How many of your Wedding Bookings are cancelled each Year?
A comment that Jim (Scotland's Party DJ) mentioned on another thread got me thinking.
He said that he had just had his first ever cancellation of a Wedding.
I have just had a quick look through my bookings over the last 8 years and the average is 3 weddings per year!
Now it may be because I do over 70 weddings per year.... but is this high?

From memory, I can't remember a wedding being cancelled. I guess I've just been lucky!

I knew a groom that died within hours of being married. They exchanged vows in hospital a few days a couple of days after his heart transplant failed. The bride was my brother's mother in law.

Very new to all this, but I did have a wedding booked. It was the only wedding I had on my list to do.
They cancelled last week due to not having enough funds to get married.

I think I've had 3 wedding cancellations since I started DJing. That's not bad going.

One point which hasn't been made I think. It's possible to have our bookings for the discos cancelled, but the wedding still go ahead. Either have no disco, the trusty ipod, possibly the venue has " persuaded " them to use the in house, or even forfeit the deposit and book a cheaper provider. Still goes down in our books as a cancellation, but the wedding still goes ahead.

I used to do a lot of weddings the first time around with this lark. Since coming back, yes I'm getting enquiries for them (i.e. via needadisco), but the budgets people are specifying at the moment don't seem to be much more than 15 years ago (£200 to £400 seems to be the average at the moment from what I'm seeing).
It may just be that I'm aiming at the lower end of the market at the moment, I really don't know. However, I think there's a valid point there that people maybe are going for cheaper alternatives at the moment.
