mist, this is what exposes the impressive beams of light that shoot through the air out of our lights. It creates an incredible atmosphere and adds to the party vibe. Due to the way some smaller venues fire detection systems are configured they are unable to zone off their detection systems, thus the use of standard haze machines that our competitors use are banned. Our machine creates a haze with a much smaller particle size, this means we can operate it within the threshold of the majority of smoke detector systems. In fact there are some venues where we are the only DJ's authorised to use haze.
Every event is different, from the client’s personal taste to the size of the venue and numbers of guests attending. To have just one setup used for every gig would be frankly quite daft! Below you can view pre defined DJ setups that range from small to large, learn about our DJs, and find information about our bespoke design service.
