Company Description

Founded by Justin Henshaw in 2008, what started as a passion for bringing unforgettable music to weddings and events has grown into a trusted name for celebrations across the Eastern United States.
Our team is made up of fun, reliable professionals who care deeply about making each event feel one-of-a-kind.

Role Description
We’re hiring experienced DJ/MCs to join our team in the Cincinnati area. This is a contract role focused almost exclusively on weddings.

- Using your own DJ controller and laptop
- Collaborating with clients on music planning and timelines
- Managing the flow of the event (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, formalities)
- Making clear, confident announcements and keeping the energy up throughout the night
This role is not for beginner DJs or those looking to learn on the job. We’re looking for DJs who are already comfortable mixing live, reading a crowd, and speaking on the mic.

We’re actively recruiting now. New DJs typically complete onboarding and wedding-specific training over July through September, with regular events beginning in October.

- Weddings are seasonal and primarily on Saturdays

- You don’t already DJ events
- You don’t own a DJ controller
- You’re not comfortable working weddings
What You Bring
