Well, I’ve taken steps to ensure professionalism from first contact to the last dance. The first time you contact me, you will be speaking with your DJ! Many companies book as many gigs as possible only to hand them off and skim off the top. While this may be good business (to some) it’s bad for you. How many brides really want to speak to their DJ one week out from their wedding? Not many if you ask me.
After the business side of things are taken care of, we are left with the day itself. One thing I’ve always noticed about DJ’s is that a lot of them are eyesores. Cords are visible, tables are jumbled with equipment, drinks, paperwork, and the list goes on and on. To counter that, I invested in a one of a kind tri-fold facade. In addition to creating a sleak, sophisticated look, it also can add to the event itself. Made from white Plexiglas, it is backlit with the color theme for the evening. The first thing your guests will see upon entering the reception could look something like this:
I was working a wedding a few months back (as of August) and it was going very well. The floor was packed, the lights were all goin’ and one of the guests asked me what made me so good. Well, I was taken aback because I never really thought about it. I gave it a quick second and finally responded with: “I don’t have an ego”. Sounds simple enough, but all I really want to do is make sure the bride and groom (mostly the bride, lets be honest–we know who’s day this really is!) go home absolutely thrilled. I’ve heard other DJ’s complain because they get odd requests, or they have to play top 40 music when they may feel it’s all “junk” and may want to play unheard of “real music”. I feel that I’m asked to do one thing: do what is desired for a given event. Of course, that comes with some parameters. I will not play vulgar or offensive music. Likewise, if the bride and groom wish to play music that I know, from experience, will not be conducive to a party type atmosphere, I will work with them to ensure a successful night while incorporating their requests. (Example: The Grateful dead may be great to listen to at home or in the care on a trip, but it may not work during a dance set). I guess it’s really quite simple: Promise a premium product, and deliver it. I do that every time I serve my customers!
