While our prices are comparable to a traditional DJ, we believe we provide a much greater value for your investment.

Indoor or outdoors, we have you covered. If you're looking for professional Audio Video services for the ceremony. We provide it all - live or recorded music, wireless or lapel microphones and even portable generators for remote power.
