subject: 3 Scams To Watch Out For When Hiring A DJ [print this page] I don't claim to be the world's "best DJ" or anything like that
Firstly, because I hate referring to myself as a DJ - why? The amateurs call themselves DJs, the professionals do not, for instance David Guetta doesn't refer to himself as DJ David Guetta, he just uses his real name like a normal person.
Secondly, because calling yourself the "best" at anything is just pure lame - so many people claim to be the best at this, that or whatever which makes the statement completely meaningless!
When I got a call the other day from someone who needed a DJ for their wedding in two week's time because the DJ that they had originally hired wanted to charge them extra for playing a different song for each of the members of their bridal party as they entered the venue I couldn't help but chuckle, seriously, how hard is it to line up a few songs and play them in sequence, geez, it's not rocket science! And to top it all off, the DJ refused to refund their money how bad is that?
So if you're looking to hire a DJ for your wedding be sure to watch out for these common scams:
1. Being charged extra for playing the songs that you have requested.
2. Being charged extra for doing something that is quite basic and simple.
3. Not being able to get your money back if you are dissatisfied.
I may not have my own radio show or "bootlegged mix-tape" but I do understand that it's your special day and that a good DJ should:
1. Do everything within his/her power to play the songs that you have requested.
2. Have the basic skills necessary to organise and play the right music at the right time.
3. Provide you with a full refund if you are unhappy for whatever reason.
Besides, your wedding day is stressful enough without having to worry about all of these additional dramas!
