Best for: Telford disco and karaoke with booth and dance floor hire

Trading as Old School Entertainment Ltd · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire, West Midlands

Old School Entertainment in short

Old School Entertainment is a Telford mobile disco and karaoke business working across Shropshire and the West Midlands from a Dallamoor base. The offer stretches past music into photo booth, dance floor and candy cart hire, with weddings and corporate events beside private parties. A live company record dating to twenty-eighteen sits behind the name, alongside an availability calendar and enquiry form on the site.

Customers rate Old School Entertainment highly: five out of five on Google is the headline, with AddToEvent reviewers scoring it almost as strongly across a much larger set. Our judgement is that it suits a host who wants disco, karaoke and party extras from a single Telford supplier. What counts against it is the missing paperwork detail: no published cover and no base prices, with discounts quoted off figures you only learn by asking.

The site sets out disco and karaoke for weddings, corporate nights and private parties, with the hire extras given their own space. Contact runs through an email address and an enquiry form, with the calendar showing open dates before anyone asks. Links to its review profiles sit on the page, so the customer record is easy to find.

The customer evidence spans two platforms we hold, which gives this record more breadth than most of the round. Our judgement rests on that breadth, with the odd wrinkle that the business is certified to test portable electrics as a service while publishing no cover of its own. Prices run through quotes either way, so the written figure matters more than usual.

Questions about Old School Entertainment

Is Old School Entertainment any good?

On the evidence, yes for disco and karaoke nights: it sits third of ten in our September round, with strong scores on two review platforms and a checkable company record behind it. The gaps are paperwork: no published cover and no base prices. Read the full review beside the table, then ask for an itemised written quote.

Is Old School Entertainment registered with a DJ association?

DJs have no mandatory register, and Old School Entertainment claims no memberships on its website or the platforms checked, so industry qualifications can't be sourced. That sits oddly beside its certification for testing portable electrics as a service, but it is still a paper gap rather than a performance mark. Ask for the liability certificate with your enquiry.

What does Old School Entertainment charge?

Prices run through quotes with percentage discounts stated but no base figures published, so the enquiry sets the cost. Send your date, venue, hours and whether you want the booth, dance floor or karaoke extras, then ask for one written total with travel, deposit and cancellation terms inside. Compare it like for like before you pay anything.

Where does Old School Entertainment work?

Old School Entertainment works from Dallamoor in Telford across Shropshire and the West Midlands, covering disco, karaoke, weddings and corporate events. Most borough venues sit comfortably inside the patch, with the wider region covered by arrangement. Send your venue with the first message to confirm the night is free and the travel position.

How is Old School Entertainment ranked?

It sits third of ten in our September round, carried by its customer record across two platforms with a checkable company history behind it, and only the two names above it outscore it. Rankings are decided by the scorecard alone. Read the full review beside the table, then ask for the itemised quote.

How do we get a quote from Old School Entertainment?

Use the enquiry form on its website, which shows an availability calendar, or write to the published email address. Send the date, venue, hours of music and which extras you want so the first figure is a real one. Ask for kit, lighting, extras, travel and the overtime position inside one written total.

What do the reviews say about Old School Entertainment?

Reviewers rate it highly on both platforms we hold: five out of five from a handful of Google reviews, with AddToEvent reviewers scoring it almost as strongly across dozens more, all seen in early September. Two-platform breadth is rare in this round. Read the card beside the table for what sits behind the scores.

How does Old School Entertainment compare with the other DJs in this round?

It is the extras pick of the round: no rival bundles disco, karaoke, booth, dance floor and more in one Telford booking, and few match its two-platform review breadth. The leader beats it on headline history and cover paperwork. Compare the two on written quotes for your night, using the hiring guide on the trade page.
