Best Meeting Ever

I don’t normally add comments like this but I couldn’t resist. A few minutes ago I just had one of the best meetings ever. What made this meeting special was the fact that it was with a couple that I DJ’d their wedding exactly 10 years ago. They contacted me because they are now throwing a big 40th birthday party (and maybe a renewal of vows quick/fun ceremony – an idea we came up with in the meeting) We got talking and I mentioned that I sometimes find it difficult to find a “greater purpose or meaning” in what I do as a DJ. They responded in a way that I always hope for with each couple… I had made such an impact on their wedding that guests still bring it up today. I was able to start their lives off together as a married couple with great fun memories and we created a vision or signature for them to look back on during difficult times. Sort of like a foundation for them to start building on as a couple. There is hope for the DJ.

This month’s N.A.C.E. (National Association of Catering Executives) meeting was held at the San Diego Zoo. The theme was team building and community service within the wedding industry. We divided up into teams and built bikes for kids in need. The kids showed up later on in the evening and we had the chance to personally give the bike to them. Pretty cool experience. It was also a great time to catch up with friends and also meet some new vendors in the wedding world.

I try to make it out to Las Vegas every year for the National DJ Convention. This year the dates were from 2/11/08 until 2/14/08. I was able to attend seminars all week long that were focused on business, performance, improving quality and customer satisfaction, etc. Also a great time to get out to Vegas and have a good time with other DJ’s.
