Boston Wedding DJ And RI Wedding DJ Ra-Mu Says No Wedding DJ is Worth Paying $2000 or More
by Ramu on Sep.02, 2009, under Weddings
| DJ Ra-Mu of Ra-Mu and the Crew tells New England brides to shop wisely for wedding entertainment and save some money for the honeymoon. Price and talent don’t always equate. The current economic recession has brought the price of electronics, gas, and home values to a stunning low. ”It has always bewildered me that when a bride whispers the word wedding, the price usually quadruples” says Ra-Mu. ”People are getting laid off left and right, foreclosures are way up, but some guy in a tux on a Saturday night playing itunes from his computer has a fee that would make most hedge fund managers jealous” chuckles Ra-Mu. In a era that sees the wedding industry in turmoil, many dj’s/entertainers are rationalizing that they are worth the big bucks. Armed with a laptop and a pair of average speakers, many of these dj’s/entertainers stand behind their price with cliche sales buzz phrases such as “you get what you pay for” or “our company caters to high end clients” or “I cant believe people are falling for this”.
As a 15 year veteran of the entertainment industry(hard to believe that I’ve been doing this since 1994), I have seen many brides fall for the trap in which they believe more expensive translates to somehow better. The aftermath is that many DJ’s have laughed all the way to the bank leaving much to be desired at the reception. Generally, most couples are so busy with the honeymoon and getting back to regular life, that a mediocre job by the DJ is often tolerated. Perhaps this exorbitant fee that some DJ’s charge is explained better by what I hear in hush conversations throughout the industry: “I’m never going to see the couple again so why not charge them as much as possible” said one well known DJ. “If they can afford to have their wedding at that venue, they can afford to pay me the big bucks to be away from my family for another weekend evening” said another well known DJ. “The cake costs $1800 so why should I be any less?” said another one of the industry’s finest. With comments like the one’s above, one wonders how much passion and committment their is to the success of each of their client’s weddings. It seems that some DJ’s are so price driven that they forget about doing a good job and going above and beyond the call of duty. “Monetary compensation is one of the last things that I like to discuss” says DJ Ra-Mu. ”Making the customer at ease and packing the dance floor come 1st. Getting paid for what I love to do is just a bonus”. If you are looking for professional high-end entertainment without the astronomical cost or pretense, call Ra-Mu and the Crew today and we look forward to seeing you at your upcoming wedding reception.

Boston Wedding DJ And RI Wedding DJ Ra-Mu To Raise The Bar For All Wedding Disc Jockeys/Entertainers
by Ramu on Aug.17, 2009, under Weddings
DJ Ra-Mu of Ra-Mu and the Crew ushers in a new era of passion, fun, and polish in a wedding entertainment industry that has glorfied overpriced simplicity and undelivered promises. The wedding entertainment industry has a new face of succes.
Many 2010 and 2011 brides are currently searching for entertainment options for their upcoming wedding receptions and when they call Ra-Mu and the Crew, they are greeted on the phone by someone who refuses to be pretentious and has a vested interest in the overall success of the event. To many wedding disc jockeys, the next call or email from a bride is just a path to their next paycheck. For DJ Ra-Mu, it is a journey leading up to the bride’s smile(and everyone else in the room) at the end of the reception.
“All brides should be doing these three things” says Ra-Mu. “If they don’t do these three things, they may be on a collision course for a wedding reception disaster. First, all brides should meet with their potential dj/entertainer in person. For out of state brides, perhaps meet with prospective dj’s when you’re in town looking at venues or other vendors. If you don’t meet with your dj, you will run the risk of “bait and switch” on your special day and you won’t get to to build a rapport with your dj(the right fit between client and entertainer is a big key to the succes of the reception). Second, brides should either see a video of the dj(preferably at multiple weddings) or get permission to see a live performance. The latter may be tough because weddings should not be places for auditions for future business, but anyone that plans on being a dj for more than 6 months should have video footage to show a client. Taking the dj’s word that he/she is good or a “slick” website may not keep your guests at your reception all night. Lastly, make sure that the dj is bringing more than just a laptop and a pair of cheap speakers. ”I can’t tell you how many dj’s I know who charge top dollar and bring the bare minimum. In my opinion, $1500-$2000 is alot of money for someone to run Itunes all night” says Ra-Mu. Make sure that you know exactly what the dj is bringing and ask the appropriate questions. Are they providing a ceremony system, cocktail hour system, cordless mic, subwoofer, lighting, etc. ?
Studies have shown that the modern bride’s number goal for her and her guests is to have fun. Elegance and professionalism should be a given considering that it is a wedding; but after the toasts have been given, 1st dances are done, and the meal has concluded, will people stay and dance? Will people be talking about your reception for years to come or will your wedding reception just be a prelude to “last call” at the local bar in the area?
Ra-Mu and the Crew and DJ Ra-Mu are committed to making sure that people stay at your event. “Crowd retention is key” says Ra-Mu. ”If you have 200 guests and only 9 are left at the end of the night, the dj did not do his job correctly. We are hired at a decent rate to ensure that people do stay, are entertained, and that the bride and groom are happy”.
