Once I'm contacted, I would like to speak with you to understand your vision and determine which services you need to fulfill your day. After you book with me, you'll receive a very detailed planning package (emailed in PDF), along with instructions and guidance. Approximately 2-4 weeks prior to your wedding, we'll go over everything to insure you have the timeline you want, personal touches, and address any questions/concerns.

Over the past 25 years I've attended annual DJ conference around the country to learn better ways to provide a more interactive, fun, and personalized service to those who book me. I've also been a member of Toastmasters International, to develop my public speaking skills, as well as performance workshops focusing on things such as story telling, serving as Master of Ceremonies, and ways to deal with distractions or mishaps at events.

Pricing depends on your needs. This can range from essential reception services, to adding in a ceremony, to full lighting, decor design, and other services.

I was into music, and got asked to work at school and college events. I bought equipment, practiced my mixing skills, and provided services at school events before transitioning to weddings after a few years.

I'm fortunate that I get to work with couples who want something more than just a warm body, pressing play, and using generic statements to announce formalities at a wedding. People who hire me typically want someone that will represent them well on a microphone, as a Master of Ceremonies, in front of all their guests, as well as help them plan their entire wedding day from start to finish.

I had a couple book me for a local, destination wedding (for them). We both fell in love with one another (I tend to do that with my couples). We had such a fun and memorable day, part of it being when the police showed up 15 minutes before the end of the party, because people in the are were concerned about the noise. This couple has visited me when in town and I've traveled to visit them. They remain close friends still today.

Have a realistic budget! It's disappointing to both the consumer and the pro if the budget is too low for the services desired. The biggest misunderstanding is that couples are hiring a DJ to play music for 4-6 hours. No event is just 4-6 hours. There's the initial meeting/interview, sending out the contract, putting together the planning packet, typing up a timeline, collecting all necessary music, loading equipment in a vehicle to drive to the event, setup, performance, breakdown, returning home. On average, there could well be 30-40+ hours invested into making sure the 4-6 hours of performance deliver fun and memorable moments.
