Wedding shows – sane or insane?
Working as a professional DJ for years in the wedding industry, I’ve done my share of wedding shows.
The really big shows seem to be a “cattle-call” of sorts. I don’t know how any bride can spend a day (or even two) at a megashow, visiting 40 DJ booths, 100+ photographers, etc, and make any sense of it. In the handful of big, big shows I’ve participated in, it seems the great majority of the “leads” are really just looking for a great deal. I’m not against someone looking for a great deal, and I’ll work to stay within someone’s budget, but do you really want to put your reception into the hands of the cheapest available DJ you could find?
I know there are many good DJs in the valley. I’ve met quite a few of them. Some of the best I know are also, like me, recommended by Thee Wedding Warehouse. Kathy and her staff do weddings, 100′s of weddings every year. I think they’ve seen it all, so to speak.
On September 24th, Kathy and Thee Wedding Warehouse is holding a wedding show of its own. What makes this different? To participate requires more than money. You can’t just put down $$$ and get a table. As a matter of fact, our only expense is to help cover the cost of the rentals (tent, table, power, etc). The only vendors you’ll meet at this show are the ones invited by Kathy and Thee Wedding Warehouse to participate. In other words, it’s a show with 3-6 quality vendors of each category (DJ, catering, photography, etc). I feel honored to be a part of Kathy’s network.
If you want to meet vendors that are known for their quality of work, come out on 9/24 for the day. I’ll be there, as well as other great DJs in the valley. Pick any one of us and I will personally guarantee you’ll have a great reception.
Did I mention there are some great giveaways that day too?
