“I do everything he does, but for less money…”

May 11
2009

In a recent post on his blog, my fellow DJ Nick Logan commented “If you’re looking at a photographer who “has great pictures but is much cheaper than everyone else”, ask yourself WHY that is”.  I found this comment extremely poignant and it really holds true for any service provider, DJs included.

If a DJ says he does everything for you that the recognised professional DJs do, but for a fraction of the Read the rest of this entry »

Mobile Beat DJ Trade Show in Las Vegas

Feb 20
2009

For the third time I made the pilgrimage to America for the annual MBLV DJ show. This trip is always incredible, as I get my enthusiasm boosted, catch up with the very latest developments in equipment and performance, but mostly because of the incredible knowledge sharing and ideas I get from other attendees. The one area where most DJs fail is in continual self improvement Read the rest of this entry »

Back from Las Vegas & Melbourne

Feb 09
2008

Wow. Just wow. I’m freshly energised, refocused and totally excited about the new direction, ideas and skills I’ve learned at the MC workshop and Mobile Beat DJ convention in America. The wedding at Bear Gully Cottages, 4 hours east of Melbourne straight after the convention was wonderful also and I look forward to the next few weddings here in New Zealand! This was the second wedding I’ve entertained at in Australia, following on from one in the Victoria Hotel in beautiful Port Fairy, about 4 hours west of Melbourne.

I’m proud to be one wedding DJ and wedding MC who insists on continuing to learn and invest in my professional development to the benefit of my clients. Too many mobile DJs don’t invest anything in this area, which is a great shame.

Going to America

Jan 24
2008

Shortly I am flying to Las Vegas to attend the 12th annual Mobile Beat DJ Convention. In addition to the incredible equipment and technology expo hall, there are a huge number of advanced seminars and networking opportunities. I last attended this convention in 2006 and my clients have since benefited greatly from the application of the advanced learning and new ideas I brought back.

In addition to Mobile Beat, I have also paid and booked a position in the Marbecca Method Advanced Master of Ceremonies Workshop. Very few New Zealand MCs and DJs do anything to improve their knowledge and skills, let alone such an intense two day course in America. It’s a big investment in time and money, but well worthwhile to help my clients enjoy the very best celebration possible.
