Carly & Jim Shomo

Carly & Jim are one of our husband and wife teams. Being married themselves, they know first hand how important your wedding day will be. They enjoy meeting with the bride and groom prior to the wedding day to discuss the details of your reception. With a special emphasis on interaction, they will delight your guests with their fun outgoing personalities and optional prop packages. With 10 years of formal dance experience, Carly enjoys participation dances and will even offer to instruct your guests with various group dances. Carly completed her schooling and received her Diploma to become a Certified Professional Bridal Consultant in 2003.

As a team, Carly and Jim have just over 8 years of wedding experience and they have been affiliated with our company since 2000. But Jim's DJ experience reaches back to the 80's while he was attending I.U.P. Specializing now with wedding receptions, you can still find Carly & Jim at a few local proms during the Springtime. Operating a Theatrical Lighting Service, Jim has been designing local High School Musical productions since the early 90's. For those who enjoy the razzle dazzle, their optional lighting effect packages can make your reception come alive with color. Several special effect packages are also available to personalize your reception.

Utilizing two lap top computers, Carly and Jim provide the latest in music technology. Their music library consists of the traditional CD's along with MP3's. Their song listings are data based on the computer, allowing them to quickly find your requests. Although their standard wedding system is more than adequate to handle your reception, they also have club and concert sound systems available for larger venues.

Carly & Jim's fee for a wedding is $795.

Lighting available upon request

Please call to check on their availability for your special day.
