The Following are a Bunch of Media/Reviews from Present to DJ Waldo's Early Years:
Its not everyday that I get asked to handle the audio needs at 2 different venues where I have to have 2 different setups deployed simultainiously but it does happen from time to time and while yes it's a feat all in itself to execute logistically I've got the gear to handle it with, come well prepared for the task, and have always made it happen.
This case with Pam and Dan was no different either--we spent several months planning all of the moving parts of their wedding down to even the smallest details but as you can see above everything came together nice. I gotta say after all these years of driving by both of these venues wondering if I would ever get to take part in an event at either of them it was great to finally get to do so and to not only do so but to get to be at them both back to back.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. O'Flinn for making the commitment to marriage you make an awesome couple and for having some excellent vendors including DJ Waldo Productions out to deliver your special day.

Generally my son's school does a Dinner/Auction each year to help keep it running and this time it got back into more of it's traditional format with a Desert/Auction at the Manatee County Fairground's Veteran Expo Hall which I think you would agree turned out pretty sweet. DJ Waldo served up a pretty rockin Christian Set for it, had a unique opportunity to integrate a JUMBOTRON into the setup as well driving it very nicely (as you can see above I even did a little gaming on it at one point just because it was too hard to resist not doing so), everybody had a great time, and another reasonable set of funds were raised to help keep Family Life Community School going for another school year.
What a way to jump into action in January 2024 not only at a venue that I've always thought would be fun and an honor to get to take part in an event at but with a turning 13 on the 13th Golden Birthday Party too. As you can see above I went all out for this (but when do I not for any event that I take on really???) with this cool looking and sounding Boombox Style Setup and these teens got their party on!!!
Happy Birthday Madison, welcome literally to Club 13 haha, and thank you to everybody that came out to celebrate and to you and your parents for having DJ Waldo Productions to introduce you to it in a proper manor. I look forward to hopefully working with your family and friends again in the future.

It only took 15 years but I finally got to take part in a NYE Wedding and not only that but at The Davis Stable too with a Preception which is an interesting concept but I like it--in this case finish out 2023 with a big party on NYE and ring in 2024 actually getting married on NYD (kinda cool if you think about it and makes for sort of a double anniversary in the future as well that's easy to remember).
Despite it having been really cold these people came out to have a good time and a good time we had indeed as you can see above with jello shots, cupcakes that Brittany herself made, and a party crowd that was ready to shake it like a salt shaker which I was more than willing to help make happen literally "rocking the night" as one party goer put it and as you can also see above taking and working song requests while even earlier doing The Newly Wed Game with the bride/groom and the crowd in attendance. This was my 45th Wedding as well which is quite an achievement itself.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Danley for making the commitment to marriage (even if it was a day later) and for literally choosing DJ Waldo Productions to deliver the entertainment for your Production Grade Preception.
Happy New Year to All and Welcome to 2024!!!

Given the success of the recent local Knights of Columbus Car Show and the fact that the Knight that generally handles DJ needs for this group had a prior commitment for this date this year as well I was asked to help out again but this time for this breakfast so I did so since I ended up having the date pretty open and since I've always thought taking on one of these would be fun and it was. If you hadn't noticed yet I've had a lot of events lately where I've had to do a lot of like really custom rigging to pull off whatever objective was to be had and this event was no different.
Since Santa was the VIP at this breakfast and they wanted him centered when he eventually arrived with me wanting to provide sound support for him and the Imagine Productions Vocal Ensemble to the best of my ability since needs like this for them rarely come up on my end I decided to build a split setup with a Yellow Up-Lit Backdrop since that was the color that was liked the best in this room for this event.
As you can see above a lot of kids and their parents came out and had a joyful time enjoying some fellowship while having a good meal and being reminded of the true meaning of Christmas with each family taking home a laser cut nativity ornament and at least one gift if not a few. I also took my new Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2 out for it's first run in front of a crowd which I'm very pleased with how it did and my family was able to attend as well so all in all this was a great event to have been an important part of--it was nice to find out that I'm not on Santa's naughty list this year either.

