What's the majority of your work?

[Tom]

As the title says, what is the majority of your work? I got a feeling it's going to be weddings as they're regarded as better paid jobs so Ovcourse it makes sense to go for that market, but is there anything else people go for? I have a plan in my mind in what I want to do and market to aim for but interested to see if much has changed in the last 5 years when I sold up.

Yes Correct.
Wedding and then Dance Floors

Weddings are a big chunk but I have been trying to attract a more varied workload by launching an "Oldies only" site in the past year. I have had some success with this so I don't do so many back to back weddings now. I've also been accumulating some opti effects with a view to providing "groovy" lighting as an additional / dry hire service.

Pretty much a mixed bag this end (Imagine is the disco for ALL occasions after all ;) ).

Lots of weddings lined up for later this year (double figures in fact), but also a lot of 30th's and 40th's a well...a lot more than last year.
I also do a heck of a lot of kids parties (mainly the under 10's, although some teen ones as well).

I've even got a couple of Golden weddings in the bag for this year.

Are dance floors still a big thing?

Funny you mention that as the idea I had to was to concentrate on certain age groups/genres, mainly starting with the teens, then working my way up through the age groups/genres of music. Something a little different but still add in weddings.

Glad you got plenty of work in. :).

School discos was easy, but kids partys I used to struggle with in trying to keep them entertained. :/

Getting married myself this year and to be honest, the DJ was the first thing we booked lol

Well i seem to do well with Dancefloors as they are out most weeks

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Weddings, anything else almost feels kinda odd as the first dance kicks things off usually so without that it's like....oh crap how do I do this again :D

Plus weddings are booked up in advance so anything less than 6 months or less between enquiry and wedding is "last minute" yet for a birthday anything more than a month is being "super organised"

[funkymook]

Weddings, birthdays/anniversaries, pubs/band support in that order.
