Your Party Night Mobile Disco - Party Planner Guide

What is the party for?

This may seem a very strange question but it is important to establish this point at the very start as this can determine the location, food, music, guests to invite and the type of entertainment to have that is appropriate for your intended party.

Where to hold the party?

Back To Top Of Page

If only a few people will attend your party, it is possible to hold the event in your home (ensure that you invite the neighbours though). Any event in which you are planning to have more than 15 people attending (including kids) is best held in a local hall, pub, club or hotel. The advantages of a location out with your home include mess control and the larger area to allow people to "mingle" and dance (and allow the kids to go mad).

When booking a venue for your party or event, make sure that they have facilities that meet your requirements and the needs of your guests. For example, some venues where alcohol is sold, may not allow children to be on the premises after 8:00pm. Other venues may have apprehensions for hosting under 21's parties. Also check with venue operators if they have facilities to accommodate for anyone attending your party who may be disabled or elderly. Although this has recently become a legal requirement, many venues may not yet be able to have such facilities, especially for older buildings.

Please be aware that some venue operators may require a deposit when you arrange a booking for your event. This helps to secure your booking.

Which entertainment should we have?

Back To Top Of Page

Obviously as a mobile disco company, we would always recommend ourselves to entertain you and your guests, as we can play any type of music you require. We understand that occasionally a disco is NOT the best option and we are willing to list other alternative entertainment options (some of these can be held in conjunction with a disco).

Please note that some of the other entertainers that we list may require a deposit - which is usually non-refundable.

What do we do about food & refreshments?

Back To Top Of Page

Food and Drink are probably the most important aspects of any party or event, especially at an official function such as a wedding. The decisions are endless - whether to have a buffet or a set meal, whether to organise the food yourself or get a caterer to provide everything.

If your party or event is held within a hotel or pub, the landlord or manager of the establishment can usually provide a buffet at a reasonable cost per head (some do so free of charge, depending on the number of people attending).

Also make sure that you advise the supplier of the food (even if it is you) about any special requirements or needs that you and your guests may have (e.g. vegans, vegetarians or religious abstinence).

Ensure that you (or your caterer) has arranged transport of the food to your event.

You should agree a time to serve your food with your caterer and also advise your entertainer before the guests arrive.

If you have been landed the task of providing the buffet, remember you are here to enjoy yourself too. Request help from other family members to ensure that things run smoothly and also to remove the plates and rubbish after people have finished eating (kids are a great help for this).

Liquid Refreshments are a must (whether alcoholic or not). If your event is in a hotel or pub there is no problem, your guests can buy what they require, However if your party or event is in a hall you should consider whether "guests bring their own" or hire in a mobile bar. Both are easy to organise and you should advise your guests (on the invitations) if they are required to supply their own drink.

What about a cake?

Back To Top Of Page

The cake plays an important part in many events, especially birthdays and weddings. Your caterer may be able to provide this. Alternatively, you can buy ready-made cakes from supermarkets, shops, bakers and specialist cake suppliers.

Some cake suppliers can even provide an image from a photograph (which you supply) on the cake's icing. Ensure that you give your chosen supplier plenty of time to make and decorate the cake to your specifications.

How Will We Get Home After The Party?

Back To Top Of Page

It is often best to make arrangements to get home before you go to a party or event, as getting a taxi on the night may prove difficult and will probably require a very long wait.

For some occasions, it may be best to have a coach or coaches to transport considerable numbers of guests to and from the party or event.

Where can I Hire Fancy Dress & Buy Party Supplies?

Back To Top Of Page

Fortunately, there are several "party shops" that specialise in selling and hiring party merchandise, including fancy dress costumes, balloons, banners, hats, crackers, party poppers, streamers etc.

Remember, when hiring fancy dress costumes for Halloween, it may be necessary to book these several weeks or months in advance, to save disappointment, due to large demand at this time of year.