Above is a great example of what you can expect of me as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a Christmas Wedding for a very special bride from my "legendary" days DJing After Hour Pink Parties for Victoria Secret.
It had been over a decade since I had last been at the Terra Ceia Golf & Country Club and in that time they had quite a re-model. I ended up building a very custom setup for this event with one speaker handling the party area and the other the main room. Since it was stressed that the bride/groom wanted to accent their white and green colors I setup White Up-Lighting as a part of their Ceremony Backdrop and flew my Mirror Ball with a White LED Spot and one of my Green Scatter Lasers to light up the party area with. I also provided Basic Video Recording Support for their ceremony and worked very heavily with the others involved to bring this bride's vision of what her big day should look like to life.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Keyees for making the commitment to marriage and to Shirley for remembering me all these years later trusting DJ Waldo Productions to deliver her special day in a very special way.

This was my third time at The Club at River Wilderness this time in the far room and providing sound support for it and a section of the outdoor patio as well so this crowd could literally dance indoors and/or outdoors for Susan's Surprise 50th Birthday Party. We timed this event well for her entry, she was very surprised, and everybody had a great time!!!
Its been a while since I've taken on a Car Show (generally these kind of events are handled by the people that put them on internally) but the Knight that normally handles this one from a DJ standpoint already had a prior commitment for the date for this year so he referred me to his fellow Knights to hopefully be able to fill in for him, so I met up with the one in charge of the show, we discussed a lot of things and spent some time looking the lot over and coming up with a very custom audio setup to handle the unique needs of this large approximately 200 cars in attendance show.
I arrived at 5am day of, put our plan in action, finished rigging up by around 9:30am and built one of the most custom audio setups that I've built yet to handle the long L formation of this outdoor area with and to do the best I could to distribute sound over it while competing with a bunch of SR70 traffic noise and not being so loud that I was too much. I was very pleased to be told by many that came by my booth that they could hear what was going on reasonably well and that they loved the fact that I mixed a wide variety of music from oldies to now to make sure the wide age range of people in attendance each got some music that they liked.
As you can see above a lot of nice rides showed up and Johnny Nelson himself even won the People's Choice Award with his built from scratch 1951 Ford F1 Pickup Truck. Thank you again to everybody that came out to this show--if you are a kid or even a kid at heart I hope to see you again in December for some more time with the Knights and Santa.

This was my second time at The Club at River Wilderness and I was given free reign of what to do with my area in the venue so knowing how experienced and generally well equipped that I am for Halloween kind of events I took this one to full on Production Level with a Proven Sound Setup, Comets, Laser, Black Light and Up-Lighting, since it was allowed a Touch of Fog, and even DJ'd in my Waldo Costume. The Dinner Buffet was great and the crowd enjoyed my Halloween Themed Party Set as well so I'm looking forward to possible future events in River Wilderness.
Thank you to everyone that came out to the above event--what a great public event that you were definitely blessed at if you were able to attend in person with yet another amazing God Inspired Set. This was my third time taking part in a Fall Fest kind of event at PUMC and if you count the 3 Trunk or Treats that I did in the years long before this was really my sixth time taking part in a Fall Themed kind of event here which is an honor of it's own.
Since there were over a thousand people at last year's Community Fall Fest (literally the largest and probably best overall one that Parrish has to offer each year) who branched out far beyond the initially designated sound goal zone I spent on top of what already was a lot of time extra prepping for this year's event adding an additional 2000W of BOOM to my setup spanning over 3 Sound Zones putting a total of 7000W of BOOM on this massive outdoor area.
This was one of the largest sound setups that I've built to date, it took a lot of gear and custom rigging along with what I said above about a lot of time to make it happen, and I was very pleased to be told by many people that the event could be heard well across the entire sound coverage goal area and then some but not too much so it was all worth it.
As per the expected norm we had some good times, a lot more good people came, I dropped a lot of good tunes, and even saw some good costumes and treats too with quite the raffle this year I might add.

