Ready for event season? Top DJs Brian B and Joe Bunn share what they're most looking forward to as their calendars fill with diverse celebrations. Joe anticipates a beach wedding for the third sister in a family where he's already created unforgettable experiences for the other siblings. These repeat clients have become true fans, attending his events and engaging with his content—the dream scenario for any service professional.

Meanwhile, Brian prepares for an eclectic lineup: a Sangeet featuring traditional Dola drummers, a high-end private school auction in Florida, and a wedding with an unconventional EDM playlist. His reflection on challenging events has Joe making this statement: "When they go well and it's different, I walk away thinking these people made the best choice hiring me." This highlights how versatility and expertise separate elite DJs from the competition.

We explore an innovative travel solution when Brian shares how a photographer friend crowdsourced $40,000 to purchase a residence at the Venetian in Las Vegas. This creative approach allows industry professionals to stay on the Strip without paying premium hotel rates while building valuable vendor relationships. Could this be the next big trend for private event DJs?

The Gear Corner features a practical recommendation every mobile DJ needs—a specialized travel garment bag that keeps performance attire pristine. At just $47, this half-garment, half-duffel hybrid ensures you'll never arrive at an event with wrinkled or compromised clothing again.

Finally, we tackle the balance between automation and personal touch in DJ businesses. Both Brian and Jos recommend automating repetitive tasks while maintaining direct involvement in critical client interactions. As Joe emphatically states: "I don't care how big or small your company is. You have to have a CRM, period."
