We are always being asked for suggestions for themed events and “how much” does it cost? The level of cost is determined by how much you want us to do and any additional services you may require. You may only require us to simply play music in keeping with the theme in which case you would be quoted for a normal function. We have listed below some bullet points of popular combinations and also timelines and suggestions if you want to manage the event yourself. - Themed music only
- Themed music & DJ in costume
- Themed music, DJ in costume & basic props

Party Ideas:Invitations: One of the most important things about organising a party is the invitation. It’s the window to your party and sets the whole mood. It needs to be novel, eye catching and full of content relevant to your party. Search the internet for images from the 60's and use these to make your invitation. A novel invitation is to pick up some old vinyl 45’s from car boot sales and replace the paper in the center of the record with your invitation, very cheap and great fun. Atmosphere: Place a groovy welcome to the 60s sign in colorful bubble letters at the entrance - Find old newspapers from the 60s
- Try a little 60s trivia, assemble a dozen or so questions, print them of and place them on the tables
- Post images on the walls of scenes from the 60’s
- Research 60's drinks on the Internet.
