Pat - Premium | Event & Wedding DJ Cedar Rapids

Meet Pat

How would you describe your personality?

I am indomitable free spirit; people close to me have described me as genuine, adaptable, and maybe even a little silly! You can find me dancing all night whether I’m behind the booth or with your guests (I may even do a cartwheel). My presence commands a room and makes things happen- and my attitude puts people at ease to make their day stress free.

What makes you unique as a DJ?

With over 7+ years of experience, over 200 events, and dozens of DJ’s that I’ve mentored; I’ve seen it all. There is no situation I won’t immediately hop into with a solution, whether its cleaning up a spilled drink on the dancefloor, or making up a game on the spot to keep guests engaged while stalling for time to take a few more photos.Also, I *have* been told by multiple people that I should be DJing nightclubs based on the prowess of my mixing & transitions. As tempting as it sounds, there’s no way I’d give up my weekends to do nightclubs instead of turning somebody’s biggest day INTO a nightclub!

Why do you enjoy working for Complete Weddings + Events?

THE TEAM!! Being a wedding professional, you can’t always count on everyone to work well with you. It’s a mixed bag on what you’re gonna get with multiple vendors. At Complete, we get to be a team with the photographer, videographer, coordinator, and photo booth. We take something that usually has a lot of miss-matched parts, and we make it all work like a well oiled machine. There’s nothing better than trusting and having rapport with the other folks you work with!

What is the best part about DJing weddings + events?

Making the moment. Often, I feel like I’m directing a movie when I conduct the music & timeline of a wedding. I want to play out a cinematic vision for you. I don’t just play music, I use music as a tool in the many roles I take when DJing. If you took away my ability to play music, I’d still be your personal assistant and onsite coordinator. You don’t get to play such an important role behind a booth at a nightclub or bar.|

What’s your go to banger song of choice to get a party started?

“Get Your Freak On” by Missy Elliott

What is your #1 goal at every event?

Friendliness! Nothing feels more satisfying than a guest asking me how long I’ve been friends with the couple- even if we’ve worked together only during wedding planning, I want to be an extra best friend for you and your guests. I also believe that a good DJ sets the tone of the night, but a great DJ embodies it and lives it out. I’m going to have as much fun as you do, so it’s paramount that I make sure this is the best day yet for everyone!
