Experience
Highlight Weddings & Events is a new company, but I have lots of experience and training in the industry – 6 years and over 70 weddings!
My main focus has always been working with couples to create their unique wedding that will leave them and their guests with great memories. But I also keep my skills sharp DJing at local Destin and 30A-area nightclubs doing what nightclub DJs do best, BRING THE PARTY! I’ve also had the privilege to be a part of some GREAT public and private events. Some of those events include DJ/MCing the University of West Florida’s Dance Marathon and Café Thirty-A’s Christmas Charity Ball, MCing for Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation’s Concerts in the Park, and more!
With a wide experience at different types of events and venues, I’ve learned that no two events are the same – just like the people in attendance! This experience has also taught me the value of being flexible. That flexibility has made me an asset for any event I’m a part of and has allowed me to form great relationships with other wedding and event professionals in the area!
Communication is my Superpower
I’m going to take the time to know your love story. By the time you say “I do,” I’ll have a keen understanding of your personalities as a couple, your likes/dislikes and your special requests – so that I can incorporate all of that into your wedding seamlessly. I’m also going to know what song(s) NOT to play. It doesn’t matter how many times your Aunt Betty requests it. But I don’t just stop there … I will also communicate with your event planner, your venue, and any other important vendors or key players to make sure we are all on the same page. All that’s left for you is just to relax and enjoy your day!
My Style
As a professional DJ, I have an extensive catalog of over 15,000 tracks that covers nearly any era and genre you can think of. I certainly have my own favorites, but I realize when I DJ/MC a wedding it’s not about me. That day is about highlighting the newlywed couple and their guests.
Often when people think of a DJ/MC, they visualize someone who makes the party about the DJ: always yelling on the mic, only playing music they like, and not taking any requests. That’s not my style. A good MC directs a seamless flow of events but plays a secondary role to the guests of honor, their family, and friends. A good DJ has an idea of songs that will fit the night but pays attention to the guests and adjusts their song selections as the night unfolds.
My Favorite Thing About Weddings
It’s totally about you – but I get to be a part of making it magical! I enjoy getting to know each couple personally, finding out what is important to them, and making it happen on their big day – for a unique wedding that leaves guests thinking, “Oh, that was totally them!”
