Q. Will you travel to DJ a wedding?
A. Yes, i have deejayed weddings from Seattle, Albany, Oregon City,  to Portland, Roseburg, and Hood River.  Depending on the distance the rate may be higher but i provide DJ services around the Portland Metro area since i am based in Beaverton OR.

Q. What Style of wedding DJ are you?
A. I would consider myself a hybrid DJ.  Beginning my career as a night club DJ, i have the technical skill of mixing / blending songs that most "wedding DJs" dont have.  On the other hand i also make wedding formality announcements and coordinate the events to ensure the wedding stays on track, something a "club DJ" would know nothing about.  I am proud to say I have deejayed over 60 weddings the last 4 summers off referrals only.