My good friend Pastor Joe approached me to help with his daughter's Wedding Ceremony in his church's historic chapel so I met with him, his daughter and future son-in-law, we came up with a plan, and we worked together in the remaining weeks leading up to their big day to pull it together.
I went out the day before the ceremony, custom rigged this chapel with a setup that would give it a nice sound while utilizing its no longer in use sound booth for my core gear being able to accommodate an officiant, a live vocalist, a guitarist, the bride/groom's musical needs along with Basic Video Recording Support, did their rehearsal with them, returned the next day and did the actual ceremony doing a literal "outstanding cut above the competition" job.
Above are some pictures along with the video that I shot day of so you can see how I can transform an 1800s era church chapel into a Modern Wedding Ceremony Venue with a Classic Vibe. Thank you again to Pastor Joe for trusting DJ Waldo Productions with your daughter's Wedding Ceremony and for letting me do it the professional job it deserved.

If you've looked around my website you can probably tell that I've worked for Frank's Family a few times and I gotta say it was nice to be asked to work for them again this go for his 75th Birthday. So since the setup I used for his wife's party last year worked well in this room I decided to build something along those lines again with a 4 Speaker Spread to maximize audio distribution in this larger rectangular venue, for the many Veterans present I brought another patriotic version of my Basic Party Package, added a Crowd Scanner, and continued my "2023 Summer of Numark CDJs" mixing on them again for this event as well as running a slightly newer version of Traktor successfully for the first time which has some promising features that I'm hoping to be able to more consistently offer in the future.
A special thank you to Frank for having me out again, to his wife Fran for her part in this, to his kids Cara, Michelle, and Mike, to a bunch of Frank's Friends (there were approximately 150 people in attendance this time), and to the staff at Hotel Venezia for helping to make this party another one to be remembered in a great way.

This was the second time I'd been asked to work one of these parties and what a time we had!!! A special thank you to Memorial Elementary School, the Florida Department of Agriculture, and to Moore Inc. for putting this stop on.
Above would be what you can expect of me as a DJ/MC at a Surprise Birthday Party 30 Years in the making. Thanks again to everybody that came out to celebrate and for actually keeping this a true secret till it was time for it not to be Heather was 100% surprised and we all had a great time with her Dolly Parton themed party as you can see above.
If you've looked a bit at my website you can see that I've taken part in several Pinewood Derbies but this year was my first year not only taking part in but actually being officially in my newest role as the Manatee District Derby Chair and what a time we had with quite a few people in attendance using Camp Flying Eagle's newly remodeled Mess Hall to host this year's Manatee District Pinewood Derby for the first time since its remodel in. Thank you to all of the scouts and their families that came out to race the Manatee District's fastest of the fast and to the team of people (especially the Rawley family) for their help in making this race come together we'll be at it again in 2024.
Its been a while since I've done a Daddy/Daughter and Mother/Son Dance I've noticed over the years that many of the schools that put these on now tend to find a volunteer internally or get someone to come in and work for real cheap since the budget many schools work with is typically minimal to none and sadly a lot of these dances end up showing it which nobody enjoys as much in the end with the school generally not looking its best in the process either.
I was referred to Providence Community School by a friend when they were talking about putting one of these on for the first time ever and there was a lot of discussion about whether this could actually be pulled off and if it was what would it really be like and would enough families have interest wanting to take part in it?
Of course budget was a thing here too so after the school secured a venue for the dance and picked up enough interest in people wanting to come to it I told them to make me a reasonable offer which they did and the rest is history.
As you can see above DJ Waldo Productions provided a Production Level School Dance, everybody including the most skeptical people going in had a beyond awesome time at it with a carefully chosen set of music and a strict timeline to make sure this event ran well too.
My point in typing all of this up: don't be the school that puts on a sub-par dance when one of Manatee County's Top DJs is right here, easy to reach out to and talk with, generally tries to work with you on finding a middle ground budget wise to give you the best production value possible, is L2 Screened and always puts on a great show.

