Introduction
DJs are sometimes viewed with suspicion by the owners of wedding estates and venues. Why this reluctance? What are the concerns of the managers of these reception venues?
On the one hand, owners have invested time and resources in fitting out and maintaining their venue. On the other, the wedding DJ is hired by the couple to provide musical entertainment and an unforgettable lighting atmosphere. However, the bulky equipment they bring and certain technical aspects of their set-up can worry managers.
Let us look at the main sources of concern and how a professional DJ such as Jour Précieux DJ Paris can address them effectively.
The main concerns of venue owners
Before, during and after the DJ service, several things can worry owners:
- Potential damage: risks to walls, skirting boards and floors (scratches, adhesive marks, damaged varnish).
- Noise nuisance: complaints from neighbours due to excessive volume.
- Heat loss: doors left open causing loss of heating or air conditioning.
- Safety: fear of cold sparks scattering black powder, or of fog machines setting off fire alarms unexpectedly.
- Electrical overload: although modern DJ equipment uses little power, the fears remain.
- Keeping to schedules: concern that the DJ will run over the allotted times, resulting in extra costs for the couple.
- Forgetting closing precautions: lights left on or doors left open after the DJ leaves (often the last to leave the premises in the early hours).
Faced with these concerns, some venue owners or managers may adopt a distant, even hostile, attitude towards DJs. Yet a harmonious collaboration is essential to ensure the success of the evening.
The importance of professionalism in a wedding DJ
An experienced DJ knows how to reassure the owners of wedding venues and ensure a completely safe set-up. At Jour Précieux DJ Paris, we take the initiative to build a relationship of trust:
- Contact in advance: several days before the wedding, we talk with the owners to check together the conditions for setting up and using the equipment.
- Confirmation of technical requirements:
- Electrical power required
- Permission to use fog or spark fountains
- Compliance with sound levels in decibels (on this important subject, read this article)
- Availability of storage space for the empty flight cases.
- Parking spaces for the van
- Presentation of our professional liability insurance: peace of mind for owners.
- Strict adherence to schedules: set-up and take-down in line with the conditions agreed beforehand.
