The Party DJ June Newsletter

June Newsletter

Where do the months go … it’s time for The Party DJ June Newsletter already!
Keep an eye out for the links to other articles and video in this post – they should come up in bold pink.

The year so far has been challenging on a personal level, but we’re getting there!

As I type this tomorrow is my first wedding of the month. The couple booked me after attending my WOW Evening at Ampfield back in February last year, so 16 months in advance. The crazy thing is another couple who came to the same evening also wanted to book, fortunately my colleague Gary was available. Because I no longer do weddings on consecutive days I’m having to turn away more and more enquiries which is frustrating from a business point of view but I know it means the best possible service for my couples. More about this can be found in MY PROMISE (click here).

Saturday’s wedding is a venue I haven’t done for a long time and I’m really looking forward to playing there again. I hope to post about it here and on my Facebook page, so keep an eye out.

The following weekend I have a Sunday wedding so won’t be at the Rhinefield Wedding Fair which is one of the events I usually exhibit at. My booklets will be in the bags and I’m actually meeting a couple on the Saturday who I met at the last fair there.

The couple who have booked me for their wedding that Sunday found me via an on-line review for the venue on Trip Advisor where the bride mentioned the services I provided at her wedding there. That wedding is also featured in my Real Weddings book which you can see HERE Again, I hope to post about this wedding soon.

Towards the end of the month I have a 50th Birthday party for a lovely lady who’s son’s wedding I did at Wick Barn near Bath in February 2013 (Click here for my blog post and a video of Kyrah and James’ wedding). I’m really looking forward to seeing the couple and their families again.

Most of my time at the moment is taken up with meetings, building playlists, editing music for Ceremonies and Grand Entrances, and writing Love Stories (click on the highlighted words for more information). However Ce and I do have tickets for a few nights out this month and hope to rap a few days beside the sea if Summer sorts itself out.

So here we are in my June newsletter and once again I’ve not managed to get everything done I had hoped to, I have a list of videos ready to create (many with the content already planned), as I said at the beginning this year has been challenging, but we’re getting there!

Until next time, thanks for reading my June newsletter, mug of tea raised … cheers!

Just a very quick post about yesterday’s wedding at the lovely Wick Barn

First I must thank my friend, and Party Hosts colleague, Gary Evans for his help throughout the day. I’ve had some vehicle issues and Gary very kindly offered to act as driver, roadie, support team and photographer – what a legend.

This was my first time performing at Wick Barn. I visited with the clients last year and was really looking forward to playing there – I wasn’t disappointed. The Barn is a lovely setting and under the expert supervision of Hannah from Strawberry Field Catering the day went really well. For more information about Wick Barn CLICK HERE.
