But my friend can do it……

But my friend can do it……

We here at Complete Music often hear this phrase from clients when they are shopping for DJ’s. Clients often feel the need to save some money on the entertainment for their wedding day or special event and will place their event in the hands of a friend.

If your friend is a professional DJ who has had hundreds of weddings and events under their belt, then by all means accept this generous gift for your special day.

But ……

Would you trust a friend to make your wedding dress, bake your wedding cake, cook your buffet, or create your invitations?

Of Course not!!!

Unless your friends include a professional dress maker, baker, caterer and printer you NEED to have someone who understands weddings and special events. This is why you need a professional DJ.

At Complete Music we not only have years of experience working weddings and events but we also train constantly to make sure our DJ’s are able to adapt to any situation that may arise at your event.

I recently attended a wedding where the Bride asked her cousin to DJ her reception. He showed up and plugged in his IPOD to a set of store speakers, pressed play, and walked away to enjoy the rest of the night.

As a guest I had no way of asking for requests, no way of knowing when the bride and groom where going to start their cake cutting or special dances, and no real control over what music was heard….needless to say the Bride spent most of the night trying to get the DJ to play another song that he didn’t have on his IPOD, do all the announcements for her event while trying to coordinate with the event staff.

This could have been your wedding.

We recently attended a company party where the DJ was also a company employee. About halfway through the show his lights stopped working and one of his speakers blew out. This happened because he was too busy enjoying himself and not paying attention to his equipment. So when the equipment stopped working, he had no idea how to fix it and that was the end of the company party.

As I said before, it’s wonderful to have friends who want to help and if you have a professional as your friend, please by all means go with them.

However if you’re like the rest of us, you have enough things to worry about for your special event. So leave it in the hands of professionals.

See you on the dance floor,
