I haven't posted in a few weeks so I wanted to remind everyone that I still do audio editing for dance, cheer and twirling groups, voiceovers and record and produce farewell speeches. I have stopped DJ'ing because after 42 years the equipment is getting too heavy.

I will also say this. DJ'ing is an art form. Just because someone has fancy lights and speakers and music doesn't make them a DJ. A true DJ reads the crowd and knows how to keep people dancing. I can also tell you the statement "Good is not cheap and cheap is not good" is certainly true of DJ's. My brother Nathan and I were getting $450 for a wedding and $225 to DJ a school dance in 1996. And that was considered too low by some of the other DJ's who were getting $800 plus then. So here we are 26 years later and people are all of the time complaining that they can't get a DJ to play music for 4 or 5 hours for $200 and get mad that photographers are $1000. Well trust me on this. Spend your money on a good DJ and a good Photographer.

Don't trust this once in a lifetime event to your maid of honor's cellphone and spotify playlist and Uncle Ed's new camera or your cousin's iPhone 13. Because you can't go back and redo it if things don't work out. And the truth is, at the end of the wedding day there will be only 3 things:
1. you are married
2. you will have memories of the good time you had visiting with family and friends and dancing with them.
3. you will have photos that capture the fun and family.

None of your guests will remember if your flowers were real or artificial or what they had to eat or whether the cake was a small single one for you two and the everyone else had sheet cake or whether you had a 6 tier from a magazine. It all looks the same on the plate.

Good morning! I haven't posted in awhile!
I have retired from DJ'ing parties and dances, etc. I've used the same equipment for years, but it gets heavier every year and after DJ'ing for 40 years I'm going to concentrate on the other stuff. So I still do audio editing, voiceovers, music editing for cheerleading, twirling, etc. and also happy to record, edit and mix music for farewell speeches- or you can record your own speech and email me the audio and I'll edit and take it from there and send it back. I can also do voiceovers to answer the phone for your business.

Greetings! I have no idea what is going to happen with pageants this year. However, I offer totally contactless farewell speech editing and mixing with music for $20 and I'll mail a CD which you can disinfect further if you want to for and extra $5. I also can do slideshows which will vary in price depending on how complex and how long. I can send the show through Google Drive for you to download and post on Youtube or wherever.
Just private message me!
