G Tyme Music would like you to ask yourself these questions before you plan your next event:
If I invite 200 or 300 of my closest friends and family, do I want them to have an okay Time, or do I want them to have a great time?
Will the ice sculptures and decorations make or break my event, or will the entertainment Be the most important element to get my guests having fun at the party/reception?
Successful or not. It has been proven time and time again that the entertainment you select
For your reception or special occasion is responsible for 80% of the memories you will
Have for the rest of your life about that special occasion.
G Tyme Music would like to provide some common comments you may have heard:
The DJ showed up late or didn’t show up at all. They didn’t play what I asked them to play. The DJ played music I specifically asked them not to play. The DJ that showed up we never met or even knew their name until they introduced themselves to us that day of our Wedding. Their equipment sounded horrible, we could not understand the DJ and people could not hear in the back of the room i was very dissatisfied. We could go on and on, unfortunately, but we will save you the time. Brides and Grooms will spend thousands of dollars on the location of their reception, food, beverages and dcor but will cut corners on their entertainment because they are the lease of our worries.
No one will instantly recall if the beef or chicken was over cooked or if you had a balloon or floral archway but they will remember if they had a great time and enjoyed themselves dancing the night away.
How one categorizes a DJ. We will take the standpoint of the difference between the Professional DJ and the DJ that has little to no experience.
Professional DJ’s use professional equipment and not home stereo equipment. Professional DJ's will meet with you in advance and listen to your ideas and help plan your reception or special occasion. Professional DJ’s will not try to be the focal point of the party. The Bride and Groom should never share the spotlight! Professional DJ’s play the music that you would like and not what they want to hear. Professional DJ’s will be setup on time with time allotted in for reasonable early arrives or any delays that may occur. Professional DJ’s WILL NOT subcontract your event without first having it approved by you. Professional DJ’s will have many references of clients and business professionals. Professional DJ’s always use contracts for your and their protection. Professional DJ’s have liability insurance if a mishap should happen. Professional DJ’s will not invite potential clients to your event to view their performance. A DJ can not give you and your guests 100% of their attention if they are trying to sell to other uninvited guests. These are just a few items and by no means are the written word that a DJ must meet all of these requirements.
However, they are a few major points to take into consideration when making a decision on your entertainment company.
Back to price – Does this mean the higher the price of the DJ the more Professional they Are?Simply put - No.
But consider this if you go down the list of DJ’s in your area and The average price is $400.00 to $1000.00 why would some DJ’s quote or undercut the average price $200 Dollars or more, why are they willing to charge so much less? DJ's are not all created From the same mold or fabric and using this information could help prevent your dream Reception from becoming a nightmare.
Food for thought:
A photographer might say, “We capture the moments that last a lifetime.”
But a Professional Disc Jockey will create the moments for photographer to capture for a lifetime.
