Need something subtle for Wedding fayre, ideas ? UPDATED

[Spirits High]

Hi All,

Got a wedding fayre coming up in October at one I do every year spring & Autumn. This Autumn they've decided to do something a bit different with the "House" being set for a ceremony & Evening reception and then all the suppliers in the marquee.

I've been asked to set up the disco rig for the "Evening Reception" room and then will have a stand in the marquee. I'm after a way of getting clients to come to my stand in the marquee and not the other 2 Dj's that will be there by way of some sort of signage.

I'm thinking roller banner may be a bit too intrusive as the room won't have any other exhibitors in per se and maybe an "A" board will do the job?

All ideas appreciated

X Factor voice over with your name???

I think other than having a nicer set up (maybe stick some mood lights around your area?) there's not a whole lot you'll be able to do - most people who are looking for a DJ would go to all 3 I'd imagine, the trick is to make yourself stand out from them, not draw people to you. If you've got any particularly "flashy" (as in WOW that's cool, not LET'S HAVE A RAVE!!!!!) lights or fixtures I'd put one of them on show.

Maybe have a playlist going too and a laptop or TV screen with photos of previous weddings?

tbh a wedding fayre with 3 DJs at a hotel (which I'm assuming is going to be fairly small) sound a bit cack imo.

Thanks Jim for that but not sure if I didn't make it clear so I'll have another try

The sinage I want is for the set up in the Hall so that anyone looking around the Hall knows that the set up in there belongs to me!

A cardboard cutout of yourself stood behind your rig?

I've seen these are available online from a Hi-Res photograph.

Yes, very subtle!

Or I could always get my mate Yoda to help out

Custom gobo??

Custom gobo??

I was thinking that - another idea could be to use a projector to show your company Logo on the dance floor, alternating with a rotating "Congratulations" message, or to put a screen up on your truss showing a slideshow with wedding photos (with your company name/logo in the corner) alternating with slides with details about your company and the services you can offer. Demo's what you can do and gets your name out there as well in a subtle way - and it's potentially showcasing a service your competitors might not have thought of.

Good idea. Although it is very light in the Orangery so wouldn't show up too well.

Truss?? Have you seen my set up

May be an idea as I will have another slideshow running on the stand in the marquee....Hmmmm, something to ponder.

Just in case you decide to go with the cutout idea, I thought it would be helpful to supply a link to a site that can produce from your own photo...
