One of my many pet hates is seeing a picture of a mobile disco and all across the front of it is a

GIANT ADVERTISING BANNER

For me it is one of the most unprofessional things a DJ can do, advertise their services at someone elses formal event.

From time to time, I like to surf around and look at other DJ’s websites to see what they are up to and I am consistently shocked to see other DJ’s who call themselves professionals have pictures on their websites of their equipment at a wedding, with a huge unsightly banner across the front.

Now, feel free to bring your banner to a Bridal Show where you are advertising directly to people booking services for their big day but please leave it at home when performing!  If anyone at an event is interested in your services they will come over and ask for a card.

Another hate of mine is the DJ who invites prospective clients to your party.  Again, there is nothing worse than watching a couple of “unknown people” walking through the reception room and chatting to the DJ whilst he is meant to be working for YOU!.  Or even worse, having your DJ dissappear for 10 minutes to talk to them OUTSIDE the room!

If you are paying for his time and experience to play music at your party, the very least he or she can do is devote 100% of their time to that task and not spend 20 minutes or so selling their services to someone else.

Moving on now to the DJ who likes to take phone calls during your party, or the one spending huge amounts of time text messaging his mates all night – another classic example of where you are paying for someone to give you and your guests a party to remember, not for them to spend the whole night chatting to their mates.

So, whilst looking for a DJ to play at your party you might want to take all of the above into account when narrowing down your list.  I’m pleased to say that no DISCOfever DJ falls into any of the above categories so your list has already been narrowed down!

I’m waiting for your call!
