A: To, djdarrenjewell.com
"we are getting married Saturday 23 August, in Priston Mill Barn with 150 guests please can we have a quote?"
This is peak-season so we would add more travel time/2+ hours, & with 150 guests its a borderline number between our Classic-Disco, Or Part-Premium Show?
The quote would be something like this:
Based on a disco setup time 6-7pm, disco playing time 7pm-midnight: Classic-Disco: £495, Or Part-Premium Show £575, by booking Darren from this his website directly he has given a discount on the part-premium show because it is more suited for the venue room size, roof height, & if all your 150 guests all want to dance at once our part-premium show will do this with ease, Or if you wanted to WOW! everyone our "Rustic Full Premium Show with mood-uplighting & Dj booth heart" the quote would be £695, pictured below in Coombe Lodge.
B: To, djdarrenjewell.com
"we are getting married Monday 12 January in Clevedon Hall, with 75 guests. how much would a disco & photo-pod be?"
This is off-peak as midweek & January, also the venue is 20 minuets away.
We would do the cheapest quote base on disco setup 6-7pm, disco playing time 7pm-midnight, the photo-pod/compact wooden boxes/cases pod is self-service (saving £130 as no operator needed), & open 6pm-midnight.
Quote: £585 including the Classic Disco, Or £625 including the part-premium show if you prefer that look (it will sound better in the room/higher clarity).
C: To, djdarrenjewell.com
"we are getting married Saturday 19 July in the Roman Baths/Bath with 150 guests, how much would a disco cost?"
This is peak-season & the venue has very bad access/parking issues so we would add on more money, as extra time & care is needed. Booking from this webpage we would only quote for our part-premium or preferably our premium show in this venue due to the room sizes/ballroom size, high ceiling height, & room harmonics.
Quote: Part-Premium Show £685, Full-Premium Show £750, If you wanted to add the mirrorball & our mood-uplighting that can change colour during your night eg. white first dance & wedding breakfast, after 11pm blue etc. extra £25.
Note: Darren only increased the price £25 from the Part-premium show to the Full premium show, as he thinks the full-premium show should be booked.
Our prices are worked out on equipment booked, working hours/prep-paperwork-on your day/night, & what venues suggest we charge for our services.

Frequently Worked Venues:
djdarrenjewell.com bookings:
Darren's Dj style is very "musical" especially on "open format" (play anything bookings).
We prefer to use Native Instruments as convert your songs into "4 stems" containing the music eg. percussion, bass, melody, & vocals, so this means we can create more dance floor energy when needed, & smoother transitions between songs as can create a "live remix" (we do the things music producers do in the studio, but live) but always in keeping with your playlist/music guidelines. Some very famous Dj's do use Traktor to do the Dj prep-work, then convert it to use on Pioneer/alpha theta playing equipment, but Darren prefers the Native Instruments controllers as 4 stems per deck/long volume slider & filer adjustment per stem, not 3 stem system pioneer uses.
Pictured: Native S4 Mk3 controller, & 4x F1 stems controllers (one F1 per deck).
This system requires lots of song/track prep work before bookings hence we ask for a short playlist/music guidelines.
We find photographers especially at weddings are intrigued by our Dj'ing setup & film it,
this is because they most probably have not seen anything like it, & Darren mixes using stems as its a completely different way & sound (mixing like a record producer flowing-introducing bits of the next track eg. bass synth, not Dj/tension drops/cut-drop), some festival Dj's will load 1 stem from a song on a CDJ & other stems on other CDJ's so it looks cool with them jumping around, Darren just does the same using this little box.
All the music you put on your playlist will be the versions you stipulate or the original versions, we don't play "made for the Dj" versions as if you listen to them sober they don't sound right eg. different musical key, or forced into time (it sounds very odd).
