DJ. Musician. MC. Entertainer. Everything you need for your amazing event! I know planning an event and choosing a DJ can be a lot; let me make the music the easiest part for you. I’ve been making memorable experiences for 17 years; where I shine is matching the music to your vibe while also reading the room, using real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy up, working with vendors to keep the event running smoothly, interacting with the crowd, and customizing what I do for each client to create an authentic celebration that brings you and your guests together. Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or private party; I've got you covered. This might not be the 500th event that you've planned, but it is for me and I use my experience as a top entertainment professional to help you every step of the way; from your first message, to the last song of the night. About me: I'm an outgoing & kind person that genuinely loves bringing people together through music. I've performed nationwide as a professional entertainer for events small to large; I started off my career with humble beginnings and worked up to performing luxury events for celebrities, pro athletes, and Fortune 500 companies. I deliver the same quality at a 20-person backyard party as I do at a 350-person luxury destination wedding. F.A.Q. Q: Can I pick the music for my wedding/event? A: Yes! You can be as specific or open as you'd like about your music preferences. I'm here to make this perfect for what you and your guests like. Q: How do I give you music I like and wedding details? A: I have an amazing app called Vibo that lets you easily import music from your own playlists (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Youtube), make specific song requests, view my recommended playlists to get ideas, and fill in wedding info so it's all in one place. Plus you can even invite your guests to make song requests on the app before the wedding. Q: What kind of sound & lighting do you use? A: I use RCF speakers that immerse you in sound at any volume; you've haven't heard music sound this good before! For lighting I use modern tube/bar lights that are wireless so they can be placed anywhere, they're bright enough to make a party vibe but unlike traditional lighting they don't blind people or ruin the photos during the event. Q: Do you offer ceremony services? A: Yes! I offer DJ music or custom live music arrangements of your songs. I use wireless waterproof speakers that can be placed anywhere, and wireless lapel and/or handheld microphones for the officiant, couples vows, and any readings/speeches. Q: Do you provide a wireless microphone for toasts/speeches? A: Yes! I always setup a wireless microphone to use for any toasts/speeches. Q: What is your DJ style? A: I customize the music to match the client and the event. I'm completely comfortable with a wide variety of music! When it's dance time I do real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy going and I read the crowd to match the music to the event & guests. You deserve more than a budget Spotify DJ that doesn't care if your guests leave and the dance floor is empty. Q: What is the booking process like? A: I'll need your date & location, then give you a pricing quote, and answer any questions you have. If you'd like to move forward with booking I'll send you a contract to look over and e-sign. Then a 50% deposit is due within 30 days, I accept most major forms of payment like credit card, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, ACH transfer, and a mailed check. Once the deposit is paid I'll reach out to setup a time to chat on a phone call or video call to talk more about your wedding vibe! Q: What is room up-lighting? A: Up-lighting is a set of wireless lights placed on the floor next to the walls/beams of a venue and shoot a soft beam of colored light up the wall/beam. I control these lights with a remote and can change them from a soft color during dinner to changing colors during dancing. This is a great and inexpensive way to decorate a venue and really makes the room feel like a party.
