About Our Events:

Lunch & Learns:

Carolina DJ Professionals began hosting Lunch & Learns for the wedding/event/hospitality industry in 2018, starting in Charlotte and then expanding to Asheville & Charleston. Our goal was to create a series of monthly Lunch & Learn events for fellow professionals that focus on improving both our professional and personal lives. How many times do we feel like our businesses are running us, instead of the opposite? We attend networking events regularly, but how often do we share ideas that make our businesses better, our lives easier and increase not just profits, but also our personal and professional joy?

There's power in a community of learning, so we've gathered some of the best professionals around to speak about things they've learned so we can all benefit. Each month we have a different topic, speaker, caterer, and host venue. We've had 75-90 attendees on multiple occasions and average 50-60 pros per lunch. From 11:30-12:00 pm, people have the opportunity to network with other colleagues as they arrive. Lunch will also be ready during that time. At 12:00, we start by recognizing our industry partners for that event, and then our speaker begins. We leave time for Q&A at the end before wrapping up at 1:00 pm. There's time after for people to continue to hang out and network if they like. We're honored to host this event and would love to have you join us!

"We're Engaged, Now What"

Come join us at these events and gain some valuable information that will help in planning your wedding, whether it's this year, next year, or years down the road. You won't find the opportunity to get this much information, from this many vendors, in one place...AND be able to have specific questions answered also.

We began hosting this event in 2019 with the goal of educating and empowering clients, potential clients, and our community as a whole. At these events, we bring in a panel of esteemed industry professionals to give couples some pointers in their area of expertise. Presenters will all give short 3-5 minute talks with helpful content to take away. We'll leave time at the end of the hour for Q&A, plus you'll have additional time after to hang out and connect with any pros you want.

To attend these, guests DO NOT have to have signed on with us or ANY of the vendors speaking. We believe that when we give out helpful information to improve the lives of all those looking to get married - whether they are our clients or not - that it will come back around someday. Our goal is to help better the lives of others. For ourselves and those presenting, if you do still need to fill that vacancy on your vendor team, we're of course happy to talk to you about it.

In-person WENW events include dinner options for one person or a couple. Make it a Date Night! We'll also have a DJ (of course), a Photo Booth, a cash bar, and valuable giveaways from each industry pro. Both virtual and in-person events will open 30 minutes prior giving the opportunity to enjoy some music and get settled in. For in-person events, arrive early to grab a pic in the photo booth and then enjoy dinner before and during the presentations. Come meet us and several other pros at these events and walk away with incredible info to help plan and execute your dream day!

"We're Married, Now What?!"

Join us as we host 5-10 "life pros" who will give you some great advice on married life together, whether you just got married or have been for some time. It's our way of saying thank you to our clients and colleagues for working together, and it allows us to stay connected. We also encourage you to bring a married friend or couple with you! That way, you'll have someone you know with you AND have the opportunity to meet other married couples.

Your registration to in-person WMNW events includes 2 drink tickets, AND it includes dinner on us! As we said, it's our way of saying thanks for being wonderful clients to work with! So make it a Date Night! We'll also have a DJ (of course), a Photo Booth, a cash bar, and valuable giveaways. We'll probably even work in a short trivia game at the end of the night for some prizes.

For the presenters, we'll bring in professionals such as a financial advisor, real-estate agent, accountant, insurance rep, lawyer, marriage counselor, nutritionist, etc. All with the goal of giving you some advice to live your best married life. Presenters will give short 3-5 minute talks with helpful content to take away. We'll leave time at the end of the hour for Q&A, plus you'll have additional time after to hang out and connect with any pros you want.

Both virtual and in-person events will open 30 minutes prior giving the opportunity to enjoy some music, connect with others, and get settled in. Come join us to catch back up post-wedding, as well as gain valuable advice from this panel of life pros. We know you'll walk away with incredible info to improve your life!

"Recreate The Hits"

Each year, we "recreate" the biggest songs and videos of the previous year in our own fun way. It began as a way to convey our team's fun attitude and showcase that we're a group of fun-loving, passionate professionals, who aren't high on our horse. It's grown to be a yearly highlight not just for our team, but for the dozens of preferred partners we invite to join us.

This is an invite-only event. We invite top industry colleagues who enrich both our business and lives. Maybe they send us considerable business or support us in other ways. Maybe they make event execution easy. Or maybe they just make us laugh every time we see them. Whatever the case, this is a way for us to recognize and say thanks to the industry colleagues who make our lives better.

We'll rent out a venue, hire a videographer, bring a bunch of props, then attempt to "recreate" some top songs. Oh yeah, there will be an open bar for the first two hours of the event, then it'll remain open as a cash bar. We find that helps improve dancing, hahaha!

So if you see this invite come across, we hope you'll join us for a fun night! And just so you know, you don't have to dance! You can "hide" in the background of some shots, or you can just sit down, stay out of the videos, and instead laugh at others. There's no pressure to do anything. We just want you to have fun! BUT if you do get in a video...we always send you a preview copy of the video for you to sign-off on before we post it anywhere. We want to make sure you get represented how you want as well. Come join us for what has become one of the most fun nights of the year for ourselves and our industry colleagues.
