About
Hey there! Thank you for your interest in my DJ/MC Services - I've got the music/dance program to make your special day everything you hope it will be. For wedding ceremonies, I have a selection of traditional music as well as modern love songs and instrumentals, and the perfect recessional piece to play after being pronounced. I also provide a wireless mic for the officiant if needed. For Parties and Receptions, I play a variety of upbeat and contemporary songs as your guests get settled, but at a low volume to encourage social conversation. Ready to dance? I'm your guy! My music library consists of 80 years of dance favorites - Big Band to Modern Pop, Classic Rock to Hip Hop, Jazz Standards to Country. Give me your play list and let the party begin. Beyond a DJ playing music, I'm a Dance Leader! In addition to providing Emcee services for weddings and other special events, I am often asked to include an old-fashioned Barn Dance segment (15 - 50 minutes long) consisting of squares, contras, polkas, non-partner, mixers, novelty, and country line dances - Great fun for all ages! No experience necessary, I demonstrate all dances from the floor and adjust the program to the experience and ability of the group to assure maximum participation and enjoyment. Personable and Professional, my goal is to make sure everyone is having a great time, and to keep the event moving along. I do my best to play requests, but always keep it family friendly with no foul language or explicit lyrics. Quoted price includes pre-event consultation, travel, equipment set-up, and requested hours of MC/music/dance program. Hope to see you on the dance floor! Carl Ballou, CBDanceman

We had a wedding with a large age gap in guests. The music fit everyone and was fun! DJ had to move his equipment from ceremony area to reception area, and did so without missing a beat in the music. It was great!

Details: Wedding • 25 - 49 guests • 51 or older • 31 - 50 years old • Country • Oldies • Pop • Outdoor venue • MC services

Thank you, April! I enjoyed working with you and your sister, even under the challenge of getting everything together in less than 3 weeks. The wedding celebration was beautiful, and I loved playing the mix of music that "jived" with everyone.

Carl was very professional and kind at our wedding celebration this past weekend. Our group of people hadn’t seen each other in awhile so there was a lot more mingling going on than there was dancing, but we loved the background music and when we did dance Carl did a great job getting everyone on the dance floor! We received many compliments! Carl was very easy to work with and also gave out helpful tips and advice! Really nice guy that is passionate about music and dancing!

Thank you, Sue & Steve! It was a pleasure providing entertainment for your anniversary party. I had lots of compliments on the music selections, and had fun stepping out on the floor to lead the Macarena.
