Key Points of the booking contract

Please refer to the full booking contract.

Reservation Fee – Only once a reservation fee has been paid is your booking secure.

Full Payment– The remainder of the balance must be paid before the event starts.

Cancellation – with the exception of acts of god or natural disaster your deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel within 14 days of your booking part payment must be paid. We do chase these payments and through the small claims court if necessary.

Setting up and Packing away – (Due to health and safety laws) We require safe parking access to load and unload our vehicle, this must be well lit and free from any obstruction. If there is no onsite parking, the booker will be liable for all parking costs incurred for the duration of the booking.

Behavior – The hirer agrees to provide adequate supervision of guests and will ensure that venue management adequately supervises customers and or staff on-site premises. Please note: Where the function may include guests under the age of 16 years, the client, (or parent) is responsible for the behavior and safety of any minors attending the venue. The client will provide and maintain adequate adult supervision at all times. Starlight Party will not be liable for the supervision of minors. Unwarranted Abuse or threatening behavior from the hirer, hirer’s guests, venue management, or venue staff will not be tolerated and will result in the performance being terminated with no loss to the DJ or Starlight Party. The hirer agrees that compensation for any loss of or damage to performing DJ’s equipment, vehicle(s), or personal belongings caused by the hirer’s guests, venue customers, and or venue staff may be sought including any additional costs.

Use of DJ Equipment – Starlight Party does not allow guests or clients to MC, Rap, Sing Songs or use the microphones, connect phones, tablets, or laptops to the mixer or PA unless a prior agreement has been made. (Additional Charges may apply)

Winter Bookings – We by law have to follow the weather safety advice from the police and environment agency. If weather warnings are issued and it’s too dangerous to travel we may have to cancel your booking at short notice. We will only ever do this at the last resort, if we can not get to the venue, chances are your guests would not either. Please ensure our loading and unloading area is free of ice and snow, again health and safety laws will not allow our staff to load or unload equipment in dangerous conditions.

Playlists and Song Requests – As a rule, we do not accept playlists, a good DJ reads the room and plays music appropriate to the guests present. However we do encourage you to supply a list of songs you would like played (a maximum of 15), we will try but not guarantee to play them (unless first dance, a special song, etc). We will also accept requests from the guests at the party, again we do not always play them as they might not be appropriate or we do not have them.

Please Remember – Your DJ is only human and should not have to take any abuse because he won’t play a song when requested or is playing a song that someone does not like. Also, don’t forget your DJ is at your party before, during, and after your party finishes, it’s always encouraged to offer refreshments where available.
