I have been a Counselor and Social Worker since 1993. When I decided to focus my attention and energy to being a full-time Wedding DJ, I was concerned that I would not get the opportunities to support others the way I have professionally for such a long time. I still am a Program Director part-time but a professional Wedding DJ is a different animal. It has surprised me how wrong I was. I feel like sometimes I am more helpful as a professional Wedding DJ than as a social worker because I am able to affect change directly when the situation calls for someone to be flexible, creative and willing to manage a crisis. Tonight was one of those nights.
I am fortunate that I never get hired by the co-called ‘bridezillas’. They don’t hire me for some reason. What I do get are Brides and Grooms looking for someone who is willing to work with them to create an event that is theirs. Tonight I was contacted by a Bride whose Wedding DJ did not work out and her wedding is in a few weeks! The date she was needing, I am already booked. I quickly contaced one of our best MC/DJs and checked to see if he could make it work for her. He could!
I called the Bride and we found a way to get everything perfect in a matter of an hour! It was like it was meant to be for us to connect and make sure she has an amazing wedding. I know it made her night, but mine too! I feel so good to have been able to support her and get her set for her wedding so quickly.
I know most Wedding DJs will raise the price due to last minute gigs, especially weddings, but I offered her a discount since we wanted to make sure she was happy and relieve her stress about her music for her Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception.
Tonight was a good night for this Wedding DJ.
