Best Wedding, Ever, Starts Here.
I truly believe that no two weddings are alike. Your choice of venue, your vision for the day, and the vendors you team up with are all important decisions that require careful consideration to ensure everything comes together just right.
Whether you’re dreaming of a simple and elegant affair or a lively, all-night celebration, I’m here to help you create your own “Best Wedding, Ever” experience.
Please take a moment to review the process my clients follow below and the services I offer. If you feel a connection, check my calendar to see if your wedding date is available. If it is, let’s schedule a virtual meeting so I can better understand your vision for the big day. By the end of our conversation, I’ll provide you with a tailored recommendation for your wedding’s entertainment that’s sure to exceed your expectations.
When it came to the actual wedding, wow. Tony rocked it. I’ve also never heard so many people talk about how much they loved the DJ. His playlist was exactly what
We had in mind.
You could tell he put so much thought and effort into our big day. Our friends and family didn’t want the night to end!

Process
Five Months: Check-In & Get Started
About five months before the wedding day, I’ll send you an email to kick off my signature Entertainment Planning & Design process. Over the following two months, you will have some fun homework to do. However, I promise you will find inspiration in my tried-and-true Presentation Ideas, and filling out my Planning Forms will be a breeze.
Oh, and the best part? You can do it all online in my exclusive Client Area.
Four Months: Site Visit
At your option, we’ll meet at your wedding venue for a site visit. A site visit ensures I’m fully prepared to create an entertainment experience tailored to your venue and your preferences.
During our visit, we’ll tour the venue to assess the layout, discuss any logistical details or special considerations, and talk about any presentation ideas you have in mind. Plus, this visit helps us avoid any last-minute surprises on the big day, as we will confirm all technical requirements such as power outlets and setup locations.
And if you’re interested, we can also chat about adding some extra flair to your celebration with stunning production options like uplighting, photo booths, and the like.
Three Months: Planning Meeting
Your wedding is just three months away, so it is time to start thinking about how you want to present your ceremony and reception to your family and friends. After submitting your Planning Forms, we’ll schedule a virtual meeting where we’ll carefully go over all the details of your wedding.
Together, we’ll create your Entertainment & Production Script, ensuring every moment is personalized and memorable.
It’s more than just choosing songs and names; it’s about creating unique and memorable moments for each milestone event.
Two Months: Production & Set Design Planning
Wondering what’s in store for you and your guests at your wedding in two months? We’ll dive into all the production details during our Production & Set Design Planning meeting. We’ll discuss everything from which of my DJ booths to bring out to the dance floor lighting effects used. Plus, we’ll figure out how to make the most of any Event Enhancements you’ve chosen.
By collaborating on the design of my setup and all the production elements, we’ll create an entertainment experience that fits seamlessly with your wedding’s vision, decor, and venue.
Let your imagination run wild and dream big for your once-in-a-lifetime celebration! There are no limits here, so get ready to make your wedding day truly unforgettable.
One Month: Final Confirmation
We’re getting close! With about one month left until your big day, it’s time to review the Entertainment & Production Script one last time to ensure every detail has been accounted for. This quick phone call acts as our dress rehearsal, giving us the final boost of confidence that everything will be just as you’ve envisioned for your special day.
Wedding Day: Let's Celebrate
It’s finally here – your wedding day! By now, every little detail has been taken care of, from finalizing the Entertainment & Production Script to prepping all the production elements, including your special songs and any Event Enhancements you’ve selected. So take a deep breath, pop some champagne, and soak in every moment of your celebration with your loved ones by your side.
Trust me – the day will fly by, but rest assured, I’ll be there every step of the way, making sure everything runs smoothly. So go ahead, enjoy every second, and dance the night away! Let’s make this party one to remember!

Travel & Destination Weddings
Planning a destination wedding? Count me in! I firmly believe that the key to an unforgettable wedding reception, no matter where it takes place in the world, is ensuring maximum comfort and enjoyment for your guests. Whether they’re traveling far distances or taking time off work, it’s crucial that attending your destination wedding reception is worth every moment and expense, both on the night itself and for years to come.
While you could take a chance with a local MC & DJ recommended by your destination venue, I offer a few distinct advantages for couples aiming to host the ultimate destination wedding experience:
I speak your native language.
I will understand your vision and can accommodate both American and local customs into your wedding experience.
I will work and communicates directly with your vendor team.
I will accommodate and understand your musical preferences (especially for weddings hosted internationally).
I will advocate for you, protecting the investments you are making for your celebration.
I have experience as a professional traveling wedding MC & DJ.
Travel & Destination Wedding Services Include:
CEREMONY & RECEPTION
My signature Ceremony & Reception services will be custom-tailored to suit your destination venue, wedding vision, and style perfectly.
CEREMONY DRESS REHEARSAL
If you’d like, I can lead your ceremony dress rehearsal, which includes coaching wedding party members on how to look their best for the ceremony.
WELCOME DINNER HOST & MUSIC
If you’d like, I’m happy to host and provide music for your welcome dinner.
You can count on my signature style for introducing rehearsal dinner speakers, along with a lively playlist tailored to match the vibe and setting of your venue.
RENT SOUND & LIGHTING EQUIPMENT
As the owner of an audio/visual rental company, PLAY Event Rentals, I’ll arrange to rent DJ equipment from a local, reputable provider.
In the rare event that local sourcing isn’t possible, we’ll arrange for the equipment to be shipped in.
GROUND TRANSPORTATION
I will handle the coordination of my ground transportation to and from your destination wedding location.
AIRFARE & BAGGAGE FEES
I will handle the coordination of my flights to and from your destination wedding location.
HOTEL ACCOMODATION
Due to the nature of my schedule, I’ll handle booking and arranging my hotel accommodation.
Note: National weddings require three-day, two-night stays. International weddings require five-day, four-night stays.
TRAVEL DETAILS
Home Airport: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
Preferred Airline Partner: Alaska Airlines or Delta Airlines
Preferred Hotel Partner: Marriott
MEAL PER DIEM
Because I follow a specific diet (Keto Carnivore) during the wedding season, I’ll handle my meals. The per diem rates per day will vary based on your destination wedding location.
ADDITIONAL STAFF
If the scope of production necessitates it, I’ll organize travel accommodations for one of my production crew members to assist me in the execution of your wedding celebration.
Tony made our wedding the best night of our lives. Having a small wedding in Palm Desert, I worried about having an empty dance floor and no flow. That wasn’t the case at all. Every single guest was out dancing all night and we still get compliments from our guests two and a half years later on how awesome he was. Being a wedding photographer myself, Tony is the only DJ I would ever recommend. He has a
Gift for Music
And people, and I am blessed to know him and his talent. I have met so many DJs over my career, and there is no one like Tony. By far the best!
