In my efforts to stay competitive and up to date, I've often browsed the websites of other local Mobile DJ companies. Upon reading the FAQ page, I always find the question "Do you do this full time or are you a weekend warrior?".

The answer has always been something to the tune of "We are full time. You don't want to go with a part time dj. They don't have quality equipment or services. They're going to have a limited selection. They won't give you the attention you deserve. They might have to work their full time job and leave you high and dry." Believe it or not, this is what I've read!

Being a "part time" mobile dj company for the past several years, this used to bother me. Now that I have quit my day job and made AMT Entertainment an official "full time" mobile dj company, I realize some very important information that I wanted to share with inquiring brides.

The major difference between a "part-" and "full-" time mobile dj company is the price. Several factors affect why the price is higher, but it always is! It could be that one dj is trying to make his fortune with one system, but doesn't want to be booked EVERY weekend, so he starts to charge more. Or it could be that a larger company has to hire dj's to run the company's systems, so they not only have to maintain the company, but also have to pay the employees. Whatever the case, the price is always higher.

Another difference is the saturation of their schedule. This is not necessarily a negative thing. More experience means better quality.

But all in all, there's not much difference between full time and part time companies, other than the price. You have many full time companies that don't give the greatest service and many part time companies that pour their heart and soul into your event.

So where does that leave AMT Entertainment? We used to think we were a "small fish" with the heart of a "big fish". Now, I think it's the other way around. Being a husband and wife team, Ben still works his full time position. But I spend my days working on our business. We don't plan on raising our prices. We are confident and proud of what we charge. You still get the absolute best service possible.

Enjoy!
