5 Suggestions On How To Make Your Facility More Vendor Friendly


Let’s be serious. There are facilities that we love to play at and others that we tend to cringe when we realize where we are going. It’s not that we would refuse to work at certain facilities, but it would be nice if everyone worked together just a bit more for the sake of the client. 
Here are some things to think about when looking around your facility to see if you are vendor friendly:

  • Risers—risers may be nice for a band, but as DJ’s, it’s just one more obstacle that we need to pick up our gear and place on top. A simple banquet table (6 or 8’ skirted) is all we ask for.                     
  • Loading/Unloading—do you have an area where the DJ needs to come in? Is it clear and are the hallways wide enough for us to roll in our gear? Stairs and curbs are a DJ’s worst enemy. Most of our gear is either designed with wheels or to go on a cart with wheels. Some DJ companies even charge an extra fee for facilities with stairs or inconvenient access.
  • The Meal—we don’t expect to be fed before or at the same time as the bride and groom, but waiting to feed us last just doesn’t work. We need to be back in “work mode” by that time. The quicker you feed the photographer and DJ, the quicker we can get things rolling after dinner. It’s just better for the client that way.
  • Electricity—are your outlets identified with circuit numbers? Do you have enough circuits available? For larger events, we require a minimum of 2—15 amp circuits. 
  • Staff—have staff available during the dancing.  Why? Guests have a habit of taking drinks in glasses on the dance floor and inexplicably dropping them.  It's not good for the client, if we have to stop the music to find staff to clean up broken glass.

Nicole & Conor - April 16th

Image
Destination Wedding - Montego Bay, Jamaica After leaving a 38 degree and overcast Connecticut, the 82 degree weather was welcomed for the much anticipated wedding of Nicole & Conor, who had arrived several days earlier at Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort. Also arriving earlier was our good friends Brian & Kate from Brian Ambrose Photography who are capturing and documenting pre-bridal and post-bridal events in their unique way.  It's a great pleasure working with a professional like this, so far from home, who's only interest is to make sure that we work as a team in the best interest of the Bride & Groom. After settling in, we met with Nicole & Conor for our pre-bridal consultation and also scheduled an appointment with our Sandals wedding coordinator Jill, plus a full dress rehearsal ceremony before the Rehearsal Dinner.  In the notably laid-back style of the island, I had to coordinate with the house DJ who was providing on-site sound reinforcement, wit...
