about US
Elite Pro DJ
Our company is the longest standing DJ service in St. Louis having been established in December of 1978. Our original company name was Johnny Richard Productions, which later changed to Elite Pro DJ in 1996. When we first started in 1978, there were only 5 other DJ companies, none of which exist today, and many others have come and gone since.

Our History
Our first wedding, in the Spring of 1979, was for a backyard reception for which I made $75.00. Having no idea what I was doing, I loaded my car with two turntables, a mixer, my mom and dads living room speakers, a small crate of records and off I went. I remember that bride so very well, she was so nice, and also knew so much more than I did! When she came to me and said she was ready for the father/daughter dance, I asked her what that was? She smiled, chuckled, and explained it to me along with some other things I should know about weddings; I’ll never forget her, she truly inspired me.
40 years and more than 12,000 weddings later, Elite Pro DJ stands as the sole survivor of that time. Our company has rolled with all the changes the industry has required and has a well known reputation for it’s outstanding quality, service, work ethic and consistent DJ performance excellence. We have also never lost sight of the importance of value, and do our best to keep our prices within reach of most people looking for a premium level DJ service. We have had many DJ’s come and go over the years in our company, yet 4 of our current 8 DJs have been with us longer than 12 years. Our staff today is as strong and polished as any we have had in the past, they are all truly experts at providing service to weddings.
Having worked as a DJ in many of the top St. Louis nightclubs from 1981-2002, along with doing more than 1,500 weddings myself, my experience in this industry is as solid as you can get. Though I no longer personally do weddings, I still love working with all of my customers helping them plan for the best music and DJ approach for their weddings. There are few, if any questions a future bride or groom could ask me that I would not have some form of experience with, and can offer valid answers and the best ideas to them.
I know that strong personal service, and having premium level DJ’s, is the backbone of any wedding DJ business. It’s exactly what we offer, and we have hundreds of on-line reviews that confirm this. I hope I have the opportunity to work with you for your very important wedding day, and you have my promise that I will give you nothing less than the best.
