Vendors with offices in thier homes

How do you guys feel about this? FH almost didn't go in to a DJ appointment because of this. He felt really uncomfortable.

Our DJ runs an office out of his home - it was very professional

FH felt like this too about photogs. 2 florists ive seen already work from their home, so im not sure if he will go for that or not.........?

Doesn't bother me at all! Our DJ has their offices attached to their homes (totally professional) and our florist also works out of her home (not nearly as professional, but I'm not worried).

I met with our band and the woman who we are getting invitations from in both of their homes. Explain it to FH this way - the $$ the dj (or whoever) saves from having overhead like an office is extra savings for you guys!

Re: Vendors with offices in thier homes

I have noticed that MANY dj's and even some Photographer run out of their homes. Honestly netiher me or my FH even thought twice about it...
It all depends on how u feel... Good Luck

Re: Vendors with offices in thier homes

I met a DOC at her home office; I was a little uneasy going by myself so FH came with me. It wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought but I'm still glad FH came with me.

We had our DJ come to FH's house for a meeting; he's in NJ and he said it would be easier for him to come to us since he had other meetings in NY. It wasn't bad at all; a little distracting with FH's nephew trying to touch all the DJ's stuff but it was a comfortable setting. But we know the DJ from previous parties so it wasn't like a total stranger was coming into FH's home.

I think it is more common now... I'm not bothered by it. Our photogs work out of their home... I think now that everything is digital it is more cost effective for them that way. I know I would work from home if I could!

Re: Vendors with offices in thier homes

We went to see 2 videography companies w/their offices attached to their home...at first I was a little uncomfortable but it was fine.

Re: Vendors with offices in thier homes

All my vendors work out of their homes. I don't mind it

Re: Vendors with offices in thier homes

I am not bothered by it either ........ Whether they are in their office or home, if they are professional it shouldnt matter.

Re: Vendors with offices in thier homes

I am not bothered by it...My dj works out of his house...and to be honest I never thought it was strange at all

Re: Vendors with offices in thier homes

I think I met almost all of my vendors in offices at their homes. There was only one vendor who had their office at their home that we were uncomfortable with and we wound up booking someone else. Other than that, I don't see any issue with it. Just means there is no excuse for them not to get to work!
