What Is an Open Format DJ and Why That Matters for Your Event

If you’ve ever been to a wedding where the dance floor never stopped, chances are there was an open format DJ behind the booth. That’s me.

As an open format DJ, I specialize in blending a wide variety of genres—think Motown, disco, hip hop, pop, Latin, R&B, even country—into one seamless, unforgettable soundtrack. Every event is different, and I bring the vibe to match.

Weddings are my bread and butter, and the guest list is often eclectic: you’ve got grandma, the bride’s sorority sisters, cousins from out of town, and coworkers all in one room. The key? Read the crowd. I work closely with my couples to curate a soundtrack that reflects their style, but I also know how to pivot on the fly. Sometimes the bride and groom pick all their favorites, but the crowd’s not moving. That’s when I shift gears—take a few requests, feel the energy—and boom, the dance floor fills up and even the couple gets pulled into the party.

The beauty of being open format is that I’m not married to one genre. Some DJs only play house or EDM or hip hop and won’t budge. That’s not me. I cater to my client. I build custom vibes. And I welcome feedback, requests, and those spontaneous “OMG you have to play this!” moments that turn good parties into great ones.

If you’re looking for a DJ who can move between genres like a pro, read the room, and make sure every guest leaves saying that was the best party ever—I’m your girl. It’s not just about playing music. It’s about creating moments, memories, and a dance floor that never quits.
