DJ setup and supplier access notes

When planning a setup at The Grange, DJs should inquire about parking and loading areas. While the exact details are not specified, it’s prudent to check if there are designated spots close to the entrance for easy access.

The Common Room, which accommodates larger gatherings, might be the main performance area for a DJ. It would be wise to confirm if there are stairs leading to this area and whether the setup space has adequate power sources. Suppliers may also want to ask about the turnaround time between spaces if multiple areas are being used.

Sound, timings and guest experience

Before finalising arrangements, DJs should confirm if there is a sound limiter in place and understand its implications for volume levels. Evening receptions often require clear communication with the venue regarding timings to avoid any potential curfew or noise restrictions.

As guests transition throughout the event, ensuring the DJ’s equipment is set up well in advance will help facilitate a seamless experience. Consideration of this factor will lead to a more enjoyable evening for everyone.
