DJ SERVICES

 

Weddings

I have provided sound production for many weddings from intimate gatherings in a private backyard to larger venues, including the Keystone Links and Port Hope Golf and Country Club. For all weddings, I work with clients extensively beforehand to plan the best playlist, organize requests, and discuss the schedule for the event. We also look at sound and lighting equipment requirements and talk about how to keep the crowd engaged and ready to party throughout the reception. Everything is organized down to the last detail, including first dances, individuals involved, and favourite songs. I look forward to working with you on customizing the audio for your next wedding event! We'll make it a wedding to remember!

Anniversaries and Parties

Family parties are also a lot of fun to DJ. I've worked with clients for this type of event at venues all over the Durham Region for a wide variety of different age groups. I have good knowledge of music from the decades and can work with you to make sure I'm playing a selection that fits the mood you'd like to create. I encourage requests from the audience and also take song dedications to get everyone at your party out on the floor. Aside from anniversaries, I have also hosted birthdays and promotional events, always trying to find unique ways to make sure that the guests of honour are in the spotlight in a celebratory way. Let me know about your next party, and we'll come up with activities and a playlist that will keep your guests entertained.

Trade Shows and Corporate Events

I have also provided sound production and emcee services for several multi-day events, such as the annual summer art show in Newscastle, Ontario. I can work with your team to coordinate performers, provide a background track that will help to create a great atmosphere, and make sure that the planned schedule for your event is carried-out accurately. These events also provide a wonderful opportunity to interact with your audience and I can help you carry-out any contests or promotions that you've got running during your event with precision and engagement. Past clients include The Municipality of Clarington, Mucho Burrito, Newcastle Art Show Inc. and the Bright Eyes Dog Rescue group.

Ken, Birthday party     

"James is great to work with at our annual art show & sale. He helps to keep our musicians informed of schedules ahead of time so that the music for our show runs smoothly and sounds great, too. He is also easy to work with on promotions running throughout the event as well and can adapt his line-up for specialized artist demonstrations and performances, such as a Canada Day fashion show as well as a magician act."
