ABOUT ME
It all began when I took my stereo to a house party when I was just 19 years old. I couldn't believe my eyes! People rocked out to the tunes I was playin'. I was hooked!
My name is Joe. I'm the owner and creative behind SJ's Disc Jockey.
I continued playing at parties, which led to spinning in local clubs. Then, weddings began calling. Now that was a whole new thing. Although I was learning my way around a wedding, I was soooooo shy that I just couldn't grab a mic and handle 200 eyeballs staring at me.
I fought my way past that, and now I simply love the art of storytelling. Nothing fulfills me more than collaborating with YOU, learning your history, understanding your vision, then crafting an evening where you marry & celebrate, and through music and storytelling, we make guests laugh, cry, engage + party in a way that they haven't quite done before.

So here's the story...Gabby and Connor (left) asked me to be their officiant for their October 2018 wedding. It was my first, and I jumped at the opportunity! I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous and anxious. Having heard over 3,000 ceremonies over my career, I began to ask myself, how can I make their ceremony consistent with the rest of my brand; personal, fun and meaningful.
I setup a lunch with them and opened up conversation about them as individuals, as a couple, about their families, and anything else that might contribute to my work. I then chatted with them privately, and I got some awesome material! Then, I asked for 10 phones numbers of friends & family. I spoke to them all over the next week, and had everything I needed to craft a ceremony that was like no other their guests had ever heard. There was no, "Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind, or These Are The Hands Of Your Best Friend.' Every word was written from scratch, carefully constructed in a way that would draw guests into the experience, weaving together their unique story along with emotion and some levity, without ever forgetting the significance of the occasion.
That custom experience runs 695.
The result was overwhelming. so much so that I have decided to accept only 10 ceremonies for the each season. Intrigued? Contact me here.

I really feel as if the best way to see if we 'fit' is to open up a chat. The next step would be to potentially Zoom, setup a phone chat or meetup at my Studio, where we can casually share vision, styles, ideas and more.
