Ok, ok, we can take a joke. I thought it was kinda funny!
Seriously, there are many kinds & types of DJ's as there are bands. Darlene & I prefer to be labeled as mobile entertainers because 'DJ'ing' is only part of what we do. We emcee as well as teach dance.
Oh, and we don't take breaks!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
As far as pay goes, our minimum performance rate is $600 for 4 hours. Most of our gigs (wedding receptions) are in the $1000 range.
Did I mention our nightclub opening soon?
I almost forgot. Using our excess equipment (and adding a bit more), we are entering the local sound system rental business. ROI. Ya gotta it!
Great forum, by the way.
Thanks.
