About me and what I do to enhance your day

Hello, I am so glad you found me your musical MC/Host & DJ Mike Hackett.
I have been a DJ for many years and am a Radio DJ, Club DJ, international events MC, Wedding, Party DJ well respected and sought after to play in and around Bristol and the Southwest of the UK.
While doing all that I realised just how much I enjoyed Weddings the most, the getting to know a couple and helping them to create a fun-filled and emotional day and night, BUT that is not something you turn up and do without learning how to do it, so I trained with industry-leading DJ’s and MC’s including currently being a member of PMCA
PMCA click to find out more about this organisation 
Having me as an MC (Emcee) is the key to making sure the day runs smoothly for all in attendance, he is responsible for the success of any event as to the timings, pace and feel of the event, the result is you having a carefree day and night celebrating with family and friends.
My plan for the future is to deliver an even better service from start to finish I never stop learning and investing in my training, talk to me about a Wedding and you will soon discover just how passionate I am about this great industry.
Book a call with me today and find out more.

Most common questions when booking a DJ

What do you do as an Evening DJ?

I bring you a PARTY put simply, well mixed music of your choosing or style, plus fantasic modern Sound and Lighting, Just the right amount of interaction to bring your event to life without being cheesy or talking all over the great music you have selected. What I DO NOT bring is unsightly advertising or an untidy looking show.

Do you take requests?

Yes, I am more than happy to take a request on the night after all I am there for you and your guests but if asked to play something from your DO NOT PLAY list no matter how hard they beg I won’t play that.

Can I connect my phone into your system?

Sorry no this is not an option I have a vast library of music and I can if the Wi-Fi allows get most things from online music sources even if it takes a little while.

Can and do you play anything?

Well I do play a large amount of music styles but some are not what I feel comfortable playing let’s have a chat and see if I am the best fit for your party, I would not want to be the DJ that cannot provide just the right thing at your event, and if we decide I am not right for you I can normally suggest a few other DJ’s for you to consider.

What does your show look like?

I have a few different styles, Black booth/DJ Stand with LED’s White booth/DJ Stand with LED’s and the GHETTO BOOM Box look that is white and has flashing LED lights, as for sound I can cater for parties from 50 up to 500 as long as we have had a chat I will bring the most appropriate on the day, I have plenty of modern lighting to set a great mood on the floor.
There are some pictures of the show at the bottom of this page, and we aim to complement any venue

What does an All-day Wedding DJ do?

See the all-day Wedding DJ page

Will there be strobe lighting?

Not if you request there NOT to be we do not use it often anyway and when we do its only for short bursts.

What about sound levels can you turn it up and down?

What a great question Yes on both counts we have a volume control and we are not afraid to use it and if you want it kept low then you’re the customer and we will do just that, if you want it LOUD why not it’s your event, Some Venues may also ask us to stay at lower levels due to guests that may be staying overnight at that venue and could be disturbed so we make sure the levels are appropriate in that instance.

Can I book you past midnight?
If you are interested in having your party carry on past midnight a small extra fee of just £50 per additional hour
Is there a booking fee and how much is it?

Yes, to ensure that I have reserved the services and myself for your event or wedding there is a £100 booking fee, this is taken off your final balance and is due at the time of booking to secure your date. You can pay the deposit booking fee at the time of booking or within 7 days of making your booking. Please be aware booking fees are non-refundable after an initial 14 day colling off period of the booking date

However, they are transferable to another date within 12 months of the original date, please ask for more info if you need to use this service. Terms & Conditions will apply

Can I pay by card?

This is a popular question, and the answer is sorry but no.
We accept payment by bank transfer only.
We always send recipts via email and can always be contacted via Email, Phone, Social media.

When do I have to pay and can I pay in instalments?

Payment of the booking fee is done at time of booking or within 7 days of the booking and the balance is due 21 days prior to the event, but you can make incremental payments by prior agreement to help spread the cost and we will provide a receipt for each payment made and how musch is left remaining to pay.

Can my mate DJ on your setup?
Unless we have spoken about this and planned it in advance then no, sorry but if we can talk beforehand I will do what I can to make sure we can make that happen. I want to give you and your guests the best possible time and your mate may well be a perfect addition to the night if planned correctly.
Do you use Spotify or YouTube?
Sorry no these are not permitted for public performances from a legal point of view and so we do not use them, also the chance of an advert suddenly playing on YouTube is massive so again a good reason to avoid.
