The show
Ten years across clubs, pubs and private events means the crowd gets read as the night goes, not decided in advance. There are no rigid pre-made playlists here. TUX bridges the generations in the room, which at a wedding is the actual job, keeping the twenty year olds and the grandparents on the same dance floor. Communication beforehand is direct and low fuss, and on the day he coordinates with your venue and your other suppliers so the running order holds together.
On the day
Somewhere between an hour and 90 minutes alone in the space before guests turn up, so the gear can come in, get calibrated and be sound checked properly. A flat, stable, dry surface of roughly 3 metres by 3 metres. Outdoors, overhead shelter such as a marquee or a solid roof, since sun and weather are hard on digital audio gear. At least two independent 10 amp outlets within 10 metres. And a clear path from the loading area, including a lift or ramp if it's not on the ground floor.
Performance options
The DJ package covers any genre you want, relaxed lounge through classic throwbacks to club tracks, and it comes with a pair of professional column arrays, lighting over the floor and a wireless mic, plus a portable column that can cover a second room if you need one. Separately there's instrumental guitar, which is stripped back and suits ceremonies, background music and cocktail hour. The electric version plays vocal melodies over piano backing tracks; the acoustic one is fingerpicked arrangements.
