Every now and then, a prospective bride or groom asks me the same bold question: “Why are you the best DJ for our wedding?” And I always give them the same honest answer—one that surprises them every time. I don’t pretend to be “the best.” But I know exactly why I’m an excellent choice for couples who want reliability, personality, professionalism, and a reception that feels like them from the first dance to the final send-off.

I was recently asked by a prospective client why I was the best option to DJ his wedding. I get that question a lot, cttually. And the truth is, I am never sure that I am the best option, but I always know that I am an excellent option.
For one thing, I meet you in person. Always. And I have fair pricing. I have to cover my expenses which continue to go up while remaining competitive with others in my field, but there are no hidden fees, and I try to keep my prices as low as I can because I believe EVERY bride deserves her fairy tale wedding no matter what her budget may be.
I have 25+ years experience, and I have DJed hundreds of weddings. I can provide references, reviews, testimonials, sample playlists, videos, and photos if requested. Unlike many DJs, I listen to my couples and I defer to them on all things. And I never rush them into making a decision they are not ready to make. I believe that rushing couples to book is unprofessional and disrespectful. I always want my couples to think carefully and to be sure that I am the right fit for their wedding expectations. It builds trust and creates a strong foundation for the collaboration we will share as we plan and prepare for what will be the most important days of their lives.
That said, I am always ready when my couples are, and I spend many long days pre-planning and preparing for every wedding I DJ. I am professional and flexible, and I am an extraordinary emcee. I use the very best equipment, so the sound is always impresssive. I also continue to invest in new add-ons that are trending in my field. And I ALWAYS put the bride first. And, of course, I am fully insured and licensed by and registered with the State of Ohio.
When couples approach me, they see me for who I am. They know what they are getting, and if our personalities "click"—and they almost always do—it helps to put their minds at ease. They know I am the right choice for their weddings because they know exactly what I am going to offer them. It usually takes just one brief conversation. Then, they breathe a sigh of relief. When a couple is in the thick of planning a wedding, they are usually very overwhelmed. My sole purpose is to let them relax. I want them to look forward to their receptions, not stress about them. And as for the day of the wedding...well, weddings are tricky affairs. You don't want to hear this, but something ALWAYS goes wrong. My job as your DJ is to try and make sure you never know that it has.
Many of the couples I have DJed for have become good friends, and even more of them have become repeat clients. I am honest and dependable, and I know how to read a room and fill a dance floor. The music and entertainment I provide is personalized. No two weddings are ever the same, and I do not use a cookie-cutter approach. But I do every wedding my way—which just happens to be YOUR way. This is the only way I know how to do it.
I DJ because I love the interaction, the music, and the creative challenge of giving every couple the day of their dreams.
And a truly great DJ, just for a moment, can make an entire room fall in love. Because DJing is not about choosing a few tunes. It is about generating shared moods; it's about understanding the feelings of a group of people and directing them to a better place. In the hands of a DJ with real music knowledge, songs create rituals of spiritual communion that can be among the most powerful events in people's lives. This is what I give my couples. Always.
Most guests will remember just two things about your wedding: the food and the music. There is no greater thrill than helping to make sure that your wedding will be one that is always remembered.
So yes, I am VERY good at what I do, but so are many other DJs. This is why I am always so thankful and appreciative (and humbled) when a couple chooses me given the field of competition.
And, as a final aside, there is this: I am a romantic. And while I DJ all types of events, weddings are my specialty for this reason.
The truth is, I care about the couples I DJ for. They aren't nameless strangers, they are so much more. I treat every couple as I would my closest friends. They deserve to be treated as well as possible. They have, after all, chosen me to play a part in what are the most important days of their lives. I want my grooms to be happy. I want my brides to be happier. And in the years that follow, when my couples look back on their wedding days, I want the memories they share of those days to cause them to fall in love all over again.
That is why I am an excellent option. Does it make me the best at what I do? Who knows. I don't need to be "the best". I don't need accolades or awards. I only need to be the best option for the couples who hire me. And I make damn sure that I am. Always.
