Contacting Cardinal was very easy and he reached out to me quickly. He asked lots of questions about the event. He was quick to send a W-9 and quote. He arrived on time and keep the youth moving. More...

Cardinal Entertainment was an absolute blessing for our wedding. Rod was stellar at ensuring the focus was on bride and groom, the energy was kept up and positive, and that everything went smoothly. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a professional, kind, and authentic officiant and DJ. Thanks Rod!! More...

What a great guy! He took all of my friends requests and waited to play the inappropriate music until after the older folks left. He worked with our photographer and did a great job following the timeline. He was also our officiant! I would recommend him and give him 5 stars!! More...

Rod was awesome! We had a slight delay due to things out of our control and he did a great job at keeping the guests comfortable and entertained prior to the ceremony starting. As the bride, he did a wonderful job at making our night go flawlessly. He also took song suggestions last minute from everyone, as the vibe shifted throughout the evening. He played a huge role in our evening, and we are so grateful that he made our night so special. More...

Fantastic job! Never once questioned our music requests. Excellent timing know when to work the crowd and when to keep the music flowing. Kudos to you for not flinching when the groom wanted to hijack the Mic! Thank you so much! More...

Unbelievable how Rodney was able to keep 60 kids (15-16 year olds) entertained for 4 hours. He was awesome and very professional. Can't wait for my next event! Thank you! Classy! More...

The DJ worked at the Boys & Girls Club annual fundraising event in April 2016 and did a fantastic job! Fun and professional. We would definitely hire him again. We had a diverse crowd of 250 people who enjoyed the music he played. More...

Rodney is great. He can have almost all types of music. Just ask. If he doesn't have it, he will get it. Give him a try.

Rodney did an amazing job at my wedding! Working with him was a breeze from start to finish! We thought we ready when we first met Rodney but we were wrong. He had questions we didn't even plan to have music for but he worked with us that same day. He din't rush us or make us feel any type of way. He was there for us. He helped come up with ideas to make our special day special and memorable, and it was. When it came down to the Big Day it literally like nothing we imagine! everything was perfect! our family and friends had an amazing time! Living in Indiana it was hard to find a DJ that can mix it up from Hip Hop(from the 90's to the ones played now), Oldies, House, and even Spanish but DJ Rodney made it happen! I would definitely recommend DJ Rodney to anyone for any event! More...

We must thank Rodney and his crew for their effort and patience. They were fast in response to all our requests. Rodney made our crazy music selection happen. We loved the pull tab game and the intimate lighting on the dance floor too! I definitely would recommend! More...

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
Playing popular music from multiple genres. We want everyone to have a good time.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
When I get asked this question, I ask it back. What we do is a direct reflection of you and your guests. Yes, we have a few pre-made playlists, but we are more about what you and your guests want to hear. We take lots of suggestions early in the planning but sometimes the vibe of the night will change due to what you and your guests are reacting to as well as what requests come in. What is our style? What do you want it to be?
What do you love most about your job?
Watching people. They dance, they sing, they laugh, they make a crazy face when they hear certain songs. Its watching adults forget about being an adult.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started to DJ parties in college. I was a broadcasting student that was involved with campus activities. The school's radio station would DJ all the campus activities and then we would be asked to DJ off campus activities. This was what we used to fundraise for the broadcasting department. I loved doing it and decided that it would be an excellent way to make some extra money.
Why should our clients choose you?
Our reviews speak for themselves. We are great with music, including requests. We are great with people. We are a professional service. We do more than play music. We help with planning. We like too have fun too.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
They only services I have online is payment, planning, and the ability to take requests.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Mostly just the online activities I already mentioned. However, if I'm sick, there is a back up plan in place to make sure I dont spread it. Its either I send a DJ that I consider a friend and equal, or I send my son, Bryce. He has DJ with me for more than years and is a music production student. Je does very well when I let him take over the booth when I need a break or get out of the booth to emcee.
