About
My business started with a heavy focus on karaoke services and mainly for veterans' groups that I'm a member of. It quickly grew to have more emphasis on DJ services. During my Navy career I was privileged to perform as Master of Ceremonies for many events, some as large as 900 people. I feel at ease and enjoy providing MC services for any event. While I enjoy talking, my preference is that the music takes center stage. You won't hear me talking between every song. The music you want at your special event is more important than anything I might say. I'm very old school in that I don't do any scratching or on the fly mixing. Read my reviews and choose me as your DJ! My quote includes a second sound system for the ceremony. I enjoy seeing people have a great time and taking requests. And it makes me feel good if I played some small part in their happiness. I want the customer and their guests to be happy.

Jeff Friar, a.k.a. Karaoke Commander, was the perfect choice for our outdoor birthday party. Jeff came prepared for inclement weather, and also provided a screen for our slide show! He was knowledgeable about all types of music and came with a repertoire of Bluegrass music far beyond my expectations. He also helped facilitate the party, and played all of the songs we requested. Jeff helped make our party a big success. I will definitely call Jeff for future events! He is a 5 star DJ. Pam P

I am comfortable with many genres of music. Pam requested a bluegrass centric playlist. I always give the customer what they want!

Our experience with Jeff was top notch! He was the DJ at our daughters wedding and he helped the evening go perfectly! He knows how to make it flow and keep the guests involved. Loved the music he played and he went above and beyond by coming to our rehearsal and helping us with the flow of that too. He values your input and wants to make your day as special as he can. He is organized and punctual as well. I could go on and on!

Jeff was the DJ for our wedding and he was awesome! He was able to make some last minute changes for me and showed up and set everything up way ahead of time. He was very professional and played what we wanted but also catered to how the audience was responding. I would definitely recommend him!

I was looking for a DJ to host my wedding reception when I was referred to Karaoke Commander. After reading his reviews on here, he sounded promising, so we hired him to do our wedding. I have to say, he delivers all he promises to. He did an outstanding job! Apart from the music we specifically chose, the material he picked was current and fun. I had many guests compliment our choice of DJ. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for any occasion.

Jeff was the DJ at our wedding, and did an amazing job! He got our families up and dancing, and did a great job at mixing up the music based on our family's wide range of musical tastes. He was really fantastic! He was very flexible the day of, and worked well with my coordinator. He was very tasteful, punctual and dressed professionally. I thought it was cute that he had a vest on that matched the color of our wedding. Jeff really brought the party, and helped make our day very special.
