Celebrations are a time that their participants want to spend making cherished memories. A lot of planning goes into those events, because we want them to go off without a hitch so the magic can do its job and memories can abound. The hope of every wedding planner and bride, every sweet-16 birthday girl and her parents, every new mother and her supportive friends, and anyone else with a milestone to celebrate, is that the event they’re planning will go smoothly with no hiccups, so the focus can remain on the bride, the birthday girl, the new mother and the like.
However, no matter how carefully we plan, and no matter how much effort we put into the big day, there are no guarantees that obstacles won’t abound. Therefore, the importance of foreseeing those obstacles can drastically reduce the risk of things getting in the way of the big day.
A whole world of professionals, available at our fingertips, will help to stage, coordinate and execute big events, providing proper support, provision and experience to help accomplish a perfect party. In line with that vision is a Murfreesboro gentleman who offers 15 years of experience helping people celebrate the special moments of their lives. Neil Smith, better known as the Dandy DJ, provides family-friendly DJ services for a wide array of events in the community, working alongside his wife, who provides a fun and versatile photo booth service which adds an additional layer of fun while providing memorable keepsakes to memorialize the event.
Dandy DJ is the kind of guy who exudes tangible joy. It’s obvious that he’s excited about life and the role he plays in it. He enjoys his work, and it shows. In addition to the excitement he brings to the table, he also brings a lot of heart and soul. He carefully considers each client that approaches him about an event, making sure that his services will be a good fit. If he finds that he is unable to provide the kind of ambiance that a client is looking for, he will refer them to other professionals that he trusts, hoping to ensure the very best match between client and professional.
Dandy makes no excuses for his firm, family-friendly policy. He wants to be clear that he is interested in providing a good time for everyone, but he also wants to provide a wholesome experience. He’s not opposed to drinking or dancing, but he does screen lyrics of all requested songs carefully, wanting to provide the type of entertainment that can be enjoyed by all guests, regardless of age. He is a very flexible and easily engaged professional who simultaneously allows his conscience to serve him and mitigate unnecessary risk.
Preparedness is definitely a high priority for Dandy. He has upgraded all of his sound equipment to enable three hours of continued sound in the event of a power failure. He is conscious of and informed about the assorted obstacles that can come into play during an event, such as the electrical options available, the considerations for safety of the equipment itself, and the wires and cables that must be run. He is also sensitive to the client’s needs when it comes to their other obligations. Dandy makes it clear that he realizes the need for a speedy breakdown when the venue has a time limit or rentals must be returned. His first and last thoughts, and all the ones in between, are centered around giving the client the best experience they can possibly have.
Preparation time for the event is carefully spent custom-tailoring the experience to fit clients’ wishes and needs, he says. Slide shows and images, lighting, music and photo opportunities are fine-tuned for weeks before an event, making sure that the magic of the moment carries the right tone for what the client has in mind, making those memories easy to capture and enjoyable for years to come.
In addition to his website, which offers videos and a more personal window into the kind of experience that you can expect, Dandy has also authored several books which lend weight to his credibility and display his level of expertise in a very organized way.
The Dandy DJ packs his books—Ditch Your DJ, and All Your Other Wedding Vendors Too!, The Barn Wedding Book: How to Hold Your Hootenanny Without a Hitch, Pick a Perfect Wedding DJ and The Wedding DJ Bible—which contain useful event planning and DJ tips designed to be helpful to the reader whether or not they purchase the author’s services.
The videos and the books only serve to reinforce the impression that the Dandy DJ presents in person—that is, that his character and his ethics are a perfect fit for his profession. There’s no way this guy will aim to host anything less than the consummate celebration.
Dandy provides DJ and photo booth services for events such as weddings, corporate functions, church events, and family events. For more information on the Dandy DJ and his books, visit dandydj.com.
