Its actually not a bad marketing idea. While I would also have a "main" number (as inevitably, one will be getting a lot of "Jenny" calls), it is a great hook to get people to remember your company in what is a highly competitive and saturated market.

The mobile DJ company that I worked for here in Orange County is called "Fly By Night." It is a funny name that people remember. They have been in business for over 30 years and are well known (and they also provide great service to their clients!).

Were you a part of their company in 1994? I think you guys were my DJ at my wedding.

Yes. I have finally 'retired' (after about three years of trying to do so) about 2 years ago. I was with them for about 20 years.

It would be very weird if I were the DJ at your wedding. Do you remember who your DJ was? Oddly, I remember most of the weddings by the location: where was your reception?

More to the point, was he wearing a dress and frilly panties?

If only I'd known that was an option!

Maybe I ought to dig out my wedding album and see... what a strange coincidence that would be!

While I do not claim to remember every wedding I have ever performed, I do not have a recollection of playing any backyard receptions in Mission Viejo.

I just find it so odd that I remember receptions by the location: I have no idea why this is.

BTW: if you have a picture of the DJ and send it to me, I may be able to tell you who it was. I trained many of the DJs around that time.

They wouldn't let me where a dress to the receptions, but I always had the panties on underneath my tux.
