I’ve been working in the music industry for years, there’s no question that this is my life. Literally. 🙂 Unfortunately, not everyone gets the chance, and not everyone strives to make a living from what was once their hobby. Perhaps that’s why I try to get the most out of the DJ profession. In this field, it’s not only important for me to continuously develop professionally as a DJ, but also to always be up-to-date with new music and open to newer trends.
In today’s world, more and more DJs are appearing on the market, more and more people want to sell themselves as disk jockeys just because they have a player and, in the best case, can play two songs one after another at an amateur level. Anyone who just looks down and fumbles with the buttons and constantly has their headphones on will not be enough for you. At an event or wedding, you need to be an open-format DJ. However, this narrows down the number of potential DJ candidates to 5%. Unfortunately, this can be observed in several areas, with several professions facing similar problems. Even in photography, if you buy a professional camera and have a Facebook or Instagram page, you immediately think you are a photographer and can sell yourself as one. But it doesn’t quite work that way.
Most of these enthusiastic amateurs, for example, do not have the necessary permits, let alone professionalism. Here, entertainment comes first, which is coupled with a lot of practice and creativity, which must be routinely used.
How much is that?
It is worth knowing why one service provider works at double the price compared to another, or even half the price. You need to know what more they offer, what they can show for the price they ask. 🙂 Many questions arise in this regard: how musically educated are they, what quality of equipment do they use, do they have the necessary permits? For us – who work completely legally – it’s never good that many in the profession take on requests “under the table,” as they often damage the reputation of the DJ world. Since they don’t even deal with paying contributions, they obviously work cheaper. Unfortunately, using the right developments has a price, just like contributions and mandatory taxes. Although it’s strange to write this, the price doesn’t only cover the “musicality,” because in addition to including various paperwork and technical equipment, the accountant, lawyer, and marketing specialist also represent daily costs for us.
Quality!
Everyone must have come across this phrase. This word is often featured in many advertisements. QUALITY and its variants (professional, unique, etc.). What is the concept of quality? It is an everyday expression; we use it to measure the goodness or nature of something. The word that defines the nature of the given product or service. We often synchronize the meaning of the word with the price. So if something is expensive, then it is surely of good quality, but this is NOT the case. I have often experienced the opposite. If you see a DJ at a party and all their equipment is the latest, of the best quality, it doesn’t mean that they are good at what they do. But I have also seen examples of the opposite more than once. One thing is for sure, with bad/old technical equipment, it is much riskier, harder, and more time-consuming to put together a good party. This significantly reduces the chances and opportunities.
Quality DJ Service – everyone describes themselves and/or the service they offer this way. I will try to help you navigate this. To do this, let’s list the signs that indicate that we are dealing with a professional service provider.
– First-time communication
– How Flexible Are You (How willing are you to step out of your comfort zone?)
– Stable background (website, social media, references, reviews, achievements and awards)
– Professional equipment (what type of technical equipment they work with, e.g., a DJ console. By typing in the model, you can easily check on Árgép or Árukereső whether it is truly professional)
– The format of the music used (e.g., music downloaded from YouTube may not be the best solution)
– Communicating and dealing with guests
– Professional humility
If these are missing or partially missing, it is worth considering whether it is true that he is a professional.
Additional optional services and technical equipment
In addition to professionalism and legal clarity, I also pay attention to continuously developing and expanding my equipment. I believe that it’s not enough to show up at an event or wedding with just a DJ booth. That used to be sufficient, but today it’s not enough. To ensure a great atmosphere, I also provide extras, such as highly advanced lighting technology, intelligent moving heads, or even my bubble machine and real dry ice. These are all very spectacular and not only enhance the decoration but also significantly uplift the mood. While the music sets the basic mood, the lights put the finishing touch on it. Guests are guaranteed to remember the special experience provided by a professional DJ delivering an unforgettable show, and the special light shows also contribute greatly to the fantastic atmosphere. A DJ can also assist with other tasks besides music services, such as live music sound reinforcement, civil ceremony/ceremony/musical accompaniment, dinner/background music in professional quality, setting up multi-location sound systems even with wireless technology. Unique LED mood lighting adapted to decoration, which can even be adjusted to music/events. In addition to this, mixing music with studio work (e.g., for dances), creating slideshows for projector presentations, and their complete execution.
The latest extra among my optional services is wireless lighting technology. At your event or wedding, I can provide wonderful and stunning lighting, mood lighting, without a single cable crossing your path. There’s no need to fear someone tripping over a wire or to dread seeing a tangled mess of cables. This new technology is a very modern solution, and my clients already ADORE it.
I summarized all this so you can see why there are big differences between providers. On my website, you can find detailed information about the extra services I provide, and if I have piqued your interest, happy reading!
