Review: The Best Wedding Reception ... Ever!

To many ads? Support ODJT and see no ads!
This is a compilation of two post made on another forum. Perhaps this will cause the vehemence and hysteria here on OurDJTalk to rise to unprecedented levels ever experienced in DJ forum-land.

Colleagues : Perhaps there is something intrinsically being overlooked and it's one of those "like it or not, it's here" impact observations.

Reading the book, then watching three of Peter's book promos on three major market TV stations, his brief yet powerful message is getting out there where the business relies...the client. While the DJ community cannot seem to rally around anything meaningful, his message to our earnings base is getting out there, and to hundreds at at a time, who will talk to a lot of folks, who will spread the word to thousands more.

More impressively, regardless of how one feels about Peter the person, is the remarkable interest the TV interviewers showed in listening to Peter's message. Their genuine innocent and first hand questions and observations play perfectly into Peter's plan which he manipulates masterfully.

Like it or not, burying the head in the sand and pretending it doesn't exist, blasting away, DJs have an emerging and potentially powerful spokesperson, with or without your personal blessing.

Scary? Regardless of what side of the alleged fence one sits, it could very much be so...or...maybe not.

Having studied and gained experience under Mark Ferrell with GWYW and then ADJA with Dr. Draxx, he's taken then next logical evolutionary step and individual approach that addresses DJs who are constantly crying out "What's in it for me? What's in it for me?".

This time the [his] response is..."Nothing for you, nothing free that is!"

"What do you mean, it's not free!! Turncoat, coward, money grubber, industry dividerer, elitist, liar, backstabber, con-man."

Amazingly, this someone is willing to hoist the middle finger directly in the face of this outcry, the copy-cut-paste mentality, and take the case to the clients direct.

That's the message. But...then there's the messenger.

Better be able to separate the two. Told ya so (six years ago)!

Hey Cap...

This is a compilation of two post made on another forum. Perhaps this will cause the vehemence and hysteria here on OurDJTalk to rise to unprecedented levels ever experienced in DJ forum-land.

What is a "two post"? Or is that one of those Fast Finger grammatical errors you were talking about in another thread? You know there is a F-R-E-E application to help you with those.. LOL Love ya brother!
 
That is why I am considering something like this for my webpage:

If you are looking for a DJ that will just stand there and press play, then don’t hire us because we provide you with an Entertainment Host that will work with you to completely program your music and your event agenda to your expectations.

Our Entertainment Hosts:
• Are experienced event planners
• Are experienced music programmers
• Are experienced crowd pleasers
• Are skilled dance floor analysts; that is, they can read the reaction of your guests and anticipate appropriate music to keep you and your guests satisfied
• Are experienced Mistresses/Masters of Ceremonies; that is, your event spokesperson
• Personalize your event to your expectations
• Provide you with ideas for your event that are designed to make your guests and you feel more involved
• Come appropriately dressed for your event
• Provide quality amplification
• Provide a wide range of genres of music

The interactivity level of our Entertainment Hosts is totally determined by our clients. Do not expect cheesy DJs waltzing out props and costume changes, unless that is what you want. The interactivity can range between an Entertainment Host that will be involved with you and your guest throughout your event running games and ice breakers, participating in dances, and such to an Entertainment Host that will simply play the music requests of you and your guests and make any necessary announcements; or your Entertainment Host can be somewhere in between. It is totally up to you as to how interactive your Entertainment Host will be.

With Good Knight Entertainment it is not all about the music; it is all about fun. If you and your guests have not had fun, we have not done our job.
 
Tom : Was it wise post this? Now any advantage you might have had has been copied, cut, and pasted by those half your fee.

Thanks for sharing. I love it.

Tom,

An observation: Try to write this message without bonding a classist judgement to inanimate objects or ambiguous competitors.

"Cheesy" is one of those words that has no comparative basis - yet rings as a condemnation of something or someone you obviously don't like.

Props & Costumes are themselves not cheesy - it's what you do with them that might create the cheese. You could very well send a $10,000 corporate client walking simply because of their theme requirements.


Cap,

Kudos to Peter for marketing himself as he sees fit.

But let's not overstate the significance of any of this. The morning show tv world has always featured a regular rotation in wedding season of relevant guests. The "message" is as it always has been. It's filler, and 10 years from now there will be someone else repeating the same themes.

Common sense makes good tv interviews. But common sense isn't something in such short supply that it should constitute some huge "industry" revolution.

Hopefully Peter's effort will land him the wedding jobs he wants. But that's all one needs to expect from it. There is no trickle down theory at work here.

There will be plenty of jealous DJs whose venom spills from the secret desire that they too could appear on tv. Peter gives them plenty too nip at.

However, the mere fact that there is now one more wedding guide, or that it was authored by a DJ, hardly provides the kind of credibility Peter's fans (and even himself) often assign to certain arguments he tries to make with other DJs.

Such common sense abounds among both Brides and DJ's alike. The book will not become the crucifix of a new DJ religion.
 
So, if I write this sentence

Do not expect cheesy DJs waltzing out props and costume changes, unless that is what you want.

this way instead

Do not expect your Entertainment Host to be using props and costume changes, unless that is what you want.

that should take care of it.

Again, thanks for the critique.

What I'm trying to go for is the "it is not just the music" approach; that is, we provide entertainmnet professionals that do the coordination in addition to playing music.

Cap, if they're on this board, I count them as friends. I posted it because I do want some opinions on it and if they want to use the wording or the title, please feel free to do so.

Please note that I am trade marking Entertainmnet Host, LOL. But, you won't have to pay me $900 to use it.
 
That bad??? Geez, I'm sorry.




Make that to (um..too, no, er, ah two) tu times, Bry!
 
Seriously Tom,

This one was the better version:

"it is not just the music" ... that is, we provide entertainmnet professionals that do the coordination in addition to playing music.
