Adelaide Function DJ HIre

Be honest with me here… are you?

“In the process of organizing our wedding we had to make – literally - hundreds of decisions about who would be responsible for what, and how much it would cost. And I can say, with all sincerity, that hiring Loc as our DJ was one of the very best decisions we made. His engagement with our event starting long before the big day, when he was fantastically responsive over email regarding our myriad of questions related to music and video concerns. Closer to the day, we appreciated the time he took to visit the venue together with us and go over the plan for the evening .. he even helped us with our dance steps! And finally, on the big night, Loc kept our 100+ guests entertained with a five hour set that included all the songs we asked for – and plenty more that were very suitable for the occasion. In short, Loc was everything that we hoped for, and then some. Trust me when I say that whatever you’re paying Loc, he’s actually worth double that.”

With so many options available it’s hard to know what is the right decision to make.

If you’ve got more money to spend you could go with a band but you will have to make sure that they are all professional and committed to ensuring that your social function is a success. But even then it’s highly unlikely that you could get a band to play every song that you request.

If you’ve got guests who are more into karaoke then you’re going to have to find someone who has all of the necessary video and audio equipment. But even then, unless you have family and friends who are really good singers it might not be as much fun for your guests as you imagine.

If you decide to just use an iPod and play a pre-recorded list of songs, it may be cheap and convenient but will it be memorable? I mean, this is supposed to be your special day after all and you do want to make a good impression on your family, friends and guests don’t you?

Keeping everyone happy is not that easy and is this something that you really want to be worried about on your big day when you already have so many other things on your mind?

Why not get someone to take care of all of this stuff, all of the sound, lighting and music requests so that you can focus on the important stuff?

“Loc was an absolute professional, all we had to do was choose the songs we wanted and he took care of the rest. I didn’t have to worry about organising microphones or audio equipment it was all taken care of. We contacted Loc only a few weeks before the wedding reception, we were lucky that Loc was available and was able to do the event on such short notice. Thanks Loc for stepping in and doing some of the MCing to keep everything running smoothly. Overall I’m sure every one of our guests enjoyed the night and I would recommend Loc to anyone who is looking for a professional wedding DJ.”

Having a professional social function DJ at your social function can make a huge impression on your guests and will show them that you value their presence because a good social function DJ can interact with the crowd, bring with them a professional sound system and ensure that your social function is a memorable one. Other benefits of having a professional social function DJ at your social function include cost-effectiveness, no insurance hassles and less wastage.

1. Interacting With The Crowd

A good social function DJ…

2. Professional Sound System

3. Memorable

4. Cost-Effectiveness

Generally speaking a social function DJ will cost less than hiring say a band because one person can do all of the work necessary. Where as with a band you may have to pay more than one person as well as any other people involved such as roadies required to transport, set-up and pack-down all of the necessary equipment.

5. Insurance

A professional social function DJ will have the necessary insurance cover including public liability, products liability and property liability required by some venues and ensure that you are covered in case someone trips on a power cord or if some equipment is damaged.

6. Less Wastage

A social function DJ generally consumes less resources such as electricity and therefore will produce less wastage which is not only good for you but for the environment also!

So if you are on a tight budget but want to ensure that your guests have a good time at your social function you now have plenty of reasons to consider hiring a professional social function DJ!

“On the night of our film premiere we had the pleasure to be entertained by not just a DJ, not just an MC but a friendly and comedic Host who added to the celebrations of our evening. Loc Tran provided three services to our company, DJ, MC/Host and Comedian. His vast choice of music was greatly enjoyed by over 200 guests at our event throughout the night. The playlist selection had something for everyone and got many people of all ages up and dancing. Loc demonstrated confident skills in being our Master of Ceremonies for this three and half hour exclusive event. His ability to catch audience attention and involve the audience came easily to him. His comedic timing of jokes and initial ice breakers set an entertaining and relaxed mood for all who attended. Considering the amount of initial preparation time we gave to DJ Loc Tran to rehearse he was able to add his own unique and refreshing style in such a short amount of time. We along with our sister companies will certainly be acquiring the delightful, talented and skilful services of DJ Loc Tran in our future events.”

Deanna Ortuso, Adelaide Actor And Producer, Fashion Show And Movie Launch

I’ve been DJ’ing now for four years and the feedback that I consistently get from clients is that they want to hear the music that they want to hear, they want a social function DJ who is good at taking requests.

They want to have a memorable experience where everyone is having fun, feels like they are participating in something special and have the opportunity to get up on the dance floor and show off their awesome moves.

They want someone who is professional, who shows up on time, does what he is supposed to do, treats family, friends and guests with respect and doesn’t have any hidden charges for doing simple things like taking song requests and making special announcements.

“The event went off without a hitch. The music was fun and kept everyone dancing all night long. Loc was great to work with, very flexible and accommodating of requests. A great time was had by all of the guests, who didn’t want to leave. A big thank you to Loc. From The School of Education – Adelaide Uni Graduation Ball 2010. Cheers. Leah.”

1. Will the DJ serve as emcee or will they only play music?

It really depends on the complexity of the task, if there is a lot of emceeing work to be done it’s best to discuss it before the actual social function however if it’s just a few occasional announcements, then it shouldn’t be much of an issue.

2. If there are any special messages from guests needing to be read, will the DJ accommodate these requests?

Yes, you will just need to let me know so I can stop the music at the most appropriate time for the special messages to be read.

3. What happens if there should be an emergency due to illness, injury or some other unforeseen situation? If so, will a backup DJ be provided?
