Calvin was so easy to work with and made our wedding day so special and fun! I curated a very unique playlist as I am picky about music and he played every song I picked and then even added in some I loved! When I asked him to play golden for my 4 year old sister he did! And she will never forget him announcing her name. I never left the dance floor thanks to Calvin!

Calvin Brackbill

Owner

I have been DJing weddings for over 13 years. I have always had a passion for music and live music since I was a little kid. I always enjoyed dancing to music growing up and could always be found walking around the house with my earphones on listening to cds on my portable Sony CD player. I love making the couples special day a reality. Nothing makes me more happy than seeing the bride and groom out on the dace floor enjoying themselves. I enjoy making the couples special day as stress free as possible. Hiring my company ensures that you will have a stress free memorable wedding.

His photobooth was also a huge hit with the perfect photo stripes that printed out as a little token for the guests to take home. I can’t recommend DJ Calvin enough for your wedding or event!

Calvin was nothing short of amazing! Leading up to the wedding, he was responsive and quick to answer any questions I had. My wedding was a tad stressful as there were last minute ...

decisions about moving the ceremony from outside to inside due to weather. Calvin was so responsive and flexiable to the moving of everything around. He was very helpful in offering ideas of how to make the ceremony run as smoothly as possible. My family who was moving things around because of the changes had nothing but great thing to say about him. In addition to all the changes, he graciously stayed for an extra hour of music outside of the original timeline when I wasn’t quite ready to stop dancing. If you want a DJ and master of ceremony who truly cares about making his clients happy, look no further!

ght an energy that made us feel like we were newly engaged again! He was extremely detail oriented during our month out meeting. Calvin completely understood our vision of wanting a dance party as soon as our cake was cut. He was on time, made sure he was set up "out of the way", kept the flow of our ceremony, made sure to pronounce everyone's name right! The list really goes on. Once all the kids left at 8pm, he quickly transitioned into what I requested as "Raunchy"! haha. I wanted a dance party and that's what he gave us! We had foam lights that he was SURE to hand out for us. He knew how to keep people on the dance floor. Once 10:30 hit he was quick to clean up and make sure nothing was left behind. I couldn't recommend Calvin enough!
