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 cannot believe how much energy the kids had! They were still dancing after I packed up the equipment! The preacher and I were talking about how well you put everything together and the hard work that went into setting up the venue. We were both impressed! I could tell it was very important to you that your family and friends enjoyed themselves and felt included. Please take care and be well!

I used O’Kaysions Entertainment for my wedding back during late April and what can I say other than these guys bring the full package! Very friendly and very excited to participate in our big day! Playing games with us and sprinkling some songs that really livened up the venue during the reception was everything! They were highly communicative and they could work around whatever you have planned for your event! If you are looking for a service that can give you a fun time and still look after you during the process look no further! Highly recommend for your event!

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • 12 years old or younger • 13 - 17 years old • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Rock • 80s • Oldies • Funk / disco • Country • Pop • Hip-hop / Rap • Community center • Lighting • MC services

Thank You for making us a part of your big day! The venue was gorgeous and your family and friends were great. I know there is nothing but happiness and a bright future ahead for you two!

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 $250. 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?
I have been in entertainment since 1996. I took a course from a sound tech years ago when music went from disks to digital.
