Danamare Productions Mobile DJ & Karaoke

  • DJ
  • Starts at $749
  • Serves Jacksonville, NC

I started DJing back during my college years at Penn State in 1982. In the beginning, I was helping a friend of mine who bought a complete DJ setup from a business who was selling one of their systems. We did frat parties, formals & some of the local State College bars. After college I moved to Binghamton, NY. There I had a six month radio show on a public station. I also worked some of the local bars under the name Sounds Fantastic. Fast forward to January of 2000 we moved to Raleigh,NC to bring our musical experience to the south!

Dan the DJ was professional and very fun to have as a DJ at our wedding. The only thing I would change, since the wedding was moved inside, is to have him sit with the guests during the wedding. He was in most of the pictures since he stood up by his equipment as the wedding party walked in.
