ARE THE D.J.s YOU'RE LOOKING AT PLAYING MUSIC VIDEOS???
MUSIC VIDEOS HAVE REALLY EXISTED SINCE THE 1940'S AND REALLY BECAME POPULAR WITH MTV IN THE 1980'S. 30 YEARS OF POPULARITY YET SO FEW DJ's OFFER IT AND AND YOU KNOW WHY?? BECAUSE IT TAKES MORE EQUIPMENT AND MORE WORK AND THE AMATEUR D.J.'s OUT THERE QUICKLY RUN AWAY FROM SUCH THINGS SINCE IT MEANS THEY'D HAVE TO SPEND SOME OF THE MONEY THEY MAKE ON THEIR BUSINESS. PROFESSIONAL D.J.'s DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SPENDING THEIR INCOME TO OFFER CLIENTS A BETTER SHOW.
HIRE FIRST CLASS D.J. SERVICES AND YOU'LL HAVE FRANK SINATRA, DEF LEPPARD, JOSH TURNER, LMFAO, RIHANNA AND THE VILLAGE PEOPLE PERFORMING VISUALLY IN PERSON AT YOUR PARTY.

Hi, I'm Mark Schwenn the owner. I realize that this may very well be the first time you've hired a D.J. Even if you decide to hire another D.J., reading this web site will educate you on what to look for and ask when you are checking out other D.J.'s! There is much to see and read, so ya might want to grab something cool to drink and prepare to be entertained and become well informed on what I have to offer and what your hard earned money will be going towards. As you'll see from all that is in this web site, I know alot about the business and have tons of experience in the field. Be sure to click on all the buttons on the left of this page and I'm sure all your questions will be answered. This web site has been over a year of hard work to make it the most informative D.J. web site out on the net, so please sign my guest book after you've checked out my web site and let me know what you think of it!!
Just a random thought - have you noticed that many D.J.'s phone book ads or web sites state that they are "Ohio's Premier" or "Ohio's #1" or "Best in Ohio" or "Areas Finest" etc. Curious on who gave so many a first place prize. You will find that for the most part, D.J.'s have huge egos and they all think they are the best. They are like Karaoke singers in a bar - all Karaoke singers think they are the best even when they sing the entire song in the wrong key and are 2 words behind during the entire song LOL. I'm sure you've seen it yourself among your own friends. Don't be blown away by some D.J.'s that say they have 1 million songs, 10,000 watt sound systems and such. I've seen some of these collections with huge numbers. They are all on computer hard drives and they have so many duplicated songs that it's insane. Just how many times do you have to have The B52's Love Shack in a karaoke or D.J. collection?? If you look at my song lists you won't see duplicates. Other D.J.'s will throw these numbers out at you because there is no way you can really verify if they are yanking your chain and they know that. Unless you look at their hard drives to get their song count, look at their amplifiers to see the RMS output and such you just have to take their word for it. This is why I have PICTURES on my web site so you can see truly see for your own eyes what you'll be getting. If another D.J. can't display pictures of his product which is himself with his equipment, chances are you're going to be taken for a unpleasant ride.
It's amazing how many people call me from the yellow pages and the first question out of their mouth is "What are your prices?" I totally understand this, so here they are (FREE, $100, $150, $200, $300, $595, $895, $945, $995, $1,445) That really doesn't say much does it. You don't know yet what you are getting at the different prices. Shopping for a D.J. is not something you can do on price alone. No two D.J.'s have exactly the same thing to offer you. It's not like shopping for a Ford Focus with the same color and options at every car dealership and getting the best price. There is a reason for that D.J. that charges only $200 to do a wedding, or even those that will do it just for free drinks. Yeap, there's nothing like having a totally drunk D.J. ruin your party. Come to think about it, I get at least 2 phone calls every year from an upset bride a week before her reception. She's scrambling to find a D.J. because the one she thought she had has canceled out on her at the last moment. Many times the D.J. was a friend of the family and chances are he was going to do it for free or at a much reduced rate but when he got a call from another bride who was going to pay money or pay more then the other bride he canceled out the previous engagement. It's just another example of that old saying,"YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"! Except with FIRST CLASS D.J. & KARAOKE SERVICE YOU GET MUCH MORE THEN YOU PAY FOR!! When you're spending hundreds of dollars for a hall, hundreds on the brides dress, and thousands on the food, you don't want to cut corners on the only thing that will provide your guests with a great time and keep them at your party and give them enjoyable memories for years to come. I've even had people that have said, "We don't need any lights". That's a big mistake unless you're asking me to do a outside show in the daytime...or a funeral!! How much fun do you have listening to the radio in your car compared to going to a live concert somewhere. There's a big difference in energy level and much of that has to do with the visual aspect which is caused by the lighting effects. Sound quality is another thing that makes the difference. Compare the sound of a cheap boom box to a band performing live. You need big speakers to get the warmth and low end to fill the space of a big hall. Speakers that are cracking due to being under driven with a small power amp is tiresome on the ears and brittle high end will not get your guests on the dance floor. If you think prices for a D.J. are high, you have to take into consideration the non-stop expense of keeping the music current, the repairs of equipment, replacement of light bulbs, 3 hours of set up and 1 1/2 hours of break town time as well as the time to drive to your reception hall and the 6 hours of non stop music being provided. That's usually a 12 to 13 hour day for me.
