Open-Format Wedding DJ in Detroit
One DJ, every genre — a reading-the-room open-format set in Detroit.
Open-format means no genre is off the table. Instead of locking into one lane, Al reads the floor in real time and blends Top 40, hip-hop, house, R&B, throwbacks, Latin, and more into one seamless night. Detroit weddings go big and ballroom-grand, with large family guest lists and high expectations for the dancefloor.
That flexibility is what a modern wedding needs: a cocktail hour that sets the mood, a dinner set that lets people talk, and a reception that builds into a full-on dancefloor. Based in San Diego with a Las Vegas residency in the Tao Group family of venues, Al travels for the right celebration. Serving Metro Detroit, from downtown to the Oakland County suburbs — including Troy, Dearborn, Bloomfield Hills — for weddings of every size.
