Charleston Wedding DJ: No Two DJs Are Alike In The Holy City
Hello! Mike Bills here, owner and operator of Mike Bills Entertainment, one of Charleston's top wedding DJs. I'm smiling ear to ear now because we've turned a corner on the seasons and it's now SPRING in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Even though it's still a little cool, it won't be too long before we have those awesome spring days in Charleston with incredible sunsets and breezes all around the area. Choosing the wedding entertainment for your Charleston wedding is one of the many decisions you'll make as you plan your wedding, but one of the most important. Whether you choose a band or a professional wedding DJ like myself, the music has got to be perfect and a soundtrack must be created that will have you, your family, and guests talking for 500 years or more. For brides and grooms planning their wedding in Charleston: I have a few questions for you:
A. Do You Want To Have "Just" Music? OR
B. Do You Want To Have A "Extraordinary Musical Experience"?
Simply put, Mike Bills Entertainment is NOT your typical or "ordinary" DJ service. Truth be told, if you look at my reviews, they say my company is rather "extraordinary" when it comes to providing professional wedding DJ services. But seriously, brides and grooms, those are two questions that you need to be pondering and you need to ponder them lots. You need to ponder those two questions more than what you'd like the color of the flowers of your bouquet should be, or the flavor of your wedding cake. The way you answer those questions is going to mean the difference between a very average Charleston wedding reception, and an extraordinary Charleston wedding reception.
My company has forged an impeccable reputation over the years for doing ONE thing and doing it excellent. That being, making sure the musical soundtrack for all my brides and grooms is all about them without the cheesy gimmicks and silly games. It's really not rocket science, it's just the only way I've seen to operate my company over the years.
- Professional Wedding DJs are going to always employ "professional" grade equipment.
- Professional Wedding DJs are VERY willing to meet all brides and grooms well in advance of their wedding day to discuss the music for their very important day.
- Professional Wedding DJs are "mature" and won't take over your event. The spotlight should always be on the bride and groom. ALWAYS!
- Professional Wedding DJs play the music that the bride and groom want to hear, not their own personal collection.
- Professional Wedding DJs are set up on time with backup equipment in the event of any technical issue.
- Professional Wedding DJs do not double or triple book your wedding date, and then send another wedding DJ to your wedding. When we meet, I'll tell you a story of how I was brought into one of those situations by a competitor. Long story short, the bride and groom ended up losing in the long run.
- Professional Wedding DJs will have liability insurance in the event of any accidents.
- Professional Wedding DJs will not invite prospective clients or friends to your wedding to watch their performance. Your wedding day is not a sales pitch for future clients
Those are just a FEW of the reminders about how true professional wedding DJs conduct themselves in Charleston. When you click over to my website. https://www.djmikebills.com , you'll see on the homepage, about midway down, a link to one of my blog posts about why you should hire me to DJ your Charleston wedding. You'll read in that post that I don't offer any upgrades. There are numerous reasons why this is the case, but the Number 1 reason is I am a DJ first. It all goes back to doing one thing and wanting to do it perfectly. The true professional wedding DJs are going to put in many hours of preparation before your wedding; gathering music, making playlists, testing equipment, planning site visits, responding to emails, talking to planners, and so much more.
Offering upgrades would take away from my focus of what my true passion really is, and that is playing music, and gathering all of your favorite music together into one massive playlist and creating the perfect soundtrack . While I don't offer any upgrades, I have formed relationships with some of the best wedding planners in Charleston, and are always very interested in forging more relationships, as well as with other select wedding vendors.