As a general rule of thumb I tend to avoid taking on Clients that have a heavy need for Latin music since I don't speak spanish fluently or even really try to stay up with the genre itself being that I don't really get a lot of requests for it and am better mixing it in small sets when I drop it at events anyway vs. dropping it for the majority of an event hence why you haven't ever seen me handle a Quinceanera till now.
When I was approached about taking this event on It was made clear that a mix of Latin and Top40 was wanted for it and pretty much 50/50 on both so kind of knowing the crowd being that I have known Brian and Cynthia for several decades each whom we share many friends between (this one for instance I had 3 of my past brides at even) I decided to take this event on and it came out really nice as you can see above (I got an official DJ Waldo tumbler at it too).
Congratulations again to Lili for turning 15 and thank you to you and your parents for trusting DJ Waldo Productions to deliver one of your most special days in a very special way.

Generally my son's school does a Dinner/Auction each year to help keep it running but for this special 25th Anniversary Celebration it was decided to have more of a Family Evening/Auction at the school itself instead. DJ Waldo Productions provided the music for it (spun live on real turntables even), everybody had a great time, and a reasonable set of funds were raised again to help keep Family Life Community School going for another school year.
Ever wonder what a well put together High School Class Reunion 50 years in the making can be like? Above would be how it can look and sound. A huge thank you to Palmetto High School Class of 1972 for having DJ Waldo Productions out to not only take part in your class but to be a part of your family for an evening you all are an awesome group.
Above is a great example of what you can expect of me as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a Halloween Wedding integrating some of the Corpse Bride into it too. Being that there were some people that wanted to attend but couldn't I've put these pictures up along with the link above so anyone can pretty much virtually attend the Ceremony.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Krebs for making the commitment to marriage literally until death do you part and for making a wise choice in trusting DJ Waldo Productions to deliver your special day in a unique way.

Generally my son's school does a Dinner/Auction each year to help keep it running but for the second year in a row now the venue that is generally used for it was unavailable so a Walk-A-Thon/Auction was done again at the school itself. DJ Waldo Productions provided the music for it, as can be seen/heard above everybody had a great time, and a reasonable set of funds were raised to help keep Family Life Community School going for yet another school year.
What an honor not only to have taken part in SCF Venice Collegiate School's First Graduation back in May of this year but to be asked back to drop their First Homecoming Dance too!!! These students had a great time thank you again for trusting DJ Waldo Productions to deliver another event to be remembered in a great way.
Above would be another version of an EPIC Halloween House Party DJ Waldo Productions Style!!! Thanks again to the Sotos for having me out this year, to all the mostly MSA students that attended, and to the neighbors who were not only cool with us putting this on but for actually coming to party with us too enjoy the pics and link above.

Above is a great example of what you can expect of me as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a Wedding. While I didn't play much of a role in their Ceremony other than being an honored guest I did play a major role in the Reception as their DJ/MC.

Happy 50th Birthday Jill!!! Thanks again for having DJ Waldo Productions out to help make it happen.
Can you believe its been 20 Years since I was in high school? Crazy how time flies because I feel like I just finished DJing the BHS 2001, 2002, and 2003 10 Year Reunions and here we are another 10 years later. What a great night with a bunch of classmates that I still consider to be friends and in many cases family even. I'm glad we could get together again for a night of Purple and Gold with a huge shout out to Mr. Gilliland for making an appearance and to our Class President, the Reunion Planning Committee, Eliza Jayn for many of the pics you see above, Rebecca Abrahamson for the Tour of the Current BHS Campus earlier in the day, Juanita Lolita, and to DJ Waldo Productions for a job well done. Many of you I will see over the next 10 years lets keep these good vibes going and keep in touch we truly are one of Booker's best classes. Enjoy the media above.
Above is a great example of what you can expect of me as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a Barn Style Outdoor Wedding with a Ceremony Rig deployed in one location and a Reception Rig deployed in another both at the same venue at the same time. This was done on quite a week too with baby Joshua arriving early, extra family in town, and my 38th Birthday on the same day as my 39th Wedding but it all came together and went really well.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins for not only finally...making the commitment to marriage with Uncle Gary Slaughter officiating but for making a wise choice in the entertainment for your special day trusting your now fully official brother-in-law to deliver it and in a very special way too.

