So things have been nuts over the past 3 weeks and check this, I've had 2 different people call about a last minute booking because their DJ cancelled on them. Brutal. Common denominator on both of these calls is that they didn't sign a contract with their DJ. Convo goes something like this:
Caller : I'm looking for a DJ for my wedding this Saturday
Me : Like this, this Saturday?!?!?! (Keep in mind it's Wednesday)
Caller : Yeah my DJ cancelled
Me : (after stunned silence) Well that sucks, but we'd love to help you out!
The first thing that comes into my head and what I really want to say "Who's the Douchebag DJ!??!?!". Yeah I understand you wanted to save some money, book a DJ off of Kijiji, etc. That's fine. But SIGN A CONTRACT!!! How and why should the onus be on you - the client - to find a DJ on a Wednesday for Saturday, when you have done everything right up to this point?!?! Hold these douchebag's accountable!!!
Not really much more to say than that.
Check out this clip - full on brilliant! Totally goes along with the theme of this post, but the video below is actually funny! Ha ha!
