Why You Should Book Your DJ First
Often, when planning events, clients book DJ’s as their last vendor. Next time you need a DJ at your event, consider booking the DJ before your other vendors. Why you ask? Ideally your DJ is experienced and has interactions with numerous vendors all over your region. For example, Disc Jockey Boston can recommend various photographers, caterers, event planners, videographers, photo booths, bands, stings, etc., all over New England.
Don’t end up like the post’s party:
As it turns out, the caterer, as I discovered later, had a bad reputation and was referred to by my fellow DJs as the “Sit-Down Caterer”.
When you hire a DJ first, you can get perspective on the potentially dozens of vendors that the DJ works with every year. And even if you don’t choose someone your DJ recommends, they may be able to shed light on aspects that you may not have even thought of.
From my years of experience, I know certain venues and caterers to avoid as well as vendors and best practices to employ. As the post says:
At the very least, a great DJ can recommend a planner that can oversee the whole process and prevent calamity…
At Disc Jockey Boston, we make note of vendors who deliver impeccable service on the same level that we do, so our clients get the benefit of our experience. To avoid dissatisfaction and hiring vendors blind, chat with your DJ before other vendors and get an inside scoop into industry leaders for your event before you start booking.