In October 2006 I got invited to a wedding reception as a guest and I witnessed a D.J. using, believe it or not....car stereo speakers as his main speakers on the stage as well as a guitar amplifier for sound production. Everything sounded very honky midrange in tone. The guy was using a lap top computer and when he went to play Y.M.C.A. what played was a strictly instrumental version of the song which he stopped playing 1 minute into the song when he noticed no one was singing on the song. Many D.J.'s get into the business thinking it's easy money and they use what ever they have handy equipment wise to book a show. Using their pirated hard drives of MP3 music, inexpensive equipment and no experience in entertaining are good reasons not to hire these beginners that offer their services and cheap prices to entertain your once in a lifetime event. Let them stick with the family birthday parties and hog roasts.
How are these new D.J.s gonna get their learning experience??? They're gonna learn from all the mistakes, if they learn at all, that they'll make at your party that you're paying for. Kinda like getting paid money to go to college!! I don't think you want to pay for there education do you? So be sure to go with an experienced D.J.
In August 2005 I went out to some local bars to check out some other D.J.'s out of curiousity to see how I compared. OMG I couldn't believe some of the things I saw and heard. One guy was running a strobe light during a slow dance song. Yeah, like that's really good for setting a romantic mood. At another club the D.J. was using a lap top computer to D.J. with and home stereo speakers. I guess he was to cheap to even buy the professional programs for using a computer for D.J.'n purposes since he was using the standard wave player. This guy would cut each and every song off seconds before it was over then there'd be a few seconds of dead air while the next song would start. No blending of one song into another, no matching the tempo, NOTHING! You can't do that to a dancing crowd. The problem is that with the advent of the internet and "Stealing" music, everyone now thinks they can D.J. and do it cheap with a computer and their stolen library of songs and some home stereo equipment. I started D.J.'n years before I even had a computer and I spend over $1,000 a year to keep my music library current. So be careful in your choice of D.J.'s!
I am one of the areas few full time professional D.J's! I've been D.J.'n for 16 years and in those years I've personally done almost 400 weddings. Keeping my show the largest around is a full time job and a job I love doing. Since I do this full time that means my ability as a D.J. is always on top. You know how it is when you go on a vacation for a couple of weeks, then come back to work and it takes you a couple of days to get back into the swing of things? Well, you don't want some person D.J.'n your event that doesn't get into the swing of things till after the show is over do ya?? That's why you don't want some part timer weekend hobby D.J. doing your event. There's so much more to being a D.J. then just pressing a play button!!
I've D.J.'d at almost 400 wedding receptions and you can see proof of that by clicking on PAST WEDDINGS buton on top to see the list of the previous couples I've entertained over the years. You very well may know a couple of them yourself.
I won't embarrass your guests by physically going out into the audience and pulling up unwilling people onto the dance floor. Not everyone's a dancer....I'm not....and I wouldn't appreciate that being done to me. I will not be wearing dorky hats...can't believe someone would think that as being entertaining!!
I have an ex wife whose favorite quote was "VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE". While variety in partners isn't good for a marriage - Variety in music definitely is more likely to please all of your guests. My job is to make those important announcements that need to be made and play a variety of music in different styles for people of all ages to enjoy and doing that brings out the dancers on their own to have a great time at your party!!! It works every time!!
