About
Quality, variety and appropriateness. That last one is important. A lot of DJs have music, but don't have age appropriate music. I make sure I am prepared to DJ for all audiences, which includes having clean/radio edits of your favorite songs.
Seeing people enjoy themselves because of the mood I set.

I contacted Mr. Magnum to DJ at my Jamaican/Trini Wedding in Jacksonville, FL. Mr. Magnum was courteous, prompt with his responses, and a pleasure to work with. My guests and I were thrilled with his DJ ability and would definitely use him again. He even worked on my first dance mash up without charging extra. His assistants were also super friendly and courteous during my event. Thank you for everything Barrington!

Eastside High School used Mr. Magnum for our two largest events this school year. Our Homecoming dance in October 2012 lasted 3 hours with approximately 200 people in attendance and was the first experience I'd had with him. He was VERY professional ...much more so than the last DJ we worked with. He arrived at the venue early to set up, returned to the event before the start time, and had the dance floor full of students for the entire night. The kids liked him so much that they requested him by name for prom, so we booked him again. Prom was in April 2013 and Mr. Magnum was again extremely professional and reliable. This time, he had nearly 400 teens on their feet for four full hours! We were so pleased with his professionalism, work-ethic, and prices that we have already asked him to save the date for Prom 2014.
Having had some experience with musicians and similar people in the industry, Mr. Magnum is one of the more dependable people I've worked with. I never had to question whether he would show up on time or bring an unapproved assistant in tow (vendors for public schools must pass a background check). His equipment is unobtrusive in size but sounds incredible, and his feel of the crowd is virtually psychic.
It doesn't get much better than this! Thanks, Mr. Magnum!
