Ever wonder what you’re getting when you’re meeting with a vendor for your event? Take time to write down the expectations and make it plain and clear in writing and in this tip we talk about how.

This episode we talk about a very important subject, how to make request at an event from the DJ. Covering such important points as;

-understanding it may be some time before your request gets played

-being present or at least keeping your ears open for when your song is actually played.

-not being that person who insist on playing it from their own phone.

-That and more

if you are a creative individual, or just work any creative space, you should always level up your gear ever so often. This episode in five minutes or less you breakdown why.

This episode is all about the ladies who, if we’re honest, hold all the power when it comes to events. But one day and one event in particular there is one woman who is the most important. And that’s the Bride.

If you want the deal, you have to respond quickly to inquiries. The bonus episode we talk about how and why.

This episode we breakdown common tips and tricks to still have a great time even if your family doesn’t dance. Especially in scenarios such as:

-None of my family dances

-Some of my family dances but not everybody does.

-My family only dance when.....

And we highlight ways to use these scenarios to your advantage to still have a great time and take pressure away from your attendees and guest that they must dance.

This episode we start the classic debate asking is it better to look good or be good. Do visual aesthetics carry more weight or merit than skill or does skill carry more merit than this aesthetics? Now ideally the perfect balance would be the perfect answer, however more times than not a vendor, coordinator, or attendee would be faced to ask themselves which matters more to them.

Whether you’re a vendor or planning an event or looking to hire a vendor there is a fine line between negotiating for the best price for the best product or service and just flat out being a cheapskate. This bonus episode highlights the difference between negotiating for the best results for both you and the potential vendor and just being a cheapskate in the effects that has on the industry as a whole.

To conclude everything week we highlight the importance of how placement matters when it comes to events.

-Doing a walk of the venue days or weeks before the event.

-Communicating with maps and diagrams via email before the event.

-i’ll even give a few real life examples of some successes and some failures of mine when it comes to preparedness of knowing where placement and how much it truly matters.
