“We found the DJ played a really good mix of music which catered for everyone. He dealt with the huge amount of requests very well. Over all we found Feel Good Events very good to deal with, you understood how nervous we were and took the time to discuss things in full with us. thankyou.” Carly and Jason
MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC, is the most important thing in determining whether you or your guests have a good time at your function. The main reason for having a party is to celebrate an occasion and the right music is the key to that celebration
being an enjoyable one.Feel Good Events lets you choose the music, lets you choose what sort of lighting you want, lets you make requests and lets you determine how much you want to pay. The average Australian couple getting married spends anywhere between $10,000 to $40,000 on a typical wedding, and yet people are willing to waste all that money by hiring bad or cheap entertainment. If the DJ doesn’t play the music you like or play your guests requests or doesn’t have a good selection to choose from, you and your guests will have a disappointing night. Are you willing to risk good memories just to save a few dollars on the entertainment?
The good news is if you have no idea about music but only know that you want everyone to have a good time, our professional DJ’s are trained to play the right music to get people dancing. So you have nothing to worry about. Feel Good Events focus’s on the music and what you want, not on how great our equipment is or how great the DJ is. If the DJ plays all your favourite songs and gets everyone dancing you will think he or she is great anyway. Feel Good Events has the experience to entertain you and your guests as we have quality DJ’s with experience from 2 years to 20 years. Feel Good Events plays at 450 to 500 functions every year ,entertaining approximately 36,000 people ages 5 to 85.
You will love the music played at your party because you and your guests will get to choose it.
If you have any queries pleasedon’t hesitate to contact our office.
Thank you for your interest in our service.

Warning not all D.J Companies are the same!
We have clients telling us all the time how they have had DJ’s before that didn’t play any music that they liked, that they requested songs and the D.J. refused to play them, that they showed up 5 minutes before the party is about to start or even worse the D.J got drunk and started harassing the guests. We get a lot of people ringing up last minute because the DJ is a one man show, got sick or double booked and left them stranded with no entertainment for one of there most important events in there life.
There is a big difference in the service provided by a lot of D.J. companies. Some use old warn out equipment with boring
lighting, poor sound quality with equipment that just looks tacky. Some use DJ’s who haven’t had enough experience and have no idea on how to read a crowd. The biggest complaint we get about other companies is that they didn’t have the music we wanted or they didn’t have the latest songs. So it pays to know what you are getting. The entertainment you hire reflects on you.

Venues
Small venues work better every time. They create a lot more atmosphere even if you have a small number of guests. Big venues will kill it every time if there isn’t a lot of people. If you have a large venue chosen, look at how you could make it smaller with the option of opening it up when more people arrive. Bigger isn’t always better.
From experience count on about 20 – 30% of your guests not coming. This is not the case if it is a wedding.
When setting up your venue try and keep the following in mind:
At most parties a large number of people will congregate around the bar. Try and place the D.J. and dance floor in close proximity to the bar as it will keep your party together and quite often people will spill onto the dance floor and get your party started quicker.
If you are not having a sit down dinner, try and keep chairs and tables to a minimum. This will encourage people to mingle and make it feel more like a party. Cocktail parties tend to work better for this reason.
If you are having a sit down dinner, arrange your table settings so that older family and friends are furthest away from the D.J. area. This will keep your older guests happy.
With most venues having banned smoking, it has the potential of splitting your party. If possible try and keep the smoking area close to the party so that your smoking guests aren’t gone for too long.
Lighting
Lighting is very important. If it is too bright people will be reluctant to dance. Try and have dull lighting to start with and then make it darker when you want the dancing to start.The lighting we provide will create the perfect party atmosphere. If you are trying to create a certain theme please let us know so we can give you advice on the best package to pick for your party.
Unless you don’t really want a party atmosphere we strongly recommend that you book a package with lighting. People will very rarely dance under normal house lights and we only recommend the basic package for daytime functions.
Music Selection
Music selection is the most important thing in creating an atmosphere for dancing. When choosing your music try and keep in mind what music your guests will like. This will keep everyone happy. The broader your music selection the easier it will be to please your guests. To choose your music you can go to our web site and pick all your music on line. We suggest you pick as much music as you like so that we have a good range to choose from. On average the DJ would play about 75 to 80 songs in a 5 hour function. If you are not fussy about music the dj will play what he or she knows usually works best.
All our D.J.’s are fully experienced and have played at 100’s of different functions, so they are experienced at reading a crowd. When our D.J.’s are working at your function they will use your music selection and peoples requests to try and keep the dance floor full.
If you are really fussy about what music you want you can either be really specific about what you want and when or if you want your music selection played in a particular order maybe a Jukebox would be a better option. If you would like to bring some of your own cd’s to be played on the night that is fine and the DJ will be happy to play them. Our music list is just a general guide and isn’t everything that we have. All of our DJ’s have what’s on the list and more. If you are after a particular style of music played for the majority of the night, please let us know so that we can send one of our specialist DJ’s to your function.
Format
From experience we find the earlier you have your formalities completed the quicker the dancing will start. If you have your speeches later in the night, dancing will need to be stopped making it harder to get everyone going again.
Some people will wait until the speeches have finished and leave. If you have your speeches early, people will tend to stay on after the speeches as it is still early and once they start dancing and enjoying themselves will want to stay until late.
If you are getting married, enclosed is a list of suggested formats.
We hope these tips will help you and us in creating a successful party. One that you and your guests will remember for years to come.
We recommend these services as they provide a professional and friendly service at an affordable price.
