Welcome to my blog. The first thing I want to impress upon you is that I am here to be of service to you. I mean really servicing you. I don’t want this to be about me. It’s about you and the wedding vendors I encounter along the way.
Sure, I’ve been in the wedding entertainment business now for 23 years. Experience has taught me to be involved with my bride and grooms and wedding vendors alike to truly get to know them.
I used to be one of those DJs who showed up, pushed the buttons, and didn’t say anything much or, more importantly, the right things. There used to be something awkward to me about saying, “Now, here is their first dance.” Yes, I used to say that and play the song.
Hindsight being 20/20, that’s awful. No personalization at all. Even saying “Mike and Amy’s first dance together” would be better than “Here is their first dance”.
I’ve come to realize now that I must need to know the bride and groom to truly understand them and fit them perfectly. So, when you ask a DJ if they can DJ your special day, make sure they are truly there to service and get to know you.
Put them on the spot and ask them, “How are you going to introduce our first dance?” Have fun with it and don’t be shy. A DJ who truly cares about you will get to know you first and mold and shape the introduction to you. It could a short story about you two and how you met or playing a song that means a lot to you two and why it does.
Well, this is just a start, there will be more insight. If you have any requests for future blogs, message me or post a comment. I will be glad to be of assistance. I have a busy schedule over the next few months and can’t wait to share pictures and stories from the weddings coming up!
I hope you enjoy it!
