CHICAGO SOUND PRODUCER, DJ, MC

The best DJ for Chicago corporate event planners

Planning a corporate event? You can get so much more done when you bring me onboard. I work closely with corporate planners as an all-in-one DJ, host and sound producer to make sure your event is a hit with guests. With over a decade of experience in corporate parties, I cover all your bases — from playlists to mic checks — so you can spend more of your time on the big picture, while I handle the details.

Some of the places we’ve danced the night away

How it all works

My process is designed with one thing in mind: for you to walk into the venue with confidence that your event is going to be a hit! With a series of tight planning calls and access to your own client portal, my goal is to help you bring your event to life in a highly efficient and organized way. 

  • Intro Call

    Book me for an  intro call on Zoom where we can discuss your event, timeline and budget — and how I can plug in to help you make it a success!

  • Proposal

    Ready to move forward? I’ll send over a proposal and contract to get us squared away. No surprises here - proposals are thorough and transparent.

  • Planning

    I’ll book a series of live planning sessions to hammer out your schedule, playlist, scripts, and A/V production requirements. We’ll also collaborate via email and an online portal where you’ll be able to edit and finalize your event details.

    We Party!

    On the day of your event, I’ll be on-site early for setup, sound check and support for your team. When it’s time for the entertainment to begin, you’ll find me at the DJ booth ready to get the party going!
