Earlier this year I saw a wedding fair advertised at a venue close to me so I popped in to have a chat.
I explained I was a DJ and did a deal whereby I didn't have to pay the exhibitors fee but instead I would play music at the event (low volume). I took my big rig and hung a good selection of lights, the only one I actually switched on was the Chameleon 3E (Gobo set to 'Wedding') and generally smiled at everyone who attended, gave out business cards and talked to as many other exhibitors as I could (looking fo referrals).
My scrolling message board was displaying the message 'Your guests will remember the entertainment. make sure it's for the right reasons'
To date I have had 18 bookings from that event, deffo well worth me doing that again (the wedding fair organisers said they had never had a DJ a fair before and would invite me back again on the same no fee but play music basis)
Anyone else tried that????
