Ten essential questions to ask when booking with us….

1. Who are Gumball Events?

Gumball Events DJ’s are specialists in providing great music entertainment for Corporate Events, Private Parties, Proms, and Weddings. Established for over ten years, our business has grown through personal referrals and recommendation (visit our Testimonials).

2. Why should I book a DJ from Gumball?

A good, quality DJ will play music which will appeal to all the guests at your event. They will be able to “read the crowd”, and vary the music in order to keep people dancing. They will act as a MC if required and be able to take requests - that’s us! We will provide the perfect music mix to entertain you and your guests.

3. What areas do you cover?

We mostly operate in London and the South. We are prepared to travel further afield, but keep in mind this may attract additional fees to cover mileage, accommodation and subsistence (don’t be put off, let’s have a chat first).

4. Will we meet the DJ who is playing at our event before the event?

For wedding events - we insist you do! We regard ourselves as providing a personal service to you; so our DJ will make arrangements to meet you before the event so he/she is not a ‘stranger’ on the big day. For other events like corporate / birthday parties – it’s not essential, however we usually encourage an introductory Facetime or telephone chat – as it helps!

5. What happens to my chosen DJ In case of illness?

If for any reason your DJ becomes unavailable - we will make arrangements for another member of our DJ team to step in and cover the absence. Our DJ’s (are mostly) ‘open format’, meaning - they play a wide variety of music at different types of events - so are confident to step into any situation and keep the standards and genres or playlists expected.

6. Can we have some input on the songs you play In your DJ SET?

Yes – for special occasions like weddings and birthdays we encourage our clients to let us know a handful of your favourite songs so the DJ will include them on the night.

7. Why do you take an initial deposit on bookings?

Taking a deposit means - we immediately commit to your event by reserving the DJ and the equipment for the event. It means we start planning and paying attention to every detail no matter how small – our service to you is what earns your trust!! Our livelihood and reputation are based on this.

8. Is my booking secured by a contract arrangement?

Yes – the venue, arrival for setup and DJ start / finishing times are all discussed and confirmed beforehand and entered into our contract agreement. We normally send out our simple terms and conditions prior to booking so you know in advance how the process works.

9. Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes – our insurance is current and covers public liability instances. Most venues will not work with uninsured acts, so it’s vital you check this aspect before booking an entertainment company.

10. Is your electrical equipment PAT tested?

Yes – our equipment is annually checked and PAT Tested to comply with current H&S requirements.

Our friendly team are available to answer your questions and help you through the booking process.
