Contact Sparx Entertainment now to book your favourite artists, entertainment and special acts before they are booked up for your special day or ask us any question you might have to make sure you will have the perfect artists and entertainment for your event.
When you've chosen your artists and entertainment you can contact us via phone and email. We will check with the artists and providers if they are available and send over their quote including the travel costs and any other costs. When you are happy with all the details we will send over an invoice for the deposit and a booking contract with the terms and conditions. After the deposit has been received and the signed contract has been returned you have booked your artists and entertainment and everything is good to go.
When booking an artist or entertainment option we ask for a 35% deposit. The outstanding amount can be transferred up to one month before the event.
All payments would need to be made via bank transfer, no other payment methods are accepted.
We don't charge VAT on top of the prices.
Once the booking is confirmed we will send over the contact details of the chosen artists so you can get in touch with them directly to discuss your music preferences, timings and final details of the day.
We offer a wide range of services ranging from DJs to live musicians such as vocalists, violinists, percussionists and saxophonists.
We also offer additional entertainment services such as dance floors, photo booths and LED decoration.
Every artist or service can be hired for as long as you need them and they are available for any part of the event.
We are fortunate to have several fabulous artists who are able to offer two services in one, Sax & DJ and Percussion & DJ.
They will jump on their sax or percussion after they've mixed in a new song to perform the best solos and hype up the crowd. They can also put on a pre-recorded mix of a few songs in a row so they can join the dance floor for a bit longer.
All of our artists will provide all the necessary equipment, such as a PA system when booking a live artist, or a full setup including a sound system, lighting and a DJ booth when booking one of our DJs.
Some of our artists are also able to provide additional PA systems when booking them for various parts of an event which they can set up in various locations of a venue so music can be played at all times when required.
All of our artists are more than happy to take requests beforehand and even during the event itself to create a hand tailored playlist for every customer.
Our live musicians have large repertoire lists from which you are able to choose songs and they are also always willing to learn a few new songs.
The music library of our DJs ranges throughout all genres of music and you are more than welcome to send them a request list of maximum 75 songs beforehand.
When cancelling a booking within 24 hours after confirming the booking, you will get a full refund of the deposit minus 15% administration costs. If the cancellation takes place past the 24 hours after confirming the booking, the booking deposit will be non-refundable
When cancelling between 180 - 91 days before the event, 50% of the outstanding balance will be due.
When cancelling between 90-61 days before the event, 75% of the outstanding balance will be due.
When cancelling within 60 days before the event, 100% of the outstanding balance will be due.
When an artist cancels due to illness or other unforeseen circumstance we will help to find you the right replacement artist as soon as possible. If you are not happy with the replacement artist you will get a full refund.
It would be great if there could be unlimited soft drinks and a meal available for the artists and entertainment providers.
Even when they are only there to perform for a couple of hours, it is often still a long day as they also need to travel to the location, set up and take down again after.
For our DJs we usually ask for 1.5 hours setup time, which gives all of our DJs more than enough time to set everything up, tidy up and do a quick sound check.
When a live musician performs together with a DJ they usually arrive 1 hour - 30 minutes beforehand as they only need to plug in a microphone. When they perform as a solo artist they will arrive roughly an hour beforehand so they can set up their PA system and do a sound check.
Additional entertainment services will arrive between 1.5 - 1 hour beforehand depending on how much they need to set up.
All timings regarding setup and take down can be discussed directly with the artists and entertainment providers after the booking is confirmed.
All of our artists are able to travel all over the globe to perform at events.
Some of our artists are even able to provide equipment for events all over the UK and the western part of Europe (Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Northern Italy, Northern Spain, Germany, Switserland, Austria).
When the event will be beyond travel distance by car are artists can fly to the destination. However, when flying, equipment such as sound, lighting and DJ equipment would need to be arranged by the client (or venue).
