Chris Abell is a DJ based in the St. Louis area who’s been scratchin’ and spinnin’ for half his life! He embarked on his first turntable experiments at age fourteen in his parents’ garage, in the small town of Perryville, MO. Much like the young prodigy Mozart, Chris quickly found success: as the Teen Night DJ at the nearby nightclub, Shakers! He steadily built his arsenal of gear and eventually moved to St. Louis to expand his business: the Abell DJ Company. After eight years in the local nightclub scene, including a stint as the resident DJ at Fusion, he turned his attention to wedding receptions!
“I honestly love to DJ weddings,” says Chris. “There’s nothing like that feeling when the couple come into the room and everyone stands up and goes crazy. The couple hit the dance floor, and they go into their first dance, and you have that moment where everyone’s attention is on them. And you know that you’re just a small part of that day. It goes through the whole night, making sure that you do a great job and keep the dance floor packed. And then right before the couple leaves, they come over to you and literally give you a hug. Because you helped make their night.”
Chris and his fellow disc jockeys at Abell DJ Company serve up a modern style, free of outdated techniques. This unique brand has earned the company multiple awards from Wedding Wire and The Knot. In addition to playing music, they can also MC your big night, introducing the wedding party and reception events such as dances, cake cutting, or the shoe game. They can play a personal playlist you’ve made, or they can read the room and decide what to play on the fly. Either way, Chris and everyone else at Abell DJ Company will keep your guests on the dance floor, and move the night along with energy and charisma! As Chris says: “I bring my devotion, my hopeless romantic nature, my vast musical experience, and professionalism to each event.”
When Chris isn’t in the booth, he’s spending time with his beloved wife and daughter. You can reach out to book him or one of his excellent associates at his website, www.abelldjcompany.com. There, you can also find their Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, and a sample Spotify playlist! If you want an exciting reception filled with non-stop dancing, Abell DJ Company might be the one for you.
