💡 Big news, big lights!

We just added a digital LED marquee sign to our arsenal, which lets us change messages on the fly—perfect for shoutouts, surprises, or heartfelt moments that light up the night.

And for those who love a classic vibe? We still have our static LED marquee sign to keep it timeless. ✨

Both are ready to shine with our Nightlife Experience Package.

Kicking off a new chapter as an Assistant Principal—this time with my favorite sidekick by my side 📚✨

The journey has officially begun, and while I’m excited to step into school leadership, I’m also being real with myself… balancing this new role with DJ life won’t be easy. That means 2026 might be a transition year for DJ Persist.

My availability will be limited, and dates will book up fast—so if you’re thinking of locking me in for your big day, now’s the time to reach out! I’m still here to bring the vibes, just with a bit more homework on the side 🎧📆

05/30/2025

Our photo booths showed OUT this past weekend, delivering laughs, memories, and maybe a few questionable dance moves caught on camera 🤪

We offer 5 unique booth options to fit your event’s vibe—and yes, you can book a booth even without DJ Persist on the decks (but it’s always a party when you do both 🔥).

Ready to level up your event? Let’s make some memories.
