This DJ is still out there. Don’t make that mistake!!

Local wedding DJ Ron “Mixmaster” McAllister was left in a state of utter bewilderment last Saturday after discovering that all music did not, in fact, cease to be produced after the year 1998.

“Every song was a banger” is like the best compliment to hear from the groom at the end of the party. So much fun with this crowd last night. Families that love to party make my job so much easier. Congrats to Nicole and Manny Markantone and thank you for trusting me with your big day! See you around the cul de sac!!

Ended with a great one. We partied hard. Overheard a lot of guests saying their feet hurt from dancing the whole night. Made the grooms sweat through their shirts.

Congratulations Jim & Dan and thank you for trusting me with your party!!



(Plenty of dates still open for 2024!!)

The Yezovich clan occupied the dance floor last night…which means it was packed! Great time with some great people!!

Congrats John & Liv and thank you for trusting me with your party. See you in 2025 for the next Yezzy wedding!!

Super pumped to DJ the DiDiano-Yezovich Wedding tonight!! Repping my Wolverine socks to honor the royal family of Woodland Hills!!

And for those in the know, sadly I did not get paid in Yezzy Brownies…

07/10/2023

Totally awesome being aged out by realizing they were in 2nd grade when I subbed in their school district…in 2004😩

This dusty old fart can still rock the party and Lizzie & Rob’s crowd brought that energy!!

Congratulations you two and thank you for trusting me with your party!!

06/10/2023

There’s a giant box of party light sticks next to me…that’s a good omen.

And if the Kline-Reinheimer party is as good as their “must plays”, we’re in for a great night!!

24/09/2023

Man oh man did Taylor and Andrew’s crowd get me hyped up last night! A pop punk banger set to finish an already amazing party had me wired for a long drive home.

Congrats to the Westpys and thank you for trusting me with your party!! Thanks for the Wawa pretzels and Go Birds!!

23/09/2023

Where the Red Fern Parties!! Ok, that was bad…

Way up in St. Mary’s, pumped for some 00s Pop & Pop Punk bangers at the DaCanal-Westpy wedding!! And happy to be DJing another fan’s wedding!!

I was already pumped for the Davis-Thames wedding, then I found out the groom is an Eagles fan!! Let’s GOOOO!!

07/08/2023

Finally got around to adding a review/testimonial page to my website. If I've DJed for you (wedding, private/corporate event, fight, etc) or even if you've just been to an event I've played, I'd appreciate the feedback. Thank you all so much!!

Read what former clients and those who have seen me perform have to say!!

06/08/2023

When the newlyweds stay on the dancefloor the whole night, it’s gonna be a good party (and when the groom has to be told to put his dress shirt back on)!!

Congratulations Trent & Sidney and thank you for trusting me with your party!!

05/08/2023

Up on the maaahhhntn to rock the Grimm-Livingston wedding!!

When I say the floor shook last night, the floor SHOOK. Angie & Dan’s friends and family brought that high energy all night long!!

Wishing you kids nothing but a lifetime of happiness. Thank you for not making me feel old with your music choices and for trusting a neighbor with your party!!

Saturday’s wedding celebrating Mr & Mrs Alm. Great couple. Great crowd. Great playlist. Great party.

Love getting the opportunity to play for people I know (even if they were former students who now make me feel old AF). Makes a DJ feel really good knowing I was able to out-play the beautiful weather outside and keep people on the dance floor.

Congrats to Ryan & Kelsie and thank you for trusting me with your party!!

13/05/2023

Ryan & Kelsie’s wedding is ready to pop off!! And yes, that was an attempted winery pun…I’m a dad after all. A great playlist on tap and some Woody High alum in the house should make for a great night!!

30/04/2023

I always say a small crowd doesn’t mean a small party. Brian & Andrea’s friends and family held true to that. Loved playing outside my comfort zone with a lot of 80’s rock. And props to the pre-teen dance crew who lit up the floor all night!!

29/04/2023

Quaint venue for what should be a fun night with the Basham-Petruso wedding crew!!

A very poignant article written by the man who not only taught me how to DJ, but also rocked my own wedding!!

Great information for couples on selecting their wedding DJ.

Who’s the BEST when everyone is? Are there 50 BEST DJs? According to some sites, there are. How major wedding websites work and who to trust Blog Post by DJ Underdog I’ve been doing this a long time. A lot of things have changed, but one of the things that has stayed the same is wha
