Overview

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my midwest market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

What to expect

Regardless of the size of your wedding, or amount of "non-partiers-types" you have as guests in your wedding, expect your wedding to feel more like a festival rather than just any other wedding. I push guests just beyond their hype threshold, and in return that makes a crowd of strangers, feel like they're old time friends. And that's what sets me apart. My ability to help people get out of their heads and into their bodies. I do this by playing feel-good music, using the inflections in my voice, dancing with grandma, leading line dances, or starting a conga line to get the party going, while using my charismatic personality to increase the energy of the room, and keep the energy high throughout the entire event. It's truly something you have to see for yourself. Just check out my social media page for a small glance at what you can anticipate.

Additional booking notes

For a 300 and under person event venue, I typically bring
Two 15 inch speakers
Two 18inch subwoofers for some nice base
Three microphones for speeches and of course a lapel mic for my officiant
12 programable up lights to add a scenic ambiance to the hall
Premium dance light to have a club type atmosphere later in the night
And a ceremony PA system that hides away from photos but still packs a punch if your ceremony is in a different space.

For 300 - 500 person event venue I bring the same equipment, however I add two more speakers to fill out the entire space better.

For an extra fee I also have:
Photo booth
Video booth
TV & Projectors
LED Dance Floors
Mirror Dance Floors
Vinyl Dance Floors
Sparklers, and more
