• Do you cover Cheshire, Manchester, Liverpool and London? ›

  Yes. AO Events is based in Cheshire and regularly covers Cheshire, Staffordshire, Manchester and Liverpool, as well as the wider North West and selected venues in London and across the UK.

  Travel, accommodation and any city charges (such as congestion or ULEZ) are quoted clearly as part of your proposal. If you are unsure whether your venue is within our usual area, just include the postcode when you send an enquiry or view our Areas We Cover page.

• What types of events do you specialise in? ›

  We specialise in:

  • Weddings (daytime hosting, evening receptions and full-day production)
  • Corporate events, awards nights, staff parties and conferences
  • Private parties, milestone birthdays and celebrations
  • Brand activations, premieres and launch events

  Popular combinations include Event DJs with LED or chequered dancefloors, the 3D Infinity Dancefloor, photo booths and uplighting.

• Are you fully insured and is your equipment PAT tested? ›

  Yes. AO Events carries public liability insurance and uses PAT-tested equipment, which most hotels and venues require.

  We can provide PLI and PAT documentation for your venue, planner or corporate organiser on request. If your venue has specific health and safety requirements, mention this when you enquire.

Designed to answer the most common questions couples ask when searching for “wedding DJ Cheshire” or North West wedding entertainment.

• How much does a wedding DJ cost in Cheshire? ›

  Pricing depends on your date, venue, timings, access and the package you choose. Rather than a one-size-fits-all price, AO Events provides a tailored quote for each wedding.

  When you enquire, let us know:

  • Your venue, location and date
  • Approximate guest numbers
  • Required timings (for example 7pm–12am)
  • Whether you want DJ only, or DJ plus dancefloor, lighting or photo booth

  We’ll build a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Start on our Event DJs page.

• Can your DJs work from a playlist or take requests on the night? ›

  Yes — you can provide:

  • “Must play” songs and genres
  • “Do not play” tracks or styles
  • Key moments (first dance, last song, etc.)

  On the night, your DJ can take guest requests (within your preferences) and keep the dancefloor flowing. For ideas, see: Top Wedding First Dance Songs.

• Do you provide microphones and lighting with your wedding DJ packages? ›

  Yes. DJ setups are designed to look clean and professional, and typically include:

  • Sound system appropriate for the room size
  • DJ booth and dancefloor lighting effects
  • Microphone for announcements (if required)

  For a bigger transformation, add uplighting or an LED dancefloor.

From classic white LED to the 3D Infinity Dancefloor, these FAQs help you choose the right size and style.

• What size dancefloor do I need for my wedding or event? ›

  As a simple rule, plan space for roughly a third of your guests to be dancing at once. For example:

  • Up to ~80 guests: smaller dancefloors (e.g. 10x10, 12x12)
  • ~100–140 guests: 12x12 or 14x14 works well
  • Larger guest numbers: 14x14, 16x16 or custom layouts

  We’ll recommend a size based on your room and chosen style — 3D Infinity Dancefloor, white LED or chequered.

• What is the difference between the 3D Infinity Dancefloor and a standard LED floor? ›

  The 3D Infinity Dancefloor uses mirrored panels and programmable LEDs to create a deep “endless” effect. It’s ideal for statement weddings, luxury events, premieres and branded parties.

  A white LED dancefloor gives a clean, elegant twinkle for classic styling. A black & white chequered floor brings a retro/ballroom feel.

• Is the Infinity Dancefloor safe for heels and wedding dresses? ›

  Yes. It’s designed for events and is safe for heels and wedding dresses. We just ask that sharp objects aren’t dragged across it, and any spillages are cleaned promptly.

Ideal for anyone searching “photo booth hire near me” for weddings, parties or corporate events in Cheshire and the North West.

• Do you offer photo booth hire in Cheshire or Manchester? ›

  Yes. AO Events provides staffed photo booth hire across Cheshire, Manchester, Liverpool, Staffordshire and beyond. It’s popular for weddings, parties and corporate events where you want something fun, hosted and high-quality.

  Tell us your venue and timings and we’ll confirm the best booth setup for the space, plus any travel requirements.

• Do your photo booths come with unlimited prints? ›

  Our photo booth packages typically include unlimited visits during the hire period, prints on each visit, fun props, and a digital copy of images after the event.

  The exact package details are shown clearly on your quote.

• How much space is needed for a photo booth? ›

  As a guide we recommend:

  • A footprint of around 2m x 2m
  • Nearby power socket
  • Space for a small queue

  If your venue has a particular corner in mind, send a photo or floor plan and we’ll advise.

• Is the photo booth staffed during the event? ›

  Yes. An AO Events team member stays with the booth for the duration to assist guests, manage props and keep everything running smoothly.

Uplighting and mood lighting can completely transform a blank room into something special.

• Can your uplighting match my wedding or brand colours? ›

  Yes. Our mood lighting is colour-adjustable, so we can match or complement your wedding palette or corporate brand colours.

  Choose warm neutrals for a classic look, or bold colours to add drama around walls, pillars and features.

• How many uplighters do I need for my venue? ›

  The number depends on:

  • Room size and shape
  • Ceiling height
  • How strong you want the effect

  Share a photo or venue link and we’ll recommend a suitable package.

For event agencies and in-house teams planning conferences, awards nights and staff parties.

• Do you provide DJs and technical support for corporate events? ›

  Yes. AO Events supports awards nights, gala dinners and staff parties with:

  • Professional DJs
  • Dancefloors (including the 3D Infinity Dancefloor)
  • Event lighting and uplighting
  • Photo booths for engagement

  We work with venues and production teams to meet access times, rehearsal needs and running orders.

• Can you work with our venue or event agency on logistics and RAMS? ›

  Yes. We’re used to working with venue operations, H&S managers and event agencies. We can provide insurance, PAT and risk assessment documentation where required and will follow agreed access/strike times.

How to secure your date, what’s included and how we handle timing, access and travel.

• Can I book multiple services together, like DJ, dancefloor and photo booth? ›

  Absolutely. Many clients book a full package such as DJ, 3D Infinity or LED dancefloor, uplighting and photo booth. Bundling services keeps setup streamlined, reduces supplier overlap, and makes sure sound, lighting and dancefloor work together as one cohesive design.

• How far in advance should I book AO Events? ›

  Popular dates can book up 12–24 months in advance, especially for the 3D Infinity Dancefloor and combined DJ + dancefloor packages.

  We recommend enquiring as soon as you’ve confirmed your venue and date, even if you’re still finalising timings or services.

• How do I confirm a booking with AO Events? ›

  Once you’re happy with your quote, we send a booking form and deposit details. Your date is confirmed when:

  • The booking form has been completed
  • The required deposit has been received

  The remaining balance and payment schedule are set out clearly in your booking confirmation. Start via the contact page.

• When do you arrive to set up and how long does it take? ›

  Setup time depends on what you’ve booked and venue access. A DJ + small dancefloor installs faster than a full 3D Infinity floor, uplighting and multiple feature points.

  We agree access times with you and the venue, and typically arrive well before guest arrival or room turnaround to avoid disruption.

• Do you charge extra for travel, parking or London events? ›

  Any travel, accommodation, parking, congestion or ULEZ charges are listed clearly on your quote. These are separate from hire pricing and ensure safe delivery and access, especially in city-centre and London locations.
