In the past three weeks I have had three brides cancel meetings saying we have a friend or relative that is a DJ and is going to dj our wedding for free. I really want to say I hope they totally screw up your reception but of course I don't. Anyone else getting alot of this?

No hot air here you are like a $10.00 whore take my word for it unless you are starving to death if you do a gig like this you will feel cheap after.

solution I have the same type of problem with my numark sound card to solve it I open the sound card file and change the bitrate this causes the music to stop for about 3 seconds but corrects the problem. P.S. I think behringer is German for tone deaf.

Hey anyone know how to play the survivor game at a reception? Thanks in advance.:triconfused:

So against my better judgement I provided the background music for a wedding trade show on Sunday. I spent some time thinking what would be best, top fourty, coctail type music, classical? Finally decided to play songs that I often play for the dancing portion of a reception (keep things...

Sappy T-Carter music is so sappy and overpriced it makes me want to throw up.

Jeff from reading your posts and your gig reports I just want to say that I think you rock and if you lived out here I would hire you to DJ my daughters wedding. I do understand the market you live in I spent 4 years in Moncton Newbrunswick if you lived in a more upscale bigger market you would...

I did not say that I think a reception and a club are the same thing just that they both require prep time I consider "working it" preparing for the night and keeping the dance floor full and building a following so the patrons come back, in other words making the owner money so he can pay me a...

I do not get your point we are talking about the merits of taking a 6 hour gig in a club until 3:30 in the morning for $75.00.

I did not say anything about a wedding reception requiring no prep I send out a 6 page planner to my brides by the way I have done over 300 receptions myself and have two DJ's working for me and have put in over 4 years total in clubs and as far as music selection receptions to me are easier...

I would take the $200.00 and bring my own equipment at least it is a decent days pay if I have to do that 3 or 4 nights a week it adds up to something it is not a problem for me to haul gear I know it will sound good and I am making back some money on my investment. Let some kid work until 3:30...

I will not take the bait on the border comment I will say this that if you do not draw a line on your worth you will become worth very little.

From the discription of the jobs you take and the pay you make you are the last one who should be telling me about capitalism I left home when I was 17 (1981) and sold Vaccuums for the first 4 years and made and average of 36,000 a year, had my own advertising company for 8 years and made an...

I have worked for commission all my life I know all about hussling for a living I also can recognise when somone is hussling me it is not a matter of ego it is a matter of getting paid what you are worth *******s who take jobs like this are setting the bar to low for the DJ's out here who are...

Just how do you work the crowd for tips put out a tip jar?

WTF 50.00 a night 6 hours your music pathetic. It is hacks like this that make DJ's look like a bunch of loosers.

Have you ever worked in a Bar what makes you think it is so easy? Did you read this post they go untill 3:30 $75.00 is a joke and I have never recieved a tip in a bar.

:sqeek: I would ask for at least twice that more like $200.00.

Hey! Papa you are coming real close to calling me or anyone else here who said they would try and help out an idiot. :sqmad:

Wow "THE J MAC" anyone who starts thier name with THE makes me wonder? Once again just some pars thats it no big deal if it helps your friends event go better and scores some points with your wife why not? I would ask the other DJ if he would like me to bring them if not that would be the end...

Man you guys what is the big deal bring a set of pars throw some color on the floor and stay out of the rest of it. Your wife will be happy and maybe you'll get lucky.

They never showed him or mentioned the name of his company the bride at the end of the event said he did a great job. It may have been better for us if he did a lousy job then we could say she got what she paid for. :sqerr:

I watch Rich Bride Poor Bride about once a week I find it give me some insight into the parts of Wedding planning etc that I never see. That being said it has always sort of bothered me that they never mention the DJ or the part we play in the success of the event. Just when I was getting over...
