If you are doing your research for a Wedding DJ, Corporate DJ, or
entertainment for a special event, you have probably looked at quite a
few pictures of Mobile Dee Jay equipment. It's posted all over many of
their websites. Boy they're sure proud of all that gear! However, unless
you're in the business yourself, or work for a Guitar Center or big
music store, you probably don't know the difference between Bose and
Behringer.
If you own a house and need remodeling done, do you go to a contractors
website and see pictures of table saws, drills & big extension cords? (
“Oh Honey, Let's hire this guy, he uses Big Guy tools!”)
I think you're smarter than that.
Let's face it, Professionals use professional gear, However,
Professional gear does NOT make you a Pro! It's a combination of natural
talent, personality, experience, and training that results in a
Professional Entertainer.
Here's a quick example;
I was hired to entertain at a party at Ferg's Sports bar on 4th Street
in St. Petersburg. It was Summertime and we were having one of those
thunderstorms Florida is famous for. Just as the guests started to
arrive, ZAP! BOOM! Lightning hits a transformer down the street and all
the power on the block goes out. Now at this point, it didn't matter
what the quality of my equipment was, fortunately, we were downstairs
and had plenty of light and a breeze, so for the next two hours, I
entertained the guests, (adults and kids alike) with games, contests and
some trivia. Not only did the party go on, several people commented on
how much fun they were having and the client actually paid in full and
TIPPED me at the end of the event for a job well done.
So, in the end, equipment is something a professional DJ can use to
provide sound re-enforcement, amplify music or speech, but it is not the
main reason to hire an entertainer for a once-in-a-lifetime event.
