A Sydney rugby league club was throwing a pre-game event for its players, members and sponsors. The right music was a key factor and needed to inspire players before the game. Budget wasn't so much an issue, but getting the right feel at the event was. The club called on Corporate DJ Services in Sydney, who provided them with some musical ideas for the event, and an appropriate DJ.
An event DJ can find you the right music
Corporate DJ Services' consultation with the club involved sending a list of their music library, which comprises well over 10,000 songs.
"They were then able to select the songs they wanted to hear on the night," explains event DJ, Mark Stanton, co-director of Corporate DJ Services.
The club chose traditional Aussie rock for the event, and an event DJ specialising in that style of music was provided, who also had a big personality to get the crowd excited.
Hiring an event DJ can streamline the organisational processes
At an event of this magnitude, it would have been easy for a DJ hire company to bowl in, do their job and leave a mess behind - for both themselves and the venue owners. Corporate DJ Services were keen to avoid this scenario.
"Our event DJ allowed plenty of time to set up the equipment and to personally engage with the client," says Mark. "We also provided tagged power cables and leads and cable trays.
"As far as packing up, I picked up the gear personally as soon as possible - if it had stayed there it would have disrupted that party or another party."
Safety guarantees
At any corporate event safety is paramount and Corporate DJ Services were able to provide an assurance to the rugby club that safety standards would be met.
"Safety is a big thing," says Mark. "We pay workers comp and there are other things we have to pay for, and obviously it's in our best interests that an event DJ or a customer doesn't get injured."
