Bringing life to music for weddings, parties & events. Let's make your event something everyone talks about forever!
Unleash energy at your wedding, party, or corporate event with DJ Shane Deegan — professional sound, lighting, and unbeatable vibes.
I was always the music guy. I played in bands growing up. I DJ'd a punk rock radio show when I was in college. Going from physical media to digital files, I was that friend that had 25,000 songs on his iPod, meticulously organized. I was curating party playlists and getting into DJ'ing when my own friends started getting married, it was a natural fit. I did my first wedding in 2011 and started growing. Going from friends to word-of-mouth recommendations to working regularly. Its one of those shifts you don't see happening and one day you look around and go "oh, I'm doing this for real. I guess I do this now."
Its not even about me. Its really about YOU. With any wedding, your group will show up with an expectation. They know they'll hear Bruno Mars or Pitbull or whatever so they show up ready to dance to those songs. While thats true, you also want to blow their minds by personalizing it to push it over the top.
I always ask everybody I work with when they graduated high school because I want to know when they were in 8th grade! The human experience of self-expression and individuation happens for all of us at 13 or 14 and its universally true, wherever you are for that moment will be your music for the rest of your life. Nothing will ever hit you the way your music from 8th grade hits! My approach is all about connecting to that spot and blending that together with guest expectations & greatest hits.
I do. I love doing that stuff because I know its going to create something special. It becomes individualized and nobody else will ever have that same experience. All of this pre-work is included in what I do. Its how I approach the event as part of the team, use my skills to make it memorable!
I don't have different packages. I don't book by the hour. I think about it as "all in" When we book I'm yours for the day. If you want to have a wedding ceremony at 9am and then play yard games all afternoon, we can do that! (I did that once. It was awesome!) If you want to start dancing at 7pm and go until 2am we can do that (I'll try to talk you out of this. I think its a pretty terrible idea and everybody will start losing energy like 3 hours in, but we can cross that bridge when we get there haha) Lets create something that works for both of us and don't feel restricted to a certain time frame. Its about the entire day.
I'm all over the place. I was raised by punk rock & hip hop, I love The Beatles and Outkast. I will never turn down Taylor Swift. If I'm playing out and its dealers choice, not a wedding, and I get to do my own thing for the night I'm playing old funk, soul, garage, and native tongues era hip hop. There's a cool vibration and rhythm there that can exist parallel to the event without the crowd having to be conscious of it. I love playing in that space. Those aren't the best songs for weddings though. My favorite song at a wedding is the song that YOU chose, because it connects to something special in your life. When your guests understand that connection and they react on that first needle drop because they "get it" those are the most satisfying moments.
Because there are already too many DJs on the internet.
“He met with us to go over vibe of the wedding, talk about the feel of the different parts of the wedding, and created a like/dislike list. As date drew nearer, he custom-editted our first dance song (mash up of different artists) as well as mother-son and father-daughter dances. Shane did our ceremony music as well and it was flawless! Would highly recommend Shane to friends and family and would work with him again on parties or events!”

“B and I wish we could get married all over again just to have Shane as our DJ all over again.
He read the room, fought through our music snobbery to create a killer playlist—totally capturing who we are and keeping our guests dancing all night. My bridesman was dancing so hard my husband asked him if someone had dumped water on him...nope, just giving it his all on the dance floor.
1000% recommend Shane, like don't even question it.”
-Emma B
"He went above and beyond to make our day AWESOME. From our first meeting with Shane, we found him to have the right amount of all-positive energy and a total willingness to have us guide the night in terms of the songs.”
-Maia S
“Shane was AMAZING! From start to finish he was so easy to work with! We started planning mid-covid so we did a zoom meeting with him for our initial consult and we seriously felt like we’d known him forever! His process of nailing down who you are and what you’re looking for is seamless and he’s so accommodating to any and all ideas! We get so many compliments about the music from our wedding - he so easily reads the vibe of the event and kept the party going non stop! Dancing was our #1 priority for our wedding and he nailed it!!”
- Ashley N
“Shane was flexible and responsive while we worked through the playlist process. Honestly, you could be hands off and trust him to do that whole thing because the day of he had everyone on the dance floor. He had great equipment with multiple set up locations at the venue. Overall you can tell Shane loves what he does and it shows. Everyone had a great time”
- Emily S
"We had been to a wedding where Shane was the DJ, so when our wedding was being planned, I immediately asked my friend for his information. Our wedding was no exception. Easy communication (he always responded immediately to our questions) and the great music which kept our wedding alive, we were very pleased with Shane. I would highly recommend him if you want a great dance party and wedding vibe without breaking your bank!
