All wedding packages include DJ/MC services, professional reception sound, dance-floor lighting, planning consultations, the online music and timeline portal, a satellite speaker for one cocktail-hour location, standard setup and breakdown, and backup equipment. Ceremony-inclusive packages also include a dedicated sound system and wireless microphones at the same venue. Reception-only packages exclude ceremony sound; add it for $350 if needed. Uplighting is a $500 upgrade to Signature and already included in Elite. Package hours are total consecutive performance coverage, including the ceremony when selected. Setup and breakdown are outside those hours. Additional coverage is $300 per hour, subject to availability and venue limits. Thumbtack's 9+ hour estimate is the nine-hour base; additional hours are $300 each.

CORPORATE EVENTS $1,500 for 6 hours, including professional sound, a wireless microphone, music and announcements planned around your agenda, and standard setup and breakdown. Planning, coordination, and administration are included, with no separate service/admin fee. Travel, lodging, additional rooms or systems, and optional enhancements are quoted separately before booking. Your written agreement confirms your services and total.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Start with a message containing your event date, venue or town, approximate guest count, and the hours you need. Tell me the atmosphere you want and any important traditions, announcements, or music preferences. I'll check availability and help you choose the appropriate coverage. We can work through the details by message, or use an optional 45-minute video consultation. Once the scope is agreed, I'll send the contract and payment information. Your booking is secured when the agreement is signed and the required initial payment is received, according to your contract. Then we'll plan the music and key moments together. Wedding clients use an online planning portal, and we'll review the timeline before the event. I arrive early for setup and bring backup equipment.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied at Berklee College of Music and have more than 20 years of experience in music and live performance, including singing in an eight-piece wedding band before transitioning into DJing. That background helps me understand musical flow, read a room, and host important moments with confidence.
