Since 2011, I have offered Wedding DJ services for couples throughout New England and beyond with passion and pride.
HOW I DJ WEDDINGS
As a DJ, I always strive to play my music in a way that is meaningful and exciting. I share and create music out of passion and connection to my audience. As a musical curator, I strive to give my listeners a reason to dance and to create the perfect atmosphere of celebration.
One of the most special settings to share music is at a wedding. I have always believed that music embodies and carries emotion more than any other art form, and when shared at an occasion as memorable and special as a wedding, music can be the carrier of all of the memories and joy that weddings foster.
More than a business opportunity, Wedding DJ'ing is something that I take pride in, and I consider it an honor to perform at weddings and to curate the soundtrack to the greatest days of my clients' lives. I'm often disappointed by how many "professional" wedding DJ's do nothing more than press play on the same generic songs and spend half the reception sitting down or saying awkward things on their microphones. In my own process, I strive to replace musical lifelessness with passion and energy for my craft.
Taking influence from my years as a club DJ, I put a great deal of spirit and excitement into the music I play and constantly read my crowd to find the perfect mix of songs. I bring many elements of live music performance into my wedding DJ'ing process. I value authentic and actual DJ'ing for weddings; I mix songs together seamlessly, produce remixes, and create a cohesive music experience throughout the night. I work with couples in advance through multiple meetings, consultations, and detailed communication so that we can plan and coordinate the event extensively to fit their needs and most important values. Most of all, I seek to create a genuine experience by putting my focus on the quality of the music and shying away from quirky wedding tropes, conventional traditions, or mixes that lack meaning or emotion.
As a professional DJ and musician, I have an arsenal of advanced music equipment hardware that go beyond standard setups with top-of-the-line speakers, lighting, and performance elements. I customize the sound, lighting, and setup for each event event to fit the atmosphere and maximize the physical space available for your event. My standard equipment includes:
- Pioneer CDJ 2000nexus controllers for dependable music coverage.
- Pioneer DJM 2000nexus mixer, allowing multiple inputs and microphones.
- A unique visual experience for music performance using an Emulator Touch Screen controller to see the music mixing as it is performed live.
- 4x Yamaha 15" powered speakers for strong presence and balanced sound.
- 2x Yamaha 18" powered subwoofers for powerful low end presence.
- 8x Astera Light Tubes for incredible dynamic wireless lighting effects.
- 4x LED RGB wash light bars for coloring and lighting the dancefloor.
- Uplighting for up to 16 points throughout the room to colors of your choice.
- Wireless microphones to amplify sound for your ceremony and receptions speeches, including handheld or lavalier clip microphones for a sleek hands-off approach.
I do not approach wedding DJ'ing as a business opportunity; I approach every wedding with passion for my craft and genuine care for creating a celebration worthy of your most special day. If you are interested in my services for wedding DJ'ing, I would be honored to discuss the details of your wedding and to discuss if I am a good fit for the event you envision.
BEYOND THE MUSIC
In addition to my DJ services for reception parties, my standard DJ package also includes the following...
- Full day support without hourly time limits or restraints, providing detailed attention to the setup and music for the entirety of the party.
- Ceremony audio services, including wireless battery-powered speaker and microphone systems to amplify and record audio from the ceremony.
- Ceremony music performance, including live piano performance and other instrumental options.
- Activ8 Photo Booth included for free. This photo activation setup uses state-of-the art hardware and software to allow guests to fully control their experience with custom photo, video, and animation options. Your wedding attendees can review, edit, print instantaneously on high quality gloss paper, and share out their photos using this setup. See more information by clicking here!
- Event lighting including professional wireless Astera battery-powered dancefloor pars and poles, uplighting, lasers, and moving head lights.
- Audio recording, including high-fidelity audio recording of the ceremony, speeches, and music.
- Projection systems with live visual mixing of video clips or dynamic slideshows featuring a visual representation of the celebration!
- Custom remixes for first dance or wedding party entrances.
- Live piano performance for wedding ceremonies.
- And occasionally in unison, Wedding Photography or Wedding Filmmaking; for smaller wedding events, I've sometimes pulled "double duty" by doing both wedding DJ'ing and photography/filming. For certain events in which I can feasible manage both, I'm thrilled to work with couples interested in hiring me for multiple roles!
PRICING
Every wedding is unique. I approach each marriage with a new set of ears, a fresh energy, and a developed creative approach. Because there are so many aspects can play a part in creating the perfect environment at a reception, I customize my packages and offerings for each event, so I work with clients to find the perfect budget for their event. I seek to ensure that my wedding pricing is fair and below the over-inflated "market averages" that many DJ companies insist upon.
For a more detailed quote for my wedding services, please get in touch with me to share more information about your wedding such as the date, location, production needs of the ceremony and reception, the length of the event, inclusion of additional services, and the general styles of music to help develop a quote for my pricing.
