They Took Back the Night!

The 2013 Take Back the Night rally and march, took place on April 4th in Ann Arbor.  Take Back The Night provides awareness about sexual violence and rape.  It empowers survivors to reclaim the right to be free from violence and have their voice be heard.  The DJ Guy volunteered services for the rally portion of the event.

Limited TIme Special...

Last month, The DJ Guy experienced an uncontrollable loss of communication with clients due to my main contact phone number being accidentally removed by my cellular provider during a porting error.  After dozens of phone calls and countless hours talking to various customer service agents who said "the number cannot be restored," I finally got through to someone who knew how to do it.  The number has been restored, but the damage has been done.  During the week my phone number was lost in limbo, my website traffic peaked (commonly a busy weekend for bookings) and no one could contact me other than through email.

Here's how my loss, is your gain.

For the next two weeks, I'm rolling back prices.  Book during this time and you'll get $150 OFF the regular price of any wedding package.  This offer is not valid holiday weekends (as many of those dates are already booked or soon will be).  This is the largest discount I have ever offered and it will not be extended or offered again.  If you're thinking about booking a DJ for your wedding, NOW is the time to do it.

Call or email me and I'll be happy to setup a meeting with you to privately discuss the details or your wedding.

2013 is off to a great start!

It's been a very busy first week of the new year.  We're just nine days in and I've already met with 5 couples planning their weddings.  Things haven't slowed down much either.  This month I've got 7 bookings and next month is shaping up to be pretty busy too.

In case you're wondering, people do get married in February, but that's not all...  I've got two weddings, a swim meet, two birthdays, and two school dances.

On top of that, I've got some great specials running right now!

The (not so) "Off Season"

If you've been looking for blog posts here, you've probably been wondering why you haven't seen anything recent.  It's the slow season right?   I should be posting more.

Normally, that would be the case, but something changed this year and I'm not complaining one bit.  November has been one of the busiest months I've had in a while.  Ten gigs in a month that I would normally get 3 and call it a good month--what's going on here?

My guess is that YOU (my clients) have been spreading the word about The DJ Guy.  For that, I thank you very much!

If you're planning on heading out early for Black Friday specials, you'll find me at the Nike outlet store in the outlet mall in Howell on Thanksgiving night from 10 PM to 3 AM.  Then I've got a high school reunion the next day and a wedding the day after that.  That's just one weekend!

Bookings for 2013 have been very strong with gigs in every month through October at this point.  If you know someone planning a wedding, now is the time to book, because in a few months, there won't be any openings left.  I've already had to turn down two weddings.

Lastly, the holiday season is here and I'd just like to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Wedding Floor Plans for Success!

I've been telling clients for a long time that DJ placement is VERY important when it comes to a wedding.  You can just shove your entertainment into a corner and hope for the best.  A lot of wedding planners will try to convince you of this.  They are NOT sound professionals so don't let them talk you into putting the DJ in a corner or behind guest tables.

The DJ in this video explains it very well.  The only difference is the sound system he uses probably isn't as flexible as mine.  I have the capability to angle speakers at different times of the reception and for that reason, I prefer the second to the last floor plan that he shows.  That one allows me to angle speakers outward (towards the corners of the room) until the dancing starts.  At that time, I would angle them towards the dance floor, allowing the non-dancing guests to have a conversation without being blasted with sound.  To me, that is the ideal setup.  The last floor plan leaves no choice but to blast the entire room during dancing.

As a suggestion, here's the ideal floor plan...
