9.7.24 Lindsey + John at Stablegate Lodge! This was my first time at the Lodge! I'm slowly working my way through all the Birch Hill Catering facilities!
After working together for more than a year and a half, we met in person for the first time for our final meeting. They were gracious enough to have me into their home where we talked for hours to make sure everything went perfectly and we packed as much fun as possible into a single wedding reception. It's safe to say we succeeded spectacularly!

8.10.24 Carl + Garth at the Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires!
For Carl and Garth I provided a sound system rental for their rehearsal dinner (including the ability to record the speeches that night), tent lighting for their weekend festivities, a keyboard rental for a friend of theirs to play their ceremony processional, ceremony sound including 3 wireless lav mics and music, and wedding DJ services.
Nothing but the best. The best vendors. The best people. Nothing but the best.

6.29.24 Hannah + Julio at The Lake House Guest Cottages! A little rain was no match for these two. They handled it with grace and they know how to party!
Your venue is only as good as its rain plan and this one has a good one. AND it was Hannah's birthday--29 on the 29th! What greater gift than to marry her favorite person!

6.15.24 Kelsey + Cam at Bloom Meadows! This wedding (even the weather--the only thing out of our control) couldn't have been more perfect. I was continuously thanked at every turn making this one of the most gracious bunches I've worked for.
I left feeling very grateful and reminded how much I love working at Bloom Meadows, and how much I admire the staff there. Back at my desk, I excitedly checked my summer schedule to see when I'd be DJing there next only to discover I won't be back until October. Here's to Kelsey + Cam, to all of their nearest and dearest, to Bloom, and to all the rest of their hardworking vendors!

6.14.24 Berkshire Dream Center's "Night of Dreams" Gala! The Berkshire Dream Center has been providing a multitude of community outreach in the Berkshires since 2011. They "find a need and fill it--find a hurt and heal it." While faith-based, all of the services they provide to the community are provided with no strings attached. They freely love and serve people without asking for anything in return.
What happens when this powerhouse organization run almost entirely by volunteers and donations organizes their first ever fundraising Gala destined to become a new annual effort? Magic! The room fills with the biggest change-makers in the Berkshires coming together to ensure dreams really do come true! Amen!

6.1.24 Amanda + Keven at Union Station! It's been a long time coming for me, but surprisingly this was my first time there. As you'll see, this is a fantastic choice to host your once-in-a-lifetime event. From the pre-event communication through execution, this place has it down in every way, and that's coming from a guy who's been to the finest places in a 50 mile radius.
Keven + Amanda, I'll always remember your wedding day for many reasons, but the most memorable for me were you absolutely nailing your choreographed first dance, and of course you being the ones who brought me to The Roosevelt Room at Union Station for the first time.

Uplighting before and after. Nothing transforms a space better. In fact, uplighting is the foundation for the lighting package I include as standard in every DJ contract. #holidayinnpittsfield #uplighting #beforeandafter #musichrisdj #djchrisplankey #bestoftheberkshires
Yippee! A huge thank you to all the couples I worked for in 2023 who took the time to leave me a review on the Knot! Winners must collect a minimum number of reviews and maintain a high quality average.
If you haven't left your review yet but plan to, it's never (ever) too late. There are a lot of couples doing serious research right now and I know they'd LOVE to hear what you have to say about what it was like to work with me.
