A wedding experience built around you.

Every wedding I DJ is shaped by your taste, your priorities, and the kind of energy you want in the room. Music should move naturally with the night from the ceremony to , responding to the moment instead of following a rigid script.

I’m there to guide the flow, handle announcements, and help guests feel comfortable and included. Nothing feels rushed or forced. The night unfolds smoothly, and the dance floor stays alive because the timing is right.

Behind the scenes, I work closely with your planner and venue so you never have to wonder what’s coming next. You get to relax, stay present, and enjoy the night you planned.

Stephen was so great to work with for our wedding. From our first call, we knew he was dedicated to our vision and incredibly flexible throughout the process. He created dinner and cocktail hour playlists we absolutely loved, and multiple guests commented on how much they were enjoying the music. Even with a smaller wedding, he did an amazing job reading the room and keeping people on the dance floor. As a queer couple looking for a DJ who could set a tone of celebration and joy, working with Stephen was truly a gift. We would absolutely recommend him.
