I'm taking the oppertunity to rant.. and hopefuly find that im not the only one that thinks this is a bit wierd.

our original wedding date was 13 may 2012 but after a few chats we both decided we didnt want to wait as long as brought the date forward to August next year, we checked with the DJ and photographer if they could still both attend the new dates.. and to our delight.. they could. Now the photographer has aslready sent the new contract out with the new date on and we've sent it back. But the DJ, well different story.

I'm stressing over it massively. When I rung him in the first place I left a message to call back to confirm or deny... 2 days later I hadn't heard anything so I rung him again to get 'ohh yeh sorry I was going to ring you...' He said we wouldnt need a new contract but would email me the confirmation so that I could have it in writing that all was ok. I text him my email straight away.... nothing.

I left it a week (so I didnt seem nagging lol) but still nothing so after a week and a half I text him sayin that I still hadnt recieved anything and here was my adress again incase he didnt have it anymore to which I got the reply 'Hi Kate sorry I havent sent it yet, will send this weekend'

That was 2 weeks ago and I still dont have anything. now am doubting him. He seemed so brilliant when we first got in contact with him, I cant understand why he is so lapse about it or am I just being a crazy Paranoid over-the-top organiser!!

I agree with Leesy if he wants the work then he should do as he says when he says he is going to do it. xxx

I would be raging too. I think i would be so frustrated about lack of response that i would find out where he lived and be round there, lol. Have you paid him any money yet? If not i would be leaving a rather abrupt message about finding someone else who would like the job! Maybe he has had some bad news in his family, but sadly when you run a business you still have to keep your customers informed of goings on. :) x

I'm with Becca - we're slap bang in the middle of wedding season so it may be difficult for him to find the time to respond and because your wedding isn't until next year you won't be a 'top priority' for him, he's got weddings to do this weekend (I would imagine) and next weekend and the weekend after that - see what I'm saying. Of course your business is important to him but he has more immediate clients to be concerned with.

I would simply ring him and say something like
"I know you must be really busy at the moment but we do need you to confirm in writing within the next week or so" and make up something to do with it holding up your venue or your wedding insurance is nattering you about it, be 'flexible with the truth' to hammer home that he does need to sort it out.

Having said that, if you're having doubts about his lack of commitment then I'd start researching other DJs in your area. Ours is a family friend but does run a reputable company, I contacted him over a month ago with change of venue and I've heard nothing back from him, but he knows better than to mess with me ;)
Hope you get it sorted
