ABOUT: James DeGroff is a full service DJ offering Karaoke, Sound Systems, Light Shows, and Interaction for any event.

I realize that your dance is a very special occasion.  That is why I listen to you, and work with you, to make sure you get the dance of your dreams.  I've been serving the Olympia, black lighting james degroff 5Tacoma, Aberdeen, Ocean Shores and Seattle areas, as well as all of Western Washington since 1996. Here is just some of what you get when you hire me:

Experience:  I have worked hundreds if not thousands of parties and developed the skills and flair that guests love. This is my profession, not a hobby or part-time job.

 

Excellence:  I take my profession seriously. I am committed to finding new and better ways to entertain. Plus you always get entertainment done the way you like it, because I listen to you.  My attention to detail is the key to my success, and the success of your event.

Customer Service: With customer service second to none, your event will turn out just as you have always dreamed.

Interaction:  With an interactive DJ, you not only get all of your favorite music, but you get a DJ who can lead/teach various dances and games, as well as a DJ who can "read" the crowd and will vary the program accordingly.

Energy:  My shows are packed with energy and excitement. Your guests will feel it.  I know how to get your guests out of their seats, and onto the dance floor.

Equipment:  Mine is state of the art, the best around. Back-up equipment and DJ's are always available in case of an emergency.

Music:  I have thousands of CD's and tens of thousand of songs digitally recorded for all ages and tastes.

Additional comments or suggestions?

Somehow ther was a slip up in the time schedule, announced dinner 15 minutes early but our great caterer made it happen anyway.
 
JAMES DEGROFF RESPONSE: As far as the catering being announced early, I checked with them, and they said they were ready. I never announce that dinner is ready until I check with them, and yes, they did say they were ready early, so I announced it.
