    What are your thoughts on Yorkville NX 25 12" speakers?

    A older friend of mine who does a ton of senior parties during the week shows up with two qsc k8’s and says they’re more than enough.

    Sam Ash Closing over 10+ stores

    I, and many of my dj friends haven't touched or heard a piece of equipment that I bought in almost a decade. Like a lot nowadays, if you're paying top dollar for an item, a lot of it is word of mouth and taking the time to research what you have interest in to make sure you're getting the best...

    Well a good reason to understand social media

    Hashtags are irrelevant. Algorithm uses the actual content and keywords in the post. Also Facebook is nonexistent almost to the current bride and that age range. It’s all about instagram and TikTok

    Looks like my van was stolen.

    An umbrella insurance policy, at least the one offered to me, covers you in terms of liability beyond the scope or amount that the standard business liability insurance covers. This is usually in instances of when you are the one responsible for the liability such as property damage, physical...

    this will vary within your state more than likely... but there are different insurances based on the situations. Homeowners insurance will cover issues on the property itself. But most insurances will limit this to just a few thousand. This has to be on the property itself. A public street or...

    Looks like my van was stolen.

    Valid points. I’m just trying to find comparable to what he had but more efficient in terms of weight and transport and function (the mic he had wouldn’t work in his area well).

    Looks like my van was stolen.

    mix all you need is the following: - mc6000 $400 (used for $300) - rcf evox12 system (more powerful than any event you do) $4000 used on fb marketplace w/ covers - a cheap rockville facade $149 - a shure slxd mic (g50 band)- on sale for $600 miscellanous wires and other random components...

    Playlist & Game ideas for overnight teen lockin

    I just did something like this last week. During the background segments it’s basically today’s music that’s not so danceable, or recent danceable music that’s not being used during the midnight party. Keep it familiar is all. And yes it’s ok to drop in a random oldies like queen or footloose or...

    The reality is few on here are trying to be innovative or evolve. Most are just continuing the same pattern of things that they’ve been doing since 2010. But that is generally the state of the industry as a whole. The innovators know they can get more eyes on what they’re doing via YouTube and...

    I think the nice thing about the basic option is that it helps show the value of the all inclusive and will make people gravitate to that option on their own. But also offer an option for those that want to save money overall, but still allow you to make money.

    Yes, I've done many events in what are lesser affluent markets than that of North Jersey. Some with avg household income levels not much higher than that of Oneanta, AL. However, I'm of the perspective that people who value something... anything... will try to find a way to make it happen. Some...

    Those who won't think of paying that much are not calling me or going to Rick... why... very simple... because we have websites with our pricing. Those that don't share pricing will experience what you always seem to focus on... price objections. In 2024 if you're dealing with price conscious...

    Playlist for a daddy-daughter dance?

    are you talking slow songs? As far as the dancing portion itself, just play good music like any other event. No need to force daddy daughter specific songs at the risk of alienating the dancefloor. Treat it like a Sweet 16 or 8th grade dance. If the girls dance, dad will join them. Keep the...

    Tunes is 10000000% spot on. This is your future! SO many of my past Sweet 16 clients have become my current wedding clients. This is where being able to use social media can be a huge advantage. Hire a professional photographer (or your own), have them take photos of people mingling and...
