DJ Dabacle

335 days to go

It all sounded so easy. Q and I needed a DJ and Q knew one. He seemed great. He had been DJing at local bars and clubs, and was willing to meet with us to go over details. All seemed well in the land of wedding planning. We went to a bar he was playing, listened to his mixing and all n' all liked what we heard. A few weeks passed and we finally found a good time to meet up and go over in more detail what he was offering to do for us. Sounds easy right? Our meeting went great; we told him what we were looking for and he quoted us a price and what he could do...sounds easy right? a few days passed and I messaged him. "We would love for you to be our DJ, please let us now if you are available"... No response. "Can you please quote the price in writing?" I messaged again...no response. I, being the tenacious little firecracker I am decided to call him. "Were you still interested in DJing our wedding?" Yes he said. "Great, please respond to my Facebook message and that can be our informal contract"...sounds simple right?...no response. Days passed, I call again....Voice mail. That was 7 days ago. Sufficed to say I am shopping around for a new DJ.

I don't understand. Am I being out of line for expecting at least a call back? Three questions pop into my head.

a) if you didn't want the work, why quote a price?

b) if you want the work why would you ignore your client?

c) Who does that?

So it's back to the drawing board when it comes to DJ. DJ means a lot to us, we want to dance and have a really good time. It's not like cool urban DJs run rampant in Ottawa. It's not the most kick'n city you know. So Here I am setting up meetings again. Simple right?

On the bright side, at least no contract was signed.
