"My cousin's buddy is a DJ . . .when he isn't landscaping.
He's really cheap!"

Aren't all Mobile DJ's the same? The answer is absolutely NO!
Being a great DJ is not a cloneable profession!

Let's face it, being a great landscaper isn't a cloneable profession either! A dejay is a special mixture of an uptempo interactive personality, coupled with maturity, technical expertise, experience, and a love for people and music. Not everyone has this gift. If they did, shopping for a jock would be a lot easier. It takes years to cultivate this talent. Bernie Howard is a full time professional disc jockey who is internationally known, respected, and often quoted in DJ Times, Mobile Beat magazines. Most recently, Bernie has been inducted as the 5th inductee into the America DJ Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, NV.

Bernie Howard has the recipe for successful parties. He isn't going to learn to be a DJ at your event. He gets to your party on time and will make it happen. Fully insured, a member of the Mobile Entertainer Guild of America (MEGA), the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), and the American DJ Association (ADJA), Bernie Howard provides non-stop dance music, plus the assurance that you've hired a seasoned professional. If you have any questions related to our packages or any of our products, please contact us at 847-509-8887 or bernie@berniehoward.com.
