History

JDs DJ Service was started on November 23, 1991 when the DJ I
  hired to do my wedding pulled a NO SHOW. At that time I had a
  small radio shack mix board, a dual cassette deck with about 300   
  tapes, and a single CD player with about 60 CDs.  I hooked these
  up to a home amplifier/receiver and a pair of home speakers. I then
  talked one of my friends & his dad into spinning the tunes for us.
  Well it wasn't perfect but it worked.

Shortly after this a friend was getting married and asked me if I could
  do his reception. I agreed and with the help of my best friend, Allen
  Martin, we  played the event (as a wedding gift). While doing this
  wedding reception, we had 3 different people ask what we 
  charged.

Well long story made short, the business was up and
  running and has not slowed down. We have expanded our music
  selection to thousands of songs on both CD & MP3  and now run
  Professional Grade equipment including Peavy, Sure, Gemini, 
  Audio Technica, Sony, and more.

JDs DJ Services cut its teeth on performing at wedding receptions
  and focused on these type of events for many years.
  You will probably notice by the website, that our main focus
  has shifted from weddings to automotive events. We now        specialize in Car Shows & Cruise ins.

So if you're looking for a mobile DJ, you can count on for your 
  upcoming event give us a call at  309-244-7178 or
