A Family Friendly DJ, LLC.

Introduction: I am proud to be recognized at one of Thumbtacks top DJs in the greater Portland area having won the 'Best of 2015' and 'Best of 2016' award. In 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 I've earned the 'Top Pro' award from Thumbtack, earned by less than 4% of all Thumbtack pros. Please read some of my many reviews and you'll see why. There are three things I think that really make me stand out from other DJs. First is communication. Good communication prevents mistakes and helps things run smoother with less stress. Before we even sign a contract I will make sure I have a clear understanding of what you are expecting in a DJ and that I can fulfill that expectation otherwise I won't take the job. I'll use weddings as an example. At weddings I don't play songs about breaking up, cheating on your spouse, etc. I know it sounds silly but most Djs don't even think about something like that. Second, I work very hard to keep the music family friendly. I read lyrics and categorize accordingly. I purchase special 'radio edits' of today's hits (the cleaner versions that are allowed to be played on the radio) to keep things clean and fun. Third is the music itself. Like just about every other DJ out there I have thousands of songs available from many genres spanning 70+ years. Where I think I stand out is WHAT I play depending on the type of the event. Corporate events, school dances, charity events, golden anniversaries, birthday parties... they all have different needs and need to be handled appropriately. Call me and we can discuss YOUR needs. Here is a list of things that are included at no additional cost: *Unlimited phone consultations *MC work during the event *The use of a wireless microphone *A deluxe 4-in1 dance light system for small to medium dance floors *Set up and take down time *Travel time within 50 miles of my home in Vancouver I love to take requests from the guests. However I primarily play the genres of music YOU have requested. You're the one paying the bill, after all. Safety, integrity, and professionalism are important to us. We (my wife and I) operate with an actual business license and are fully insured. That is something not all DJs do so be careful. My style is simple and fun. I don't 'scratch' or alter the music when I play it. I think more people enjoy dancing to great songs the way they were originally recorded and don't want to hear a DJ 'showing off'. Whatever your need for a DJ is, call me and I will gladly answer any questions. If this is for a wedding, I have developed a helpful tool called a 'Wedding Worksheet' to help guide clients through many of the challenges and pitfalls associated with a wedding and reception which you will also receive from me. My goal is to help you have the most wonderful experience imaginable while taking as much stress off you as possible. I have the greatest job in the world because I am able to make people happy by playing great music. I am thrilled when I can help make a bride's dream of a magical wedding and reception come true. I am ecstatic when at a corporate Christmas party I turn what would have been a hum-drum get together into an outright party. I take great satisfaction when students come up to me during a school prom and thank me for doing a great job. I ask, who WOULDN'T love to do this?
