Hiring a wedding DJ isn’t just about finding someone to play music—it’s about finding a professional who will guide you through the planning process and deliver a seamless experience. So, what does working with me look like?<h3>Step 1: The Intro Call 🎤</h3> The first step is a vibe check. We hop on a call, and I learn more about your wedding, your music taste, and what you’re looking for in a DJ. This is also your chance to feel me out and make sure I’m the right fit for your day.<h3>Step 2: Booking &amp; Contract 📑</h3> Once you’re ready to move forward, we finalize the contract and get everything locked in. From that moment on, I’m at your service—text, email, call, whatever you need.<h3>Step 3: The Planning Meetings 📝</h3> Most couples schedule two main meetings with me:<ul><li>3-4 months out – We do a deep dive into your wedding day, talking through song choices, sound needs, and the overall vibe.</li><li>1 month out – A final check-in to make sure we’re on the same page and account for any last-minute changes. </li></ul><h3>Step 4: Wedding Day! 🎉</h3> By this point, everything is planned out so you can relax and enjoy the day. I handle all things sound, keep the timeline on track, and ensure that you and your guests have an amazing time.I take my role seriously—it’s an honor to be a small part of your big day. And after the wedding? I love staying in touch with my couples! If this sounds like the kind of DJ experience you’re looking for, let’s talk!

One of the most common questions I get is about my pricing. I get it—weddings are expensive, and you want to know exactly what you’re paying for. So let’s break it down.When you see my 4-hour, 5-hour, and 6-hour pricing, you’re not just paying for me to show up and hit play. You’re paying for a full-service experience. Think of it like billable time—whenever I’m actively DJing, making announcements, or managing the flow of the event, that’s included in your package.For example, let’s say your wedding timeline looks like this:4:00-4:30 PM – Ceremony (mic’d up for vows) 4:30-5:30 PM – Cocktail hour (background playlist, no charge) 5:30-11:00 PM – Reception (DJ’ing, MC’ing, keeping the party going) This would fall under a 6-hour package, covering ceremony and reception time.Alternatively, if your ceremony is happening at a church and you only need DJ services for cocktail hour and reception, your timeline might look like this:4:00-5:00 PM – Cocktail hour (DJ’ing) 5:00-10:00 PM – Reception This is also a 6-hour package, because I'm actively spinning for both cocktail hour and reception.One thing I always make clear—setup and teardown time are never part of the package. I arrive early, set up everything, and make sure the sound is perfect before your guests even arrive.Still have questions? Let’s chat—I want to make sure you feel confident about what you’re getting!

<h2>More Than Just a DJ: How I Lead with Value as Your Wedding Consultant </h2> When couples book me as their wedding DJ, they’re getting more than someone who just plays music. They’re getting a consultant, a planner, and a teammate dedicated to making their big day seamless and stress-free.My career started in consulting, and I still work in a client-facing role as a product manager. This experience has shaped how I approach my DJ business—I prioritize clear communication, organization, and ensuring my couples feel supported every step of the way.One of the biggest challenges couples face is decision fatigue. Weddings come with an overwhelming number of choices, from the first dance song to the last song of the night. That’s where I come in. Instead of leaving you with an endless list of options, I create structured “yes or no” choices to simplify the process.From the moment you book me until your wedding day, I’m available via text, call, or email. My role isn’t just to show up and press play—it’s to make sure your wedding soundtrack reflects your love story, the flow of your day is seamless, and your guests have an unforgettable time.So yes, my pricing includes DJ and MC services, but it also includes the peace of mind that comes with having a consultant who’s been through the wedding planning process—both personally and professionally. If you have questions, I’ve got answers. If you need guidance, I’ve got the experience. My job is to make this process easier for you.Let’s make your wedding amazing—together!
