Name: Evan Parker
Nickname: Mcfly, DJ Evan
Date of Birth: April 22, 1983
Place of Birth: Carmel, CA
Years DJing: 4 Years

Other experience: U.C Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara City College, 5+ years restaurant experience serving and bartending.

Favorite DJ moment: The hug that I received from the Bride of the first wedding I ever did on my own. It was such a beautiful night at the Monterey Plaza, with the moon rising over the bay, and they had a fantastic reception. I’ll never forget it.

Favorite Song: That is a tough question to answer. If I had to pick one, I’d say “Let’s get it on” by Marvin Gaye.

Favorite Type Event to DJ: Weddings are the most memorable, but they’re all fun.

Activities/Things you enjoy outside of Djing: I’m passionate about music. I love to play/write/record music, by myself, with other individuals, or in bands. I love playing with my Dog Tucker. I also enjoy Parkouring (freestyle running), an extreme sport that originated in France, but is quickly picking up popularity in the States.

Talents: I can play an array of instruments well: Guitar (13 years) piano, drums/percussion, bass guitar, banjo, harmonica, and most recently, The Harp. I’ve been in several bands, as well as recorded solo CDs on my own, playing every instrument on the album. I speak semi-fluent French and Spanish. And I can do a back flip anytime, anywhere.

Testimonials:

We just wanted to send a huge thank you to Evan Parker and DNA Entertainment! Evan kept our wedding reception lively and entertaining the entire time. I have never been at a party where the dance floor was packed the entire time like it was at our wedding. Also, we appreciated how approachable Evan was and how any time he needed to ask us a question or tell us something, he danced out to greet us and really blended in with the rest of our guests.

All around we had a great night, and Evan played a large part in the success of our reception.

It is amazing how one thing can make or break a wedding. Absolutely everyone was thrilled with Evan and he did a fantastic job. We had the crowd dancing from the moment is started to the end of the evening. Evan was great and I will recommend your company to anyone. Evan is all the advertisement you need. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. Thanks so much.

We are so lucky to have had Evan Parker DJ our wedding in Monterey, California! He was absolutely fabulous throughout our entire event! He was professional yet kept a party atmosphere for the entire wedding crowd which ranged from young to old. He stuck to our “play/do not play” song list religiously. He was willing to meet me the week before the wedding and greeted me with smiles and positivity even though I was late to our meeting.

He had great and appropriate song choice suggestions for the ceremony through the last dance. He was flexible when we threw last minute changes at him. He accommodated our singers with back up tracks to their solos. He was intuitive, creative and and an all around great person to work with.

Evan kept people dancing on the floor the entire wedding until the hotel turned the lights on forcing people to realize the party was finally over. I obviously would highly recommmend him as a DJ.

Also, DNA was so easy to work with. Anthony was super responsive over e-mail to set up the details previous to the event and DNA’s suggestion work sheets are invaluable in planning your song choices for an entire wedding day.
