theSimpleDJ

In Ryan's own words...
"It all started when a friend asked me to DJ her wedding....
I instantly thought of a guy with greasy hair doing the chicken dance in a tux!

I told her I would do it if we could keep it simple....
- They picked the music
- I only used the mic for announcements
- The focus was on them - not me

The Reception turned out great! (and I started getting calls to do more)
So, I decided to start a DJ service with this "simple" philosophy."

theSimpleDJs are in both Indiana & Illinois.

Ryan Crozier (Owner) is located in Avon, IN (right near Indianapolis)
Danny LaPlante is located in Indianapolis, IN
Dan Green is located in Plainfield, IN
Steven Boyett is located in Minooka, IL (right near Joliet)

*Depending on the location, we might have to charge a small fee for travel!

We know theSimpleDJ is not for everybody!

We are a different type of DJ business.
Instead of trying to prove how important the DJ is, we want to put the focus back on you and your event.

We keep our prices low by
- Not advertising a lot
- Not subscribing to music services
- Relying on referrals
- Just keeping things simple!

Also, we embrace the idea of using your iPod to replace DJ.
You can even rent just our sound system.

As we studied the DJ Industry we found that many DJs are trying to build up their importance at an event,
so they can ensure business and justify their high prices. We don't like that.
We believe it's important to have quality music at your event... so that's what we provide.

The prices vary on the event type and time.
Our goal is to keep our costs low, so we can pass the savings on to you.

For a good idea on our prices check out our Packages!

Dates are reserved once a contract is signed and the non-refundable deposit of $100 is paid.
If you're interested in having theSimpleDJ provide music for your event Contact Us and we'll set-up a meeting!

Nope! We like to keep it classy.
- No jokes over the mic
- No dancing instructionals
- No props
- No sound effects

There's nothing like looking over and seeing the DJ stuffing his face!!!
Seriously though, you don't need to worry about feeding the DJ...
With all the expenses of organizing an event, you don't need to worry about feeding another person!

It all depends on the event and your preference.
We know a lot of DJs boast about the whole tux thing @ Receptions, but here's our thoughts on that...

The only people that wear a tux @ a wedding is the groomsmen. (sometimes)
The DJ is there to provide a service, just like the servers.
So why wear a tux? A tux should be reserved for the important people!

We typically wear dress pants w/ a dress shirt.

A big part of our "simple" philosophy is about you helping make the playlist for your event.
We believe that playing the music you love will raise the quality of your event

We do our best to help with the process!
- We give you a list with 200 of the most requested songs
- We provide recommendations for special songs (i.e. First Dance)
- We will spend as much time with you as needed to complete the playlist.
- We utilize iTunes to set-up your iMix (which can be viewed by all your friends)

Basically, we're going to give you as much help as you need!

We typically arrive about 1 to 2 hours before the scheduled start time.
This is to ensure everything it set-up and prepared for your event.

(Don't worry you're not charged for this time)

We do not encourage visits to private events, but you are more than welcome to attend a public performance.
Just ask us if we have any upcoming public events!

(Keep in mind our style changes to meet the customer's expectations)

Check out our Equipment Page to see exactly what we use.
Also, we do not provide any type of lighting.

Yes! We're always open to extending the time!
If you let us know in advance, it's only $50 for each additional hour.
If you tell us the night of the Event, it's going to $100 for each additional hour.
