Working With "real Pros"

Rick,
I do agree that her attire seemed a bit "casual" for a vendor.
But, you DID mention the other guests and THEIR lack of style for this event.
Perhaps YOU were the one who was not dressed "properly"...by THEIR standards.
Maybe one of the guests posted a picture of you in your suit, and commented,
"Can you believe what the DJ wore to this casual wedding???"

If it was a him and I said "I'd bang him" would you still be making the same comment?

I can't guarantee that I would have said that if you posted at a different time (or if I saw it a different time). I might have / I might not have. I'm not the ODJT police nor do I want to be. Just be cognizant of the group you're in. My point - I doubt our female users would want to see that .. and I also doubt you would want to intentionally offend them - hence my message.

There may also be some male users that don't want to see it. We're all adults, but this isn't a pr0n site either.

If the bride and groom are cool with it, I don't really care.

My personal opinion is that all vendors should dress appropriately for the occasion. A vendor should be aware of how the guests will be dressed overall and dress appropriately.

If I did believe a vendor dressed Inappropriately for the occasion, I'd make a note of it. If they did a great job besides that, I'd make a note of that too. I see it on occasion with photographers. I won't reccomend those that don't consider their outfit important, even if he bride and groom don't seem to mind for that occasion

Agreed. The vast majority of people at this event were dressed. The groomsmen had on tuxedos and the bridesmaids were dressed very nice. Of all the weddings I've ever worked, I can honestly say this planner was THE worst-dressed planner (by a long shot) that I've ever seen working at a wedding. I'm all for fitting the occasion but this was embarrassing and yes, the mom started fussing about the venue the moment I met her (I think the planner was with the venue). Incidentally, I never sad a word to her about it. Did my job, took direction with a happy bride at the end of the night.

This is great! A thread like this criticizing a Vendor where everyone on the internet can read it. Nope it is not Private! Again, who died and made who Judge and jury. People need to mind their own business. I think I will go on Wedding Wire and reference this thread and ask for comments on it!

So .. critiquing professional planners OUT .. but professional DJs and their systems is still IN? I'm so confused.

This is a Forum for DJs, I see no problem in having healthy discourse here among ourselves. Posting pics of outside Vendors who are not here to defend themselves against vicious attacks is not cool. It lacks professionalism. People post things here about themselves and their Equipment & Gigs to either get a stamp of approval or feedback/criticism. This is how one learns to do things differently.

Why? Because I won't subscribe to the foolishness? You probably expected every one to jump on your bandwagon and now you are disappointed, huh?

I don't disagree with your statement. Would I have posted it? No. To each his own. I'd just like to know who appointed you judge and jury.

Not in the least. I'm just surprised that your argument partner hasn't jumped into the fray. Let's say that was a DJ who dressed like that, for a wedding, and where the majority of the guests were dressed up. What would be your response then?

That is exactly the question I posed to the OP, he is the one judging the Wedding Planner, not me. Go ask him. All I am doing is making a comment and yes I do Judge HIS comments as being very unprofessional. That is My View.

It reads like you're trying to be the content police as of late around here. Arguing various topics hasn't worked how in your favor so now we're gonna question why things were even posted to begin with.

You did not post a Pic of a DJ so don't try and turn things around. However, just to indulge your question if someone else other than I hired a DJ who was inappropriately dressed, then that still be none of my damn business. Let that person on their Client duke it out. I am not the one paying nor am I the one getting paid.