Generally my son's school does a Dinner/Auction each year to help keep it running but the venue that is generally used for it at the time was turned into a COVID testing site which took that option away so a Walk-A-Thon/Auction was done instead at the school in an attempt to still do a fundraiser with the hope of doing it in a safer manor as well and hopefully with similar results. DJ Waldo Productions provided the music for it, as you can see above everybody had a great time with this Dr. Seuss themed event based around Read Across America Day 2021, and a reasonable set of funds were raised to help keep Family Life Community School going for another school year.
Above is a great example of what you can expect of me as a DJ/MC when helping with a Small Backyard Style Wedding Ceremony which as you can imagine has become more popular with the COVID-19 times.
Congratulations to my long time friends Mr. & Mrs. Santiago for not only making the commitment to marriage with a very cool medieval theme and with Kelly Otis officiating but for making a wise choice in having DJ Waldo Productions out to not only provide Live Sound Support for those attending in person so they could clearly hear the happenings and to help to make sure things ran smoothly but to Record and put your special day with the soundtrack for it up for Stream so that anybody who wanted to attend but couldn't could virtually attend as well.

Being that Halloween fell on a Saturday this year I was a little surprised not to be officially booked for it but then again considering how this year has gone it really wasn't out of the question either so I decided to throw a small Trick-or-Treat Block Party for it and wow what a great time!!! We had a reasonable turnout, people came and went which was the goal so as to avoid too much congregating, lots of candy moved, the kids loved being crushed by my production grade foggers, I was the neighborhood's Death Jockey mixing on my Numark CDJ DVR Rig for the night and got to build a carefully level monitored Boombox Style Setup too.
After having been pretty dead since June thanks to this COVID mess it was nice to get back in the DJ Saddle with not only an event but one that allowed me to use many of my toys as you can see and hear above. I gotta say these students are very blessed to not only have had a great DJ/MC throwing down but to have a group of peeps that cared enough to put on this Small Homecoming Dance for them one of the very few that went on in Manatee County this year I might add which was very well done with lots of focus on keeping everyone as reasonably safe as possible from now while still allowing them to have some much needed group fun.
Thank you to all the Brides/Grooms that came out to this Bridal Expo I hope you got some ideas and found some resources to help with your special day--I know I was really happy to get out and do something DJ oriented since all this COVID-19 stuff has ramped up I've been pretty quiet. Many of you are still in the early stages so remember if your plans end up calling for a DJ/MC even if its as simple as providing Ceremony Audio for a mostly Immediate Family/Friends kinda Wedding I'm only a phone call and/or an email away and will be happy to help in any way I can.
Thank you to everyone that came out to the above event talk about a throw back to the Disco Era done in style complete with a Blue Mirror Ball to match River Vista's main color I might add. A special thank you to Melissa for choosing DJ Waldo Productions to transform 2020 back to the Mid-Late 1970s for an evening of disco times, good vibes, and groovy people too.
Its always nice to get to spend some time at my middle school when the opportunity comes up--I even stopped by to visit my old gym locker while I was at it. Thanks again to everyone that came out to this year's Spring Fling!!!
Welcome to 2020 & the beginning of my 12th Year as a DJ/MC what a fun way to ring it in!!!
Above is a great example of how far I can go as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a NYE Party when I'm given the opportunity to do so. A special thanks to Peter and Carol for choosing DJ Waldo Productions to deliver the entertainment for The Fourth Bayshore Condo Association's 2019 to 2020 NYE Party.
Above is a great example of how far I can go as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a Christmas themed event. A special thanks to Lisa from Water's Edge of Bradenton for choosing DJ Waldo Productions to deliver the entertainment for your staff's Christmas Party for the second year in a row.
Above is a great example of what you can expect of me as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a very special bride's Fairytale Wedding--believe it or not Ashley and I go all the way back to DJ Waldo's Crave Rave Parties both of us watching each other grow into who we are today which I can personally say I'm very proud of her and Chris.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Spears for not only making the commitment to marriage with Pastor Jeff Peck officiating and Agatha's touch also I might add but for making a wise choice in the entertainment for your special day like you said knowing that you had "a DJ you could trust and rely on" to help deliver your happily ever after.

