Not getting married? We also do special events, private parties, proms and school dances, and whatever else you're looking to turn into a party.
1. Coordinate and plan your party along with you so you don't have to worry about anything the night of the event, and;
2. Pack up your dance floor beyond capacity
We also offer: uplighting, photo booth, custom lighting production (if you want your wedding to look like Coachella, we can do that), ceremony sound, live musicians, and several other options depending on your goals and your budget. The sky's the limit, but everything you need for an awesome wedding is in our standard reception packages.
Contact us now for more info.
You’ve heard it a million times: “your wedding day, is one of the most important days of your life;” however, it’s so important to us that we’ve named the company after starting the first day of your lives together: Day One. Straight, gay, purple, or pink, I want to celebrate right along with you and make your night as memorable and flawless as it deserves to be.
The corporate world is my day-to-day livelihood. My 9-5 experience in business-to-business sales has introduced me to some fascinating companies and even more fascinating people. The stuffy/uptight stigma that surrounds the business community couldn’t be further from the truth. Like all events, coordination and entertainment are the core of success in all Day One DJ services.
Constantly staying up-to-date with what’s hot in the music scene (a.k.a. “what the kids are listening to”), is paramount to the success of all of Day One DJ events. While it may make me feel old at my ripe age of 29, the energy quickly slingshots me back to gymnasium dance floors and I need to be slapped back into reality when the lights come back up at the end of the night.
If you don’t know about uplighting, you should. I’ve never found anything that transforms a room nearly as much as uplighting. It turns any ordinary room into an atmosphere of elegance and class.
Running, cycling, group workout events, and everything in between—music is the best motivation and reward to keep the participants’ adrenaline pumping and the spectators entertained and primed for encouragement. MC and PA system capabilities are also available.
If it’s a party, I’m in. Even if it’s not a party and you’re just looking for an ambient soundscape with some soft mood-lighting, I’m in. If you’re curious, just ask. I’m always open to new experiences, events, and people.
I am not one to leave reviews, however, our experience is noteworthy. Joe is above and beyond professional- from the initial meeting all the way to the end of our wedding. How doesn’t just listen, he hears your requests and utilizes his expertise to enhance your experience. My wife and I received countless compliments on “our DJ” and Joe knew just how to get everyone back on the dance floor when people hit a wall- second wind… Even my grandma got hers! If you’re looking for a DJ, look no further! In my opinion, no one goes more above and beyond to enhance the customer experience than Joe. My wife and I are forever grateful for him making our special day one that all will never forget!Bryan - Wedding
If you’re at all in doubt about booking Joe for your wedding, DO IT. My husband and I have been to multiple weddings with Joe as the DJ, and the dance floor has been packed at every one. In fact, a huge driving force in our booking Day One DJ for our wedding was the fact that we had such a blast with him at the other weddings we attended.CarlyWe gave him virtually no direction on what to play during the dancing portion of the night, and he was still able to read the crowd, giving them exactly what they needed to stay on the dance floor the entire evening. In fact, my dad sent me a picture of everyone dancing that I assumed was from the beginning of the night–the dance floor was packed. The time stamp on his phone? 11:57 pm. If that’s not an endorsement of Joe’s DJ skills, I don’t know what is.
I also appreciated that Joe ran the dinner portion of our reception with speeches, and he ensured that the pace of the night stayed on track. He noticed when folks were getting antsy, and he moved us right along to the next part of the evening. We love Joe! Now we just need someone else to get married so that we can reunite for another dance party.
Day One DJ made our wedding reception! We chose them based on being a preferred vendor by our venue, and upon my initial call to the company I found out Joe (owner) was unavailable on our date. He recommended one of his employees, Guthrie, after telling him a bit about our wedding and us as a couple. Hesitant at first, I decided to move forward with Guthrie knowing the rave reviews Day One had received online & from my venue.Amy - WeddingWe were NOT disappointed! Not only was Guthrie extremely available to us (offering his cell to text/call leading up to the day of the wedding), but he had an amazing attitude every time we spoke. We have continued to get compliments on ‘our DJ’ at our wedding every time we speak to a guest. They were also awesome at communication- keeping me on track throughout the planning process w/a check-in at 6 months, 3 months, and monthly to weekly after that. Super impressed with the service received and the fun provided by Guthrie & Day One DJ.
The best decision you’ll make on wedding day is hiring Joe to handle the DJ responsibilities. He is courteous, professional, energetic and passionate. The dance floor was PACKED all night and we received so many compliments about the job he did. If you’re looking at another vendor, stop, because not hiring Joe will be a massive mistake. We couldn’t be happier.Dennis
Joe was by far our best wedding vendor. He is extremely personable and always checks in to make sure you are on the right track to planning your perfect day. He is a wedding expert and we are so happy we chose him to be part of our big day. Would recommend 100%.Abby
