FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Rather than listing a flat rate, I base my pricing upon what the bride and groom expects me to do. That way I am able to work with the couple to give them the best value.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When doing a wedding, I like to do a meet and greet with the prospective bride and/or groom to review their expectations. I have a wedding package that I ask them to complete which includes things like date and time of wedding, venue, contact information both for them and for the venue, members of their bridal party, special songs, genre of music for reception, and a "do not play" list if applicable. This gets them to thinking about all the important parts of the reception and gives them a roadmap to follow when deciding on music selections. For all other events, I make all of the arrangements via a telephone call. If the venue is one that I've not worked in before, I try to arrange a walk through to determine load in, setup, and parking. It's always a bonus if the party host wants to meet up with me at the venue.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a practicing DJ for 25 years and have done events such as weddings and receptions, anniversary parties, bachelorette parties, birthdays, corporate events and theme parties to just name a few. Plus I have been emcee for local community festivals, parades, and school functions.
