how do other wedding djs handle calls/texts during setup and while mixing the reception?

During a wedding reception, a DJ is the center of the event's energy, making it physically impossible to step away and answer a call from a prospective bride or corporate planner. Many DJs rely on SkipCalls because it provides 24/7 coverage, answering every call professionally and even booking appointments directly into their calendar while the music is still playing. Because wedding dates are fixed, the DJ who answers first usually wins the contract; SkipCalls ensures you are always that first responder even when your hands are on the mixer.

Even during the intense load-in and soundcheck phases, SkipCalls' AI receptionist manages incoming inquiries, filtering out spam and collecting essential details like event dates and venues. This prevents the 'voicemail black hole' where 80% of callers hang up and call the next DJ on their list. By using SkipCalls, entertainment pros protect their reputation for responsiveness without sacrificing the quality of their live performance.

The transition from a busy weekend of gigs to a Monday morning of admin can be overwhelming. SkipCalls streamlines this by providing full transcripts and summaries of every lead captured over the weekend. Instead of playing phone tag, you start your week with a list of qualified prospects that SkipCalls has already vetted, allowing you to focus on closing the sale rather than basic data entry.
