We always strive to do our very best at every event we do. and while a full dance floor and lots of smiling faces are a pretty solid review, we love when people take the time to write an actual review. You can read all of our reviews on our Wedding Wire page, on our Knot page or on Google. Here are a few recent reviews: I recently got married on February 17th, 2018 and everything was terrific. DJ Rob really helped bring the event together from not only coordinating a great va

It was very early in my life that I realized I was a nerd. With that fact now being established you can understand why I say music is much like the force. In George Lucas’ Star Wars movies the force is an ancient power that connects everything in the universe. It flows through all living things and can be used by a force wielder to affect your actions, thoughts, and life. One of the more famous groups of force wielders are the Jedi. A Jedi Knight practices his art for many ye

Don’t be a line dance snob. We all know them; the ones saying things like “Line dances are for amateurs,” “Real men don’t line dance” and so forth. At some point, we became so caught up in looking cool (and appearing less than perfect on camera phone videos) that we decided to forego maximum fun for a watered down version. Some of us decided that “The Electric Slide” was for old people, that “The Cupid Shuffle” was lame and that the “Wobble” was an inferior opt in for the les

Rob sat down with me the other day, here are some highlights from our conversation. Chris: How long have you been DJing? Rob: 15 yrs! I started in college as an asst. DJ (I guess you would call it that) with Ken Berger (DJ Kenny B). I was doing an internship w/ a company he worked for and he asked me if I wanted to work with him on some DJ gigs and learn the trade. Like most college kids, it seemed like a cool way to make some cash and have fun. I had no idea I was learning s

Working for the public has played a significant role in helping me with my clients. I truly believe that it has helped shape me to be flexible, reliable and fun! I have worked in many different capacities and have utilized the different skills to make my events the best that they can be. A little background… I started off working for the City of Suffolk during the summers while in high school. I learned about the different functions of the various departments and how

I’m LaDel The DJ, Virginia’s own and a member of the Music Makes You Happy crew who came aboard at an almost perfect time personally. Having attended college with founder and owner Chris and several of the team DJs, I was reaching the point where I was truly ready to jump after years of being prodded by friends and associates. Prior to that, I sort of suppressed the desire to start my journey as a DJ because, while I was being asked to play music for events often, I was stil

With shifting into the music streaming era and the advancement of technology by way of snazzy devices of all kinds, you may have been trying to convince yourself that you don’t need a DJ for your next function. WRONG! Let me give you a few reasons why. 5. It just looks cooler! You’ve got the color-coordinated décor throughout your party space with the banner hanging perfectly straight.

A quick note before we start. Like I said in the previous blog post, we are going to treat our blog and social media pages as a way to get to know all of our DJ's. Today, Tyler takes over the blog with a quick look back at some of his highlights of 2017. - Chris With the slow season approaching I wanted to take some time to reflect on the past year and the grounding that it has given all of us. To some, 2017 could be seen as a stressful year with all of the public events an
