Key To
Successful
Events |
 |
You want your event to be the best it can be. Not only throughout the
planning process, but also on the day of your special event and in the
memories you will have years to come. You deserve this and you want the
best for your family and guests.
We’ll be covering:
1. Your Need To Have The Best Party
2. Finding the Right Person for the Job
3. Embracing New Ideas
Your Need To Have The Best Party
Imagine it is your wedding day. You arrive at the reception site where
your celebration will take place. Everything is setup and in perfect
arrangement. Your room is aglow with candlelight.
The only problem is that your wedding dress and tuxedo are soaked up to
your ankles; it’s pitch dark everywhere and your guests are being guided
downstairs to the restrooms by your attendants with flashlights. All this
is happening because a lightning storm has knocked out all the power.
An experienced DJ would not be flustered by this. You want someone who is
not going to sit down and do nothing. You want someone who works as part
of your team.
I had the above situation happen early on in my career. I got on the phone
and called in the Backup Squad. We put a generator in the driveway, fired
it up, and ran the power inside. To the glowing candlelight of the
ballroom the bride and groom danced their first dance together. We saved
the party!
Finding The Right Person For The Job
It is unlikely that the power will go out at your event. You will want to
make sure your DJ has the poise, experience and mindset to overcome the
types of challenges that can make or break a party.
Some questions to ask when hiring a DJ:
http://www.adja.org/general/djHiringTips.asp
Have this conversation with a number of possible professional DJ’s. Do you
feel comfortable with the level of service they provide? Do they answer
their phone? When they answer their phone, do they answer it
professionally? You want your calls returned promptly.
Now you are getting a good feel for whom you would like to work with.
Let us talk about Embracing New Ideas.
You may have been to a few events in the past. However, now that you are
planning your own, you are looking at things from an entirely different
perspective.
You are the host.
If it is a wedding you are planning, this is a once in a lifetime event.
If it is a corporate event, your reputation is on the line and you want to
come out a winner.
Birthdays, Anniversaries, Mitzvahs, Reunions, Fundraisers and all other
events deserve to have the full attention from the people you hire to
create the success you desire.
This means using the expertise of the team you have chosen. You want to
trust the expertise of your professional entertainer. Your partner in the
success of this special event will listen carefully to your thoughts; and
have many questions to ask.
Someone who is serious about his or her profession will be creative and
innovative. What this means for you is if you want something different
than the last event you went to you can put together a plan using your
DJ’s expertise.
You want your DJ constantly looking for and creating new ideas. These
ideas will be appropriate to your wants and the need to succeed at your
party.
May I suggest you begin your search by considering the members of the
Chicagoland American Disc Jockey Association? These are committed
professionals who come together regularly to network, support the
industry, strive for, and invest in continuous education.
You will find a great resource of experience, ideas and a willingness to
help you have your vision of a fun celebration come to life.
Good luck and have fun!
