A Step Above the Same Old!

The masses have spoken, and I'm happy to announce that Something New Entertainment has been named one of the top five best DJs on the Akron-Canton HOT LIST!  Second place --hey -- not too shabby for the underdog!  We're small, but our excellent record of client satisfaction obviously won out over our size.

We were narrowly bested by a larger entertainment company that has been on the Fox 8's Akron-Canton HOT LIST for disc jockeys for much longer than us. At the time that standings were hidden, we trailed them by a only a single percentage point, and since I know several of you who indeed voted after that point, we know  that the DJ competition must have remained very close up until the end! From where I stand, I've got to tell you: it's a tremendous accomplishment!  We are so moved by the loyalty of our past clients, fans, and wedding vendor colleagues.

Looking over the results of this contest, I see representatives of several very, very different styles of DJing, and I can see why each of us has risen to the top of our category, appealing to the select needs of a certain niche of the market.  We look forward to continued excellence, and we feel so privileged to work in a market where we have so many very worthy competitors such as these, since it means that each bride has the opportunity to select a DJ company that best suits her needs and her personality.

Something New's unique mix of interdisciplinary studies in live music and theatrical sound and lighting tech/design and computer engineering paired with a deep belief in the power of music as a driving force and the importance of having a DJ who is personally available to you for consult prior to your event has certainly set us apart in the market as a champion pioneer for comprehensive customer service.  In addition, we believe that our equal opportunity employment practice of encouraging all DJs (including female DJs such as myself) to excel through the same opportunities has afforded us a broader perspective to continually assist our clients in crystallizing their goals for their wedding ceremonies and receptions both musically and through our coordination efforts.

A special congratulations to all nominees, especially the folks at Hats Off Entertainment (1st Place), as well as to the DJ Crew (3rd Place), Beach Boyz Entertainment (4th Place), and DJ Larry's All-Occasion Sound (5th Place).  Good show!

To each and every one of you readers out there, and to your friends, family, and coworkers: thanks for voting.  Your support made this possible!

We are pleased and humbled to announce that Something New Entertainment is a nominee for Best DJ in the Wedding category of the 2010 Best of the Akron-Canton HOT LIST!!!

After last October's unexpected Beacon's Best nod, (which we didn't even know we'd been nominated for until we got the congratulatory call from the Beacon-Journal), we thought it might be a good idea to let everyone know about this one!  Though it's exciting that we were able to become one of the Beacon's Best DJs without campaigning, you know us; we're not the complacent sort!  We are fortunate to have you guys, and we'll never forget it!

We are, again, competing against some of the larger companies in town, only hoping that the satisfaction and enthusiasm of our loyal past and current wedding clients will outweigh our smaller size.  As you may know, DJ AJ9 is extremely selective about staffing, and so that we can devote the time, energy, and manpower to each wedding that it deserves, we take a maximum of three bookings each Saturday -- less if we have a particularly large engagement.

On behalf of the entire staff here at Something New Entertainment Bridal DJ Service, I'd like to ask you for your vote for Best wedding disc jockey on the Akron-Canton Fox 8 HOT LIST.  Would you take a moment to show your support by visiting the Fox 8 site to vote for us and by asking your friends and family to do the same?

Voting begins March, 15, 2010 as soon as the clock strikes midnight on the Fox 8 HOT LIST site.  Remember: a review or recommendation is not the same as a vote, but we do really appreciate both reviews or recommendations as well as your votes!
