thanks MAtt I couldnt have said it better asides the learn Spanish dude.:sqlaugh:
 
Thanks Matt, greatly appreciated, The family is from Venezuela and I have a meeting with them next week so that will defiantly help with the music direction. From talking to them I think it is going to be a toned down version of a Quinceanera (and yes I learned how to pronounce it properly) along with a few other things :), eve if it is a scaled down version I still want to be prepared for it. Thanks again for all your help
 
WIth all due respect...

Why would you take a job you didn't know "how" to properly do? Are they friends? ( in other words are there circumstances as to why?)

Wouldn't it make more sense to give the lead to a friend or other dj that knows the proper way and what to do, go with them and learn first?

Good question, well as I mentioned I talked to them previously and it is going to be a scaled down version and they also know that it is my first one, I told them that straight out before taking the booking. Also the girl has seen us at youth events in the area and specifically wanted us for the party. So they do know I have never done one before and they are comfortable with that fact! I just want to show them they they have hired a professional and have done my homework to make their party the best I possibly can by learning their customs, traditions and whatever else I can.
 
Cool beans... Sorry if I came off as harsh. I just see so many dj's do the "I can do that" with a client, then run to the boards and half crazy ask "now what?":sqeek:

You were up front with the client. And they have seen you before. Awesome.

Where I am from there is a heavy mexican / spanish population. I know it would need to be done right and have truned down good bucks. But I don't know how.

It is nice to see a client that wants you, and is willing to teach as well! That means you have a good standing with them. Probably get the wedding in the future too!:sqwink:

I wish you luck with the event!

Maybe this can turn into a new source of income!!:sqbiggrin:

Then you want to play Cumbias, Merengue (a lot), Salsa.
You might want to check into the music from los Billos Caracas Boys and Los Melodicos (I sort of know them) but they're the staples and roots of Cumbia, Salsa and Merengue Orchestra from Venezuela. they also like Reggaeton, it's pounding hard in the Shores of Venezuela right now. Oscar D'leon is very big, Willfrido Vargas, Puerto Rican Power, Sandy y Papo, etc....

If you need further help let me know.

Nope I didn't feel you came off harsh at all. I know exactly what you mean.I would rather say no I can not do an event than say Oh yeah I can do that and then ruin someones special day because I thought I could do it.
