Top 5 Important Points – Corporate DJ – Orlando, FL

Ever have a DJ for your corporate event or company gathering that couldn’t get the party started? Or have you experienced a shy DJ that didn’t want to talk on the microphone to break the ice? It may not seem like a big thing, but when it comes down to it, this could make or break the awkwardness or tension in a room and lead to everyone having an epic time. Otherwise, this leads to a boring or stagnant gathering of employees who are only mingling with the select few people in their comfort zone. They could be missing out on the full potential of networking with everybody that works within the company across multiple offices. Team building exercises and icebreakers are when the fun happens!  

Being a Corporate DJ in Orlando, Florida, you have to wear many hats. You have to fix your gear when it breaks down. You have to up on the latest software to make sure your system doesn’t crash. You have to be up on the latest entertainment trends because technology has made it so easy to access new ideas. On top of all that, when the DJ shows up at an event, you have to be aware that anything could happen within the performance time. Being able to pivot and think fast on your feet is not only a requirement; it’s a way of life. We prepare as much as we can in advance, and sometimes we aren’t given all the proper information before the doors open. The entertainment industry is fast-paced and, most times, unforgiving. “Never let them see you sweat,” is my motto. To be successful in this business, your calibration skills have to be at a heightened sense, and being able to gauge the temperature in a room is a way of life. When it comes to having multiple personalities involved with an event, managing that becomes like second nature. Delivering the performance on any scale the client wants is why we have stayed in business for so long.

‘Whether you want music for an awards ceremony, electro lounge for a cocktail hour or 70’s funk and disco for a 5-hour dance party. We smile and say, “I’ve got you covered.” I couldn’t begin to tell you how many corporate parties we dj’d and had no clue what kind of night the client was looking for moments before guests walked into the room. I honestly never really worried about it either. When it comes to being professional in show business, we gauge the crowd, listen to the main contact’s advice, and go there. The talent at King Entertainment Events has so many tricks up our sleeves that we can deliver what the client wants vertically at every time.

Here are the top 5 things to look for when booking your next Corporate DJ in Orlando, FL.  

1. Do they have an outgoing personality? If someone is timid in the interview or over the phone, you can bet they won’t be outgoing on the microphone and be able to command an audience to have a good time and to take charge when the time is needed. On the flip side of that, it’s important to know when to take charge and step back. It’s all about gauging the client and finding out how they want the event to go.  
2. How many years of experience do they have? There are so many different things that can go on at any given event that some actions need to be on autopilot. It just becomes second nature to have a playlist running while talking to the CEO about introducing him for his welcome speech for the general session. The show doesn’t stop because someone important needs to talk to the DJ about their cue to be introduced on stage. This also goes with knowing what to be prepared for. As I said, so many things could happen, and an experienced professional would know what those things are.
3. Do they have professional gear? There have been too many times that I have heard stories from DJs that failed just because they didn’t have professional gear. It’s plain and simple. If you want to get the professional show, then you have to have the professional gear to go with it. I know it costs more, and that’s just the cost of doing business.  
4. Do they have backups? Anything could happen at an event. I have had speakers blow for no reason. I have plugged into bad power and fried equipment. It hurts when that happens, but the show must go on. The King Entertainment Events team is required to have backups of basically everything. If something breaks down for whatever reason, the show must go on. We go to the van and get the replacement as fast as possible and pick right back up where we left off.  
5. Are they punctual? That may sound a little off, but I have known many artist types that aren’t super organized or on the ball in my experience. It could come down to missing one cord, which could lead to the show not even being able to happen. It is super important that the DJ you hire is punctual and ready to deliver the show you want at the drop of a hat. Also, being set up before showtime is super important as well. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shown up to an event, and the manager comes on the intercom and says guests are ready for doors to open 30mins or even an hour earlier than planned.

Corporate events come in many different styles. Whether it be a big-budget international gathering or a smaller local business, sometimes these events are for a huge celebration; other times, they are company events that plan to reveal a new product line. We here at King Entertainment Events have been helping companies have successful events for over 15 years. We work closely with Walt Disney World, and that keeps us on our toes for the amount of volume they do and is located close to the Orange County Convention Center, we can honestly say we’ve seen it all. We love how many businesses trust us annually to provide for their teams’ fun and continue to book King Entertainment Events over the years.
