Music
What music do you play?
We aim to play the most appropriate music whatever the function and so we tailor our music to suit both the younger and older members of our audiences.
How up to date is your music collection?
We constantly update our music collection each week to ensure we don't miss the best music around.
Do you take song requests on the night?
Definitely yes. We are more than happy to play all of your favourite songs.
How can I request a song at my party?
Simply ask the DJ on the night for your favourite track. We take song request cards to our gigs with us simply fill in the card and give it to the DJ on the night and he/she will play the requested song. You can also text our DJ's. On the day/night of your event we will give you a number that you can text to hear all your favourite songs.
Services
What makes you different from other mobile discos?
Unlike other mobile disco's we are a full time professional business using top quality DJ's and the best in audio and lighting equipment. Many operators work on a part-time basis and concentrate on another career. We on the other hand use all our time to ensure all our services are delivered the correct way and your day/night is as good as it possibly can be. Not only this but we have all our equipment PAT tested so you can be sure that it won't break down during your event and also that it will be safe around your family and friends.
Do you come with any recommendations from other customers?
If you take a look at our guestbook you will see comments made by some of our many happy customers. Although we have been founded for nearly 15 years this web site was created around 3 years ago and so we can only show a few of the recommendations from clients.
Do you only provide discos?
No. We provide party supplies including balloons, banners, party decoration, wedding stationery, wedding favours, chocolate fountains, bands, magicians and even P.A. systems for corporate events. For more information on the things we do click here and here.
What would happen if you fell ill before our function?
In the unlikely event that the DJ we provide falls ill before your event then a suitable alternative will be provided.
Can we see you perform before we book you?
Unfortunately we are unable to invite you to private functions such as weddings etc. This is to maintain our professionalism. However, we can arrange to meet you using our FREE consultation service where we will show you photos and videos of us at work all in the comfort of your home or office. Alternatively, if we are playing at a club or pub doing karaoke or disco then you are more than happy come along and enjoy the fun.
Do you have a demo CD you could send us before our function/event?
Yes we do. When booking with us we can send you a cd with some of our favourite party floorfillers on it. This way you can listen to some of the songs that will liven up your event. If you're planning a wedding then we can provide you with some beautiful (and all important) first dance song suggestions. You can maybe even practice your 1st dance in your living room!!! After your event as a courtesy gesture we will make a cd with all your favourite party tracks on it for you to keep and we will even send it to you for free.
Variables
How long do you take to set up?
This depends on a number of factors. The main ones being what system is being used for the event, and also how we can access our disco area. One of our larger rigs takes up to 1 hour 15 minutes to set up, combine this with the time it takes for us to move all our gear up and down stairs etc. this may take up to 1 hour 45 minutes.
What time do you normally set up?
For most of our parties we aim to set up during the day if possible. By setting up this way we make sure we are as discrete as possible and ensure we're not moving heavy equipment around your party guests - this is something that may look unprofessional.
How much power do you need?
For the Bronze and Silver Packages we require 3 x 13 amp socket with 13 amps spare capacity. For the Gold and Platinum Packages we require 4 separate 13 amp sockets with a total spare capacity of at least 20 amps. These electrical sockets need to be within 10 metres of the Disco. If your event is in a Marquee then it’s best that we speak directly to your marquee company to help arrange your power requirements.
How much space do you need?
This depends on the size of the equipment that we will be using. Obviously our "Mobile Nightclub or Platinum Rig" wouldn't fit onto a small stage so a larger stage would be better and vice versa. Our equipment can be adapted to suit any hall size large or small.
What time do you normally finnish?
Typically our discos have 2 time ranges which depend on the hours of business and licenses of your party venue. A 7.30pm start would mean we would finnish at 12pm and an 8.00pm start means we would finnish at 1.00am. However, (if you get really excited) we can play on for longer for an extra charge.
Which areas do you cover?
