Secrets Behind a DJ/Entertainment Service

Secrets Behind a DJ/Entertainment Service

The “Secrets Behind” series has been a huge success and I have really enjoyed learning new things from different vendors.  Certainly a vendor that everyone has looked into at some point, is the DJ.  The stereotype has long passed, hopefully, but I will still say that there are some stragglers holding strong to the DJ image.  I’m grateful to have an interview from someone who has never had the stereotype and has been around long enough to have proven how good a DJ Service really can be.
Without further delay I present:

Q: What is the biggest misconception about your industry?
A: That all DJs are cheesy, they play music too loud and that all we do is just press play on an
i pod or CD player.

Get It In Writing!

On June 16, 2009, In Mobile DJ Facts & Tips, By Mark Sanchez

Get it in Writing!

I got a familiar call yesterday from a lady looking to find a DJ for her friends wedding this coming Saturday. She told me that the DJ they hired for the wedding, called to inform the bride that all of his equipment was just stolen, and he would not be able to DJ the wedding. Yet did not offer to help her find a replacement DJ or possibly borrow or rent equipment for that weekend since he still had a least 5 days before the wedding date.

I told her that I was not available this Saturday but I would like to help her find a DJ that is. So I asked how much the DJ charging for his services for the wedding? She replied $350 for 4 hours. Whoa! It never ceases to amaze
me that there are guys with equipment (so called DJ’s) that still charge less for their services then a wedding cake. I informed this lady that I did not know any professional DJ’s that could come close to that amount for a wedding, especially that close to the wedding date. If the bride was willing to pay more, then I possibly could help her find a good DJ.

How Much Do You Charge?

On June 16, 2009, In DJ Pricing, By Mark Sanchez

How Much Do You Charge?

When I get calls or e-mails from potential clients,
the number one most common question I get is,
“How much do you charge”

It would seem to make sense since most Brides look
at DJ’s as just another wedding vendor. However a DJ
is a personalized service not a commodity, e.i. cake,
wedding gown, food. Also Brides really don’t know what
else to ask.
