Introduction

I am a radio, mix-show, club and event DJ. I also host events and cater to the style of the event. I am professional but will definitely knock it out of the park, no matter what style of music or event I'm hired for. We've also added photo booths to our business. Our clients are racing about how much fun it is and how much they enjoy the props we provide. At the end we post all of the photos online for our clients to access and share indefinitely. We make sure your event is professional and a huge success. We also provide great references if needed.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with the outstanding DJ, Denmark W on several occasions. He is my dependable go-to-guy when I want to host a great and fun party. I started using his services for a very special and personally important party. Not only did he read the large and diverse group of attendees well and played a fantastic range of suitable music, but he kept us entertained with games of participation and crazy fun throughout a long, celebratory evening. All guests were welcome to participate, have a little gentle fun poked at them in a sweet way, and then all laugh together at the outcome. I was hooked! And since then I have used his services for at least one party per year in different locations around my hometown, Portland, OR. These have ranged from personal parties, fundraiser events, and movie nights. I have attended elegant weddings and children's parties where his adaptable style perfectly fits the mood of each event. At one of my parties, he shared the stage with a live band, and he shared some of his equipment when the band found they were missing some. He and the band members built an instant rapport that has lasted during later encounters over the years. At fundraisers he takes on the helpful duty of encouraging bidders to get on with the business of raising money for our very worthy cause. He has always arrived early or on time, and ready to pitch in with whatever is needed; indoors or out; rain or shine. He is open to the host and the guests at events, willing to take suggestions, and prepared with options and sometimes surprises. For the first event I hired Denmark, I gave him a set list request, and he did a great job extrapolating and spinning tunes I would never have considered with happy, pleasing results. He has stepped in to lead dances when the floor gets a little confused or lost; every time there was unity and good times restored to the dance. He graciously accepts a dance request from me near the end of his shift at each event, and he dances as smoothly as he spins! He has served as MC at events as planned, and he has also stepped up to the role with easy grace when another planned MC was not able to perform that duty. His smile and laugh grace the entire span of each event without fail, adding a wonderful personal touch to a very professional job. I cannot wait to host another event and use the services of this wonderful guy. Everyone should be so lucky!

Denmark helped our wedding reception to feel very special. From our first meeting, he put our minds at ease. He's very experienced and professional, yet so friendly and approachable. He strives to make your event personalized, and even gives you access to his extensive music database to pick your songs. We didn't go a super traditional route, and added the "shoe game" before our first dance. He coordinated it perfectly, and it ending up being a lot of fun. We had a Sunday wedding, and didn't have a big crowd for dancing, but his choices were fun and we really enjoyed ourselves. He kept the reception flowing smoothly, and even helped to coordinate our sparkler send off at the end of the night. Don't hesitate to choose Denmark for any of your DJ needs...you'll be glad you did!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each event will vary. However, we are not a cheap DJ company. We pride ourselves on being in business and doing nothing but great business for 20 yrs. We offer a premium service and quality and our ratings are not forced, they speak for themselves. We believe in working to make sure that every event is excellent so that people want us to come back.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to quote potential clients online and allow them to digest the information. I don't believe in a hard sell. I want people to feel the genuine sincerity in what we offer. We want everyone to feel comfortable with us. If the couple decides they want to go with us I like to setup a meeting first before signing a contract or paying any money. That way they can meet me in person and see if the truly feel the same way. Once we sign a contract we require a half down deposit and that is when they officially are on our calendar. At that point we send over a link with access to our music database where our clients begin selecting their songs for wedding and reception. After that we give them space and don't crowd them but we monitor the selection and are available for meetings or phone calls any time all the way up to the wedding date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
There really is no formal schooling for this. However, I attend DJ conventions every year that provide knowledge of new ideas, tips, trends and ways to handle many different scenarios. This training has proven to be invaluable. That is the only "classroom" training available to teach you everything from what products to use to create new ideas to microphone techniques. Taking these classes shows that you're invested in improving your business and your clients' experience.
