Please note for large venues with capacities of 500+ or Marquees, we will need to ask
you some more technical questions before we can give you an accurate quotation.
The AC Roadshow has a computer based booking system which tracks our customers
booking from inquiry to completion.
All bookings are handled
in the same way:
- Customer inquiry by
e-mail, phone or fax.
- Booking is made by AC
Roadshow taking details and entering them on our computer. These include
name & address of the person making the booking, telephone number,
date of event, venue, type of event, start and finish times.
- The customer is then
sent by post, a letter of confirmation and a booking form.
- The customer must check
the booking form and return it in the envelope provided to complete
the booking
- On receipt of the completed
booking form, the customers details are confirmed on the computer and
the booking is complete.
- The computer files are
backed up weekly and all bookings are hand written into a diary.
There are some very important
things to consider when booking the AC Roadshow.
When selecting your venue
for the party or event, think about access. The Roadshow has nearly 1
tonne of equipment, It is unlikely that we will accept the booking if
the venue is upstairs and there is no lift available. We can however provide
smaller mobile discos better suited if you really want the venue.
We need an hour to get into the venue and set up. This time can be reduced
if access is good and we are familiar with the venue.
If you are booking a band as well as a disco think about the amount of
space available and where you are going to put the band and disco.
Many venues are limited to 13amp sockets for power. If you want a big
show with lots of lights, you need lots of power and special plugs. For
example, for a big sound and lighting system you will need a 3 phase 63amp
supply for the lighting and a separate 63 amp single phase supply for
the sound. Sound complicated? We can advise you.
If you are planning to use a marquee for your event, power, lights, access,
staging and more needs careful consideration. Talk to us first.
Keep the DJ informed about your event. A running schedule, a list of who's
who, a playlist or any useful information that will let the DJ know what
to expect during the night will help the night run smoothly.
For family events such as weddings, 21sts etc. If you want your party
to finish on a high note whilst all your guests are still around, avoid
finishing the event too late. Midnight to 12:30am from our experience
is the best time to finish, after that people get tired and drift away
and the event tends to fade to a close.
