Advice for other DJs
Advice for other DJs - * This text may not be used elsewhere without the permission of the author
We are booked on many weekends-- so when we're unable to DJ an event, a lot of people ask ME what they should look for in other DJ services. Here is my advice for DJs.
Don’t try to be the center of attention; that is the responsibility of the bride and groom, not the DJ. Don’t talk too much; you are not a radio personality. The bride and groom need to be introduced only once, not every half hour.
Be a team player with the event coordinator, photographer, facility manager and any other person working the event. Don’t make changes to a written agenda provided by the clients or event planner without permission. You don’t know what situations or family dynamics may be involved and who you may offend. Be sure you read any written information given to you.
Don’t try to force the clients into your mold; if they don’t like to dance or it is not appropriate in their religion or culture, be sensitive. If they have other issues, respect them.
Don’t drink on the job. You are there to work, not socialize, and the clients expect you to be at your best.
Don’t engage in group participation activities or games without prior approval from the hosts. They are not appropriate for every group.
Don’t nickel and dime the client. Upcharging for every item doesn’t go over well. Instead, if you must charge for something, include it in your fee; don’t bill it separately. If something happens and you need to play for an extra 10 or 15 minutes (the limo doesn’t arrive on time, etc.), don’t make a production about it in front of the client.
As in every industry, by putting the client first and thinking about the effect of our behavior on them, we as professionals can help create a lovely and memorable event or we can be the cause of the bad memories. Focus on the good!!
There ya go! Send your other questions to us and we'll answer them!
