Let's work together to give you the greatest chance at the best event possible, don't gamble with your wedding

Someone once asked me to list my 5 strongest assets to my business, and my 5 weakest. After long consideration I decided to include
this list on my website. Honesty is the best policy and I pride my self on being upfront and honest with all of you.

Negative:
As a single operator I can only handle one event per day.

I book events about six to nine months in advance. Plan early.

I am not the cheapest DJ out there. You get what you pay for. Cheap = cheap.

I am about 30 days behind the teens in music, because I refuse to illegally download from the Internet.

I have a very large setup and a small setup. I need some room to set up. Typically about 2 eight foot tables.

Positive:

When you book me, you'll get me. No sub-contracts, no switching.

I'm insured and also certified with two professional organizations.

I have a huge library. 40,000 songs plus. Legal. My equipment is all professional and updated regularly.

My rates are very competitive, when you compare the level of services being given.  Time, equipment, experience, professionalism and
attitude. Silver setup is the most common package setup offered in the area.

I have a positive attitude. If I can help you,  I WILL. Even if it's not my "job". I will function as your reception coordinator if needed.
The event you've always dreamed of...We make it a reality.
Matthew Stevens is a Wedding and Master of Ceremonies Expert.
Apples to apples, I am very competitively priced. Same system, setup and hours = competitive price.  The difference is, I have more
to offer you.    We offer starter level services equal or better than our competitors and much more. Most of our clients say that they
would pay a little extra to guarantee the DJ of their choice at their event. When you book with me, I will meet with you, plan with you
and
guarantee in writing, it will be me that is your DJ/MC for your event. We have three setups, three light systems and we offer pro
MC services. Our lighting systems are superior to the competitors. Our equipment is newer and in perfect working condition to make
sure we don't have problems during your event. We bring back up equipment to each event just in case. We include a two man crew
to cover the DJ table in case you need us to help with other things.  I have over 15 years experience dealing with receptions. I can
handle most anything that comes up. We include local favorite connections to make sure your event is first class all the way. We
include reception planning and coordinating to make sure your event runs smoothly.  Give me a call to talk about your dreams
becoming a reality. 585-4008  We offer basic packages (Silver) just like everyone else. The difference is we have the Gold and
Platinum levels for those that want more.