Thank you to everyone that came out to the above event--what a great public event to end October 2019 with. Good times, good people, good tunes, good costumes, and lots of good trunks full of treats I might add.
So talk about the joining of 2 individuals (Samantha and Marcos) from 2 different countries (America and Cuba). While I didn't play a role in their Ceremony being that it was held on Longboat Key in a spot where my equipment wouldn't have been a good fit I did play a major role in their Reception as their DJ/MC. Being that there were some family and friends who wanted to attend but couldn't due to the distance I've put these pictures up along with the link above so anyone can pretty much virtually attend Mr. & Mrs. Fernandez's Wedding Reception.
Above is a great example of how far I can go as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a Wedding.

Just to put it out there I am 36 as of this Wedding and have now been the DJ/MC for 36 Weddings too.

Thank you to everyone that came out to the above event literally in the heart of Downtown Bradenton too how cool. Good times, good people, good tunes, good costumes, and lots of good trunks full of treats I might add.
Kelly was one of my brides back in 2012 and not only a bride but a long time friend before, during, and after her special day which I was honored to be an important part of and even more honored to be reminded all these years later of the awesome job I did. In case you're wondering about the CD (these days I do this more often with a Drop Box Link or a USB Drive depending on the size) it's something I offer to most of my Clients--imagine having a copy of the media I shoot picture/video wise of your event and a recording of it too (sometimes these days I put it up for audio stream on my Mixcloud Page as one of my Free Promo Mixes even) so in cases like this especially for such an important life event you could go back and re-live your event anytime you want pretty nice concept huh?
Thanks to everybody that came out and supported these Networking Events. We had a great time at each one with a nice assortment of $100 Winners along the way. In case you missed out or wanna re-live the times we had above is a glimpse of what you can expect when our local $100 Circle Community Partners come together to throw an event with DJ Waldo Live in the Mix.
Above is a great example of how far I can go as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a Christmas themed event. A special thanks to Nicole from Water's Edge of Bradenton for choosing DJ Waldo Productions to deliver the entertainment for your staff's Christmas Party this year.
So talk about the joining of 2 individuals (Rebecca and Glenville) from 2 different countries (America and Jamaica). I ended up playing an important role in their Ceremony providing the Music and Live Sound Support for it and in their Reception as their DJ/MC. Above is a great example of what can be expected when the right mix of vendors work together to make a Wedding along these lines happen. Being that there were some family and friends who wanted to attend but couldn't due to the distance I've put these pictures up along with the link above so anyone can pretty much virtually attend Mr. & Mrs. Reid-Thomas's Wedding.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Reid-Thomas for not only making the commitment to marriage but for making a wise choice in trusting DJ Waldo Productions to deliver the entertainment for your special day.

