Ever had a planner ghost right when the dance floor opens? We’ve all been there. In this episode, Brian B and Joe Bunn unpack the night-and-day difference between vendors who simply “show up” and planners who actually partner with DJs to create seamless, unforgettable events.
Brian shares three back-to-back gigs that illustrate how strong communication changes outcomes:
- A Disney-themed ceremony-to-dinner sequence that demanded a mid-set rescue to reignite the room.
- A 290-guest after-party where sharper sequencing was the fix after a band’s dated closing numbers.
- A 30-guest outdoor dinner where five dinner courses became five distinct genres, each keeping the mood fresh and intentional.
Brian spotlights planners who do it right: vendor-specific timelines, shared drives, and quick pre-event check-ins that prevent “he said, she said” chaos later. The takeaway? Collaboration isn’t just nice, it’s a professional advantage.
From there, they pivot into practical business strategy:
- How to structure your team for consistency during multi-event weekends.
- What to do when photographers and videographers leave early.
- A quick gear pick and a Patreon update with new coaching tools, weekly Top 10 bangers, and early-access drops.
Whether you’re a working DJ, planner, or creative pro in the private event DJ industry, this episode is your blueprint for smoother collaboration and better nights on every level.
