We have all seen it: fundraising events run by committees of volunteers who are committed to the cause, but do not understand the dynamics of running a large event. Usually, in an effort to honor a chairperson, one of the committee members is chosen to also be the Master of Ceremonies and speak on the […]

Belltower Chapel & Garden – helping children one wedding at a time.
Fort Worth, Texas has many beautiful places to hold your wedding event. The Marquis On Magnolia, the downtown YWCA, and the Ashton Hotel are all great.

In-store promotionals add value and FUN!
Part of being a well-rounded DJ & MC (announcer too!) is helping to promote brand awareness, venues or products on location.

Most people know me as a professional DJ & MC. But with my specialty being wedding ceremonies and receptions, I am sometimes open on Friday nights.

The ups & downs of UpLights.
The digital revolution has changed the music industry. No longer do mobile disc jockeys carry around hundreds of CDs (I used to carry as many as 2,300 to each event!). The advent of the MP3 allows us to use hard drives the size of a handful of CDs and have the equivalent amount of music. […]
