We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Tasos Hernandez a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Tasos, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Looking back, what’s an important lesson you learned at a prior job
When I started as an independent DJ, I was doing contract work for some local wedding entertainment companies. I learned a lot about the standard approach in the industry, and I knew there had to be a better, more authentic way of doing things.
I was the most affected by the the DJ/couple relationship. Everything was automated and impersonal, and there was hardly any face-to-face time before the day of the wedding.
I decided to create an entirely new process centered around the unique vision of each couple. I love diving into a collaborative planning environment, and our DJs are highly trained in cultivating a deep, genuine connection with our couples.
Tasos, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
We are focused on connecting the creative vision of our couple with the skills of our DJ to facilitate the best music experience possible. Your wedding DJ is with you at every step, so on the day of your event, you can relax knowing everything is covered,
From our initial meeting, we are focused on how we can best serve you. We want to get to know you, what you’re excited about and if you have any questions about what you should expect.
We’ll run you through what it takes to facilitate a wedding from mic’ing up your officiant at the ceremony all the way through grand entrances, toasts and the dance floor! We coordinate with your entire vendor team throughout the evening to make sure everything flows smoothly, and we include all equipment standard in our packages.
We want to make sure everyone has an unforgettable time. We sit with you to curate your music selection from ceremony and cocktail, through dinner, all the way to the final song at the end of the night. Our goal is to build the energy of the evening from the moment your guests arrive to your final exit to get everyone involved, excited and ready to celebrate!
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
We love our Colorado wedding community. A majority of our bookings come from vendor recommendations, and we are always looking for ways to give back to and further integrate into this group of talented people.
Our reputation comes from 7 years of the highest quality wedding services available. We are extremely detail oriented, and our MC services reflect how deeply we connect with and care for our couples.
We have spent over a decade working with nationally-recognized wedding vendors. This experience has allowed us to understand the network responsibilities that go into facilitating the perfect event.
Through this, we have figured out how to refine the wedding DJ process into an innovative system that unifies all the efforts that go into a couple’s wedding experience.
We have been able to connect with and listen to feedback from the industry’s best companies, and integrating this into TH Entertainment’s standard operating procedures has given us the reputation of being the best at what we do.
Any fun sales or marketing stories?
One of my most proud business “brags” comes from a couple who actually chose not to book with us.
Our main goal is to form a relationship with everyone we speak to. We genuinely want to hear about your planning process, budget and unique needs for your event. If it isn’t a fit, we even suggest DJ services that may better suit the needs of the couple.
In this instance, the couple’s circumstances led them to a different event DJ.
A few months later, we get an inquiry from a new couple referred to us by their friends: the couple who didn’t book with us!
They told them it was their biggest wedding regret, and they wanted to make sure their friends went with the DJ service they wish they had chosen.
I have always held this experience close to my heart because I think its a great testament to the genuine care we have for each couple we get to meet. Even if we may never work with them directly, I am proud to know we can have a positive and real impact on those we interact with.
