Music Curation & Custom Playlists
We don’t do cookie-cutter playlists. Your DJ will work with you to craft a custom soundtrack that reflects your style, vibe, and vision — from your ceremony to the last dance. You’ll also get access to our online planning portal to make requests and notes at your own pace.
In your Song Request Sheet form, you have the ability to categorize your song selections across “Must Play”, “Play if Possible”, “Play if Requested” and “Do Not Play” as well as let us know your main songs for your Ceremony & Reception (I.e. Bride Entrance, Cake Cutting, and First Dance). You can also share Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music links with us with Playlists you’ve created yourself and from there we can live mix it at your special occasion.
Experience & Professionalism
With over 20 years of experience in live mixing, signature DJ setups, custom playlists, ceremony coverage, and event hosting, we’ve successfully performed at over 200 weddings—delivering unforgettable moments and seamless celebrations. Since entertainment is one of the most memorable aspects for guests, our mission is to elevate your event with a personalized, high-energy experience that leaves a lasting impression.
Reviews & Reputation
We’re proud to have earned over 80 five-star reviews on Google and nearly 100 more across The Knot, Zola, and WeddingWire.

All These forms will act as a roadmap for your DJ to match with the vibe, curation, and direction that you’d like to go.

Every tier & package includes the essentials: professional DJ/MC services, wireless microphones, a high-quality sound system, custom music planning, stylish DJ setup, full setup and teardown, and a pre-event consultation. You can enhance your experience with premium add-ons like ceremony audio coverage, cocktail hour music, and intelligent dance lighting.
Choice
At iShine Music Production, we operate as a talent-based DJ company, which means we offer different levels of service based on the style of experience you’re looking for.
The All-Inclusive Experience gives you the option to book our top-tier talent, including Christopher “DJ iShine” Summers or one of our Premiere DJs from TEAMiSHINE. This includes direct collaboration, premium sound and lighting, full customization, and a truly hands-on approach to music and event flow. Start and stop time available for the full duration of your event. The All-Inclusive Experience is best for Weddings, high profile celebrations, and galas. You will also receive access to online planning forms.
The Composer Edition is designed for clients who prefer a simpler approach — if you're looking for “just music and a DJ,” we’ll internally match you with a trusted DJ from our network who fits your event’s vibe and structure. Start and stop time available within a 3 hour timeframe. The Composer Edition is best for community events, parties, and small-mid sized events. You will receive a song request sheet to fill out.
If Christopher “DJ iShine” Summers is requested under the Composer Edition and is available, a Talent Premium will apply.
Transparency
We’re not just showing up to play music — we’re designing a full-scale experience around your special occasion. Our pricing reflects the expertise, preparation, and high-end production that go into every type of celebration, whether it is a wedding, party or event. That means:
Professional-grade sound and lighting equipment
Custom music curation, not just a playlist
Master-level mixing and hosting tailored to your timeline
Ongoing planning support and day-of execution
Visual setups that complement your venue’s aesthetic
A track record of 200+ successful weddings and premium events
You’re not paying for just “a DJ.” You’re investing in peace of mind, a packed dance floor, and a celebration that feels polished, effortless, and unforgettable.
Yes — there are cheaper options. But this isn’t the moment to take a risk on the lowest bidder. We charge what it takes to do it right.
As of 2025, the average cost for a full-time professional DJ ranges between $2,200 and $4,200. For couples looking to maximize their wedding experience, we recommend leaving the DJ to the experts — ensuring seamless flow, top-tier equipment, and a stress-free day. Anything below that range? Consider DIY options to save time and money without sacrificing peace of mind.
Types of Events
As a talent-based DJ company, we are equipped to perform at a wide range of events, including weddings, parties, private events, school dances, and more. For events lasting more than 3 hours, we recommend our All-Inclusive DJ Package to ensure a seamless experience. For events under that duration, our Composer Edition provides a fair and competitive rate while still delivering high-quality service.
Talent
Each tier reflects the level of DJ experience, event complexity, and customization. Whether you’re booking Christopher “DJ iShine” Summers directly, one of our Premiere DJs, or both together, every tier under our All-Inclusive Package delivers professional quality. Higher tiers offer more dynamic coverage, advanced mixing, elevated gear, and dual-DJ setups for large events or venues with multiple zones.
MC Hosting (Master of Ceremonies)
Your DJ will expertly guide the flow of your event — from the grand entrance to the last song — with professionalism and precision. Whether you're aiming for high energy or laid-back vibes, our MCing adapts to the crowd and your preferences. This is crucial, as you want to ensure that the person holding the mic can make your event shine.
