ADD-ONs
I call it "The Gramworthy" fully customizable tube and wireless uplighting. It's so impactful and transformative.
I don't have a one-size-fits-all price, each room is unique so I have a range to give you an idea from minimal to full room. $500-$1500
EQUIPMENT
I provide and personally set-up all the equipment necessary (plus back-up) for your event.
I put a lot of thought into the performance, reliability, style, and esthetics of the equipment I rely upon. My installation at your event is clean, modern, enjoyable to listen to, and in wedding white.
NEXT STEPS
Let's meet for a DJ Interview!
Zoom or in-person. What's covered? I'll answer any and all questions that you have, share my past experiences, and probably ask you some questions that you might not've thought about. After meeting, you'll be able to figure out if I'm the best fit for your day.
My advice
Finding a DJ is easy, but "selecting" a DJ needs some care. After your initial consultation with "us"(I would do at least 5) meet the top 3 in-person if possible. Knowing in advance who your DJ will be is key. If the company you're considering can't introduce you to your specific DJ, I wouldn't sign a contract imo. Lastly, it's important to actually "like" your DJ a little bit... We spend the whole day around your friends and family, so find the one you like and have confidence in!
Hi this is Rheo (Ray-O), thank you for taking the time to check me out! I've been crushing wedding receptions, and private/public events for over 20 years in the twin cities and beyond. I pride myself on customer service from our first meeting until the last guest leaves. I'm great at keeping your guests informed, monitoring/managing the flow of your timeline (if desired), committed to working as a team with your other vendors, and keeping the dance floor moving.
I'm best for couples that don't want the main character at their reception to be the DJ. That's NOT me... I let the music do the talking.
My Hosting/MC style is non-cringe, clear, and informative. My DJ style is open-format with an emphasis on recognizable and danceable music.
My DJ style is open-format, and I'm usually mixing four different genres for four generations.
If you are way into music and you/ve been making the ultimate playlist for your wedding, I'm your DJ.
I love having a must/do-not playlist, I just want the liberty to play them in the "right" order and mix in what moves the crowd. I'll play the songs you want, avoid the ones you hate, drop bangers, and I take requests as long as it's cool with you.
I started my DJ career as soon as I could stand on a chair and play my dad's records when he was at work. Music is my first love and I'm grateful to be playing it to this day.
Before I DJ'd my first wedding (May of 2002) I thought I was too cool, I just liked being a nightlife DJ. When a friend asked me to DJ his brother's wedding my perspective changed... 800+ events later I'm still hungry and passionate about my craft.
In my "regular" life, I spend most of my time with my best friend/Shitzu named Clarence. I also enjoy working on my garden, skateboarding, BMX, discovering new music, learning from other professionals, and practicing the art.
