PLEASE COMPARE US
     

One question often asked is how much? Are we the cheapest? Our own market research tells us the answer is NO. A large number of DJ's are single, part-time operators normally specialising in Techno, Club and House etc. Dealings are usually cash only! When it comes to a Wedding or a Corporate Function they have little or no idea. We are a professional, full time company with several full time staff and we specialise in Weddings and Corporate entertainment. We also take pride in ensuring that your function runs smoothly and that all tastes are catered for.

 

We are more than happy to be your Master of Ceremonies and your DJ. This way we can co-ordinate all of your requirements and blend them with the requirements of your function centre.

 

In our Corporate Packages our Black Tie MC and Awards Night Packages include this service and consequently there is no hidden extra charge.

IMPORTANT - PPCA LICENSES & PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

A PPCA license is required by an operator for the public broadcast of all music. A professional operator will have this license, which covers the collection and distribution of royalties to the performers. Operators not holding a PPCA license will be subject to heavy fines and may have their equipment turned off during a function - this could be yours! Ask your operator to quote their license number or for further information contact the PPCA on 02 9267 7996

It is important that your operator is covered for Public Liability Insurance. Many venues demand that a minimum cover of $5 million is held. At Black Tie Events we hold $10million cover. Ask to see the cover note from your DJ.
CD BURNING
Our standard business policy is NOT to accept Compact Discs that have been burnt. Some clients offer to supply CD's in case a required song is not in our library. These are most welcome but the CD’s must be the originals. It is illegal for us to play pirated copies under any circumstances.
