    TikTok ads?

    The difference between the other videos you see and this is that this is an advertisement for a wedding venue:.. a much more personal service/product. Your threshold for what you put out in the public domain shouldn’t just be what you’re ok with or doesn’t bother you… it should be of the highest...

    TikTok ads?

    beleive it or not, this is how many of the ads on tik tok are sounding. a 20 something speaking as if they're casually speaking to a friend and praising a service that they used. It's meant to sound more authentic and maintain attention instead of skipping over. The majority of content...

    TikTok ads?

    Do NOT use any footage that’s not your venue. The voice sounds super artificial. Everyone knows it’s not genuine. You’re better off going on fiverr nd separately paying for someone to do a voiceover. Also… technical aspect but still may come off confusing to some. The narrative says “their...

    New cold sparks

    Yeah I’ve seen this and know someone who has this. It’s definitely not something I’d put in a guests hand. I look at it like a co2 gun in use. I’m not sure I’d consider investing in this anytime soon as I have 2 concerns: - venues around here are already cracking down on regular sparklers with...

    I just ordered some new speakers.

    The speaker is very capable… like I said I have four original k12’s that I utilize at least one of at every event. They’re rock solid. The k12.2 are a little louder but the trade off is their reliability. I hope you have no issues at all. GET CASES! If not willing to invest in qsc branddd...

    I just ordered some new speakers.

    It’s nothing to do with user error. It’s faults in the firmware. The original k12’s are more basic in their function, which as a result has fewer issues. The k12.2 are more capable with additional features, but it’s also created more issues as a result.

    I just ordered some new speakers.

    I was waiting for someone to say this. These don’t quite have the reputation of the original k12 series. There’s a lot of firmware isssues and if you look on eBay there are countless people offering repair services for errors that appear. If it was me I’d get a used pair of the original k12’s I...

    I agree on some

    I think everyone has to make the best business plans for themselves. While for you, the physicality of the job takes a toll, for me that hasn't hit yet. Although I do make sure everything is on wheels and I always have help to minimize the lifting and physical toll. I think it gets harder around...

    I think that's where age comes into play. By your age I'm not expecting to rely on djing as my income. In fact my financial goals/investment strategies have been built upon a phasing out in my early 50's. Your goals may be different than mine with a 20 yr gap. I'm still seeking to grow my...

    I guess the majority of people have a vision that is within that "bubble" that you view as a negative characteristic. As a business though, I want to appeal to the most amount of people that are willing to pay my prices. To improve my chances I must connect very well with those age groups and be...

    Again, this isn't 2005 or 2015... I truly encourage everyone on here to go on social media platforms where the 25-35 yr olds are aka instagram and tiktok.... especially tik tok as there's more content there. Don't look at posts from who you know... look at feeds from actual brides and couples...

    With exception of that list being a bit excessive (95 song requests is unrealistic for a typical 4hr reception), I don't see how that list is much different than what I would expect. It has your fun older songs, as well as a bunch of songs relevant to the couples age group and reminscent for...

    The thing is what I’m doing is not just in the NYC/NJ/Philly area. I’m fortunate that I have clientele everywhere. Over the period of 2023-2025 I’ll have been or be going to the following areas: Winston Salem, NC (3x) Fayetteville, NC (2x) Norfolk, VA Falls Church, Va Danversport, MA Lancaster...

    I agree on some

    I do NOT choose every song at my weddings. Maybe 1/10 weddings am I given no playlist. However EVERY wedding I do I have a very precise idea of the direction I'm going in and the framework to the night. This all starts with the planning process. During my finalization one month before, when I...
