Thanks again - don't know why but everyone ranted and raved about you!! har har!

I was so kindly reminded of the "DJ kiss" and the lovely "janna liberty" photo on the table. Oh why do people bring cameras!! Had a blast.

"Hi Charlie and Cowyn,

We just wanted to write to let you know that we could not have asked for a better DJ!(or DJS Thanks Cowyn).  You 2 did an amazing Job!  No one has been able to stop talking about how many people were on the dance floor and how much fun everyone had.  Let us know if you would have any use for a letter of praise to pass on to new clients - we would be happy to write one.

Thanks again for making our day perfect!

I can not thank you enough. You were a big hit. You did such a good job. The music was great and everyone commented how nice you were and the music you played was the best. To bad no one got up earlier to dance, but when they did it was a blast. So Charlie, I want to thank you again, and let you know that I will be recommending you to every one. And thank you so much for giving me such a good deal. My husband loved you so much, he kept giving you fifty dollar bills. So you know that you were a big hit. Thank you again, I probably couldn't thank you enough. Cheers to you for a good job, your a wonderful guy. I appreciate it so much.

Music Knowledge: Everything.  If there is a form of music he does not know, Charlie picks it up pretty quick.  The strongest genres would include 80's, 90's and Top40.  The weakest point of music would be the newer Hip hop and R&B tracks.

Hi Charlie,
Colin and I were amazed at how great of a job you did thank you so much!
We thought you adding those songs during the speeches was hilarious and really lightened the mood! Very awesome job thank you so so much!!
Robin and Colin June 2010

DJ Characteristics:  Charlie has the whole package.  He is well dressed, very early for setup and has a great vocal command with his audience.  Each event is treated like you have your own personal concierge.  You are greeted at the door and guided through your itinerary.

Thanks for doing such an amazing job with the music at our wedding.  YOU ROCKED!!

Mike and I are still in awe at what a wonderful job you did while DJing our wedding October 24th.  I'm honestly unsure of how things would have turned out without all of your dedication and helpfulness.  Charlie, you really did help make a dream come true!  We will forever be thankful.

Charlie personally DJ'd my wedding on September 28th, 2002 (the Horsup/Phair wedding) and to this day, people who attended still talk about what a great party it was!! Every wedding attended since has unsuccessfully been compared to ours! I attribute it's overwhelming success to the wonderful music service you provided and this is why I've been asked to see if you could quote me for my company party.

" I am glad to tell you that our wedding was awesome.  Charlie was so great, and we all had so much fun.  The music was exactly what we wanted, and lots of our guests commented on how funny he was!  I also have some friends that are getting married soon and they wanted to know where our DJ was from.  Thanks for making our wedding so great!"

If you could go see any concert in the world who would it be?  I  have been to Blue Rodeo recently.  Would like to check out some of the more classic guys before they disappear like Neil Diamond.

 

What would you like to be doing work wise in ten years?  I Love my work now, but, if I had my choice I would have someone run the company for three months (the cold ones) a year and teach English in Latin America.

 

What are your hobbies? Editing music and videos, Martial Arts, Learning Languages, Family

 

 

"  Charlie, I am so glad we switched to your company.  You don't know how happy my wife is, it is unbelievable!  We worried about all of the details up until the day and wondered how it was going to go, but, You put all of our minds at ease. Thanks so much!! "
