Frequently Asked Questions
Do you play Israeli/Simcha Sets?
Yes - I can blend traditional Israeli favourites with contemporary hits for a multi-generational dancefloor. I find starting with classics such as Simon Tov, Hava Nagila and Mashiach followed by tracks like Tel Aviv, Hashem Melech and Feel the magic work amazingly across all ages. The traditional tracks in the first half of the set are a great time to get the family up on chairs and circles.
Can you announce entrances and speeches?
Yes - I host entrances and help you decide on what tracks for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah to walk into the room with. I can also recommend songs for the friend's speeches and other moments of the night.
Do you bring mics and sound for speeches?
I usually bring a minimum of 2 wireless microphones for speeches and a sound-system if required, there is also the option to add more mics if necessary. Some venues have sound and microphones in-house which can save on cost.
Can you supply dancers or DJ Live?
Absolutely - DJ + live musicians, dancers and full production on request.
How do you keep kids and adults engaged?
During the dancing, I always encourage guests to join the dancefloor and help create a great atmosphere - especially if people are a little shy at first. For quieter moments, such as the drinks reception, I keep the music light so everyone can comfortably talk and mingle. If the kids need entertainment during the longer main-course period, I can provide a silent disco or recommend trusted games providers to keep them engaged while your adult guests enjoy their meal.
Are you insured and PAT tested?
Yes - PLI up to £10m and PAT-tested equipment.
