You Get What You Pay For…

In my quest to find excellent examples of WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR when hiring a DJ while writing the forthcoming book Wed Without Regrets, I have been quite appalled and even disgusted at times by what I have found. This particular video demonstrates several of those completely unprofessional behaviors that I have been educating brides about for the past ten years. Aside from the fact that this DJ is either drunk and/or high while performing at this wedding, the incoherent shouting into the microphone, the mostly empty dance floor and inappropriately dressed companion with him, you will witness one of the worst acts of socially stunted behavior that I have seen caught on video to date!

Hard Lesson #2

A common theme that I have addressed here on this blog is warning newly engaged couples, who are planning their wedding, to be extremely wary of the ‘too good to be true’ deals that other DJs offer. True to that warning, I was made aware of yet another couple who were taken advantage of just over the state line in Maryland. As I have been writing about in my new book – Wed Without Regrets – far too often, people do not realize the value of professional service until it is too late.

Be sure to note that this particular incident involved a DJ company based in Ohio that provides DJ and Videographer services for less than what the American Disc Jockey Association recommends as the standard price for just a DJ performing for four hours at a wedding reception! The following two videos are TV news reports about just one of many so-called DJs companies across the U.S.

Hard Lesson #1

This girl finds out the hard way that there is a lot more to hiring a DJ than price alone. This particular DJ charged $500.00 for “services” rendered and unfortunately for the girl, he fulfilled his contract and her guests are truly offended. Just as unfortunate, she hired the DJ without ever meeting him or checking any references.

It’s an awefully hard way to learn the minimum basics of hiring a DJ for your wedding or special event…

Cheap Wedding DJ Gets Sued

If you have ever had doubts about the value of a reputable DJ, watch the following video! You’ll notice that the original contract was $650.00, but the jilted bride is suing for $3,000.00… Be sure to also watch Part II to see what happens next; it’s shocking!!!

One Awesome Wedding Cermony Entrance!

This video clip was sent to me by one of my previous clients. No we did not perform at this wedding ceremony, but it is one awesome example of what can be done to highly personalize a wedding reception and yes, even a wedding ceremony. It is high energy and fun, however doing something like this for the wedding ceremony must also take into consideration the parents of the couple as well as the grandparents – remember to include them as well. Enjoy!
