What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?
To be able to provide a fully comprehensive quote to an organiser, I'll need to know about the timings of the event and how much total entertainment time they will need. I also need to know if I'm performing alongside any other suppliers.
Most importantly, gaining an understanding of the organiser's preferences and expectations for the event, allows me to tailor my services to exactly what they are looking for, and get it right first time. So things like music preferences and favourite songs, will allow me to only provide exactly what they're wanting.
Finally, the little details such as power availability for plugging my equipment in, the area where I'll be performing and if it is covered from potential rain or not
What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
To hire a DJ, I would encourage a customer to ask about the background of the DJ and what type of events they have DJ'd at before. You should also ask about the equipment they'll be using, which will allow you to understand whether this DJ is investing in new industry standard equipment, or whether they are still offering an old style with old equipment.
To hire a Singer, a customer should be asking about what styles of music and genre they can and like to sing. Also ask if they have any videos or social media so that you can check out what their performances are like, and also their reviews.
Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.
Music has always been a significant part of my life. Growing up, I entertained my family during vacations, participated in talent shows at school, either with a band or solo, and took part in far too many Karaoke nights, which became a valuable testing ground during my college years and beyond. At 18, I joined a local Wedding Entertainment & Karaoke Company, where I hosted karaoke nights and DJ'd for various events, providing ample opportunities for style and confidence development.
At 25, after a career working abroad for 4 years, I joined Bespoke Disco, based in Devon in the UK, who provide Award Winning Wedding Entertainment for weddings and events all across Devon, Cornwall and parts of England. Here, I was able to develop my DJ’ing and Hosting abilities further, before joining The Swing Kings, also based in the South West, as a Vocalist / Singer for the many weddings and functions they undertook yearly.
This time spent with Bespoke Disco and The Swing Kings gave way to great development and growth for me, leading towards the standard of Singer, DJ & Host I am today.
Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?
Through Add To Event, I was booked to DJ for Sienna's 18th Birthday. Communication with her mum Kelly was easy in the run-up to the event. Kelly knew what to expect, thanks to my profile and the calls we had beforehand.
After the event, Kelly left me a 5* review without any prompting, which massively boosted my profile and helped to set me apart from other suppliers.
I would definitely recommend Add To Event to others because it provides a brilliantly simple and efficient way to begin advertising your services to potential clients, and to send quotes for your services with ease, putting yourself right in the lap of those clients and moving you quickly towards making an income. Add To Event has massively helped me get going as a self-employed DJ and Singer, and I'm sure to be using this website for the foreseeable future.
