I don't have any buffet food any more - even when told to help my self, I just feel weird and out of place eating while working and somebody will always come up to ask for a song just as you've bitten in to an egg sandwich. Also at most due's the whole family has chipped in the night before making the sarnie’s, it's a real bad recipe for food poisoning. I stick to the mrs making me dinner before work and 1 packet of salted and dry roasted peanuts with a pint of redbull and lemonaid mixed (and yes no alchol http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/nono.gif whilst djing).

I undersatnd chris but if you get a 18th or 30th party they proberly don't want to pay £200 out so I discount them to £160 to take the booking but if its a wedding they will expect to pay this and want all the qualities, reliablity and performance. Its like a bonus to have a wedding and by the way a wedding includes video caputre of the dance floor and guest's on dvd afterwards!

Weddings are ace you can put a bit extra £ on cus it's their special day! as Gary said there is always loads of future bookings at any disco you do, there seems to be no "what im i getting for my money in a disco" for the person booking it's just are you free on and How much. before you answer the how much say what you offer....Video wall, bubble machine, balloon modeling.....etc, this is a good one if you have PPL say "That in cludes Insurace cover upto 1.2 m". At most due's I find nobody does any thing till after the buffet and some dutch stuff has kicked in. But I find entertaining the

Star Cloth, well I made my own from black felt for the front. 1st layer make loads of holes in it ( I did 200) and put light blue LED's in it from *EDITED BY ADMIN* try to copy from a star book so it look's like the nights sky start with the North star in the middle of the cloth. Then glue gun the led's in place leaveing the wire legs to be soldered, solder in groups of 3 (Get the + and - the right way round) so you balance the power out. Tidy the wire up with glue gun or black tape, then add the silky backing Seal the edges with velcro in case you need to fix anything later, connect a 12v 1.5
