So you’re looking at booking some fab entertainment for your wedding and you’re leaning towards a Melbourne DJ instead of a Melbourne wedding band? Great choice! They’ll bring along their own professional equipment, they’ll look and sound amazing, they’ll get the party rockin’, they’ll play all the right music, they’ll even let you choose your own songs.
Right?
How do you know? Unless you meet them beforehand, see and hear them in action, it’s a hard call, isn’t it?
During my 18 years as an MC and entertainer, let me tell you, I’ve seen some disappointed brides and grooms who have been ripped off by unprofessional DJs –– shifty operators who have turned up looking scruffy, whose equipment may as well be a home stereo unit, who turn up late, or don’t turn up at all, who haven’t even got a copy of the bridal dance.
That’s why we love working with Griffin Alliance. With these guys, you don’t have to worry about any of these risks. I respect the fact that all Griffin Alliance DJs are professionally trained and experienced in weddings and functions. That’s a point I can’t emphasise enough to brides and grooms who, let’s face it, are probably booking entertainment for the first time in their lives.
And since it’s your first time, you can’t be expected to know the ins and outs of how entertainment is run on the night. I’ve seen brides and groom make their grand entrance to a big fat silence because the DJ hasn’t bothered to communicate with the wedding co-ordinator, or is outside having a smoke instead of manning the decks.
Incidences like that would never happen with Griffin Alliance. These guys keep on their eye on the ball and their head in the game, so they’ll never miss a moment. And only a professional wedding DJ will know to follow your schedule closely, will be able to provide guidance on timings and types of music, and will ensure all your entertainment needs are met –– whether it’s a special song for your dad, or a microphone for the speeches.
And these guys actually enjoy what they do. Your wedding isn’t just another gig to them. They care about your big day, they care about their music and importantly, care about their reputation.
You’ve probably heard the term ‘attention to detail’. It’s thrown around a lot in the wedding industry, in online advertising, on brochures. But let me assure you, I can confidently say it applies 100% to Griffin Alliance. Your entertainment is in no safer hands. These are DJs you can trust, DJs who will give their all to make your day the best you hoped for.
Whether you’re feeling that you don’t know much about planning your entertainment, or whether you know exactly what you want from your DJ, these guys will deliver.
It’s pretty rare for me, as a live entertainer in a Melbourne wedding band, to want to promote what is essentially my competition, but a wedding is wedding –– the one day of a couple’s life where they can’t afford to take risks. So if your heart is set on a DJ, I would wholeheartedly point you in Griffin Alliance’s direction.
