Russ Reiff
If you don’t have an event coordinator, Russ is among the very best at keeping track of your reception schedule and coordinating events with you, the reception venue’s staff, your photographer and videographer, and other people who are involved in making your wedding reception a smooth-running success! He is expert both in planning and in making day-of adjustments to accommodate your needs and those of your family and friends.
If you do have a wedding coordinator, Russ works extremely well in a supporting role to help your coordinator, whether it’s an experienced professional or somebody (such as a close friend or relative) to whom you entrust the events on your special day.
For your ceremony, do you:
• Need a DJ who is knowledgeable in classical music?
• Need a DJ who is culturally-sensitive to various wedding ceremony requirements?
• Need a DJ who can provide alternative music styles which are suitable for your ceremony, but which are not mainstream classical music?
At your reception, do you:
• Need a DJ whose knowledge of Hebrew/Jewish horas, klezmer, folk, or other music types extends beyond “Hava Nagila?”
• Need a DJ who can properly play a variety of merengue, salsa, bachata, cumbia, reggaeton, Tejano, and other types of Latin music?
• Need a DJ who is well-versed in both Arabic and Persian popular hits?
• Need a DJ who has experience with Greek bouzoukia and sirtakis?
• Need a DJ who performs Punjabi, dance-mix, Indi-Pop, and other Indian music styles?
• Need a DJ who knows the intricacies of Korean Gayo/K-Pop?
• Need a DJ who plays the hits, both past and present, from the United States?
If any of these are what you’d like to have played at your wedding ceremony and reception, or if you have special cultural needs which must be considered, then you definitely want to talk to Russ!!!
Everybody has a life-story to tell, and Russ is no exception. He played trombone with the Beijing (China) Symphony and sung opera in his past, from which he acquired a wide range of classical music knowledge. He started his disc jockey career while overseas with the U.S. diplomatic corps, bringing a wide range of cultural experience and music exposure with him to this company. His administrative knowledge and proven track-record transfer admirably to the DJ arena, where his time management, logistic, and coordination skills have, time and again, made for extremely happy customers, more than one of whom have claimed that Russ single-handedly made their wedding ceremony or reception a smashing success. Because he dedicates his DJ talents to this company full-time, he is always available to discuss your needs and concerns by phone, video conference, or in person.
