Debut Productions and Events

Yes, We have backup plans in case of any unforeseen circumstances. We have backup equipment, backup Staff & DJs, and backup vehicles to ensure that your event runs smoothly and without interruption.

Yes, you can meet the DJ or Sound Engineer before your event, if you wish. Debut Productions can arrange a consultation with the staff of your choice, where you can discuss your event details, music preferences, and any special requests.

It is not mandatory to feed the Staff, but it is a nice gesture to offer them a meal and a drink, especially if they are working for a long time. Alternative arrangements can be discussed prior to the event.

Yes, the DJ will play requests from you and your guests, as long as they are appropriate and fit the mood of the event. You can also provide a list of songs or genres that you want the DJ to play, or leave it to their professional discretion.

Yes, the DJ can play overtime if needed, subject to an additional fee per hour. The fee will depend on the package and equipment you have chosen.

Debut Productions requires a R500.00 deposit to secure your booking, and the balance is due 7 days before the event. You can pay by EFT or Cash.
