About

I not only offer DJ services, I am also an acoustic musician. I specialize in non traditional weddings, often with acoustic guitar before and during the ceremony, then piano of DJing for cocktail hour. Then of course rocking the dance floor with heart thumping music that will get your party on their feet! I have an extensive lighting set that includes both room uplighting and dance floor/party lighting. I will communicate with you as much as you like so we can make your special day exactly what you want, down to the small details like song lists, volume of the music, what to wear, what time to get there, everything! I am insured by R.V. Nuccio and Associates. Many, many DJs here on Thumbtack are not insured, so always ask! I absolutely love encouraging people to have a good time!

Chris was the DJ for our wedding yesterday and did a great job. Everything went so smooth and he helped a bunch of people get onto the dance floor with some good music! He was really flexible and able to roll with whatever happened. We planned on only 2 speeches but when my dad decided last minute to give one as well, Chris saw my hand motion to lower the music and got it immediately. He also did a great job with the ceremony music and the uplighting! Everyone complimented us on the music we had for the ceremony. We had a great time, thank you Chris!!

Chris is not only an outstanding musician, but he puts his entire body and soul into his performance. The music is wide-ranging, he adjusts to the venue and the ambiance of the space and just engages everyone in his music. He's also a really good person, which makes working with him a real pleasure.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price I charge depends on the distance and if you want lighting.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I love music and love making people laugh, cry, and party, so I DJ as a passion, not a profession. I don't charge the huge sums of money other DJs charge for a couple of reasons: 1) I don't have the huge overhead that most DJs do and 2) I do it for the love of performing and seeing people moved by music. I'm told I should charge more, and I probably should. But I love it too much to turn down those on a budget!
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I MCed a 6 mile obstacle course race . . . hundreds of crazy athletes that I got to pump up and release in waves. So fun!
