“[Jon] is incredibly organized, flexible, and aims to incorporate every detail into the event. We loved his state of the art equipment, impressive up-lighting and interactive templates for setting up all of your event details.
Aside from using him for DJ/lighting services, he also provided a live guitarist (Dan McGuire) and Photo Booth. Everything was a huge hit with our guests. We recommend District DJ and we are looking forward to any future event so we can work with Jon and the team again in the future.”
WHAT OPTIONS DO WE OFFER?
UPLIGHTING
Uplights are something that really adds a lot to any room or outdoor space. Uplighting is a popular lighting effect used near walls of indoor or outdoor spaces with lights pointing up. By pointing the lights up, you get the term "up lighting". Uplights are a very effective way to add color to your venue or event space to really make the area pop and make an impression on your guests.
100% Wireless LED Uplighting (no cords running along the ground)
Hex-color (RGBAW+UV) LED (Ability to set to almost any color)

CO2 CANNONS (CO2 GUNS)
CO2 cannons, alternatively referred to as CO2 guns, infuse events and weddings with a captivating and dynamic flair, particularly when deployed on the dance floor.

COLD SPARKS (INDOOR SPARKLERS)
The introduction of indoor cold sparklers has completely transformed the manner in which we ignite enthusiasm and enhance the ambiance of events and weddings. These captivating devices provide a safe and enchanting alternative to conventional pyrotechnics, making them the perfect choice for indoor venues and spaces where open flames are not permitted.
Whether it's a lavish wedding reception, a corporate gala, or an energetic music event, indoor cold sparklers have become an indispensable tool for event organizers aiming to craft a mesmerizing and enchanting atmosphere. These spellbinding devices bring the ultimate "wow" factor to any occasion, leaving guests in awe and ensuring an unforgettable experience filled with sparkling memories.
GOBO PRojection Lighting
Gobo Projection is an amazing way to have company logos, a couples’ names, or artwork added to your venue space. A Gobo Projector is like a typical slide projector, but projects a stencil on metal or etched glass, which is then projected onto a wall or floor. The gobos can be completely customized for your wedding or event.

Our 360 LED Pixel Tubes are adaptable and weatherproof lighting solutions crafted to enhance events, sets, and outdoor areas. Sporting an IP65 rating, they are ideal for diverse environments.
These LED tubes boast 68 dynamic effects, strobe options, and seamless dimming transitions, making them the ultimate choice for crafting mesmerizing atmospheres. They are particularly well-suited for accent lighting at dances, events, and weddings.
Whether your aim is to illuminate individuals, objects, or create breathtaking lighting arrangements, the 360 LED Pixel Tubes are your top pick for flexible, pixel-controllable LED lighting that leaves an enduring impact.
WASH LIGHTING
Wash lighting is a lighting method that delivers expansive and uniform illumination over broader surfaces or objects. Usually accomplished using equipment such as floodlights or dedicated wash lights, wash lighting saturates particular sections of the event area in a uniform and attractive radiance. This technique proves particularly effective in accentuating noteworthy decor elements, tables, dance floors, or any focal points demanding attention. Wash lighting provides adaptability by enabling changes in color and brightness, resulting in dynamic and personalized lighting effects. It frequently synergizes with other lighting approaches, adding to complex and immersive lighting arrangements that elevate the general atmosphere of the event location.
BREAKUP PATTERN LIGHTING
The breakup pattern lighting technique employs specialized stencils called gobos, which are placed within powerful light fixtures. These gobos can be made from materials such as metal, acetate, or glass, and they showcase a variety of intricate patterns and designs. When the light source passes through the gobo, it casts the chosen pattern onto different surfaces throughout the venue, like dance floors, walls, or ceilings. This results in visually captivating effects that introduce texture, intensity, and a distinctive ambiance to the event space. Additionally, breakup lighting can include the use of colored filters or gels to project vibrant patterns that harmonize with the event's theme or atmosphere.
SMOKE GEYSERS
We can create dynamic pyrotechnic-like effects with thrilling bursts of colored fog that shoot up as a geyser 7 to 8 feet in the air. Enjoy flame-thrower-style visual effects that will wow your guests but won't burn the house down. The colored LEDs allow for endless color capabilities. This effect is created without any toxic chemicals, fire or heavy CO2 canisters.
Bistro/String Lighting
Completely transform your event space with some simple, yet elegant, bistro or string lighting. Add a little warmth to your space, whether it is at a backyard wedding or inside an elegant ballroom.
Here are a few ways you can use Bistro or String lighting…
