DJ Sound & Lighting is ALL we do so we can focus on you and your event. We can even Hot-Mix your song requests in sets or for the entire event! Or we can simply play the music...
Professional Sound & Lighting Systems...
Using state-of-the-art sound systems, MidKnight Productions can provide bi-amped, crystal clear sound for your event. We are proud users of Rane, Virtual DJ, Crown, BBE, Peavey & Mackie Sound Gear. A Laptop & DMX controlled lighting system to create choreographed and unique lighting effects for your event. We have dozens of lighting fixtures to choose from and we are proud users of Martin, ADJ, Venue & Chauvet Lighting products.
Professional Event Execution...
At Midknight Productions we look, dress and act professional at all times. From tucking all of our wiring under skirts / scrims and out of sight to courteous and professional DJs, we always remain attentive to our client's various needs. We will help you plan your event all the way down to professionally produced fliers and signage. We also use only legally purchased & obtained music & videos in our performances.
Our Philosophy
We play the music you and your guests want to hear!
We Love what we do, not to mention we like to share that love of music and the experience of an event with everyone. To be a good DJ, we believe this is key. This is not just 'a job to do' for us. MidKnight Productions DJ Services is a Brand of Excellence. It’s also what has kept us in the DJ business for over 42 years and driving us forward.
Professionalism, for us, is multi-faceted. Our equipment and presentation at any event we perform must be first-class each time. When we set up our sound & lighting gear, we want the cleanest setup we can provide to our clients. Yes, this takes extra time, but the result is worth the extra effort. Presentation for us is paramount. We do the little things like hide the wiring behind skirts & scrims and tape wires to the floor for safety and we are never, ever late to an event.
In the digital age, we have curated our own music library that we keep on our laptops and do not require a WiFi connection to play our music.
Over the years we have heard the negative stories of how other DJs/bands or event coordinators have destroyed an event or wedding due to inexperience or lack of quality gear... We realize that the wedding or event we are DJing at is a one-shot deal and that there are no 'do-overs’, nor can anyone turn back the hands of time. Therefore, we do it right the first time, every time. This means we communicate with our clients frequently to be sure we understand their ‘vision’ for the event.
We also believe in doing business the old-fashioned way: Face to face & Under Contract. This is the only way we secure bookings.
