DJ issues...What would you do?

Hey Ladies,

I'm 11 days out and I'm freaking out over our DJ.

I emailed him last week to find out what he would like to eat since we are having individually plated meals.  Didn't hear back. So I called and his phone goes straight to voicemail, left messages, no call back.

Should I give him a few more days?  Start looking for a backup?  What would you do?

    I'd be freaking out to, is he located in your area? If he is, I would do a surprise visit, ask him whats up... If hes not, give it maybe another 2 days but I'd get back up soon. Especially 11 days before...until then, email him and keep calling, if you signed a contract with him, you have rights, especially if he is paid in full.

    Start looking for a backup, it's what I would do.  Do you have a street address for him?

    I do have his address but I believe it is his home.

    I have emailed him as well, its been over a week and no response.

    I would suggest looking for a back-up DJ. That sucks.  Really really badly.  I'm sorry. :(

    I would drive to his home if it is close, pay him a surprise visit and see what he has to say, even if you already have a back up dj, see what his excuse is. Also I gighly recommend that if he has a website, you write a review, that way other brides do not have to go through this like you did!

    Look right away and keep trying to contact him at the same time.  Cover all bases.

    So is he not responding at all, or just not to this specific question? For instance, have you e-mailed him to confirm timing and other things about the day and has he been responsive to that?

    I don't know that I think he's flaking, but it's a possibility if he's being completely unresponsive. I asked my vendors what they wanted to eat (meat or veg) and none of them gave me any indication, so I just ordered the meat option for them and it seemed to work out.

    Also, I didn't hear from my DJ about wedding details until the week of my wedding. Granted, that was stipulated in the contract, so I knew it would be that timing, but I'm pointing it out to say all hope may not be lost. I'd keep trying him and give him a date that he MUST get back to you by in order for you to consider everything finalized and confirmed for the wedding.
