At DJ KNIGHT MUSIC we will work closely with you to ensure all of your musical preferences are met to the very best standard. Our DJs have the skill in reading audiences, therefore once we are given a brief of the guests that will be attending, they can work out the best playlist to create and work our magic!
7. Confirm Equipment and Setup:
Depending on your venue, it may or may not have all the required equipment such as DJ decks, sound system and lighting capabilities. If you are unsure you can discuss this with us for clarity. Make sure to confirm setup and take down times to ensure a smooth transition without disruptions.
