Chris Gordon
Owner
I proudly hail from New England, and have spent years zig-zagging across Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and beyond, providing unmatched service and experience as a wedding and events DJ for hundreds of couples and families.
I’m extremely proud to say that I have spent 15+ years bringing my exclusive brand of expertise, dedication, and celebration to thousands of people across New England!
I love spending time with my wife and two daughters (future DJ’s, I hope!) in Maine, playing basketball, researching the history of popular music, and walking our dog (Willow says hi!).

Chris is INCREDIBLE! He DJed my wedding in September 2024, and was game for all of the crazy ideas that my husband and I had to make our wedding unique and everything we hoped for....
The process leading up to the wedding was extremely smooth - Chris communicated regularly and was extremely clear at every stage what he needed from us to prepare for the big day.
At the wedding, he not only managed the dance floor, but before that, was in charge of the ceremony and cocktail hour music. Even when the weather acted up and blew through the tent, he wasn't phased. We kept the party going and Chris was instrumental.
We would work with Chris a million times over!

ut how amazing DJ Chris was and how he kept the dance floor packed all night long. He is very personable and knowledgeable of music styles and genres, how to mix songs into other songs, and how to read a room full of people and keep them dancing until the end of the night. There are a lot of DJs out there, but DJ Chris stands out amongst them all because of his pure talent and knowledge of his profession. If you’re looking for a DJ that knows what he’s doing and will keep the party going all night long, then look no further bc DJ Chris is your guy!
