A Perfect Night!

James was our DJ for my 70th birthday party. Oh, what fun we had! He’s very personable and professional. He’ll work with you to make your event perfect. We enjoyed his work so much that we booked him for our Christmas party this year. I highly recommend James for your next event!

What to expect

I quickly and timely connect with the client. I first find out what their needs are. I take time to listen to a client and find out their needs and musical tastes. I then work with you (the client) to put together the perfect plan for their event.
It's my job to make your event as perfect as possible. If it's a wedding ceremony my aim is seamless transitions as I play the songs you pick.
We want your guests to relax and have a great time at the reception. Whether it be a special song request they make or the chicken dance we want your guest to have a great time and remember your reception.
I welcome all customers and all age groups and musical tastes.
As a DJ you have to appeal to the masses while following your instructions. It is your event and I am not there for you. I am there for you.

About

Personal attention to detail for every client. If it's a wedding the bride and groom pick all their special songs and I offer to announce to help with a structure in the reception. From introducing the couple to their exit I play the right music and take requests and help the party get going making sure everything is covered. If I play a school or kid function it's making sure I play radio edit versions of songs that may not be too kid-friendly yet still playing the clean version of the song.

I enjoy entertaining and creating lasting memories. You have spent money on so many things for your event. You should have a great DJ that makes the party a hit. I can read an audience and play just the right songs to get the guests dancing and keep them. I combine lights and videos also in some cases if the client requests so.

Additional booking notes

Standard 110 electrical is all our equipment needs to operate. We also bring all the tables for our set up.

Services offered

Set list

My playlist is the most important element of the events I play. I use one rule at every event. Just play great music. Also, play what the client requests. That is part of my planning. I never play explicit songs at events unless it's with the full understanding and request of the client. I never play explicit songs at any children's event. I am very aware of the material and I am a parent myself.
I also take requests from guests but always use the client's guidelines. It is your event!
There are songs that maybe you used in sad times in your life. I also make myself aware of that and do not play any of that material.

Setup requirements

Standard 110 power outlet and usually no generators.
