Wedding DJ in St. Pete

Image
In an effort to educate you so that you make your wedding entertainment choice a detail of higher importance than tablecloths and drapes, allow me to highlight 5 Things That Can Go Wrong On Your Wedding Day DJ Because of Your DJ!! 1. The Music You Want is NOT the Music You Get . When I work with my wedding clients, we make custom selections together for things like their entrance music, first dances, mother / son and father / daughter dances, etc. We customize and plan everything down to the pre-ceremony playlist and the dinner music to make sure that we create the vibe that is intended for each couple on their special day. BEST CASE SCENARIO – your DJ Misses one of these important cue points. Lets imagine walking to the center of the dance floor to dance your first dance, and instead of the song you’ve selected playing, you’ve got to awkwardly figure out what to do when the DJ cues up a different song. Do you dance? Do you wait for the right song? Everyone is watching. And thi...

How to Attract LGBT Audience To Your Venue?

Image
That said, with rapid social change happening all over the world, businesses will certainly be starting to take notice of the value of working with the LGBT community. Here’s a few of the top benefits of being inclusive and supportive of LGBT customers: 1. We Spend More . Economic Market Surveys over the last decade shows LGBT customers to have a higher income than the average of society, and more importantly, we spend comparatively more money on certain products and services. (A 2011 study conducted by the City of Philadelphia noted that the LGBT community spent an average of 57% more than other travelers in 2011.) 2. We Tend to Be Trend Setters and Early Adopters . LGBT customers tend to be more adventurous and enthusiastic to new trends. Which means we are more likely to be open to that new idea you want to try. Also, by winning gays as customers, companies could get easier access to other groups of society as well. 3. We Represent Loyalty in Growing Numbers . LGBT custo...

Read this before hiring a DJ

Below, I’ve shared a list of details that you should have in mind when hiring entertainment for your next event. Give these details to your vendor or event planner to make sure you feel confident that you’re getting exactly what you want going into your next event. Event Details Event Type  –  Let your DJ know the event type so that they have an idea for the flow of your party. A birthday party flows completely differently than a wedding or a corporate promotional event. Event Date  –  Having the exact date is necessary to be able to confirm vendor availability. Event Location  –  Many Event Djs will need to add additional pricing if your event is outside of their standard service area . Event Start Time  –  What time is your event supposed to start. Keep in mind what you’ve got listed on the invitations . Guest Arrival Time  –  This is especially important because ideally you’ll want your DJ and vendors in place and set by...

One of easiest ways to bring life to your next Corporate or Promotional Event is to add a live DJ! In the last article, I discussed ways to use a DJ to take your live event to the next level. ( Click Here  to check out that article) And while adding a DJ is one of the most versatile and cost effective ways to kick your event up a notch, it’s important to understand when selecting your entertainment, that playing for a party and playing a promotional event are two very different things. To be most effective, you’ll want to book a DJ who understands the 4 factors that impact standard song selection at Corporate and Promotional events. I’ve played several corporate and promotional events ranging from Retail Grand Openings for H&M and Tommy Hilfiger to and Beauty Trend Shows for Nordstrom, to trade shows for Florida Diversity Business Council, Rapid 3d Print, and SalesForce, to even 5k events for Life Link Florida and promotional give aways for GTE Financial.
