Booking a DJ for your event

Professional DJ?
Part-Time DJ?
Ipod?
Cousin Vinny as my DJ?

Let's face it, you have many choices for hiring musical entertainment for your wedding.

Many of you may have heard my story of the "part-Time DJ"...And if you did, it is worth hearing again. (This is a true story)

I have booked a bride who was at her best friend's wedding. This wedding was in the Spring of 2008.

Here is what the Bride booked for her DJ: Someone who "Does this part time" , We will call him DJ Jammin' Johnny. (Not his real name)

DJ Jammin' Johnny charged this bride $700 to DJ her wedding.

He provided her with a two page planner sheet. He told her to "Fill out the information" and he would call her a week before her wedding.

The sheet contained basic information (names, times, and SOME music selections), but nothing more.

She filled out the form, and found to her amazement that there was no address to send it to! (Where does Jammin' Johnny LIVE?) After THREE phone calls, he finally returned her call and told her to mail it to his home address....She did.

ONE week before her wedding, he calls her to go over the info. She asked if he would be able to play all of her 30 or so song requests and he said "Yes". (Boy was she in for a surprise)

He showed up on her wedding day a FEW minutes late. He said there was traffic....(This is completely unprofessional)

He THEN:

1. Mis-pronounced a few names in the bridal party (He was unprepared...)
2. Did not play the few songs she had requested, as a matter of fact he only played 3 of them.
3. Was rude to more than a few guests who wanted to request some songs.
4. Started drinking alcohol (Completely unprofessional)
5. During the "father/Daughter dance" - He DISAPPEARED OUTSIDE to smoke a cigarette.

At this point, the bride was furious.....................

Oh, and by the way, he was wearing a white piano tie and red converse tennis shoes.......

This is the part-Time DJ that charges $500-$700 for your wedding.

The bride was in tears by the end of the night.

Ask yourself this: Did she REALLY SAVE MONEY? Or did she get what she payed for?

When it comes to your special day, hire a SPECIAL Entertainer..... You will be happy you did...Not in tears on the day of your special wedding.

Remember, you should hire the DJ that you feel CONFIDENT in, not the one you found at the lowest price...Best of Luck!
