Introduction: I think one thing that makes me stand out is the attention to detail that I have. Just looking at the pictures of my systems you can see that they are well balanced and pleasing to the eye and neat and organized. I love it when I do a show and people are seeing things they've never experienced before with a D.J. such as the music videos or the bubbles and the dance floor lighting.

Mark was very professional. We called him a few days before the event and he was very responsive. His website was also very helpful. He had an event form which guided us through the process. We had a simple wedding celebration which was attended by family. A very simple and no-frills and no-fuss event. But nonetheless, Mark worked with the small venue. His set up was clean. He managed to do both indoor and outdoor feed without sacrificing the quality of the sound. His speakers were fantastic - crisp, with just the right modulation so people can still talk. Mark managed to get everything in order despite the program modifications we had on the actual day. He was a breeze to work with, a true pro who works beyond what is asked of him. We sent him the files for our video late . Out of the 3 files one worked perfectly and he wasnt to blame of that fiasco. I highly recommend Mark for his professionalism , and the quality of his output.

My wedding reception. They flat out ruined it! His sister was my dj and she refused to play requested music bc it went against her religious beliefs. She announced my wedding party all wrong. She would start playing my songs without announcing it so we all had a chance to get the dance floor. Example:: my wedding party song just started playing while we were outside smoking and we all had to run in like idiots and my maid of honor had left to get her kids so she want even there. My cake cutting song: we were still eatin dinner and it started playing so we dropped everything and took off running before the song ended. My father daughter dance I wanted to make a speech before it played just thanking my dad and that didn't happen. Spend your hard earned money someplace else! These guys are a joke seriously!!!

I have a business policy of not playing explicit music at weddings and school functions because there are children present. After talking to my sister about this reception, it was a difficult job because she could never get people gathered to get any of the wedding formalities done because everyone was a smoker so various people would be outside smoking instead of sticking around inside so all of the normal wedding formalities like tossing of the bouquet, garter toss, bride and groom dance and such could take place. The final contract for this reception was not even received by the clients until 2am.....yes that's 2am on the day of the event when it was hand delivered at my home by the groom.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I don't think my pricing system is to complicated. There are a few variables such as travel distance, inside or outside show, and if there are stair steps involved that requires carrying of the equipment which can add to the price of the service.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I belong to many D.J. chat boards across the internet as well as subscribe to monthly D.J. magazines and newspapers to keep up on the latest equipment and trends.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've been a musician since the age of 9 and it gave me the experience of a lifetime to travel the world playing with a band. I"ve always loved music as well as sound equipment and lighting so I gradually got into D.J.'n where I can have more control over all aspects of the show to give guests a fun time they'll never forget.
