Tell us a little bit about your business.
Plenty DJ Agency is a small group of experienced Pittsburgh DJs that decided to combine forces after working in the nightlife and private events industry for many years.
We strive to make bookings very easy through our site and are always happy and excited to take on new events!
We stand behind our work and you can see many of our DJs in action at bars and clubs across the region before you decide to book one of us. I don’t think there’s another DJ company in Pittsburgh playing at the city’s best nightlife destinations and we truly believe this separates us from the local wedding DJ competition.
What makes your work unique?
Our agency is unique because you can go to our website and choose the DJ you’re interested in, view their pricing, and send in a direct request for them to play your wedding. You’ll know exactly what DJ you’re getting instead of just being paired with whatever DJ is available. We are fully transparent during the booking process and there are no hidden costs or fees. Our DJs are unique because we all cut our teeth in Pittsburgh’s nightlife scene before moving onto private events and weddings. We LOVE playing all genres and decades of music. Playing at bars and clubs trains a DJ to read a room and to understand what their crowd is reacting to. These traits are priceless for handling wedding and events.
What is your ideal client like?
We appreciate when a couple has a vision for their wedding and knows exactly what they are looking for in terms of sound and feel. But we also enjoy when couples give us creative control to run with what we think will work best for their crowd.
How do you get to know a couple’s taste in music?
We first ask about previous weddings they’ve attended to see if there’s anything that stood out that they enjoyed or disliked. After that, a quick chat about their age goes a long way. What did they listen to in high school, through their twenties, thirties, etc? The next step would be to list 10-20 songs that really mean something to them personally and then lastly, to name a few songs that have meaning in their relationship.
How do you motivate guests to get on the dance floor?
Music is the answer! I can’t believe I’m writing this but our DJs actually mix every song together (are you really a DJ if you can’t mix?!). We’ve been to far too many weddings where the “DJ” wasn’t DJing. Each one of our DJs plays hundreds of events every year and know when a song is playing too long, when to switch up the tempo, and when to change gears in terms of mood and music genre. It all comes back to understanding and reading the specific crowd that you have in front of you.
How would you describe your emcee style?
Classy, never corny. When the party starts and the dance floor starts to fill up, our microphone work ramps up to get everyone excited and ready to party. We also understand that sometimes a great crowd just needs great music and mixing to keep them going all night.
