James Brown
Owner
I've done over 3,500 weddings and special events over the last 25 years. So doing functions for that long, you have to be passionate about what you do. What makes me unique is, even though I am the owner I normally do the functions myself. So I know things will go well.

James supported our 50th multi-class reunion for Fountain-Ft Carson HS on Sept 7th at Venetucci Farms (a great venue) and was fantastic! He was responsive, showed up for "set up"...
early and had a great sound system, with lights. James was helpful, funny, cooperative and helped us MC the night from 5:30 to after 11 pm. He spun some great tunes from the 70's and kept the night going with various announcements and reminders. Everyone loved him and his assistant, CJ and they truly made the night, both memorable and so much fun! For all of us in our 60's and 70's the dance floor was packed with people for more than 2 hours ... and nobody hurt themselves! Thank you James and you have our highest recommendations and wish you and your company the absolute best!

James Brown was an amazing DJ! Not only did he help me come up with an incredible variety of music, he basically emcee'd the entire party from beginning to end. During the dinner...
, we had Irish dancers. James played their music, as well as music for the dinner, and then let the guests know that the party was moving up to the barn loft. Once we got up to the loft, he timed all of the special songs perfectly and then really got the dance floor swinging with his energy, enthusiasm and great music. James is a top notch DJ and an all around great guy! I had the opportunity to work with him outside of my wedding and he was always such a joy to be around. I would highly recommend James for any special event that requires a DJ with great taste in music as well as an ability to bring out the best in all of the guests! He truly made my wedding so special and I felt as though he was part of our family.

I've worked with James over 20 years for events including our vow renewal, a high school reunion, and my son's wedding reception. Additionally, James has been the DJ of choice for...
a private event I have attended since the 90's.
James is professional, reliable and knowledgeable: he understands the importance of having a successful event, regardless of size or venue. His demeanor and "can do" approach helps to minimize the stress of putting together an event with many moving parts.
I can always rely on James to show up well ahead of schedule, set up and be ready way before the event. There's no one else I would consider working with whenever I need a DJ for an event - James is simply the best there is in the business!
Response from James Brown DJ Service on 08/25/2019

y part of those great memories! We held our wedding and reception at the same venue so James was both our DJ and emcee. He met with us earlier to find out our likes, preferences and to lay out a plan. He was very professional, knowledgeable and talented in speaking and playing the right music just at the right time. He made sure our guests were thoroughly entertained and kept the show going. He is a big part of a successful, and more importantly, memorable moment in our lives! We highly recommend James for your wedding or any event as a DJ and emcee. Thank you to James for making our moment even that much more special!

eople on the dance floor continuously for over 4 hours. He was great with announcements for dinner, toasts, cake cutting, dances, and everything else we needed. He's very easy to work with and with his 20 years of experience, he was able to get every single song request that was given to him. He's also very reasonably priced compared to the other DJ's I checked out, and he's very reliable. I would recommend using James's services in a heart beat!
