Why Choose J.
S. Productions

The
advantage of Joe Saraceno Productions is that I am a small, professional, experienced DJ
service. Also you are dealing directly with the DJ which means you will not be
paying any added commisions or fees to an agency or entertainment consultants. Also
dealing directly with me translates into personalized service because I treat every
affair, no matter if it's large or small, as special. This means you can expect the
following when you work with me:
- Your consultation appointment will be with me, the DJ that
will be at your function, which means:
- You will
personally see my professionalism. It is not uncommon for people who use a large agency or
DJ service to find out the DJ they interviewed isn't the one that shows up at the
function. DJ services will often over book their DJs and be forced to hire
someone outside the agency to fill in. This means that the DJ you interviewed and
liked may not be the one that shows up. What's worse the replacement DJ may not even
be an employee of the service you hired, in a pinch they will use anybody they can find,
whether their professional or not. In my 11 years as a DJ I have never
missed a job. When you hire me, you get me and nobody else.
-
- You will
avoid potential mix-ups about your function. Large agencies often have a separate
person who performs the interviews who then tells the DJ what you requested for your
function. Often your requests are not communicated effectively to the person working
your function resulting in mistakes and mix ups. When you talk directly to the DJ
you are working with you avoid the chance mistakes occurring
at your function.

- There is no added commission or fees to be paid to an
entertainment agency.
-
- Agencies
charge you a fee, plus what ever the DJ costs. What's worse is all
they do is give you the name of DJs on their list, you still have to view the tape of the
DJ and interview them. Hence you still have to do the work and pay an extra
fee. You can save yourself this added fee by dealing direct with the
DJ. That's the advantage of dealing with J. S. Productions I am not an agency
therefore you are dealing direct and saving yourself the added cost of a middle man.
