National DJ Day

Winston Gaines • January 19, 2019

Ladies and gentlemen, today is National DJ Day!


We definitely think it’s a day worth celebrating. First things first, a huge shout out to all of the phenomenal DJs around the country making music and memories for crowds of all sizes, backgrounds, and musical tastes. And, of course, shout out to the listeners, the audiences, and the fans who make what we do so special.


The profession of DJing has evolved with the times, and here in the vibrant and fast-paced year of 2019, it has never been a better time to be in the business. People have access to so much music now! Musical tastes have expanded into a variety of genres, and that translates into what they want to hear at Weddings, events, and parties of all kinds. Gone are the days of ‘Country-Only’ Weddings. Guests want a good time with an array of music to get down to…and we love it!


What really makes it all worth while, though…we get to be a part of once-in-a-lifetime moments on a weekly basis. That’s really crazy when you think about it! The perfect first dance between a newly married couple, the emotional father-daughter dance at a young woman’s Quinceñera, the last dance at a Senior Prom. We’re there for the small moments that become lifelong memories. We not only witness them, we are a part of making them reality. Once I wrapped my mind around that concept, it all changed for me. I appreciate the opportunities more, I laugh a lot more, and I dance a lot more in the DJ booth 😊


Once again, Happy National DJ Day to all! Send love to the DJs you know. We’ll be here ready to make music and memories with you all.

Planning an event at The Dominion Country Club? There’s one critical detail most people overlook. Audio coverage. This venue is elegant, private, and beautifully designed, but it’s also highly segmented. Multiple rooms, transitions between spaces, and separated guest areas mean one sound system simply won’t cut it. If your audio isn’t designed for the layout, parts of your event will feel disconnected.
