Frequently Asked Questions
What do you bring to the disco? Do you provide lights?
Since these are our most commonly asked questions, we decided to dedicate a whole page to it. Please see Our Set-Up page.
What kind of music do you play? Can we make requests?
We encourage you to email your favourite songs to us 3 days before your event. If you are tech-savvy, you can also share your requests through Spotify, share the link with us, and we’ll put it all together.
How much space do I need for the party?
For home parties, most people choose an area in their home that has an open floor space. People often move furniture to create more room or temporarily clear out the garage. The area does not have to be huge.
Please ensure there is enough ceiling height for the disco host (there’s nothing worse than hitting your head on the basement ceiling over the course of a 2-hour party!)
Do I need to provide anything? What do you need from me?
- A clear floor space at least 5 – 6 sqm
- Power source eg. 1 x powerpoint
- Optional prizes for the winners of the kid’s games
- Supervision and/or crowd control
Can we host the party in the backyard or outside?
Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather so we recommend having a back-up indoor location in the event of rain. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice for weather will still incur the full charge.
Do you provide the venue?
Please visit your local council website to find what venues are for hire in your local area. If you’re in the Northern Beaches, check out: https://www.northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/community/community-centres-and-venues
Or ask me – I may know of a good hall near you.
Do you come to my area?
Please be aware that we charge more to travel to gigs that are more than 30 mins drive from the Northern Beaches, especially during ‘peak season’ so please contact us for a quote.
Do you only do kids’ birthday parties?
Do you do parties for adults as well?
Sometimes the parents have so much fun at our kids’ parties, they think “I want DJ KitKat for my 40th!” Rest assured, we play all the classics that make parties for grown-ups rock too.
How many kids can I have at the event?
This varies depending on the type of event you have booked. Please refer to our Children’s Party Package page or call me for your individual needs. Generally, the more the merrier! ☺
What ages do you cater for?
‘The Original’ DJ KitKat has been known to play at select ‘grown-up’ parties and Corporate events too.
What’s the difference between a younger kids party and an older kids party?
Do DJ KitKat parties cater for boys?
We know boys can be more competitive so we can introduce more musical games such as ‘Fortnite’ dance battles or team dance-offs if that’s what they’re into.
What games do you play? Can we choose our own?
Depending on the age-group and as requested, we are also known for our awesome girl vs boy dance-offs and dance-battles. If this is on your child’s disco wish list, please check with us to see if this is suitable for their age.
Of course, you can choose if you want/don’t want a particular game at your party/event. For example, we usually avoid elimination games for younger age-groups and have more competitive games for the older ones or none at all.
We are happy to tailor the games to suit your child’s age, gender and taste in music to maximise participation.
How many games do you play? Who provides the prizes?
Extra prizes help motivate participation in games. If you don’t have the time to organize your own, we can supply prizes at an additional cost such as LED finger-lights, funky sunglasses, colourful fishnet gloves or our new DJ KitKat caps. Please check out our Optional Extras/Prizes page.
We are also totally cool if you prefer to use our prizes as a guide only and you would like to organise your own.
How do I know my kids are safe with you?
For more details please refer to our Meet the Team page.
What is the role of the DJ KitKat entertainer?
For birthday parties, our aim is to make the birthday child feel extra special at their party.
We are skilled at controlling large groups of children however we do require the parent-hosts/event organisers to stay close by and assist with supervision/crowd control.
How can we help create an environment for a successful party?
- Clear space for the party
- Ensure food is cleared away during the disco so the children will stay focused on the dancing & games
- Serve party food halfway through the party to refuel
- Have the birthday cake ready for the end of the party
