  1. My parents think we need a band to entertain the various age groups at our reception.

This is understandable - discos are often linked to loud, modern music which is of little or no interest to your older aged guests.  However, when you book FLASHBACKDISCOS.COM we span all the ages and carry a wide selection of music to enable us to cater to the various tastes in music which your guests will have.  More than this, we engage with your guests by dressing professionally and talking with them in an "MC" style, rather than shouting down a microphone at them.

In fact, people comment frequently that they don't know how we managed to have everyone up dancing together and for such a long time ... and yet, they could still talk.  We normally do the full night's entertainment;  but often, when we do come on after a band, people who have left the hall because the music was too loud or not to their taste, return.

Don't get us wrong;  we have nothing against bands - but we do against entertainment that does not treat your very special night in a caring professional way.

  1. Why do you not entertain people coming to view you at weddings ?

This is an important question - Please see our Privacy statement !

  1. Do you supply playlists ?

Generally, no.  However, we always talk in advance with our couples to see if they have any special requirements.  We select our music based on the guests in front of us.

  1. I notice in your brochure that you have signs on stage.  Are these always displayed ?

Yes and this is to highlight the fact to your guests, that you have booked a professional company to provide your entertainment - this also dresses our stage very well.

  1. What are your Standard, Premium and Platinum packages ?

Don't be fooled by this - our price includes sound, lights, selected music, professional dress ware, a radio microphone and any requests such as, throwing the Bouquet, etc..

  1. Do you liaise with the hotel ?

Don't be fooled by this again - hotels are always willing and anxious to make sure we have everything we need - thirty seconds talking to a professional Hotel Manager can sort out anything.

  1. Do you need a deposit ?

Yes, we do because the service we provide is not an agency - it is on a booking by calendar date, which means that when we accept a booking that date is no longer available to anyone else.  Therefore, if we have no deposit the date is not secured.

  1. Will you come on after a specialist band, like a tribute band ?

Yes - but on a good number of occasions, we start the evening because we can cater for all tastes in music before their type.  Also, it is usually left to us to ensure that the Bouquet is thrown, the arches are done, etc..
