Make Your Charleston Wedding Stand Out

Fifteen years ago, I walked into my first Charleston wedding with a simple goal: create something no one had ever experienced before.

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve performed at over 2000 incredible celebrations and weddings all over the world, each one featuring my signature blend of live instrumentation and expert DJing.

From day one, my goal was to become the #1 Charleston wedding DJ.

FAQ'S Everything you need to know about booking an afterparty DJ

Do you travel outside of Charleston?

Yes! I've performed special events all over the United States. I regularly serve South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, but I'm available for travel anywhere. Over my career, I've performed at events in 50+ destinations nationally and internationally.

Can you perform at private homes or non-traditional venues?

Absolutely! I've performed at homes, backyards, beaches, rooftops, and all kinds of unique venues. My equipment is designed to be portable and adaptable. Whether it's an intimate backyard party or a large estate celebration, I can set up and deliver the same high-quality entertainment.

How do you customize music for different age groups?

I specialize in creating multi-generational playlists that keep everyone engaged. Before your event, we discuss your guest demographics and preferences. I blend classics that resonate with older guests, current hits for younger attendees, and timeless songs that transcend generations. The live piano element adds sophistication that all ages appreciate.
