How to Avoid DJ Horror Stories: The Standard Reference Guide for Brides, Party Planners, and Anyone Else in the Market for a Mobile Disc Jockey

I love this book! As a DJ with 15 years in the business, the author has said what everyone else was afraid to say. This is the all-out truth about DJ myths and marketing. Highly recommend this book.

In such a vast field as DJ services, it nice to be able to find the true gems among the pack. This book was instrumental in helping me select a DJ for my wedding, and I was EXTREMELY pleased with the results. If you want to know how to identify a "line" when you hear one from a DJ, GET THIS BOOK!

I've been a Disc Jockey for 25 years and have seen it all - this is hilarious - be careful who you book though. Read this and you should get a good Disc Jockey and have a great wedding/party!

Recently married, I perused applicable info through your usual 'net surfing search. When I stumbled upon author Jeff Harrison's book, it seemed quite humourous and informative--something a frantic, weary working woman bride-to-be really needs. Intrigued, I purchased it and was delighted. It's concise, well-written, succinct (to the point), informative, and most important of all: allows the reader to laugh while soaking up timely, excellent advice. I not only followed all his suggestions, I changed the entire way I thought of music/weddings from reading his book. When the big day arrived, I had done my homework and found how much fun it was to have a smart, savvy, professional, and responsive DJ. She (yes, a female DJ) did not "rob" me, she had a professional contract, a terrific playlist, she actually visited our wedding site beforehand (a tip from Mr. Harrison's book) and she combined playlists to please us. She was very flexible during the music-playing, and receptive to requests (something I had learned to ask for from the book). Mr. Harrison also made it a lively, quick and easy read. I not only finished it in an hour or so, I loaned it out to all my prospective-bride friends, who love it too. My brother has used some of the tips for his fraternity party planning, too. In sum, I would DEFINITELY recommend this book because: * it's a quick, easy read * Mr. Harrison provides insight into the "DJ concept" by using humour and cute illustrations. This was very informative (for example, how to tell the difference between DJ's who play live music and DJ's who use pre-recorded tapes). * He debunked some myths (independent contractors vs. employees!) * His DJ Choice Chart was SO helpful, I pre-selected all of my music and avoided the pitfall of hiring a "cheesy" DJ * Lastly, I would most infatically highly recommend this book to anyone who's planning a wedding or party.

My wife and I used this book to identify our wedding reception DJ. Questions like: "who is your back-up if you become sick" were things we never thought of, but were all included in this great guide. Highly recommended.
