Am I being taken advantage of…?

Hint: “Don’t pay their high prices, all you’re paying for is the name”…

This is a common ploy used by low priced inferior DJ services to feign the appearance that they care about you and your finances.

In reality, it’s just a powerplay gimmick for your wallet and they want your dollars.

There is a misconception among many Disc Jockeys that “quantity” of events is better than “quality” of events. That quantity versus quality mentality that fills the DJ calendar and places mediocre DJs center-stage and unwitting wedding couples as the training ground for inexperienced DJs.

Yet nearly all brides want personal customer service to ensure their wants and needs are met satisfactorily.

Imagine a brides horror if the stitching on her wedding dress started to unravel during the wedding or reception.

The challenge is finding a DJ that doesn’t “unravel”, with the experience to go the distance. This will take time to research and an adequate entertainment budget.

-NOTE-

 
Generally speaking, people aspire for more…not less, in how they earn their living. Yet, there are DJ companies that will go out of their way to prove, by admission in pricing, why they are worth less.

Did You Really Earn Your “Best of Title” or “Award”?

Hint: Most “Best of Title” or “Awards” are scams used to embellish the value of inferior products or services. Also included in these scams can be popularity polls sponsored by local media where unknown entities solicit friends to vote early and often to receive awards they’ve not earned through years of experience.

DJ’s that promote their “Best of Awards” as the main reason to hire their DJ service are indirectly telling you how poor their performance really is. It’s far easier to show off a “paid for award” than to invest time into continuing education to improve your craft and performance.

Truly competent and accomplished DJ performers will lead with their experience and offer examples of how it can benefit you!

The Rapid City Journal, Rapid City, SD summed up dubious awards the best.

“These kinds of awards lend doubt to the legitimate ones,” she said.
“I just feel bad that there are people out there who do this, that, then cause that distrust.”

Hint: Volume is relative to the surroundings in which the event is taking place. Larger rooms may require more sound reinforcement, whereas, smaller venues may require less.

Placing guests with sensitive hearing next to speakers or in corner is a recipe for disaster. DJs that are knowledgeable with audio equipment generally know how to address challenging rooms.

KEEP IN MIND: The volume can change dramatically from the DJ side of the sound system to the dance floor side. It is not uncommon for a DJ to be unaware how the volume level may be affecting you and your guests. Never hesitate to ask if you would like to have the music turned down or up to suit your needs. Courteous DJs should happily oblige.

Hint: DJs that lack appropriate experience and music knowledge tend to identify with the age group and music they are most familiar with. In many cases, what they grew up with.

Specific experience that relates to your age group and type and style of dance is vital to the success of your event. Ask direct questions when interviewing a prospective DJ.

Consider your event and the ages of your guests while making your choice for the best DJ entertainment. A bar DJ may be great in a bar…but lousy at a wedding, annivesary, school, college or birthday dance event. Choose wisely!
