Thank you to Samyukta Shaw and Husband Richard for booking me for their wedding. A fabulous evening with everyone up for a party.

As a DJ you’ve got to love a marquee as it means the haze machine can come out and make my lights and lasers look great.

When you’ve just gone for the cheapest quote you got! 😂

A bit of a different venue this afternoon for me. Sam’s Hen Party. Lots of cheesy girlie songs to come.

Lovely feedback from an April event:

Hi Reuben

Thanks for your email, it was a great night, despite my Dad dancing I did occassionally stop to look around the room to see everyone having a good time, thanks for a great disco, it went down really well.

Just love getting feedback like this:

"Although asking you to come along with your disco was a bit of a late decision, it was probably the best thing we did. Your amazing light show and music was the icing on the cake, it was all so professional. It was obvious how everything would have fallen flat, between, and after the Abba Girls performing without your amazing set up. The tone of your presentation and fabulous music selection hit just the right note. From the many messages of congratulations we have since received, it is clear everybody who had come along also agreed with us.

Thank you for the music!"

Saw this and thought it was of interest.

A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE:

A customer asked a DJ how much it would cost to perform at their party.

The DJ gave him a quote: £500

The customer responded: That’s seems really high.

The DJ asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job?

The customer answered: £200 maximum

The DJ responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself.

The customer answered: I don't know how to.

The DJ said: Alright, then how about for £150 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you £50, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future.

The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it!

The DJ responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some equipment. You will need a controller, laptop, music collection, speakers, lights, assorted cables, a stand to put your kit on, a van to transport it all, etc..

The customer answered: But I don't have any of that and I can't justify buying all of these for one party.

The contractor responded: Ok. Well then for an additional £250 I can rent my kit to you to use for this party and for £100 you can use my music collection. You know it’s worth about £15000 in total so you’re getting a good deal.

The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair.

The DJ responded: Great! I will start training you on Monday.

The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends and evenings.

The DJ responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to be available when I am. I work weekends and evenings. This training will take 5 days so you will need to take 5 days off work. You need to learn how to set everything up, how to use everything and how to choose the right music.

The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 5 days or use my holiday! I won’t be able to mix with my guests at the party either.

The DJ responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors.

The customer answered: What do you mean by that?

The DJ responded: Doing a party completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the party music, travel time, petrol/diesel, set up time and take down time. That’s all in addition to the actual party itself.

The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a party than what a customer sees in the finished performance . Your quote of £500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the party.

CONCLUSION:

When you pay for a party, you pay not only for the performance and the party to be completed. You also pay for:

✔️ Knowledge
✔️ Experience
✔️ Custom Skills
✔️ Equipment
✔️ Time to travel
✔️ Time to prepare
✔️ Professionalism
✔️ Work Ethic
✔️ Excellence
✔️ Discipline
✔️ Commitment
✔️ Integrity
✔️ Taxes
✔️ Licenses
✔️ Sacrifices
✔️ Liabilities
✔️ Insurance

If you request a quote for a party, please don’t disrespect a DJ by trying to get them to lower their prices.

If their quote exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other quotes.

Just remember.. you get what you pay for.

👉🏼 SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it.

👉🏼 CONSUMERS: Recognise their worth and be respectful of it.

Amazing feedback. Thank you so much.

As a DJ there are many aspects of job satisfaction but a full dance floor all night long has got to be the best.

11/11/2023

I'm out gigging tonight so put my equipment up this afternoon and took some photos and videos of my set up to give you an idea of what kind of light show you get when you hire my disco.

I performed at a 80s Fancy Dress Hallowe’en Ball last night. Great feedback from the organisers:

N&HNYMC 80’s Halloween Party

Now that the dust has settled and the alcohol has worn off a little, I would like to say huge thanks to some people that made THE 80’s Halloween Party possible.

So thank you to:
…

Reuben Freeman (Fine Time Events) who played some banging 80’s tunes, kept the party going, the dance floor full and assisted with musical interludes during our games.

…

Thank you 🙏
