There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

“Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)”

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music". I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget. In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd. As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

“If you are looking for a fun, energetic, engaging, charismatic DJ, look no further. Shane is the one and only DJ you need on your list. When I first started looking for a DJ, I did not know what to look for. Obviously, good reviews but who knew there was so much else to consider, like type of vibe you want for your wedding/reception, type of music you want played for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. How much MCing there will be or will not be, someone who will listen to your every request. Shane checked off every, single, box. When Shane and I initially got in contact, we had a 45-minute phone consultation about the wants and needs of what my husband and I were looking for our reception. Shane new exactly the type of vibe we were looking for and was on the same page when it came to music choices for cocktail hour vs reception. He asked for us to send him 5 songs that we would want played at the reception during dance hours and he put a mix together with the songs so we could listen to how he transitioned them and kept the party flow going. We were immediately impressed and signed the contract with him the same day. Fast forward to a week or so before the reception, Shane sent us some forms to fill out with questions, must have songs and do not play song requests. When we met him at the reception venue on wedding day, he was there over an hour early to start setting up and when he was done putting all the equipment together, he changed into wedding attire to fit the dress code. Cocktail hour was soon underway, and Shane got the mood going with the music we asked for. Meanwhile, he walked around and got to know our guests, had a couple of appetizers, a beverage here and there, he even took some amazing video of the bride and groom (he should be a videographer on the side). We loved that he blended in and enjoyed himself, he got along with our friends and family as if he had been a lifelong friend. Once cocktail hour ended, Shane was there to keep our timeline moving with our first dance, mother and son dance, father and daughter dance, and we had a video we wanted played so he made sure to help set up the projector and connect to his sound system to ensure the whole crowd could hear. Shane did not miss a beat of what we needed all night long. He played all our must play songs and was sure to not play any of the songs on our do not play list. He kept the dance floor PACKED all night long, he even played 20 minutes after we were supposed to wrap up because so many people were having such a great time. I got compliments all night long from friends and family at how great the playlist of music was and how easy it was to stay on the dance floor the way Shane mixes his beats. We wanted a party and Shane delivered. We cannot thank Shane enough for providing us with an unforgettable evening.”

“We cannot recommend Jeff, aka DJ Shyne, enough for any event, especially for a wedding! From the initial consultation to the last dance, Jeff was an absolute superstar. His professionalism, attention to detail, and incredible talent kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Jeff took the time to understand our musical preferences and seamlessly incorporated our favorite songs into the playlist. He effortlessly gauged the crowd's vibe, ensuring everyone, from the youngest to the oldest guest, was up and dancing. His ability to read the room and switch between genres was remarkable, creating an atmosphere that catered to everyone's tastes. Beyond his DJ skills, Jeff's charisma and infectious enthusiasm contributed immensely to the overall joy of our celebration. He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, coordinating with other vendors and even assisting with last-minute adjustments without hesitation. Not only did Jeff provide exceptional entertainment, but he also acted as an invaluable emcee, guiding the evening's events with grace and charm. His announcements were clear and engaging, keeping the flow of the evening seamless. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Jeff's incredible talent, positive energy, and dedication to making our day unforgettable. If you're searching for a DJ who not only delivers exceptional music but also elevates the entire experience, Jeff is the one you need. Thank you, Jeff, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!”

“I grew up with family members that DJ'd most of my family's weddings CA. But since I got married in PA they weren't really an option and to be honest I am glad they weren't. Stefan was incredibly professional, detailed, and fun to work with. He was so flexible with all the things we had going on. He helped me immensely to ensure that everything was timed well throughout the day. He was a perfect MC, had amazing sound equipment. And more importantly played DOPE A** music. My husband is a skater at heart and so he loves the classic early 2000 music like Mr. Brightside. So much so that he had a whole list of songs he wanted Stefan to play in a series. And Stefan DELIVERED. the entire crowd was pumped up by the songs and it made the whole night that much more amazing. When I say that DJ Stefan is worth every penny I mean it. EVERY PENNY. You will not be disappointed and neither would your guests. Worry free, awesome music, that's where it is at. Thank you Stefan!!!!!!”
