Your DJ Has No Insurance?

Summer Vibes, 30 Minute Live Mix Ft. Chill Covers
Maine DJs that don't mix music aren't worth hiring. There, I said it. Why spend money for someone to simply hit play? The DJ controls the atmosphere of your event and you want to make sure they have the skills to keep your dance floor packed.

Maine Wedding Photographers
I'm often asked, "Hey Greg, do you have any photographers that you could recommend for our wedding?" And, of course, the answer is YES! I've been in the wedding industry for 20+ years and have worked with some incredibly talented Maine photographers. I'm including a list (who I think) are the best.
