Your Indiana/Midwest Disc Jockey/Karaoke Connection - Weddings and More, Bloomington and Beyond!
Looking for a Disc Jockey (DJ) and/or Karaoke (KJ) for your wedding reception, school dance, birthday party or other event in Bloomington and elsewhere in an around Indiana? Well, for five years before I started as a web developer, I was a Mobile DJ. And you know what? I missed it. So now I've been back in business for going on nine years now, serving the Bloomington/Indianapolis/Columbus, Indiana area (and other neighboring towns), on up to South Bend (I'll visit my mom after the party. I try to be a good son!), and back down to Louisville. As a longtime singer and songwriter as well, I thought "What the heck?" and bought a Karaoke system and library as well. So c'mon, let's have a party!
You can book me to DJ or Karaoke for your wedding reception (or even ceremony), anniversary, birthday party, prom, or whatever in Bloomington and surrounding areas by using the contact info to the left, or feel free to ask questions using my contact form. I also act as your master of ceremonies (especially at wedding receptions), and bring all the dance floor lighting and sound equipment you need. It's my job as a DJ to help you to have fun and to help make your event run as smoothly as possible. (I'd also be glad to set up your wedding website!)
Want to simplify your wedding planning? Believe it or not, I can also DJ the music for the ceremony, whether you'd enjoy traditional classical music (Pachelbel Canon, Wedding March) or "easy listening" (Unchained Melody etc.)! If you'd prefer to book live music, I'd be glad to work alongside your band by MC'ing the special moments at your reception or other event, and provide additional recorded music as well (for example, special songs the band doesn't know, or DJ'ing during their breaks).
I also provide planning software to help you to organize your event and pick your special songs. This also lets me know exactly what you want to have happen at your event. I am available for questions along the way, and will call you for a final consultation leading up to the event, to make sure we are completely on the same page on the big day.
More About My Career as a Disc Jockey
I began my career as a mobile DJ in 1993, learning my craft from a long time area DJ. The first time I did a gig on my own, our clients had requested in advance that we do the Chicken Dance. I thought there was no way I was going to get a group of grown people to do that! They not only Chicken Danced and loved it, but they rocked all night long. I knew I had found a home.
I enjoy all types of parties, from wedding receptions and anniversaries to birthdays to college parties. If you're celebrating, I want to help you celebrate in style, with your favorite music. The Chicken Dance is completely optional, of course. I'm ready to DJ your way: Some people want a wild and crazy DJ, which is definitely something I enjoy doing. But others feel that their occasion calls for a more laidback DJ/MC, while a few clients may just want you to shut up and play the music. Not a problem. I mean, here I am playing the music that makes people happy. How could you not love this job?
My 10,000+ song collection of music includes the latest pop, rock, country and hip hop, as well as oldies stretching back to the 40's. My audio system will rock the house -- or whisper sweet music during dinner -- without taking up a huge amount of space. My light show adds just the right touch of party atmosphere without taking over the party. I added karaoke to my capabilities, because I think everybody who wants to sing should get the chance!(Note: Please request karaoke when you book your event, as this requires additional equipment.)
