Metro-Detroit's BEST
Hard Disk Jockey

No joke, you’ve set a high benchmark on what we now expect a DJ to do. We loved the fact that you get up and get people to dance. The DJ at the wedding we were at yesterday stayed behind the equipment. Thank you so much for being our DJ almost 6 years ago.”

MY NAME IS BRETT CUMMINS.

I want to be your DJ.

I consider myself what I call the “anti-DJ.” That doesn’t mean I think you shouldn’t have a DJ, it means that I don’t do the things that “bad DJs” do. Think about the worst event you’ve been to. Think about all the things that made it bad…and then do the oppposite of those things. That’s me! It’s common sense. It’s not about me. Your day is all about you. I believe a great DJ is present but transparent all at the same time. There’s no need for cheesy sequins or inflatable props. I’m all about class and excellence.

I WANT TO HELP YOU.

Let’s make history.

I’m in this business to help you tell your story in a fun and engaging way. I do it all for my beautiful wife and our two perfect daughters. I can help you make history because I’ve always had a passion for music and the joy it brings. I mean, I get to be a joy dealer! How cool is that?! But if your first question is about how much it costs or what I can give you, then I’m not your guy. If you’re looking for a professional that loves what he does and does it with excellence, then let’s talk about your event.

20+ YEARS

EXPERIENCE

HUNDREDS

OF EVENTS

THOUSANDS

OF PEOPLE

“Thank you for being a part of our special day. You killed it and everyone loved the energy you brought to the night. I have heard nothing but positive comments about you from our guests and all have said you were the best wedding DJ they have seen. You are simply the best around.

My Golden Rules.

I take this seriously. It’s my passion and I enjoy doing it. I LOVE IT. Truth is I’m not just any other DJ. I view this as an opportunity to bring people together, make memories, and celebrate life.

Trust

I’ve done this a few times. Know that I consider myself the “anti-DJ.” Take the worst parts of any event and do the opposite of those things. That’s me.

Respect

You have ideas. I have the know-how. I want to give you an amazing event as we create fun memories. My clients listen to me and I listen to them.

Value

You will know you made a great decision by investing in me to entertain you and your guests. You will feel that every moment of your event was worth it.

Excellence

It inspires people. It’s important to me. When the lights come on, your guests should groan and be chanting, “one more song!” Leave them wanting more.

My clients trust me.

And you should, too!

Motor City HDJ is once again award-winning for 2024.

And I have the best clients! That’s why I continue to strive to give every couple the same level of trust, respect, value, and excellence.

The ingredients for a party.

Every Motor City HDJ event is different. I offer dynamic pricing to meet your budget and tailor the experience to what you need. Not seeing something? Don’t worry: I probably offer it.

Digital sound system

Every event features the 2,600-watt Mackie Thump speaker system: the industry standard in live sound. Elevator music or cranked to 11, it’s up to you. Sound is what I do. I’ve invested in the very best to make sure your guests hear the very best. I’ve got all the audio accessories you need for a successful event.


Dance floor lighting

Your dance floor will light up with my 10-foot lighting truss. I use intelligent LED lighting powered by Chauvet to headline as the literal star of your show. The truss features 8 moving-head fixtures to bring your dance floor to life. The lighting adapts to the moment: a slow wash during dinner or all-in-rock-concert during dancing. Game changer!


Up lighting

Your event space will be completely transformed with LED up lighting. Every Motor City HDJ event includes 18 up lighting fixutres placed strategically around your event space. You choose the color or the combination. There are millions to choose from! Up lighting is that little extra that can take your completely elevate your event space.


Online planning center

Plan your event on your own time from anywhere. The planning center makes the process simple. Everything is in the cloud, so you’ll have access to the planning center from any device. You’ll even get reminders throughout the process to keep you on track and not feel overwhelmed. After all, this is supposed to be fun!


Custom monograms

If you’ve ever truly wanted to see your name in lights, I do that too! With a catalog of hundreds of designs, you can order a custom-designed die-cut gobo monogram from my friends at Rosco. It’s even yours to keep when we’re done! The monogram can be placed anywhere in you room you’d like and will definitely add an extra layer of elegance.


Mobile guest requests

The Motor City HDJ mobile guest request system is another way I’m changing the game. People are constantly on their phones, so why not keep them engaged at your event? Guests will be able to request music right from their devices simply by visiting this website. And you always have complete control of the music I play.
