Questions for starting wedding DJ business.

Well for one thing, I wouldnt ditch the mobile DJ to the curb that quick, I mean you already started early ya know, just keeps up with it, the gigs will come naturally.

Just because you are having a “dry spell” as a mobile DJ dos not mean you are giving it up. Just like djrizki said, dont give up on it so soon. Instead, expand your business along with what you already have established. Adding to a business means more ideas and therefore more options for customers and a broader customer base you can cover. Volunteer work is a great way to expand your name as well. Case in point, I had no intention of starting a mobile DJ business. I’m in the military, married, and have a steady pay check coming in, so way start a business? I just had fun in my room playing music. One, day I volunteered to do some communitee work with my Unit for the local county fair. Really small venue, maybe five hundred people from the whole town showed up. They had some live singers doing a talent show. The guy running the talent show brought a horible setup that was overheating and cutting out every third word a person was singing. It upset me some much, I ran home and loaded up my equipment. I came back told the guy to put on a 15 minute intermission. In that time I put up my set-up. Microphones, speakers, and my CDJ’s. The rest of the talent show went off without a hitch. After the show was over I continued to just play some music for the crowd. Just because I wanted to have some fun. The organizer of the event asked for my information which I gave. Off of the one event, I had ten different phone calls for parties and weddings for the next month. I had never done a party or a wedding before, but I continued. Always had a professional appearance, with an offical contract, and a questionarie with different party and wedding ideas, so the organizer could pick and choose what they wanted. Next thing I knew I was getting the calls to do the social gatherings for the Mayor of the town (Christmas tree lightings, award ceremonies). Unfortunately, it has been put on hiatus because, well, its hard to do a business when you move a lot and especially while you’re deployed, lol. When I decide to start it up again my first place will be to the Chamber of Commerce (every city has one) and drop my name for any volunteer work that is needed. Also, dont forget people also need PA, microphones, and A/v equipment for meetings and other events. Also, anytime you have an event have the primary contact fill out a customer review on your business. Keep it in a binder and take that binder with you to you intaial client meetings. Keep any websites you have promoting your business current and up to date. Always, always make new friends and hand out your information wherever you go. Hope the story wasnt to long.
