PRIVATE & CORPORATE EVENTS *
Every event marks something worth celebrating, but not every celebration fits a template, and it shouldn't have to.
Whatever the occasion, my focus is the same: understanding the people in the room, the atmosphere you want to create, and delivering a night that feels entirely yours.
BEFORE THE EVENT
One Point of Contact
From your first enquiry through to the event itself, I’ll be your direct point of contact. I handle the planning, music preparation and technical details personally, so nothing is lost in translation.
Planning & Preparation
We’ll discuss the tone of your event, your guests and how you want the evening to feel. I’ll prepare music based on your chosen genres, decades, and eras, ensuring the soundtrack aligns with your vision and the vibe you want your guests to experience.
Venue & Logistics
I’ll confirm all technical requirements with the venue, check access and layout, and ensure everything is ready well before the day.
Available For You
Stress-free planning with direct access on WhatsApp, email and phone. Prompt replies, support and clear guidance whenever you need it.
ON THE DAY
Set Up & Sound Check
I set up and sound check all equipment before guests arrive, ensuring everything is ready.
Event Coordination
Before the event, I’ll prepare a clear Event Run Sheet tailored to your programme. This includes a detailed schedule with key timings, speaker or presenter names, introduction wording, cue points for awards, announcements or transitions, and agreed music for entrances, or key moments. For whatever needs to happen really.
It can also include walk-on music, background playlists, and selected tracks to open or close the evening, all aligned with the tone and objectives of your event.
You’ll receive this in advance to review and confirm, ensuring clarity across the running order. Once agreed, it becomes our shared reference point and can be circulated to venue staff, organisers, and other professionals to keep everything aligned on the day
Hosting & Announcements
If hosting is needed, I make clear, confident announcements and introduce speakers. I support key moments without interrupting the event’s flow.
My approach is gentle and respectful, guiding the moment without overshadowing you or your guests.
Keeping Things On Track
Events often need schedule changes. If timing shifts or adjustments are needed, I adapt calmly and efficiently to keep the experience seamless for you and your guests.
BRINGING YOUR EVENT TO LIFE
Sound & Light
Sound and lighting set the tone for the entire event. Clear audio keeps speeches and announcements professional, while a powerful evening setup ensures the dance floor has energy when it matters.
I use a full professional sound system for evening celebrations, along with customisable lighting designed to complement the space and mood of your event.
Below is more detail on each setup and when each comes into play.
-
2024 Apple MacBook Pro 14” - M4 processor.
Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 - 4-Channel DJ controller.
RCF F 6X external mixer.
AIAIAI TMA-2 DJ Wireless+ Professional Headphones.
Shure SM58 microphone for announcements.
Velvet DJ booth available in four colours.
-
iPad Pro with customised playlist.
EV Everse battery-powered 8” speaker.
Sennheiser digital wireless microphones for speeches and announcements.
For background music, speeches, or announcements away from the dance floor, I use a discreet, portable PA system. It delivers clear sound for daytime or early-evening events without the need for a full club setup.
For these moments, I use an Electro Voice Everse 8 battery-powered speaker with a Sennheiser digital wireless microphone system. The Everse 8 is easy to carry, quick to set up, and easy to position. It provides clear, balanced sound for background music, speeches, and announcements, and, along with the Sennheiser microphones, you have the freedom to move without cables.
-
2 x RCF ART 912-A 2100W 12” speakers.
RCF ART 905-AS MK3 2200W 15” subwoofer.
I use a professional, club-quality RCF sound system that delivers clear, confident audio with ease. It is a highly capable setup, offering up to 6400 watts of peak power with the presence, depth and control needed to support a genuine dance floor experience.
The system features two RCF ART 912-A speakers for precise vocals, melody, and rhythm. An RCF ART 905-AS MK3 subwoofer adds controlled, powerful low end. Together, they easily handle chart, pop, and rock music. They also suit bass-driven genres like house, garage, drum and bass, and hip hop.
The result is full-frequency sound that fills the room evenly, delivering impact without harshness and creating a confident atmosphere on the dance floor.
-
6 x Ape Labs Maxi V2 Uplights.
6 x Ape Labs Neon Tubes.
2 x Ape Labs Marvel Spot Lights.
Ape Labs Connect Wireless Controller.
Professional lighting shapes the atmosphere of an event and helps energy build as the music changes. Colour and movement are controlled in real time. The lighting responds to the music's tempo and dynamics without overpowering the mood.
I use the industry-leading Ape Labs lighting system, featuring Maxi V2 Uplights, Neon Tubes and Marvel Spot Lights. Each fixture works in perfect harmony with the others, creating smooth colour transitions and immersive washes. The computer-controlled system reacts to the music's dynamics and tempo, shaping the atmosphere in real time and creating a space that feels exciting and inviting.
The Maxi V2 Uplights set the room's tone with soft, even colour. This becomes the backdrop for the evening. For the dance floor, the Neon Tubes and Marvel Spot Lights deliver vibrant colour and movement. They keep things vibrant without glare or distracting laser effects.
The lights are fully battery powered, which means the entire setup is wireless and can be placed wherever the room needs them. Another important feature of the Ape Labs lighting system is its high colour rendering, which means colours appear rich and true rather than harsh or distorted. When it comes to the aesthetic you want to create for your event, the Ape Labs lighting can be set to almost any colour palette or theme.
They are also completely flicker free, making them perfect for photographers and anyone filming the event. What you see in the room is exactly how it will be captured in photographs and video, without unwanted artefacts or distortion.
Overall, this is industry-leading lighting that enhances any room and feels immersive, with colour accuracy that is unmatched, looks rich in person and photographs beautifully.
MATCH THE LOOK & FEEL OF YOUR EVENT
velvet dj booth
The DJ booth is an essential piece of furniture, but it doesn’t have to look technical. The velvet curtain DJ booth is designed to fit comfortably in a wide range of spaces, from modern venues to more traditional settings, bringing depth, texture, and a considered visual presence.
A velvet finish softens the setup, creating a look that feels classic, confident and well-balanced within the setting. Details matter, and the booth can be styled to complement the tone and atmosphere of your event.
Velvet has long been associated with spaces of performance and occasion. The booth follows that tradition, adding a familiar visual language that subtly elevates the environment without diverting attention from the event itself.
Choose from a curated range of four velvet curtain colours to suit your setting:
Midnight Black - A deep, timeless black that brings elegance and drama to any room.
Royal Purple - An iconic, statement purple that brings confidence and rebellious artistic flair.
Dusty Mink - A subtle, luminous neutral that works beautifully in light or classic interiors.
Verde Chartreuse - A modern, vibrant green with a striking contemporary edge.
-
If your event has a specific colour palette or visual identity, the DJ booth can be styled to match. A custom velvet curtain allows the setup to blend seamlessly with your chosen aesthetic. Custom colours are available on request.
-
A bespoke neon-style sign serves as a strong visual focal point for the booth. It can feature names, a brand, or a short phrase that reflects the event's tone. The sign is yours to keep after the event.
-
A bespoke laser-cut acrylic sign brings a sleek, modern highlight to the booth. Available in mirrored or classic gloss finishes and a range of colours, it can feature names, a brand, or a simple phrase that reflects the event's vibe. The sign is also yours to take away after use.
