Wedding DJ in St. Pete

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...

Do you need a Live Event DJ?

Image
Have you ever been to a live event? Maybe you’re familiar with the traditional conversational hum that’s associated with a trade show floor. Maybe you’ve seen a motivational speaker do a keynote at a sales conference. Maybe you’ve been to a live promotional event. Being a DJ and an Entrepreneur, I’ve both performed at and attended several live events. One thing that all events have in common is the engagement factor. Simply put, once things get boring, people leave. If not physically, they check out mentally, making a lot of the content and sales efforts futile as the attendee sits in either complete overwhelm or utter boredom. And when you’re attending another one of those conferences that’s notorious for 12 hour days with limited breaks and information and sales overload, it’s really easy for your audience to check out. With that said, businesses must constantly strive to find ways to peak interest and increase attendee engagement to help improve attendance and maximize sal...

Average Wedding DJ Cost

So in this article, I’m going to try to give you a better understanding of how much it costs to hire a DJ. We will look at how the pricing spectrum differs between different professionals, how Event Type makes a difference in pricing, and how Event Timing, Location, and Equipment Needs all factor into determining price when booking a DJ for your next event. 1. Different Professionals Will Command Different Prices.  This is a really important concept to understand. Much like any market, there will be products and services of the same type that have a lower price point and products and services of the same general type that will have a higher price point. It’s the difference between a Kia, a Toyota, and a Mercedes. All are Cars. Each represent different price points in their shared market. Such is true with Djs. Let’s imagine that you really want Calvin Harris to do a DJ Set at your birthday party. I’m sure you can imagine that his price is going to be significantly differe...
