A message from Owner Mitch Fortune
Thank you for your interest in our services! Over the last ten years we have become the most sought after mobile DJs for Asheville weddings because of our commitment to creating flawless events, our professionalism, and because of the talents of our DJ team. We have worked hard to set ourselves apart as wedding and event DJs by providing not only great music and mixing, but also prompt and courteous customer service, superior attention to detail, and flawless event coordination.
In creating Remix Weddings, I sought out and recruited some of the most talented DJs I could find in WNC. I hand picked these DJs to work with me not only based on their abilities as performers, but also based on their personalities and who they are as people. I have trained these DJs to be detail oriented wedding coordinators and tasteful event MC's. It is very important to understand that being a great wedding DJ is more than just showing up and playing music. A great DJ must control and maintain the energy of an event and they do that through careful music selection and mixing choices. Mastery of this ability enables a great DJ to take a crowd on a sonic journey, building the energy over the course of an event.
My team of DJs have all spent their careers working as real DJs in the hottest clubs and music venues. These DJs have all won countlesss awards and accolades for their work as professional DJs and as wedding professionals, and they are ready to share their unique skills with you and your wedding guests.
A little about me... I began working as a DJ twenty-seven years ago when I served as the DJ for my own 15th birthday party! Though I really had no idea what I was doing then, that night was all it took for me to fall in love with being a DJ. Not long after that, my friends were asking me to play at their parties, and from there things just kept growing. By the time I graduated high school I was DJing the dances at the local high schools and middle schools in the area, and I was working as an on air DJ at an underground pirate radio station. By the time I went off to college, I had put together a professional DJ rig, had learned to beat match, and had started a career I was in love with. While studying technical theatre at UNC-Chapel Hill, I paid my way through school DJing at bars and night clubs in the Raleigh Durham area, and I frequently performed at private events, opened shows for bands, and threw raging fraternity parties around the triangle.
In 2001 I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in dramatic arts, with an emphasis on lighting and sound design. I moved to Raleigh, NC after college, and continued to produce and DJ parties for high profile clients such as IBM, Winston Tobacco, GE, Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, Red Bull, and Glaxo-Smith Kline. In 2004 I moved home, to Asheville, North Carolina, to be closer to my family and the place I grew up. Upon settling in I took on a 4 year DJ residency at The Red Room, one of Asheville’s most popular 80’s, 90’s, and top 40 dance clubs at the time. Over the years, I have also appeared at most of Asheville’s most popular night spots such as Scandals, Club 11, Asheville Music Hall, and Hairspray to name a few, and have appeared at clubs all over the southeast. If you have been out for a night of dancing in Asheville, I was probably spinning the music.
Currently, I live in Asheville (Beer City USA) with my husband Jake, our twin sons Aiden and Andrew, our dog Pepper, and our cat Dos. For the last ten years I have been working full time as a wedding DJ in the Asheville area, and my focus is on creating fantastic and stylish events for my clients. Having a degree in theater, I treat every wedding like it is a show. Your bridal party is the cast, your wedding vendors the crew, and you are the star. To make the show go off without a hitch, I work with my clients and their vendors to plan every detail down to the minute, so there are no surprises, and so that once the planning is done, my clients can relax and enjoy the production as it goes on around them. When it comes time to dance, I will throw down a dance mix that will get everyone young and old on the dance floor. Over the years I have learned to read a crowd, and can walk into any room and make people get up, dance, and have fun. Isn't that what you want from a DJ?
Give me a call today, and let's discuss your event, 828-239-9903. Better yet let's grab a beer and get to know each other and I will tell you how Remix Weddings can help make your event awesome!
