Online Networking

I haven't posted in awhile - just like in your world, things have occasionally been crazy busy. You can check out my personal profile at Facebook.com now; I'm also getting started on LinkedIn.com. Both are turning out to be tremendous avenues for me to find new connections and to re-connect with old friends and colleagues.

Coming up, I've got a New Year's Eve party, and then wedding season is just around the corner! Start recommending "A Positive Spin" to your friends and family who are thinking of planning an event!

"I was blown away at how well our DJ facilitated the different events throughout our completely PACKED wedding schedule. In addition, the energy and music throughout the wedding were appropriate and actually took everything to the next level, making it all feel exciting. If you are deciding between hiring a band or different DJs, Darrell Olling is a great decision who comes with necessary experience, equipment, and energy for the job."

"I was the birthday girl in the (October 25 post), and I can't begin to tell you how awesome Darrell was as my DJ. He played everything I pre-requested and even took instant requests from my guests. People continually told me after the party how great the DJ was! His sound system was tops and his lights created the perfect atmosphere! Everybody danced, danced and danced! I was so happy and would recommend Darrell to everyone!"

"I wanted to thank you again so much for making it to our special day and making it even more special with you being our Wedding DJ. I can't tell you how much everyone loved your performance, and couldn't say enough what a great time they had and what a great job you did keeping the guests on the dance floor. I had so many people come up to me and tell me this was the best wedding they have been to, and how awesome of a DJ you were. You really did a great job and we couldn't be happier with the service you provided for us, and thank you again for making such a long drive just so we could have you at our wedding. We will be sure to put your name out there for future events! P.S. - Thanks for wearing your Tux and Chuck Taylors too; you really fit in with our Rockabilly themed wedding! =)"

"Darrell has been a DJ for our singles ministry in Livermore, and has done a great job. It can be a tough job to play positive, appropriate music that is still danceable, in a Christian setting, and Darrell nailed it! He is positive and engaging. He gets people out on the dance floor having a great time. If you need a DJ that will connect with your audience and give them a great time, give Darrell a call."

"Darrell Olling was the perfect DJ for our school auction. His vast repertoire of music showed that he was able to balance out every mood through our long and fun event. He even integrated his equipment set-up with our holiday trees and the country club's plants.

He is someone you can trust and is very easy to work with. Music is so important at an event, and thanks to him we had a successful and memorable night. If I ever need a DJ again, Darrell is definitely the person I would call!!"
