Wedding guests with their hands in the air on a packed dance floor

Rochester's wedding-only DJ & emcee

We make weddings fun.

Two DJs who never take a break, an emcee who keeps the focus on you, and no overtime charges until midnight.

So much more than music

We chose to be the best at one thing.

Your guests won't remember the flowers or the double-decker cake. They'll remember whether they had fun. We meet personally with every couple to learn what you want, then our emcee uses creativity, energy and humor to charm your guests and keep the spotlight on you.

The same person who plans with you is the one on the mic that night. No random DJ, no surprises. We coordinate with your photographer and venue so the details never land on you.

We don't do high school dances, bar mitzvahs or retirement parties. Just weddings.

Meet your emcee

Hi, I'm Todd.

I've been helping couples throw unforgettable receptions since 2004. On the mic I bring humor, creativity, a little emotion and sometimes even a bit of magic, so your guests are never bored.

I meet with every couple before the big day to capture your vision and give honest recommendations. By the end of the night, your guests will feel they know you better than ever. I treat every reception like it's my own.

If you want a reception to be memorable, talk to Imperial DJ! Our family is still raving about Todd to this day. I don't recall our dance floor being empty except for dinner!

Erika & Nick

Todd is smooth and classy, a perfect mix of funny, sentimental, and outgoing. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Ariel & Jon

The uplighting Imperial DJ set up in our banquet hall made the room look INCREDIBLE. Everything was elegant, professional and VERY entertaining for my guests.

Nicki & Jonathan

I'm pretty positive he got EVERYONE, including my 93-year-old grandmother, on the dance floor. Thank you for making our day so special!

Kimmy & Ryan

I told him I wanted a packed dance floor all night long and that is what we got until the very end!
