We've created over 1,200 personalized, unforgettable wedding receptions since 1996, and are favored by numerous banquet halls, photographers, and other wedding vendors. It's safe to say that weddings are our specialty! We know what it will take to give you the magical day you've always dreamed about!
We like to meet all of our brides and grooms in person so we can discover what their specific needs are. Then, about two weeks prior to the wedding, we will either meet with again or call the bride and groom to make any changes and finalize all of the details, to ensure that everything is absolutely perfect for them!
As you arrive to your reception, your DJ will be waiting for you outside. He will then introduce you and your bridal party as you make your grand entrance to be greeted by your loved ones. He will also maintain the proper flow of events throughout the entire evening, and will interact with the crowd as much or as little as you want him to! He'll work as a team with your photographer, videographer, caterer, and hall manager to ensure that EVERYTHING rolls along according to plan!

Hey Brian,
You did an amazing job and all my guests thought you were great too! You made sure everything went smoothly, interacted with our guests just the right amount, and you had a fun personality. Plus, I loved the uplighting! It brought so much more color into the room! We also appreciated how you played the music we asked for and avoided all the songs we didn’t want. It was excellent! Thank you so much! -April & Scott Oglesbee, wedding ceremony & reception at Sunrise Park & Banquet Center, 7/31/10
Hi Brian,
Adam was excellent! He did everything we asked and kept our dance floor packed all night! He was very flexible when we wanted to make changes to the schedule of events and he played all the songs we asked for. He also came up to us when people would request songs with questionable lyrics to get our approval if he could play them. We really appreciated that!
We were totally satisfied with all aspects of your company and feel like we got more than we paid for because your service was affordable. Your online planner was easy and fun to use. Plus, we were so glad that you assigned Adam as our DJ. He was a perfect match for our style! Both of you were very professional. Thank you for everything! -Stefanie & Beau Bennington, wedding reception at Hilton Garden Inn (Levis Commons), 7/31/10
Hey Brian,
Thank you so much! You were excellent!!! You knew exactly what you were doing and got all of the special events done with GREAT timing! I also liked how you got everyone into the party with your interaction. On top of that, I was dancing a lot and I loved how you kept bringing me water! That is something I never expected, but really appreciated!
From the moment we booked with you, you were there to answer questions whenever I had them, no matter how dumb or repetitive they were, LOL, and then your performance was honestly perfect! We felt that we got way more than we paid for by hiring you and I would recommend to anyone to not only hire your company, but to also pay the extra money to get you as their personal DJ. Thank you again Brian. Great job! -Caitlin & Chris McVicker, wedding ceremony & reception at Holiday Inn French Quarter, 7/24/10
Brian,
Thank you so much for being the DJ at our wedding reception! You did everything and played everything we asked for, and you really kept the party going. We had many compliments from our friends and family about the music selection and great job you did. By the way, the uplighting was AWESOME! We will recommend you to everyone. It was a PERFECT night! -Kelly & Zac Ries, wedding reception at Franciscan Center (Lourdes College), 6/19/10
Hey Brian,
Joel's performance was excellent. He worked really well on the fly and I appreciated that. I hadn't told Joel my final decisions on some things before the wedding, but he discussed those things with me as son as we arrived to the reception and was good to go. The greatest part was that he kept me on task throughout the night, letting me know what was next and what I needed to be doing. He was also good at letting the photographer know what was going on.
The whole process was working with your company was very easy. With the online planning from and all the music right there, it was a cinch! I would also tell anyone who asked me about you how efficient you guys are. I really didn't have to think or worry about anything. Plus, you’re very affordable and I definitely feel that I got more than I paid for. Thank you! -Erica & Curt Musshel, wedding ceremony & reception at Crowne Plaza, 6/19/10
Hi Brian,
Aaron was fantastic! He was on time and a complete professional. As soon as we arrived at the reception, he double checked names and pronunciations for the introductions, and he also kept us updated throughout the night on the events that were coming up and what we still needed to do. He was very concerned about Sean and I and making sure that we had everything we needed. Plus, he played all of the songs I wanted and did not play anything from my "do not play" list!
Everyone was dancing all night and numerous guests told me it was the best reception they had ever been to because the music was so much fun! Your service exceeded all of my expectations and we feel like we got way more than we paid for! I would not hesitate to refer my friends and family to your company. Everything was exceptional and Aaron was really great! Thank you!! -Julie & Sean Chambers, wedding reception at Park Inn, 6/12/10
Brian,
Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job! We received so many compliments on you and we appreciate all the hard work you did for us! It was beyond excellent! You had absolutely amazing communication with us and even our bridal party. We wanted to make sure that you would play music that everyone liked and you were fantastic at reading our crowd and getting them up by playing the perfect song at the perfect time! Also, you were a true top-notch professional, yet had a relaxed attitude at the same time.
We could not ask for a single thing to be different! Our reception was perfect! Being in our 20s, we attend weddings all the time and have seen many DJs and knew that the DJ would make or break the entire reception, so we didn’t want to “save a couple bucks” and get an “average” DJ. We wanted the best for the most special day of our lives, and Brian, you are simply the best! None of the other DJs we’ve seen could even come close to your level! Sure, we had to pay slightly more for you, but it was worth every penny and then some!
There aren't enough words to say that could express how wonderful and impressed we were with you, and we will recommend you to every single person we hear of that ever has the need for a DJ! Thanks again for everything Brian, and please let us know if we can help you and your company in any way! You are very gifted! -Brad & Nicole Thomas, wedding reception at Holland Gardens, 4/10/10
Brian,
First off I just wanted to say our reception was perfect and a big part of that was because of Steve. He was amazing! As you know I was concerned with the pace of the evening - I wanted to stick to a schedule and I was scared that it wasn't going to move along as smoothly as I wanted it to, but Steve stuck to our plan and kept things moving just as we imagined! I was also worried about the DJ being annoying, or too loud and pushy (like so many I had seen before), but Steve was perfect! He was very professional throughout the whole evening!
Steve also stuck with my request list pretty much dead-on and mixed in some other songs to help keep the dance floor full. It was exceptional and we feel as if we received way more than we paid for with your services. Thank you for everything, and I will be recommending you! -Jennifer & Brad Nietz, wedding reception at Brandywine Country Club, 8/29/09

Hello Brian,
Steve did a great job. He kept things going & was very in tune to what kind of music to be playing. My nieces & their friends had the time of their lives dancing to all their favorite songs. It was so much fun doing the Cupid Shuffle in the back yard! I'm sure we'll be making this a tradition for our annual party - the girls won't allow me not to after they had so much fun!
Thanks again for getting someone set up on such short notice. It was fantastic! Hope to work with you again in the near future! -Gerri Leonard (owner of Serendipity Photography), 4th Of July Party, 7/3/10
Brian,
Aaron did a very good job and was very respectful to the kids and the adults. He made announcements when I asked him too and also stopped the music so we could do the birthday cake. I really liked that he suggested that he play background music while everyone ate cake. Thank you very much. I will be very pleased to suggest your company to anyone who may ask. Haylee had a great time! -Jennifer Ladd, 13th birthday party for daughter, 6/5/10
