Learn & Browse |
| |
I
first trust you've either one, heard good
things or two, spent alot of time visiting my website
or maybe both. I offer alot of good information about
my services,
my pricing and
even a little something about
me. |
| |
If you have any additional
questions, feel free to contact
me at any time. |

Consultation / Initial
Meeting |
| |
This is where we learn about you
and your wedding or event, and maybe progress to a booking.
It's pretty simple, but everyone works differently.
Some DJ's take a blind booking over the internet, some
require you to go through arduous meetings, silly sales
pitches and consultations before you'll even learn their
prices. I offer convenient options. |
| |
a) I
traditionally meet with prospective brides/grooms
at a place of their choice for an initial consultation.
This is the typical (though not "routine")
meet, greet and chat about your wedding or event
to see if we’ll be a good fit for each other. We'll
review your wedding or event, details and your desires
and determine if my services fit. You'll see pictures
of past events and receive a Wedding Information
Packet that includes pictures, pricing, and all sorts
of fun and exciting stuff.
|
| |
ONCE WE MEET IN PERSON, I AUTOMATICALLY HOLD
YOUR DATE FOR ONE (1) WEEK. No stress, no worries,
no cheesy sales calls to pressure you.
|
| |
b) It can also be done over the phone and definitely
an option if you live out of town or if simply comfortable
with doing so.
|
| |
c) As a final option, we can simply draft up a contract
covering all of your requirements and wishes and go from
there.

Booking: Contract & Retainer Payment |
| |
A signed contract and retainer payment
is required to officially secure your date. Once you
decide to move forward, let me know as soon as possible.
I'll "pencil" your
date in the calendar and start the booking process.
A contract will be drafted and will list all of
the specifics, options, enhancements, etc. Then, to
officially secure the date, we need: |
| |
- Signed Contract
- Retainer Payment (40% of the contract value)
|
| |
Once either one of these are received,
then I "ink" your
date into the calendar. I then ask that the other half
of the above requirement be received within 10 business
days prior to your event.. |
| 4. |
Everything You'll Need |
| |
Once the Contract and/or Retainer Payments are received,
I'll start setting up your account. I'll make copies
of the contract for your records, process your retainer
payment, and send you my "welcome and planning emails" .
This all happens within 1 week after Booking process
is complete. |
| 5. |
Long Term Planning |
| |
Over the next few months (sometimes
longer or shorter) you'll be working to develop ideas,
draft song lists, come up with all of your questions/concerns,
etc. Much of this is done on your own with your "DJ
Homework".
|
| |
**NOTE: Feel
free to contact me at anytime with anything. I don't
limit communication or correspondence and would love
to help out with anything you need. I know that some
vendors do and personally think it's a shortfall
of good service. |
| 6. |
Final Planning Meeting |
| |
As we near your date, we'll do a "final
detailed planning meeting" at the venue where
the event will take place and review, music, lighting
samples, etc. to finalize the fine details of your wedding.
This is usually done 1-3 weeks out. We will spend 30
min an hour or possibly two hours going through just
about everything: |
| |
- Timeline/agenda
- Music Selections
- Events & Activities
- And anything else!
|
| |
By the time we're done, we'll all have
a very clear picture of how everything will flow, look,
sound and feel. |
| |
Most
couples leave the meeting much more relaxed that we
have reviewed everything about their wedding in such
detail. |
| 7. |
My Preparation |
| |
Within the final week of your wedding,
I will work with the venue and/or other coordinator(s)
and vendors to ensure every detail that we reviewed is
covered. |
| |
Changes? No problem, I'm extremely
flexible with any change. Some DJ's require their "planning
information" 2 weeks in advance, without any changes
allowed after that. You can call me on the morning
of your wedding if you'd like!!! I"ll do my best
to make it happen. |
| 8. |
Have a Great Time, Worry & Stress Free |
| |
It's come down to event time, and you can be assured
that from this point on, your event will run smoothly
while you and your guests have fun! |
