The Music Place is More Than Just Your Average Wedding DJ; They're Party Specialists

Ever since Dan Eckelbarger started The Music Place back in 1978, this team of DJs has been curating unique music experiences for all kinds of events, including weddings. Since then, the business has been passed to Dan's son, Blake, who started DJing when he was young. Throughout the years, the faces have changed, but the goal has always remained the same: for their clients to love the celebration as much as they do. However, they aren't your stereotypical wedding DJs. They promise that their music and entertainment is always fresh and never cheesy!
 

What Makes The Music Place Different?

The Music Place is and always has been made up of real DJs. Those men and women you hear on the radio between songs, they are the same ones that are coming to your wedding to make sure you and your guests have a night full of fun times and good tunes that they remember for a long time. 

Currently, two DJs make up the team at The Music Place, Blake (a.k.a. DJ Sticky Boots) and Jeff (a.k.a. DJ Iceberg). Because the two of them come from such diverse backgrounds and have an intense love for music and celebrations, it's tough to find someone who doesn't love them and their event DJing!
