I'm thinking about getting another facade.

Mix I paid for the material and had a buddy build it for me. I have 600 bucks invested into it. Buying it from the one place I know that sells them in NJ would run close to 1000 bucks.
They had one a while back at Musically yours in Hackinsack for I think $495.00. I quickly left with a black cloth one instead.

I just didn't expect to have to spend that much. I seen one that might work from Dragon Boards for $369.00. Not sure if it will but Ill call them to find out if it will.
 
I have had that told to me before and I asked why. The response was "Duct Tape messes up the carpet and is too sticky". I then asked "Other than that, would there be a problem?" the answer was "No". I said "Let me introduce you to Gaffers Tape". I went on to explain the difference and comforted their fear of the residue problem. Needless to say, I ended up using my Gaffers tape along the baseboard and carpet.

The few places I play who have banned tape...
the banquet manager is only relaying the rules from the owner.
So they didn't have the ability to make their own decision.

Now, if only the OWNER was on site to discuss it with...

Where in the world do you find these Venues who can never compromise or allow things?:rolleyes:

In Pennsylvania....obviously :rolleyes:
Don't act so surprised. I'm not the only one.

we have 4 venues on the books this year which specifically have in their vendor rules that NO tape is allowed to be use anywhere in the venue

Again I am sure that when they say No Tape they are referring to Duct Tape. So what would you do if your Speaker Wires had to run across a path that people had to cross, such as a doorway etc and there was no other place to put that speaker(s)?
Is this why some of you just set up end at a table?
 
Ausumm has it right Canute. Please hear me out. If I was the owner of a venue and I told an employee at the venue to do something. If that employee went against how I wanted things done, then they would no longer be an employee at my venue. I'm the employer and they are the employee. When they get their own venue then they can run things the way they want to. Until then what the boss says is the way it should be done. Unless there is a major emergency and things must be changed. And it better be one hell of a major emergency for me to consider letting them keep their job at my venue. I made sure I kept saying my venue because if I owned it, that's what it would be.
 
I believe I found the one I want to buy. It's made by Dragon Front Boards. The price on their site is $369.00. I would need to call them to get more details aboth that item. My question is would this one be good enough to use with a 6' table? We have some up coming events that I just don't want people to see the same old thing they are used to seeing from other DJ's around here. Bottom line is my ego says we need to be able to show clients and their guest the wow factor!

Another Option That Is Much Simpler

Not bad, Canute.
I like the fact that you can wash the fabric (being WHITE).
I cannot seem to find a price when I google it.
Any ideas?

I just can't get my mind around having a facade that draws that much attention at a reception.

IMHO the attention should be the B & G - not me or my facade. I prefer to do my job well but in the background.

Get over it Jim! Nobody is saying the DJ has to be a showman. Should the florist only use mediocre flowers? Would a lavish bouquet display cause people to forget the reason why they are at a Wedding? A beautiful or elegant DJ Booth is an added feature to the decor of the room as long as the Colors are not Clashing. For me, I would rather have an awesome Lighted Facade than speakers boxed around my ears that makes me stand out and look conspicuous.
I wonder how many Wedding DJs here are purposefully included in Wedding Pictures for the Official Client's Album? The DJ is indeed a part of the whole event and he/she is an important aspect of the Celebration. If one perceives themselves as being insignificant, others will also see you that way and therefore others are more apt to treat you that way.

Damn we're on the same page with that post. One in a million I guess. LOL.

I DO perceive myself as being a significant part of any reception and I use that in marketing. It's just that I prefer to let my performance be what they remember without having a lighted facade almost saying "look at me look at me!".

Let's agree to disagree on this one...

For me I see it as a tool to make our setup stand out and not look like another DJ's setup. And please don't show that picture again. My take is I don't know who may be there and may want to book a DJ in the future. I just see it's not about just the clients that I'm working for that day. It's about trying to give a good impression to all that attend the wedding or other event. In turn I just hope the client will give us a favorable review and recommend us to other people looking for a DJ.

Now if it were something the couple didn't want I would not do it. I'm just saying this is what I want to do.
