The Idahoan’s Independence Day Children International Fundraiser

On July 4th, 2024, nine local DJs from Idaho Falls and surrounding areas converged on a small parcel of residential land on the west side of Idaho Falls. These DJs come from wildly different backgrounds and influences. Yet, each one of them took the time out of their busy holiday schedule to play some music for a noble cause: Children International.

Chance and Gabby Hansen Wedding - June 22nd, 2024

This past Saturday, June 22nd, 2024, I had the pleasure of DJing a wonderful wedding at The Millhouse in Rigby, ID, celebrating the union of Chance and Gabby Hansen. It was a perfect day for a wedding, with clear skies and a slight breeze adding to the charm of the picturesque venue.

I would highly recommend Chad for your next event! Chad was our DJ at our wedding in June 2023. He was so easy to work with both before and the day of. He even took one of my calls ON HIS VACATION!! On our wedding day we had last minute changes with our timeline and Chad didn’t even bat an eye! He had great communication and recommendations with both last minute changes and overall layout of events and music for the reception. Chad even MCed our reception and got our guests pumped up! He truly knows what he’s doing and it was so nice being able to trust him with such a big part of our wedding day! We received so many great reviews from our guests too. He was able to get everyone out on the dance floor- even those that don’t like dancing. I had a couple requests for mashups, and some pre recorded songs which Chad was able to put into our timeline flawlessly. Again, I highly recommend Chad for any of your events; wedding, birthday parties, graduations, etc. Thank you Chad for everything, we truly appreciate all you did for us on our big day; you went above and beyond for us!!

We had Chad be our wedding DJ and he did fantastic! Very easy to work with and super approachable. We got lots of compliments from our guests that he was easy to talk to and make song requests with. The only downside is that we ran out of time before he could play all the songs that we had requested! Would definitely recommend him as a wedding DJ.

Wow! Such great work by The Idahoan! I can’t recommend him enough. His talent really shines in the way that he is able to match the vibe of the crowd and what we were looking for! The itinerary he provided us with allowed us to customize/personalize our music tastes and also the order of operations that we wanted for our wedding! Again, I can’t recommend him enough, you WILL NOT be disappointed!

Chad was absolutely amazing! He had a difficult task as our wedding was at my husbands family ranch and it took Chad off the beaten path to get there. He did an amazing job and was set up and ready to go for the ceremony. He then drove back down from the ranch to our reception facility and continued to play and was loved by all. He played everything we asked and had ours and our guests in his best interest. Chad is very personable and did a fantastic job on interacting with everyone. I would definitely recommend his DJ services for anything you may need! Emily

Chad was FANTASTIC. He was well prepared, and everyone had an absolute blast. He provided the music for my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He worked with us to make sure we had the music we truly wanted.

Chad served as DJ for my daughter's wedding and did an excellent job. He not only worked with her on the wedding reception music, he also helped with a special request leading up to the wedding. Great job of making announcements during the reception without taking away from the reception. Just well done all the way around.

Chad did a great job. He was timely and because this was a more informal event and he was background music, he was very respectful of the occasion. Thank you so much Chad for a great evening.

DJ Chad "The Idahoan" is fantastic to work with and is a certified professional. My clients not only love his friendly and energetic personality, but he's totally in tune with what they envision for their party or wedding. He's great at putting the right songs in at the right time, and keeping everyone dancing!
