Hi, i'm Gary and thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read about Mara DJ Services. I am based in Warrington Cheshire, and I have a person-centred approach to all my client's celebration requirements. In my price structure, I have no hidden extras, everything I do and provide is in the price. Additionally, if I travel more than 20-miles, I will include fuel within the quote.
My services comprises of providing a range of celebration parties, weddings, fundraising events as awell as childrens parties with balloon modelling, and I can provide prizes for the games too (If required).
For me, its important to have the conversation with potential clients around your needs for your special occasion, it doesn't matter if its a brithday party, to a wedding day or a charity fundraiser, no stone is left un-turned. I always make sure your song playlist, and everything you ask for, is there for you on your special day!
I have public liability insurance, worth £10million, a DBS and my equipment has been P.A.T tested.
The location venue will ensure adequate access to the performance area and a minimum set-up space of 4m wide by 2.5m deep by 3 m in height. We also require 2 x 13 amp power sockets within 5m of the DJ set-up area, and one parking space.
"We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue."
Yes, I provide all the Sound systems and lighting for my DJ set-up which has been fully PAT tested and have public liability insurance.
I can provide music before and after sets, but not via Spotify, as it's not a licensed music provider, I use Tidal to stream any songs and requests in my set. I always my clients what songs they would like to hear on the night, but I am also happy to choose myself.
In 2024, I was invited to be the DJ for a fundraiser for a young man who has a brain tumour in Warrington, we had a fantastic night, and from that I was booked to do two more events for the family.
I love all types of gigs, but I do enjoy weddings, this is where I can provide led foam batons, and everyone loves to dance at a wedding.
My love for music started in the 70s, listening to Motown, Mod, Northern Soul and Country through my parents. In the 80s as a teenager became a breakdancer and hip hop. I started doing mixes on an Amstrad hifi, yes a hifi, but then in the 90s, getting married and having children put a pause on my dream. Mara DJ services was born in Covid as my father was on life support, and he was the one who made me realise I only have one life and need to do something I enjoy and that's music. Mara is my children's first to letters of their names, and since Covid I have gone from strength to strength always learning on the way.
This is great question, there are so many great artists that I incorporate into my sets, but one DJ that has influenced me has been DJ Jazzy Jeff, especially when I heard him transform scratch in the 80s, I always mix The fresh prince with Montell Jordan's 'This is how we do it'.
I like to be at the venue at least 2 hours before to set-up before the start of the event, usually parties start at 7/7:30pm and finish around midnight, which then gives me an hour to take down.
Yes, I have performed outside before, I bring my own gazebo and I ask for a power supply close to the performance area.
I always ask the clients what they would like me to play at their event, and requests are taken on the night too.
Previous customers have said what a great night they have had, and the music was spot on.
