-
I am an open-format mix DJ, so I'm comfortable with various genres, but I primarily play pop, dance, hip-hop, and R&B.
I love a good mashup or remix, but I still want it to have the original feel. I tend to mix quickly, similar to a nightclub DJ, but of course, tailored to be appropriate to the event or wedding I am performing at. I love songs with a good groove, such as funk, disco, or house elements.
-
If I have your date available, I’ll email you, and you’ll get a link to schedule a discovery call (and we can both do a little happy dance).
After the discovery call, I will send you a customized proposal. Once you accept the proposal, you digitally sign the contract and pay the retainer to secure my creative services. This is payment 1 of 3, with the other 2 being a balance split and any production add-ons.
-
I’ve been DJing weddings regularly since 2016, though I started long before. Between weddings, socials, corporate events, and nightlife, I do 40-50 annual events.
-
Whether requests are allowed or not… your guests will still make them! Requests are just that, though, a request, not a guarantee. If I think a requested song will work for the event, I will play it; if I do not, I won’t.
-
First, the easy answer: I am happy to act as your MC, will do so with a natural voice and tone, and it is part of almost all of my events. As far as packages go, well, I don’t do packages because I do not believe in one size fits all for unique and milestone events. I build out custom proposals in three areas: Talent, Production, and Travel. I want you to get what you want and need and nothing you don’t.
-
I will do one wedding most weekends. I may do two during peak season or holiday weekends, but I prefer to keep it to one.
-
I constantly listen to music and subscribe to music services for DJs. I go through them weekly to acquire the newest and hottest songs while also looking for modern remixes of classic songs.
-
I work with at least one assistant for most weddings; the number of assistants for other private events varies depending on the complexity of the production.
-
Absolutely. Love is Love.
-
Maybe. I believe lighting is essential to creating the right party atmosphere for sensational moments and memories to be made. If you have hired a professional lighting company, I will work with or defer the design and implementation to them.
-
Yes! While Boston-based, I’ve DJ’d and lit events and weddings in New York City, Las Vegas, Sarasota, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Boca Raton, to name a few. I’m happy to discuss your needs for any destination event, whether domestic or international.
-
YES! PLEASE! A huge part of my process is getting to know the ‘musical DNA’ of my clients and/or their events to ensure I nail the vibe! This is a creative process and I find that the more I know about you and your music, the better the party I can provide!
-
Yes and no. When I have events open to the public, I’m happy to have you attend, but I cannot extend an invite to someone else’s wedding or private event. Most of my work is in the private event space, though public events can be found here.
-
Weddings are quoted per day (until 11:59 PM) rather than hourly. Its rare that we have the ability to extend, mostly due to venue requirements. Non-wedding events do have an hourly overtime rate
-
Absolutely. I carry a 2 million dollar policy and am happy to provide a COI to your venue.
-
A few things. First is my process; if you have read through the site, you will see me mention it multiple times; it’s not just the planning meetings but the continued professional development and networking investments I make in myself year-round.
Second is the way I seamlessly integrate lighting into my performance; I believe that, when done right, lighting compliments the music and elevates the overall event.
