2016 will mean a much more active blog presence for JR Productions DJ. Original weekly articles covering many aspects of Special Event Planning from the perspective of a professional MC/DJ will give you a lot to think about when planning details or hiring vendors for your special event.

You may have a clear vision for your event but are you aware of the many pitfalls and common mistakes that could be likely to sabotage your best laid plans? Chances are that you have not done a great deal of event planning yourself, why not consider the professional opinion of somebody with a lot of experience?

After all, isn't experience what you are really paying for when you hire a professional? There is a lot more to any job than just having the neccessary equipment, tools and/or materials. Those things can be rented, borrowed or bought. True experience and proficiency only comes from doing something many times while striving to make constant improvements.

This blog will be an invitation to learn from my experience and in that process help you plan and execute better special events.

A Video Is Worth A Million Words! 2015

Is Your Date Available? Call Or Text 970-581-6298 ANYTIME To Check Availability

It is VERY rare that I get to see other DJ's in action. I watch photographers, planners, videographers, caterers and venue staff at work and in action all the time. Getting to see another DJ in action is very rare for me. In the industry we do have conventions and trade publications which provide us with ideas and give us a clue as to what is trending and how DJ's might be doing certain things. The catch for this is this; I have to rely on what they tell me, I am not able to see these professionals in action. I have to apply my judgement based on my experience as to whether or not something will work for me and the clients I serve. I could always just take their word for it. I don't like that. In fact most people wouldn't like this when something as important as life long memories are at stake.

I want to see and I want to know what these things look like when applied in the real world. I think that you should too! Trusting in advertising slogans and promises will not insure a successful event. You need to know what you are getting and you need to know that is a good fit for your personality and for the personality of the event itself. It is that simple. This my reasoning behind getting video clips of me in action. You get to hear my voice and get to see how events flow into one another without needing to been at an actual event. Of course it's even better if we happen to cross paths and be at a party where you get to see how much fun everyone is having with your own eyes. Until then, there is always Youtube.

Greeley Colorado - Main Street Matters

On April 11th I was hired to work a promotional community event for the first time. They needed two separate sound systems, one for the speeches and another to be set up in a nearby park for the after party.

It was a very good mental exercise to set up so much of the same equipment that I do for weddings but in such a different context for an all new purpose. I would have to say that I really enjoyed being a part of the event and hopefully a little more of this type of work will come my way in the future.

Top 200 Wedding And Event Requests From Last Year

The very best DJ Event Planning software has released the top 200 requests from 2013! This is always fun to look over and see what new smash hits have cracked this list. It would be even more interesting if we were told which songs were cut out of this "best of the best" list. I may be blogging about some surprises I see on this list in the coming months.

This list is a very good reminder to me just how important it is to be able to read a crowd and not just know what to play but just as importantly you have to know when to play a song or even to not even play it all.

I just wonder how many rookie DJ's take a list like this and think that they are making all the right decisions and then blaming the crowd. There are no bad crowds, just entertainers that can either adapt and deliver or entertainers who crash and burn.
