I used mobydisc in qld for a jukebox hire. Extremely professional, reliable and hassle free. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend

I used Mobydisc for my 50h Birthday and they were fantastic. Staff made it easy to hire the DJ and he was amazing. I hardly had to suggest any songs as he somehow knew what me and my guests were into. My family and friends commented on how good the choice of music was and how fun the night was. Was going to use Spotify but this was WAY much better and it's always good using a real person. 5 Stars.

Nothing ever goes a 100% according to plan when it comes to a wedding, but if there is one regret that we have from our wedding, it was hiring a dj, or maybe hiring a dj through Mobydisc. Not only was neither myself or John happy, there was a lot of complaints from just about everyone at the wedding - either about the music being played, the volume of the music, or the fact that the dj was yelling through the mic.

Firstly, I sent the dj a timeline with further information - when and by who grace will be said, when and by who speeches will be done, when the first dance will be, when the cake cut will be and we asked him to mc. He did not once make an announcement without me having to get up out of my chair, and going over to ask him - "Can you please announce grace will be said by Johan", "Can you please announce that speeches will be happening", "Can you please announce the first dance", which was really frustrating as the last thing I wanted to do was check my watch constantly. There were one or two last minute changes as far as speeches go so I pulled him aside before we walked into reception, I told him the new order and the extra people that will be making a speech and I asked him if he needs to write it down but he assured me he's very good with names and he'll remember. Needless to say - he stuffed up when he announced people to come up to make a speech.

Secondly, the dj did not play songs or music that we discussed. I gave Gerard certain songs that needed to be played at certain times - first dance and dance with father was fine, but he didn't play the song I chose for the bridal party walk-in. He only started playing it after John and I had already entered the building and I very specifically asked him to play it for the entry of the entire bridal party. I also asked him to play something relaxing, maybe even acoustic early in the evening whilst people are having entrees and mains and I actually had to get up out of my chair whilst entree was being served to ask him to change the music because it was some loud and annoying dance beat that no one could talk over. I also emailed him a list of longs telling him it'll be great to hear that throughout the night and also to give him an idea of what we like and prefer for the evening and he played maybe 10 songs from the list of 40 I gave him, and this was after I myself asked him several times if he could please play some of the music that I selected. A lot of people complained about the music he was playing. He was quick to say he was playing music that guests requested but one guest requested songs twice, and even that was better than what he was playing at the time.

Thirdly, he did not control the volume well at all. I asked him several times to turn down the music, as did my dad and he refused. We actually had people grab bottles of wine and walk outside because the music was so loud and obnoxious inside.

And last but not least, we were meant to pay him $310 cash for the outstanding balance. As you can imagine things can be a bit crazy on the day of your wedding and I never got around to getting change for a $20, so I hoped for the best that he would have some change. John went up to him to pay and said he has $320, does Gerard have any change and Gerard replied with, no but that's ok and grabbed the $320. So I'm curious - did he give the office the $320 that he took from us or did he only give the office the $310 and keep $10 for himself??

Moby disc was disappointing. The DJ who was originally booked pulled out at the last minute. We weren't notified of the change. We had to chase them up. The DJ who arrived was slow in setting up. Guests arrived 12 noon and music wasn't ready until 12.30pm. We asked for a DJ that was engaging with the group of people at the function but he hardly spoke. There was no flow of music from one song to the next and yet we picked all the songs 1 week earlier and sent to Mobydisc. It was disappointing.

The DJ could not have performed a sound check upon arrival at the venue, otherwise, he would have realized that the music/speakers weren't working well together (compatibility issue with USB and equipment?) PRIOR to the bridal party entering :/
Then, when he was unable to provide the requested song for the cutting of the cake, many offers of assistance were forthcoming (from both guests and the bridal party/family), he was rude and dismissive- and then offered abusive statements about the bridal party.
DJ was the epitome of the 'arrogant' professional. He knew that he had the advantage because he was not exactly going to be sent home at the start of a wedding.
Feel sad for the beautiful bride and wonderful groom- a young couple who have saved so long and so hard for the day of their dreams... only to be disrespected on their special day :(

Mobydisc Sydney NSW
We were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday party early September 2016. I spent a lot of time selecting all the different songs and music for my husband's party. Mobydisc asked that I burn on a CD the music that they didn't have. My DJ arrived late then she had to leave immediately because she didn't have a certain cord that she needed. Halfway through the night she discovered that she couldn't play my CD on her system and needed to burn it onto her phone. I spent hours in organising all the music for her and printed all the songs I wanted at certain times. I asked the DJ to play my music in a certain order depending on dinner and speeches . During times I wanted to find her, she was outside having cigarette breaks. She threw my whole party arrangement for music out of whack and I was extremely disappointed and let down!!!
Never again Will I use this company for any party or celebration!!

Approximate cost: $295

The Dj was condescending, lazy, played songs not in our list (‘Sexy Bitch’ was not in theme for our wedding), didn’t use the music versions we’d provided (which Mobydisc advised they would), repeated the same song 3 times and didn’t even listen to the songs before playing them. Mobydisc office staff were polite but extremely disorganised. The dj assigned the week of the wedding did not return our calls and then a different dj turned up on the day. You’ll achieve a better outcome with an ipod on shuffle.

Approximate cost: $550

I celebrated my 60th on the 14 Feb and decided to use Mobydisc because I thought it was a reliable safe choice. Unfortunately the PC music kept jumping as though it was on an old scratched record. It was extremely disappointing given that a number of my guests who were musicians complained to me and when I asked the DJ I was told it was out of her hands and it was the music that the company supplied.

I had Mobydisc at our wedding. They let me choose songs from a large range and I could put down songs that I didn't want played. The girl I had was a bit straight - she wouldn't take requests until she had my personal ok to do it - which I quite liked! They were really reliable and always returned my calls promptly. We had a great night!

I chose a DJ for my wedding and couldn't have been more pleased. The dj was really good with taking requests and keeping the music appropriate for the occassion. Much better than listening to a band copying other peoples songs (badly)

Approximate cost: $405
