PARTIES 4 ALL RETURNS!!

Last year we ran our Parties 4 All scheme, where to try and battle the Cost of Living Crisis we provided several kids parties completely free of charge both for recently bereaved kids and families close to the poverty line.

I greatly believe every kid deserves a special day and parents/carers shouldn't have to bankrupt themselves to do so. At a time where it can often feel like greed and cuts to services are the norm, I love to show that we don't have to accept it. So we are offering 2 kids parties completely free of charge to anyone going through a tough period.

Parties include a full 2 hours of:

- Full Disco Set Up
- Several Super Fun Kids games hosted by Rik
- Both Glow Parties and Karaoke are available if requested

If you think your child or anyone you know would benefit from a free party please get in touch here or by texting 07595 447905.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

So recently I've been thinking about why I do what I do and thought I would jot a few thoughts down about parties and the hard work that goes into them.

Sadly in the entertainment industry often things can boil down to money. DJ's can take bookings and flake at the last minute for better paying gigs. It may sound like I'm trying to convince, but that is very much NOT the case for me.

If you book me as your DJ for your event that is a solid steel lock. It's a professional agreement that I will attend your event:

- ON TIME/EARLY

- WILL PROVIDE A FANTASTIC ATMOSPHERE TAILORED TO YOUR TASTES (YES THIS INCLUDES REQUESTS!)

- I DO NOT CHARGE FOR TRAVEL, TIME SPENT SETTING UP OR PACKING DOWN

- THE PRICE AGREED IS THE PRICE YOU PAY

These sound like simple things, but you'd be surprised at how often integrity is broken and people forget who the important people are and that is YOU, the customer.

So take this as my John Wayne solid gold word that should you book DJ Rik and the Wheels of Steel you are getting a highly professional, knowledgeable and above all friendly service and we will ALWAYS go out of our way to give you the best event possible 😊
