Taste The Night

2 formats from NZ$6,400

Some rooms are for dancing.

Music-led nights with a real dance floor: one looks back at the mirrorball years, one looks forward. Both are built for a group that would rather dance than sit.

The Disco Takeover

A mirrorball night with a floor that gets used. Four planned lighting states, a DJ working from your playlist and your do-not-play list, and a props wall for the people who came for photographs as much as for dancing.

What is included

  • A DJ for 4 hours with 2 full-range speakers, 1 subwoofer and a booth facade
  • A 50 cm mirrorball with 2 pin spots
  • 18 LED light points on 2 bars, 4 planned lighting states, no strobe
  • A props wall 3 × 2.4 m with 16 period props
  • 1 host on a wireless microphone for the opening and the close
  • 2 haze units used at low output, agreed with the venue first

Venue: A room of 140 m² or more with 2.8 m headroom, one 16 A and two 10 A circuits, and a dark-capable room for the LED wall to read.

What moves inside the price: Visual loops can carry your brand material, the VR stations can be dropped, and the floor can be kept smaller in favour of lounge seating.

On the night

How an evening in this direction runs.

The brief for both formats is simple: a floor people actually use. That means a DJ who reads the room, lighting that moves through planned states, and enough seating around the edges for the people who came to talk.

  1. Warm floor

    A low-tempo opening set while guests arrive and find the bar. Light stays warm and even.

  2. Lights down

    The lighting state changes, the floor opens and the host makes one short announcement.

  3. Peak

    Two hours of main set, with the photo corner and props running in parallel.

  4. Last call

    Tempo comes down and house light comes up in two steps, so nobody is blinded at the door.

The host and the crew come with the format. One coordinator holds the timing plan and is your single point of contact all evening.

Before you book a venue

What the room has to give us.

  • At least 140 m² with a hard, level floor — carpet kills a dance floor.
  • A 16 A circuit for lighting and a separate 10 A circuit for the DJ booth.
  • Headroom of 2.8 m for the lighting bars, or a wall-mount option agreed in advance.
  • The venue noise limit confirmed in writing before we build the sound plan.

Setup windows: bump-in up to 3 hours before doors, bump-out 1 to 2 hours after the finish. None of that is counted as programme time.

Worth saying plainly

No gambling in any of this.

Nothing in this direction involves a stake, a wager or a cash prize, and none of it happens online. Where an evening includes casino-style tables as an added element, those tables follow the same rules as our flagship: the chips are props that are never sold or exchanged, guests are 20+, and participation is voluntary.

Questions

About this direction.

Can we send a playlist?

Yes, and a do-not-play list as well. The DJ works from both and still reads the floor on the night.

Is the lighting safe for photosensitive guests?

We run no strobe by default. If anyone in your group needs that confirmed, say so in the enquiry and it goes on the plan.

Tell us the date and the town.

We will tell you whether we are free, which of these two formats fits your room, and what it would cost as one total.
