I'm a straight shooter, when I'm wrong I'm the 1st to step up and admit it. I also won’t embellish.
1st) if I arrived at 11:45 there is no way I would be set to start by 12:20. I wish I was that fast but not the case. I left my house at 8:30 am because of the 90 minute ride. I did not foresee the volume of construction going on but I thought I had that covered I arrived at 11:15 not 11:45. I was not originally expected to play processional and recessional but offered too. That made me accountable, therefore at 12:15 they started no matter how I asked for just a few more minutes. 12:20 I would have been able to pull it together and I do assume full responsibility, but sometimes I just try too hard to give folks as much as possible. I played a traditional processional just because they needed something. In that 5 minutes I would have been able to adjust the squelch setting on the mic but within 30 seconds the official turned off the mic and had a loud speaking voice to my surprise. As far as the intro and 1st song I was spot on by that point and if putting my cover over the back of mixer box that took 2 clips and 30 seconds constitutes messing w the wires then guilty as charged.

We spoke about 5 times via telephone but never ended any conversation till I answered all of her questions. I never put a time limit on a client s call.

My friendliness should have been considered excellent since I as usual went around to each table and introduce myself and ask if there are any songs they would like to hear and of not please don't be shy. I do that at every event.

Afternoon affairs can sometimes be tough to get crowd going. With me it’s rare but this crowd was rocking from start of dancing to the end. The caterer also wanted me to end by 4 due to next wedding even though I was scheduled to 4:30. I spoke w banquet manager and was able to "professionally" convince them to please let me go till 4:30 since it was so important to the Bride and Groom. They were nice enough to extend the courtesy and let us go till 4:30. My small system (what I used) consists of 2 Mackie srm-450's on stands. The stands are covered w white scrims to make it look nicer. 1 15" Mackie sub under table, mixtrack pro controller, 2 audio technica and also have 2 shure wireless mics. My small system sounds great room was pumping as they requested it to be, and looks very nice and neat.

I make sure photographer is ready and set before I do anything so they can get the best shots and don't miss anything and coordination w facility had to be good since I got them the extra 30 minutes. Is there room for improvement absolutely. As a result of it taking me more than 3 hours to go 75ish minutes away If there is more than 60 minutes of travel time I will figure in the cost of motel accommodations to be there the day before. This has caused me to change my policy when travel is involved, this was a 1st and will be the last time I ever address this. The 1 thing that drives me nuts is rushing at the show. I brought a 2nd DJ w me to free me on the floor for a low balance event at no extra charge just to insure client gets more then they ask for. That's the extent I go to for my clients.
