I hope HMO has added this to Mr. Williams' resume'. BJ is so much more than head coach potential.

At DJ BJ Productions our goal is to make your event something that guests will talk about LONG after the music has stopped,
I can see that happening.

Why do people still hire DJ's? Isn't it much easier to make a playlist and put your iPod on shuffle?

B/c you can pay BJ to set up your playlist for you for just a mere $300 look at the iPod option under pricing! It's a steal!!!!

Keeping the iPod for $50 sold me. BJ - do you do corporate events?

What's your style? More music than talking, more talking than music, a mix. Do you lead the group on group dances - I think this would be a fun thing, i.e. The Twist, The Train, Katy Perry's Peacock dance, Cha Cha, Slide, etc...

Can you take out the explicit language? I mean, some of the best songs have curse words in them and I would like to still have them played - just cleaned up. i.e. - The way i am - eminem, Family Reunion- Blink 182, Roll Call - Lil' John, For Doz That Slept" - Black Sheep, etc...

Sure I'll do corporate events proto

1) I try to do a balance of the two depending on the event...for most Id tend to lean more toward the music because people are going to want to socialize (and use much lighter music for things like wedding receptions because a lot of your older guests arent going to want to hear Skillet and Newsboys, theyll want more Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Tony Bennett, etc.

2) I can start group dances but really once things get rolling Id let the guests own the dance floor

3) Sure I can work to edit out the explicit lyrics, otherwise I would specifically look for a clean version of a song if it has a lot of language or suggestive lyrics in its original form

As of right now no...but that will depend on if a cleaner version isnt available on iTunes for a given song

Wedding Reception: $450
2-4 hours of music and announcements
Unlimited music preparation and consultation
Full music computer (iTunes or comparable)
Unlimited music preparation and consultation? That might be a little bit too much to promise, just saying. What if your doing two weddings in two weeks, how can they both get unlimited amount of time with you?

You think that's a true concern? :lol:


I wonder if I can find 40 people that are willing to pay me $20 to organize their entire music library. That would be $800, I hire BJ and use his "unlimited consultation" to organize it for me. I just made $350.....hmmmm.

Yup, this will work. BJ I'm hiring you for my wedding on July 1, 2015. The consultation will begin next Tuesday (it'll give me a few days to line up some customers for me). Prepare to work.

THat will depend on when the two couples both hired me. if they both hired me the same day or within the same week naturally Id have to work with whatever my schedule is at the time. Basically it means that I can meet with them any number of times to make sure that the music is acceptable for their particular guest demographic. If one had already hired me and then the other hired me say, a month later, it would be easier because I will have already worked out a routine with the first couple and then I can set things up accordingly with them. That may not be the best way to answer your question rueful, but its the only answer I have right now.

Sorry HMO, I cant do that...I need to know that you a) are actually engaged and not just making it up so that you can use me to make money for yourself and b) I have to have a signed contract on file first before I can begin any consultation with a bride and groom to be
