May 7, 2024Zero stars. Terrible DJ
If could give a zero star review I would... Absolutely horrendous.
.. Avoid at all costs!! Even if he offers his services for free. Hired a DJ, got a disaster. First dance fumbled hard and literally played 2 other songs and stopped before getting to right one, entrance song wrong, mics crackled at every speech making it inaudible and embarrassing machine) and did not deliver. Music cut out repeatedly - unacceptable! Agreed on playlist split, ignored mine completely. Uplighting are trash and we're set up in the middle of dinner. Avoid at all Costs!
Can not listen to ANY DIRECTIONS what so ever. Hire for 5 year birthday parties or retirement homes only.

February 29, 2024Great DJ- Easy to work with
We have a group called AdultPros that are for 50+ aged. We booked Da Moose and everything was smooth and he went above and beyond! Was on time even early. His son was help. DJ Moose also brought lighting that enhanced our event. He asked for songs that we loved and we heard em.
We will be using him again next year!
I highly recommend.

About
About Me
Hey, I’m Terry Da Moose Skillings, and I’ve been bringing music to life since October 31, 2014. It all started with my love for making people smile, dance, and create memories they’ll never forget.
Over the years, I’ve DJed all kinds of events – from beautiful weddings filled with love, to high-energy proms that keep students dancing all night, and even dark-themed parties with moody, immersive vibes. I also host karaoke nights, giving everyone the chance to step up, grab the mic, and become the star of the show.
My style is all about reading the crowd and making sure the music fits the moment perfectly. Whether it’s a bride and groom’s first dance, a prom king and queen celebration, a gothic masquerade ball, or a karaoke singer’s big moment, I strive to make each event special and memorable.
I believe in honesty and growth. Throughout my DJ journey, I’ve learned from my mistakes and used them to become better at what I do. Every party teaches me something new, and I’m always working to bring the best experience possible to my clients and their guests.
When you book me, you’re not just hiring a DJ – you’re getting someone who truly cares about your event, your people, and your memories.
Let’s make your next party unforgettable. Ready to dance? Let’s make it happen.
Additional booking notes
In the pulsating world of DJing, the rhythm is driven not only by beats but also by the unseen technical symphony behind the scenes. Exploring the technical requirements for a DJ service reveals a fascinating landscape where cutting-edge equipment meets artistic expression, creating an unforgettable auditory and visual experience.
Essential Hardware Components
✅ Professional Turntables
Turntables are the foundation of any DJ’s setup, shaping the soundscape and feel of each set. Choosing between Direct Drive and Belt Drive systems involves factors like torque, stability, and response time to deliver the smoothest and most responsive performance possible. Modern turntables incorporate enhanced tonearms, high-precision platters, and durable build quality, elevating the tactile experience for the DJ and enhancing the music experience for your guests.
