The weather is breaking. Spring has already arrived at least according to the calendar and even here in beautiful Central New York there's a feeling in the air that is unmistakable. Wedding season has arrived for 2008!I love this time of year as I begin to work with my clients to fine tune their visions for the perfect reception. As the wedding dates draw near the details begin to fall into place. I can also tell that it wedding season because everyone is updating their free online planning tools several times a day! It's always fun to see what songs are going to be popular this year and to hear about all the new ideas.
I have booked 95% of my available Saturdays for 2008 and have a nice healthy helping of Friday and Sunday weddings as well. There are some dates still open and there was a cancellation so check your date if you're not already a client.
One of the things I noticed was that the bookings for 2009 seem to have spiked in the last month. Inquiries have also increased. It appears that as of now the most popular wedding date for 2009 will be 8/08/09 (72 inquiries to date!) I suggest that if you are planning a 2009 wedding you get the ball rolling with your catering hall NOW! If DJ's are already seeing a ton of inquiries that means caterers have booked dates. Generally speaking we are farther down the "food-chain" than the catering hall which is one of the primary decisions and one of the first things booked.
This is going to be a GREAT year. There's a lot of great new music to appeal to guests of all ages and there are some killer new pieces of DJ gear that I will be adding to the equipment list this year including a new Pioneer CD/PC Controller, new speakers, some great new efficient LED lighting effects, and maybe even in-house video montage FOR EVERY RECEPTION BOOKED included FREE!!!???? How's that sound?
Yep 2008 is going to be a great year. Lets talk about it. I will begin regular Tuesday & Thursday LIVE interactive Q&A sessions at 9pm EDT right here on the blog and on the website at www.jhatchdj.com
