About Pooles of Music
Pooles of Music is a mobile DJ business based in Townsville, playing weddings, birthday parties and corporate functions. Rather than sending whoever is free, the team assigns a DJ to suit the music you like, the age range of your guests and the kind of event, so a younger crowd can get club tracks while a mixed family room hears rock and roll, R&B, country, easy listening and disco classics. Presentation matters here. Every system sits behind a mirror-fronted console, and every function comes with stand-alone lighting that pulses in time with the music, at no extra cost. The sound gear is from brands such as JBL, Yamaha and Sennheiser, and the only thing the venue needs to provide is power – the set-up runs off a single outlet. A dedicated crew installs and tests the equipment well ahead of the start time, often the day before if the venue allows, so the DJ turns up fresh rather than rushing a set-up during pre-dinner drinks. Spare equipment and reserve DJs are kept on hand in case anything goes wrong on the day. Through dinner the volume stays at a comfortable talking level, rising once dancing starts. DJs dress to match the occasion, from a suit for formal events to smart casual for relaxed parties. Couples go through a checklist before the wedding so details such as entrances and special songs are settled ahead of time, and requested tracks are bought in if they are not already on the system.

Frequently asked questions
How does Pooles of Music choose which DJ plays our function?
Each booking is matched with a DJ based on your preferred music, the ages of your guests and the type of function, drawing on a team that ranges from younger club DJs to more experienced hands.
How long do the DJ packages run?
The wedding, functions and DJ and photobooth packages provide continuous music for six hours or until midnight, whichever comes first. The ceremony package covers two hours of music.
Can the party keep going past the finish time?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The DJ will happily wind down over a few extra minutes, and a further hour can be added for $50, paid in cash to the DJ on the night.
What does the venue need to supply for the DJ?
Only power. The whole system, including the console, speakers and lighting, can run from one standard power point, and the crew sets it up well before your guests arrive.
Is there a deposit to secure the date?
A $100 deposit confirms any booking, and the remaining balance is due no later than seven days before the function.
