DJ Dave Rudd

What can you expect when hiring DJ Dave Rudd?

Quiet Elegance - If you are looking for a DJ that will "steal the show" or grab people out of their chairs and make them dance - I'm not the one for you. I consider my style as low-key to mid-range. I'd rather be behind the scenes making your event run smoothly - I call it "Quiet Elegance". You are the star of the day - not me!

High moral and business ethics - I hold myself to the highest moral and ethical standards possible. I don't drink or smoke, or take breaks. If I do eat, it's during your dinner hour and the music will not stop - ever. My contract with you will be clear, concise and spell everything out upfront.

Superb Customer Service - Customer service has been my life for over 30 years. I will meet and exceed your expectations!

Appropriate Dress - A tuxedo is the norm for wedding receptions unless you ask me to wear a suit. For other events, I will wear a nice sportcoat and tie or nice shirt. No jeans, T-shirts etc - I will not embarrase myself (or you) with inappropriate clothes.

Honest and Fair - The bottom line is that I will always be honest and fair with you. If I don't believe that I'm the right DJ for you or our event - I will tell you. I would rather refer you to another DJ then not being able to personally exceed your expectations!

Personalized Service

Every event is unique and I will work with you to personalize to your tastes. I don't believe in a cookie cutter approach for every event. Words like "it's always done that way" are not what you will hear from me. I believe in working with you to create the foundation for an awesome event.

My Role

Meet with you as many times as necessary to provide personalized service for your event

Communicate in advance with all vendors to ensure a smooth flowing event

Work behind the scenes to identify any potential problems

Become familiar with your chosen event location. If I have not played at the venue, I will visit it prior to your event to ensure I'm familiar with the site and staff

Develop a detailed agenda or script for each event for your approval. There will be no surprises or inappropriate comments at your event.

Music Progamming

Music programming is selecting the right songs in the right sequence to create a mood. This includes:

• Providing an indepth knowledge of a wide range of music
• Knowing the proper use of audio mixing equipment
• Reading the crowd and adjusting the music accordingly

Digital Media System - I use a state of the art Digital Media System that allows me to locate a song in seconds so I can spend time reading and interacting with the crowd and not searching for music.

Music Selection - You have the option to select the music you would like to hear during your event from my on-line music database. You can even tell me the songs you don't want to hear too!

Radio Edited "Clean" Music - I only play the radio edited “clean” versions of today’s hit songs, so I guarantee that your event will be “family friendly”. I do not accept events that want anything other than these versions.

Presentation

Presentation includes ensuring the appropriate clothes are worn for you event i.e. tuxedo for formal events, suit and tie etc). This also includes presentation of my equipment which is always neat and organized. You will never see the back of my equipment as I use a professional table "topper" that keeps my area aesthetically pleasing.

Audio Amplification

Using the Bose Personal Amplification System, you will not see the large, bulky speakers which detract from your setting. Due to their unique design, guests who sit near the speakers will not get blasted with sound. In fact, many people can stand directly in front of the speakers and still carry on a normal conversation.

And finally...

Whether you are planning a wedding, wedding reception, birthday or anniversary party, picnic or corporate event, you deserve more than someone who just plays music. You can have the piece of mind that your event will be personalized to your taste.
