More about Nick

What is your favorite part about DJing weddings?

The first dance. I’m usually smiling ear-to-ear (not in a creepy way) when that is taking place. It’s one of the final moments for the couple where they get to just be together. I love just being a small part of that moment in the background making it happen. It’s awesome.


How do you like to keep the dance floor rockin’ all night?

I play the right songs at the right time. During the first 20-40 minutes of dancing, I mix it up with a wide variety of songs that span generations, making sure everyone from every age group gets a chance to hit the dance floor! After that, I read the crowd in real-time and will roll with whatever vibe the crowd is giving me, while still making sure to incorporate any special song requests from the couple. It’s all about creating the perfect atmosphere and keeping the energy flowing.


How would you describe your emcee style?

I’m definitely outgoing and love being on the mic, but I always keep it balanced. It’s never about me stealing the spotlight—it’s all about the couple! My goal is to make sure they feel like the stars of their own day, while also keeping their guests engaged and making sure everyone has a great time. It’s the couple’s moment, and I’m here to make sure it’s unforgettable for all the right reasons.


Why should someone hire you to DJ their wedding?

I’m seriously excited to be a part of a wedding day! I get so amped up for every single couple I work for because I want to give them a night they’ll never forget (I know it sounds cliche, but it’s 100% true)! I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure they are taken care of and will go above and beyond to make their day absolutely amazing. But it’s not just about the couple—it’s about making sure their guests are still talking about their wedding for years (yes, years) to come (in the best way, of course)! I want people to walk away thinking, “This was the wedding”—and friends and family saying, “I wish I had that wedding!” You only get one shot at this, so let’s make it legendary!


Who is your all-time favorite artist?

The Queen of Pop and living legend: Britney Spears – that’s it. That’s the only correct answer.


What are your hobbies outside of DJing?

I’m a huge football (soccer) fan and love catching games from my Michigan Wolverines, Chicago Bulls, and Detroit Lions. When I’m not behind the decks (which is pretty rare), you’ll find me as a business owner growing Impulse Entertainment, hanging out with my best friend and amazing wife, Susan, or trying to squeeze in a tropical getaway once a year (if we can swing it).