Thank you to everyone that came out to the above event--what a great public event to end October 2018 with. Good times, good people, good tunes, good costumes, and lots of good trunks full of treats I might add.
Above is a great example of what I can provide as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a kid themed event. Congratulations again to Kayleigh for turning 5 and to your parents for choosing DJ Waldo Productions
to deliver the entertainment for your party.
to deliver the entertainment for your party.
Its been a while since DJ Waldo got to put a party feel on a church but that's what happened for the last night of PUMC's VBS 2018!!! Thank you to everybody that took part in this year's Vacation Bible School.
Just so you know I had to wait a decade before I got to be the DJ/MC for a Star Wars Themed Wedding although it was well worth the wait as you can see above. What a great time from a Ceremony that was out of this world to a galactic style Reception complete with a full on Light Saber Duel I might add. Congratulations to Cara & Ben for not only making the commitment to marriage but for doing so in such a cool way may the force be with you always.
Above is a great example of what I can provide as a DJ/MC putting a production twist on a Sweet 16 Party. Congratulations again to Cassidy for making it to the Big 1 6 and for making a wise choice in picking DJ Waldo Productions to deliver the entertainment for your party.
Thank you to everyone that came out to the above event--one of my first public events of 2018 even how cool. Good times, good people, good tunes, lots of good rides, and for a good cause too I might add.
Looking at my website (believe it or not it started as a Myspace Page too) which gives you a window into many of the events I've had over the years I'm sure you can tell I've been DJing for a while but as of 2018 did you know that DJ Waldo Productions has officially been in business for 10 years? My what a ride its been with lots of ups/downs, some really busy years, some really quite years, and plenty of in-between years too. I've picked up many things along the way and lots of stuff has changed in the DJ World as I'm sure you can see not to mention my life in general has changed a lot too as I've slowly transitioned from a newly married man back when I started DJing in 2008 to eventually becoming a dad/family man over the last few years who still delivers his best every time he performs. I'm sure more changes are on the way as time goes on but that being said what a milestone to have made it to. Thank you to everyone that's supported me over the years!!!
Thank you to everyone that came out to the above event--what a great public event to end 2017 with. Good times, good people, good tunes, good costumes, and lots of good trunks full of treats I might add.
So if I was going to pick 2 people as "The Perfect Match" Mario and Christine would be my top choice. While I didn't play a role in their Ceremony being that it was on Siesta Beach in a spot where my equipment wouldn't have been a good fit I did play a major role in their Reception as their DJ/MC. Being that there were some family and friends who wanted to attend but couldn't I've put these pictures and links up so anyone can pretty much virtually attend Mr. & Mrs. Wofford's Wedding Reception.

Thank you to everyone that came out to this Redzone Bootcamp session to not only get a great workout in but to celebrate David's birthday too. This was my 5th one with you guys, the largest yet with about 180 people in attendance, and lots of fun to do this time outside at Palma Sola Park I look forward to hopefully seeing you all again in the future.
So talk about the joining of 2 individuals (Charity and Oisin) from 2 different countries (America and Ireland) with 2 wonderful families (The Pucketts' and The Creans') in 2 different venues (Faith Lutheran Church and The Bradenton Yacht Club). While I didn't play much of a role in their Ceremony other than being an honored guest I did play a major role in their Reception as their DJ/MC and above is a great example of what can be expected when the right mix of vendors work together to make a Wedding along these lines happen. Being that there were some family and friends who wanted to attend but couldn't due to the distance I've put these pictures up along with the link above so anyone can pretty much virtually attend Mr. & Mrs. Crean's Wedding Reception.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Crean for not only making the commitment to marriage but for making a wise choice in the entertainment for your special day with DJ Waldo Productions literally in your corner from the time we first spoke to when it was all said and done as a day you will cherish forever.
So as of 7/11/15 I'm proud to say I've played a major role in making 25 Weddings happen. Granted it took me 7 years to get here but considering that I only have so many dates in a year that I can offer out to DJ on and that I only take on Clients that I'm fairly certain I will be a good fit for not to mention that I've done lots of other events in addition to them I think that counts as a pretty big milestone. Its been a blast and an honor to have been an important part of my Bride/Groom's special days and all the work it takes to make them run smoothly with the production twist I've put on each of them. I've grown and learned a lot over this time and I look forward to taking on more Weddings in the future.
Above is a great example of what you can expect of me as a DJ/MC. Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Burkholder for not only making the commitment to marriage but for making a wise choice in the entertainment for your special day.
