Thank you, Carrie, for your wonderful review. I had just as much fun as all of you did. I had a great time watching, sharing some laughs & interacting with everyone. I felt a strong connection to all of you the entire night. Received a lot of compliments on the way out. To Mr. & Mrs. Currence.

Hank was a spectacular DJ for our wedding. He helped ensure both our ceremony and reception went perfectly and he was a great crowd pleaser. We really enjoyed working with him leading up to the wedding, as Hank was prompt in his responses but also very helpful in meeting our needs.

Hank was amazing to work with from the first time we reached out to him regarding my daughter's wedding. He replied promptly, was very professional and courteous in his interactions. He offered a wealth of information about timeline and the different aspects of the ceremony and reception to help us prepare as well as to help him have all the pertinent information he needed. He arrived early to set up and was calm and reassuring even though I had a lot to juggle that day! Our venue location was outdoors and very rustic, which added extra steps for Hank and his assistant Sharon, but they had great attitudes and didn't complain! They were kind-hearted, enthusiastic, friendly, easy-going and fun. Hank had a very dapper outfit that he put on just before the guests arrived! Hank kept things moving along throughout the evening. He kept the guests informed and entertained. The dance floor was full the entire evening. Sharon even handed out glow wands to increase the fun! As a last minute request he played one final slow dace for the bride and groom while the rest of us prepared the sparklers for the send off. Then he hyped everyone up while the newlyweds made their grand exit! The whole evening was full of fun and memories and Hank helped all of it to come together for an amazing celebration! We can't thank him enough! More...

Hank was such a pleasure to work with. We hired Hank for my daughter's wedding back in 2017 and we loved him so much, we hired him again for our wedding this year. He played such a great variety of music and really gets into having fun with everyone especially the kids. My Family and friends are still talking about how much fun he was.

Thank you so much Linda for your review. I really enjoyed this event. This was my first French themed event & it was very memorable for me. It was a lot of fun ringing in the New Year with you all. I enjoyed calling the Simone Dit game. The best French accent contest was a lot of fun. The Can Can dancing event was fun to watch. We had a crowded dance floor & some great dancers out there. I hope our paths cross again & that I have another opportunity for an event with the Winfield Community in the future. Blessings for a wonderful 2023.

Hank is absolutely the very BEST DJ anyone could ever hope for!! From the first time we talked, he was enthusiastic, knowledgable, informative & very professional about handling our wedding & reception. Early on, Hank provided great guidelines & ideas about the wedding schedule & provided amazing lists of songs that we might use. During the months leading up to our wedding, he was always available to answer questions, provide support & give guidance. Hank has the most amazing & upbeat personality, which allowed our guests to have a fabulously, fun & memorable time. He worked so well with our caterer, bartender & photographer!!

I hosted a couples bridal shower for my niece, with a special theme “Tacos and Tequila”…..including an adorable beer burro named Manly and a few wild uncles from Kansas City. The shower really turned out to be more of a mini-wedding because of Hank! He frequently communicated before the event, was on-time, and professional. He definitely “got the party started”, played EVERY SONG REQUESTED (my neighbors did ok 😂)…lights, sound, microphones, and all, were perfect. Hank did everything at request and on the fly since I really didn’t have an exact flow of how the event would go. EVERYONE was dancing and having a great time—-especially the uncles! EVERYONE had commented that “our DJ” was the best and truly “made” the party. Our final song for the night “Kansas City Here We Come” made it special for my niece! Forget your outdoor TV and sound bar for your party, it doesn’t compare….HIRE HANK…you will not regret it!!! From one veteran to another—-THANK-YOU Hank! More...

Hank was absolutely amazing for our 60 guest wedding in downtown Chandler. Not only did he keep things on track day of (first dance, shoe game, cake cutting etc) but also kept the communication going from the day we booked. Planning a wedding is stressful and Hank was definitely one of the reasons the stress melted away!! He was so organized and most importantly FUN!

Where do I start? I reached out to Hank in September he was prompt and quick to respond. Within minutes of communicating with him, I knew he would be the perfect professional. Hank went above and beyond. I had a major surgery he would just check on me, sweetest thing ever. Any questions I had, Hank was right there to answer them.
He suggested the shoe game, I had never heard of it but let me tell you it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it and it was a ton of fun. Our families really enjoyed the Anniversary dance.
Hank is the sweetest person I have come to know through this process, he took control of the day and exceeded our expectations. Our guests had a blast dancing and speaking with Hank getting to know him.
I WILL recommend Hank to everyone, he is the BEST, sweetest professional with the kindest heart and personal touch to make you feel like you have been long time friends.
Thank you so much Hank for making our day so special.

Can I give a 10-star rating?? I would if I could. I can not even begin to say how awesome Hank is. My Fiancé found him by chance back in January and we knew right away we wanted him for our wedding October 16, 2021.

What made me the most confident was, besides the fact that he’s from the Chicagoland area, but the fact that he’s been doing this for over 30 years and is right in our age group. I KNEW HE WOULD JUST GET IT. I didn’t want some young kid spinning/mixing a bunch of crap I’ve never heard of before. I wanted some good ole 80’s hair band music mixed in with traditional, and whatever else I or my guests wanted on request.

Where to begin with Hank, the man. Let me tell you, first, he is SO professional that when we hired him, he sent us all the detailed documents that would outline our event (timeline, toasts, song choices, traditions we wanted, etc) so he’d be on top of the whole thing. He set up plenty early and even changed into a tuxedo for the event. I’m guessing from pictures I have seen that he dresses the part to match the occasion he’s participating in. He was a host I could rely on ALL NIGHT which I did. Every time I needed something, he was right there for me helping me resolve and put out any potential “panic” a bride might “think” she’s experiencing. His experience enabled him to gauge the group and know just the right songs to play and when. He was easy to communicate with and very responsive in the planning phases.

