We had a great time at my brother in law’s 60th birthday party. John played all the music they loved. He was a perfect fit for our party and was very professional. He made sure to ask beforehand what kind of music we wanted, so he was ready with all the favorites.

Thank You for your kind words! Your family and friends were great, and I know they appreciated all the time and effort it took to put the party together.

I have hired Jon for many different events and parties over the years. I have worked with many djs before him. Outside of being very good at what he does, there are three things about him that really stand out to me over the others. First, no matter where or what the event is, he ALWAYS looks like he wants to be there. Second, instead of just staying behind the dj booth the whole time, he actually makes the effort to meet and talk to the guests and find out what they would like to listen or dance to. Finally, it is nice to hire someone that does not have an ego or going to do things the way they want to. He is also a great corporate MC as well!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is always going to depend on the event and what is requested. Weddings start at $850. DJ, Karaoke, and MC start at $350. Live music starts at $250.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will always respond with the price based on the inquiry and follow up with a text. When the customer lets me know they would like to discuss the upcoming event and possibly book my services, I like to set up a phone conversation and go over the event and what is expected of us. Then go from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
