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!

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.  (more…)

Recently I returned from a much needed vacation in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  However while I was there, I had the time away from everything else to sort out my thoughts in regards to the “Wed Without Regrets” book that I am currently working on.  After an extremely busy wedding booking season for 2010, it was a great change of pace to collect my ideas.

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…  (more…)

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!!! (more…)

As I posted about back just before Christmas 2009, I am working on a new book that will be of interest to Brides-to-be and Wedding Vendors too.  The working title of the book has been changed to “Wed Without Regrets” and I am still playing with the subtitle.  The writing is currently on track for a Spring 2010 release date with approximately 20% of the book being completed now.  I am still looking for a reputable publisher, but at the minimum, the book will be available here, at DeeJayMasterMind.com and on Amazon.com to start things off.  (more…)
