About
My name is Brandon Tjaden, and I’m the proud owner of Great Beginnings DJ Service. My journey in the DJ industry began when I was just 12 years old, learning the art of music and entertainment from my dad and uncles, who were some of the best in the business. Over the past 25 years, I’ve built a reputation for delivering exceptional service and creating unforgettable experiences for my clients. As the owner and sole DJ of my company, I personally ensure that every event receives top-quality performance and attention to detail.
From the moment I got my first boom box, I knew I was destined to be a DJ. As a kid, I loved recording and splicing hits from the radio onto cassette tapes, creating mix CDs, and even selling them to classmates. By the time I reached high school, I was DJing my own school dances, and at just 16, I was already DJing weddings on my own.
As a wedding DJ, my mission is to craft an incredible and memorable experience for you and your guests. I focus on setting the perfect mood while being professional, timely, and prepared for any situation. Beyond playing great music, I take pride in helping coordinate the flow of your event, so you can relax and enjoy every moment of your special day.
My role goes far beyond simply spinning tracks. I’m here to entertain your guests, ensure the event runs seamlessly, provide MC services, and even assist with planning. With the right mix of these services, I aim to create an event that not only meets but exceeds your expectations—leaving your guests talking about it for years to come.

Professional Network & Endorsements

I've experienced a lot of "DJs" at Lakeside Gardens that probably shouldn't be using that title. Brandon was a breath of fresh air! He came early and was setup for both the outside ceremony and indoor reception in plenty of time. To add a fun touch to the dance floor inside he brought moving lights. He played great music and created the prefect party atmosphere - he was even out on the dance floor getting down with the guests at one point! Besides the dance party portion of the evening I would say ANNOUNCEMENTS are almost as important. I can't tell you how many awkward DJs I've experienced when it comes to announcement making. Brandon was professional, clear and loud enough for everyone to hear when important announcements were made to keep the time line flowing along. I would recommend Brandon to my future brides. If you are looking for a FUN and professional DJ give Brandon a call!

Brandon with Great Beginnings DJ Service was very relaxed and professional. He listens to what you need for your event and nails it every time. I would highly recommend him for any event you need music and an entertaining voice. Greg (Northwest Foto owner)