When I finally met Hank on my actual wedding day, I felt like I’d known him forever. He is so friendly and familiar. He was my angel all night. A DJ can ABSOLUTELY make or break a wedding celebration and without a doubt, Hank made mine perfect. Friends and I are STILL talking 3 weeks later about how great the party was because of Hank and the great music. I’d say about 99% of the guests stayed til the very end b/c it was just that fun.

I was sorry the reception ended and my “relationship” with this wonderful guy was over. A bunch of us want to throw a random party JUST SO WE CAN HIRE HIM AGAIN.

He played all my song choices and had everything my guests requested at random. I can not recommend ENOUGH this fantastic and professional, friendly DJ for any celebration you are planning.

Thank you HANK! We already miss you! One of my friends is thinking her retirement party next summer. . . :)

Hank was amazing from the very start. He contacted us in a very professional and knowelodgeable manner immediately after we did the search looking for a DJ for Lou's 60th Birthday Party. The party theme was 1960s Rat Pack/Mad Men. We found out that he was a fan of the era and the music we were looking for. So we were very excited to have him. He was very willing to work with us in planning the party as well as the timing and the flow of the music and activities. Also, he was willing to play different types of music, if that was what we wanted. The day of the party Hank showed up prior to the start of the party to set up his equipment. Also, his attire was impeccable and more than suited for the theme of the party. Dean Martin would have been very proud of Hank's classy appearance. During the party, the music was outstanding and Hank's interaction with the guest was friendly, helpful and professional. The party was on June 12th, so obviously it was hot, but throught it all Hank had a great attitude, always smiling and making sure everybody enjoyed themselves. Many of my guests complimented us on the music and Hank himself. No doubt I would choose him again and again. I higly recomend him !!!!! HE IS THE BEST!!!!!
Many thanks to Hank!!!!

Thank you Lou & Carina for your wonderful review. I am truly humbled by your kind words. What a wonderful event this was! I love the Rat Pack & Dean Martin! This was right up my alley without a doubt. This was so much fun. The collection of 60's items was incredible! Carina spent months finding these items on FB Marketplace & OfferUp. I was impressed & let her know what a fantastic party she planned & hosted. Almost everyone who stopped up at my table really liked my Dean Martin animated singing & moving doll, wanted to know where I got it & took a picture with it. A party that was supposed to end at 11 PM ended at 2 AM! A memorable night without a doubt! Thank you for hiring me for this event. One of my top 5 favorite events in all the years I've been doing this!

Working with Hank was amazing!! From the very beginning, he was reliable, organized, and professional. He was an excellent MC and worked with us to make sure every part of the wedding reception was perfect, from entrance to take-off! Not only did he provide excellent DJ and MC services, he was a huge part of making the wedding day the most magical day ever. The day of our May wedding brought 105+ heat, a dust storm, and a sudden monsoon, but Hank was stalwart through all the weather troubles. After the rain stopped, we went outside and had the best dance party I could have imagined. Every single one of my guests had an amazing time. Hank kept the party going even when everything felt like it was going to be a disaster, and it turned out to be the best night ever. Thanks, Hank!! More...

Hank was a super kind man, who took everything we brought him into consideration. He handled all of our requests with excellence and was a joy to work with! He desires to be as involved as you wish him to be and was just the type of personality we were hoping for in a DJ. He warmed up those in attendance well and kept them engaged with jokes, and games! He was also crucial to how our wedding ran on a timeline and was so great at directing those who attended on what was next for the night. The dance floor was SO FUN! Hank came through was a great order of dance and party songs for the group to go nuts to. He did a great job overall and we would recommend him to anyone! More...

Thank you so much Alicia for wonderful review. I enjoyed working with you. You & Dustin make a wonderful couple. Your friends & families were certainly ready to celebrate a wonderful & blessed Wedding Day for you both. I met many of them at the DJ table. They provided me with a lot of song requests which I was more than happy to play. I wish you & Dustin all the best that your new lives as Man & Wife have to offer. God Bless.

Q&As

My music list is very extensive. I have tens of thousands of songs in my collection & counting. I've got whatever music you need for your event. You need a customized play list? Not a problem. I take requests so if you, your family, or your guests are looking for a song you will never hear from me "Sorry, I don't have that song". If it's not in my collection I can download it from the Internet & have it ready within seconds. I don't complicate things. I make it easy for my customers.

I'm a traditional & professional DJ. No gimmicks. I entertain but I don't 'steal the show'. The night of your event is about you, your families & your guests. It's not about me. I play music the way it was meant to be played & I play the music you want to hear.

Meeting & interacting with different people. Watching people dance to the music that is being played. Taking song requests & also playing a wide variety of music.

In my teenage years I wanted to get into broadcasting. When that didn't pan out, I went into the Air Force. While I was there, I started to DJ in a local bar in Austin, TX in 1981. When I got out of the Air Force, I worked for 2 DJ companies & learned quite a bit & from there began my own DJ business in 1991.

Because I am a DJ that has good values, has been in the business for over 40 years, treats you with respect, listens to your needs, works with you EVERY step of the way of your event & most importantly I offer terrific value at one LOW rate!

No, I cannot provide my services online or remotely

If required by my customers, I will wear a mask. I also bring hand sanitizer with me.
