| HIRING OF A DJ THE HIRING OF A DJ IS AS IMPORTANT AS MANY OTHER DECISIONS YOU WILL MAKE IN YOUR LIFE. IT RANKS UP THERE WITH TURNING 16, POPPING THE QUESTION, GETTING MARRIED AND EVEN HIRING A LAWYER. AS SILLY AS SOME OF THIS MAY SOUND TO YOU JUST THINK OF HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE THE PERFECT ATMOSPHERE FOR YOUR AFFAIR. THE TABLES ARE SET, THE GUESTS ARE INVITED, THE FOOD IS PREPARED BUT YOU HAVE HIRED A LESS THAN QUALIFIED DJ. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY GETTING “WHAT YOU PAID FOR” IS TO KNOW THE DJ’S BACKGROUND, YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, COMMITMENT TO QUALITY, PROFESSIONALISM AND BEING ABLE TO HEAR THEM BEFORE YOU HIRE THEM. OF COURSE, THIS IS JUST A SHORT LIST OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR SEARCH BUT IT’S A START. UNLIKE MANY OTHER DJ’S AND DJ COMPANIES, I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU HIRE A DJ FOR YOUR SPECIAL EVENT/DAY, YOU ARE THE BOSS. AS A YOUNG CHILD I WAS INSPIRED BY A GREAT RADIO ANNOUNCER, DON WILSON, WHO TOLD ME “TO BE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS, ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE HERE TO PLAY MUSIC THAT THE PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.” HE ALSO TOLD ME TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME ONE OUT THERE THAT IS BETTER THAN ME AND TO STRIVE TO MAKE MYSELF BETTER THAN THEM. THIS WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES TO KEEP YOU COMMITTED TO THE PEOPLE AND THE MUSIC. I HAVE ALWAYS LIVED BY THOSE RULES AND HAVE BEEN RATED NUMBER 1 IN MY FIELD FOR MANY YEARS WHILE IN RADIO. WHEN I AM HIRED FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY OR EVENT I PUT MY OVER 26 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO WORK. I DO NOT HIDE MY PROFESSIONALISM OR EXPERIENCE WITH PARTY FAVORS, MARQUEE SIGNS OR EVEN PARTY PLANNING. I AM A DJ/RADIO ANNOUNCER/MC NOT A PARTY STORE, A SIGN SHOP OR A PARTY PLANNER. JUST THE SAME IF YOU WERE TO HIRE A BAND, THEY WOULD NOT BE SUPPLYING THE PARTY FAVORS AND SUCH. I CAN, HOWEVER, HELP WITH GUIDELINES FOR WEDDING RECEPTIONS, BIRTHDAYS, PARTIES AND EVENTS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU HIRE A DJ THAT YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. BUT UNDERSTAND THIS: PRICE ALWAYS DOESN'T QUALITY. THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT WILL CHARGE YOU AN ARM AND A LEG AND PROVIDE YOU WITH PARTY FAVORS, PARTY PLANNER AND EVERYTHING BUT IS THE DJ REALLY QUALIFIED? THEIR COMPANY MAY HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 20 YEARS BUT HOW LONG HAS THEIR DJ BEEN IN THE FIELD? TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ME, LOOK UNDER MY BIO PAGE. |
