Can we add the props / photo backdrops to our party?
Yes but only if they are still available and not already booked out for another function, the best time to book our extra services is at the time of your booking.
Our props and backdrops are specifically designed and made by an artist for SouthSound making them a one off.
An extra charge may be payable to add these to your evening, the extra amount will be explained to you and confirmed in writing.

Do you rent out just the equipment so we can plug in our phones for music
No.
All of our discos are supplied with experienced DJ's who entertain and constantly work the floor to maximise your dance floor as well as many more things that smart phones are unable to do - We also cannot plug phones into our equipment to play songs from your device during functions.

How far in advance do we need to book you for our wedding?
The simple answer is as soon as possible, usually when you book your venue is best. We take a small deposit to book the date.
We usually get booked for weddings around 18 months - 2 years in advance.

Do we need to feed & supply drinks to the DJ?
This isn't vital but it's always very much appreciated.
A DJ at a wedding will usually load up their vehicle around 9am, travel to the venue and start setting up equipment around midday then are on their feet supplying music without any break for around 12 hours + until the party has long finished.
A soft drink or a meal on the go is always appreciated, usually the bar is 3 or 4 deep with people waiting so we are unable to queue at the bar to be served before the song that is playing has finished.

Can I submit my own playlist to you?
We advise that you keep your playlist to around 15 / 20 songs maximum as we like to ensure a fair balance of music and respond to requests made at your function.
Longer playlists prevent the DJ from using his skills & experience to get the most out of your party.
Please note:- We do not accept "Full Night Playlists", experience has proved that they do not work and an empty dance floor is quite often the result.

I'd like you to play a bit longer than we booked you for, is this a problem?
