suing a wedding dj…on what grounds?!?
Question by mog: suing a wedding dj…on what grounds?!?
Well established wedding dj been in the buisiness over 20 years. We are the top of the line dj we dress to the 9’s we also take photos and put a free gallery online. One month before each wedding we meet up with the bride& groom to be & go through the whole wedding from start to finish which includes songs bridal waltz wedding bouquet games speeches..everything. Now one couple is saying they are unhappy with the performance from 10pm till midnight (they are happy with everything else) they say that from this time knowone danced.. They knew what music we would be playing (which usually kicks off..as weve been in the buisiness so long we know what works & what doesn’t) is it our fault if that particular crowd didn’t dance?as I said the 2hr interview 1 month before covers this… Followed by signed contract. Any advice?

I used to DJ. I remember I had a who had some youth event at a church meet with me, mainly about song choice, and then later was unhappy.
I remember playing two songs I was unsure if they would like so I asked someone in their group if I could as people were requesting them and they told me ok. So I did.
I didnt refund anything and never heard any more about it. Of course they didnt hire me again but even if I had refunded some money they wouldnt have hired me again. Its just one of those situations.
I guess it comes down to do you feel you possibly did anything wrong? from you description I think you covered things very well.
If it were me I would just tell them im sorry it didnt go how you wish it would have , but that you performed what you were hired to do as you discussed you would. And leave it at that.
They could take you to small claims court, and of course if its as you described they would most likely lose.
I did some weddings too and I know how people get their imagination going about weddings and how they ‘envision’ things to happen. But that isnt always how it turns out. And that isnt always someones fault.
