    WWYD Or How Would You Feel (Rant)

    Sometimes and Im guessing here...she had her heart set on a dj and the hubby to be didnt...so the interview takes place....she knows in her mind what she wants and is just playing along to keep the peace....or......I had one where she was Cambodian....and they wanted some of the music the family...

    Weddings WWYD: Bride has "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" as Must Play

    I play this song at almost all my weddings....just before the garter/bouquet toss. I gather all the men...married men...single men....engaged men...just men. Have them take a knee...tell them that today the bride (use her name) is now officially off the market ....the men groan...I tell them we...

    Weddings Your "Normal" Guest Count @ Weddings?

    Mine range from 150 to 225. Always seems once the meal is over we lose around about a quarter of the people...they just show for the food and leave.

    Weddings 5 reasons to arrive early!!!

    I have one venue that I start set up at 1pm.....guests arrive at 5pm. But like you said once the room is ready they show it off to potential brides/grooms and families. I make sure I have nice soft background music going. I have actually booked a couple shows this way. As summer arrives and...

    A new all time low in my market

    So rox...just curious here. Were you always this great even when you started, that you didnt bend or give a little in the beginning just to get the ball rolling. Cause if you were you need to attend the Dj conventions and let everyone know just how its done. Tell me which convention you'll be at...

    Weddings $20,000.00 Wedding for $6,000.00

    My thinking is that in the contract something should have been written that at no time will this ever be verbally or written as a free event for my services. If you say that you will be held responsible for the FULL balance due. Once everyone hears free thats what everyone wants. Now if they...

    Uh oh.... this could be disasterous.

    Number three on Toms list sounds like fun....but try using songs the kids know...especially from High School Musical or and Disney type tunes....kids know them and adults may not just a twist

    A new all time low in my market

    So since no one knows anything about this guy other than the price....heres the other possibilty. What if he does have decent gear....and legal music....but is really just getting started. This may be his way to at least get some exposure. When I first went on my own I did some free shows just...

    Weddings How Do You Weed Out Fake Clients..??

    Years ago while selling flooring...I was busy with a customer. We had three other guys working plus the manager. A guy and I kid you not parked in the front of the building in what looked like the old auto from the Beverly Hillybillies show. Big guy got out...bib overalls on and stomped the cow...

    Weddings Couple dress as Shrek and Princess Fiona for wedding

    And why not its their wedding day. Whats next they ask the dj to play a special song...oh the tragedy. Cmon rox....it is their day, I find this no different than a love story or grand entrance done special, or a special first dance that changes songs...its what they want...what they pay for. Not...

    Weddings What are your red flags during the interview?

    Something to think about.....most everyone at the reception also went to the ceremony. Which means those of different faiths and non-believers all gathered at the church and Im pretty sure there was a prayer there. So the issue of a blessing is really well...no issue. If the bride and groom say...

    surprise guest

    The funny thing is the bride/groom and I talked about having Bucky but they were at the end of the budget...so the wedding party did it for them. This party was great from beginning to end...we even went 30 minutes past(with venue consent)to do the 5th quarter...still had a crowd going for that

    What if your wife pressured you to lower your price for one of her friends?

    I guess the question I have is what is the reason your wife wants you to cut them an even better deal....because she is a friend...would she feel the same way if the woman wanted to go to bed with you....cmon honey she is my friend....think we know the answer to that....this is business and you...
