DJ Brian McDonald

Brian McDonald began his DJ career out of necessity in 1997 while serving in the United States Marine Corps. He was part of an elite cadre that not only protected U.S. Embassies from attack; the detachment’s living quarters was also the entertainment and social site for many diplomats to relax after a hard days work. As the parties grew larger the need for a DJ increased. Brian took on this challenge with much success and continued to DJ at many foreign posts abroad.

Fast forward to 2002, and Brian was hired as the resident DJ at Images of Strongsville and McCarthy’s of Lakewood, where he stayed on for many years. Through references, he was asked to perform his first of many wedding receptions in 2003.

In 2005, Brian was asked to provide production services to world renowned DJ Aladdin, who specializes in Indian wedding receptions. A strong working relationship was formed and Brian continued to learn the many aspects of a successful Indian wedding. While providing production services for another large Indian wedding in 2007, Brian was asked at the last minute by the DJ to fill in as DJ. Brian, having been trained by the best, didn’t shy away and got the job done wonderfully.

Today, Brian travels all over the USA providing wedding services and holds a residency at Tradesman in Parma. Brian has been with Cleveland Music Group since 2009. His showmanship, production quality, and attention to detail will amaze all in attendance.

  Great Wedding DJ

  Everyone loved DJ Brian. He played a variety of songs fast/slow, older/newer that kept everyone on the floor and having a blast! Several people commented that he was very good.

  Just amazing

  My wife and I are both musicians, so we were very picky about what music we wanted played and the standard of DJ we were looking for. DJ Brian McDonald did an exceptional job! He nailed all of our requests for parent dances and introductions, and did an unbelievable job live spinning and creating the club atmosphere we were after. Our one minor complaint is that he didn’t play most of our “Must play” and playlist songs, but he kept the dance floor packed all night and was otherwise so incredible that it didn’t end up making it unenjoyable by any means. We received compliments on him all night and would use him again in a heartbeat. Very professional, laid back, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone!

  Best Music and Wonderful Lighting

  

  DJ Brian McDonald is awesome. The guests raved about the music. They liked the continuous playing of music, no gaps at all. The coral uplighting that Scott chose for us was on point. It completed the look we were striving for. I would have never thought the lighting would make this much of a difference. I have never seen so many guests dance all night.

  Great DJ

  DJ Brian McDonald was great. He played excellent music throughout the night and went above his duties as a DJ to make us feel comfortable. Would definitely hire again.

  Thanks to Brian for making our party unforgettable. The music was great. Everyone danced and had a great time. Guests even asked for his name for future parties. I appreciate his flexibility, as the weather changed the dance floor plans at the last minute. Thanks again!
