Pete is a tremendous asset to our community. He has served as emcee at several Watseka Area Chamber of Commerce functions including our business expo and parades. The outstanding job that he provided regularly simplified my job as chairman of these events. His charismatic, yet professional manner is appropriate for a wide range of gatherings. I would absolutely endorse PJ the DJ and look forward to attending many future events that he works.

PJ the DJ's reply

Thanks for the great review. I like providing the best "color" to match each crowd, age group, music tastes. I think my background as a drummer/vocalist helped me to respond to the crowd. Whether it is a fundraiser, civic event like the Business Expo or 4th of July Parade, I focus on key points or themes to get the crowd interested in the "event".

Got along very well. Delt with Peter and his son Justin. Justin was our DJ at our wedding reception he did a wonderful job!!!!!!

PJ the DJ's reply

My son, Justin, has a personality much like mine: outgoing, friendly, willing to go that extra mile to please each client. Wedding and their receptions are our primary scope of business.

PJ worked 2 graduation parties for me and did a excellent job ! he asked questions about the type of music that that my daughters wanted and was prepared very well upon arrival. Would hire him again !

PJ the DJ's reply

Thanks Dale, High school graduation parties take PREP TIME. The music demands of the younger adults, mixed with the need for "older" music of parents, aunts, friends, can be a challenge. I'll do this for YOU and your needs. I worked with Dale and his daughters for the right mix to suit everyone's music tastes. The daughters were asked for 20 - 30 songs at each event. I used those lists, along with favorites from past decades to provide the "right touch". What can I do for YOU at an affordable price?
