Meet Drew

Raised in Wilmington. Trained on the dance floor.

Drew started out in Wilmington's club and nightlife scene almost 20 years ago. That's where he learned to mix, blend and read a crowd, and it's what sets his events apart today.

We're not just music lovers. We're friendly, easy to work with, and good at guiding the mood of a room so your guests have a night they'll talk about for years.

Lighting included

Dance lighting and special effects come with every package at no extra charge.

An MC who keeps it moving

Wireless mics for toasts and every announcement handled, so nothing gets missed.

Backup on hand

We arrive 1–2 hours early with backup equipment, and we play non-stop with no breaks.

Our dance floor didn't have a single lull and his transitions between songs were like being at your favorite dance club. … He's professional, organized, but knows how to get the dance floor going!

A few weeks before the wedding, Drew also set aside about 2 hours of his time to chat with us about all of our requests and the music details of the day. He also practiced pronouncing the names of our bridal party members which was very thoughtful…

Perfect volume and choices for the ceremony and dinner. And then the party started. We danced all night. Perfect songs for everyone! We had the grandma’s and the kiddos on the dance floor.

Having a great dance party was one of our biggest priorities, and he kept the dance floor packed the whole night with one great song after another! So many of our friends and family commented on how wonderful our DJ was.