We can cover the whole of Scotland and North of England. We regularly work around the Motherwell area of Lanarkshire but also service many other areas such as Hamilton, East Kilbride, Larkhall, Rutherglen, Blantyre, Wishaw, Shotts, Coatbridge, Airdrie and Bellshill. In fact almost anywhere. Some of our DJ's have worked in Spain, Holland, Italy and even as far as Australia.
Do you need to see the venue?
Yes we do. This is in order for us to assess what disco unit and/or party supplies etc would be the most appropriate for your event. For example it would be pointless booking one of our smaller rigs for a large wedding in a Town Hall. This also allows us to see what obstacles such as stairs we would have to tackle when setting up our gear.
Can you set up the entertainment prior to our arrival at the venue?
Yes if and when required. As we are full time we would spend our time during the day to ensure all of our equipment is set up properly and looks great. During this time we would also do a sound check.
DJ's & Entertainers
Who are your DJ's and what are they like?
We pride ourselves on providing the best DJ's and entertainers around. If you look here you can see some of our DJ's and a description of their musical taste. All our DJ's have vast experience of working at many different events and they will also look the part too.
What do your DJ's wear to gigs?
All of our DJ's come dressed appropriately with no tacky hats or trainers etc. If required we can provide fancy dress for our DJ's to blend into your costume party.
We have a variety of age groups coming to our party. Will your music be suitable for all?
Of course. At G*Star our DJ's have vast catalogues of music ranging from 50's swing to present day floorfillers. We constantly share music between us to make sure that we have all the essential tracks for each event.
Cost
Why are you cheaper than some discos?
At G*Star we firmly believe in value for money. We also don't like to see people being ripped off. This is why we provide a competetive price. In our experience we have some of the best mobile disco units around and so with us you get real value for money. Gone are the days where mobile discos have cheesy 70's style light boxes and home made speakers and we at G*Star have recognised this. That is why we use all the latest sound and lighting gear to make your event a special one. Some discos who charge similar prices than us still use older and unprofessional equipment and also use DJ's with little or no expericne so with us you really can't go wrong.
Why are you dearer than some discos?
Much like the answer above. We pride ourselves in offering top class DJ's, lighting and sound equipment. All this equipment is very expensive which also has to be PAT tested costing even more money. As we are full time we have a lot of overheads such as marketing and advertising which has to be paid for. If another disco provider seems really cheap then you must ask yourself why. Will this other disco turn up on time for your wedding? Will their equipment break down half way through your first dance? Will children be safe around all electrical cables? Will their speakers stands give way and speakers fall on my guests? These are all questions we will answer NO to and so we offer a better service for a slightly higher price.
Do you take a deposit?
We require a deposit to finalise your booking with us. This deposit is usually £70. Once you pay your deposit if you cancel your event a week in advance then it is non returnable. This is due to the fact that our DJ's are given a cancellation fee if their services are no longer required.
When do I have to pay you the balance?
The full balance can be paid anytime before your event or on the day/night if requested. When booking with us if you could let us know when you intend to pay the balance then we can process things faster.
How much do you charge?
This question depends on many different things. What type of event is it? Where it is? How long it is on for? How many guests will be attending your event? What size of rig we use? All these questions can be answered buy calling John to make a booking on 07823 337 447 or e-mail gstarmobilediscos@yahoo.co.uk.
Bookings
How far in advance should I book?
The sooner the better. As we are really busy all year round if you decide to have a party or host an event then phone us as soon as you can so we can process things quickly, give you a price for our services and then finalise your booking.
Will you be available on our date?
This depends on what date it is. As mentioned above we are a really popular business and so on occasion we may be fully booked. If this is the case then we would be more than happy to help you organise an alternative disco/party provider from our contact list. We know some really good mobile discos and entertainers and so we would take the hastle out of searching around looking for a really good provider.
How can I book you?
You can book us very easily by phoning John on 07823 337 447 or send an e-mail to gstarmobilediscos@yahoo.co.uk and we will respond to your message within 24hours.
