Hi, I'm DJ Mitch Fortune
My name is DJ Mitch Fortune (yes that is my real name), and let me tell you, there's nothing I love more than rocking a killer party and making sure your wedding dance floor is the hottest spot in town.
My love affair with music started 30 years ago when I DJ'ed my own 15th birthday bash using some cheap gear and silly lights I bought at my local Radio Shack (remember that store?). From there, it just snowballed into playing high school dances, radio gigs, and before I knew it, college nights around Raleigh and Durham were fueled by my mixes at frat parties and local clubs.
Speaking of college, I actually snagged a degree in Dramatic Arts from UNC Chapel Hill, with a focus on lightin' things up (literally) as well as sound design. So you know I can create a vibe with lighting and an atmosphere that'll have everyone feeling like they're the star of the show – which, on your wedding day, you totally are!
Fast forward to today, and I've been spinning tunes for happy couples in Asheville for over 15 years. Think of me as your personal party conductor, working my magic behind the decks to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed. Every wedding is unique, so I collaborate with you to craft a custom playlist that reflects your tastes and gets everyone moving – young folks, grandparents, the whole crew!
Stylistically I mix through music quickly, hitting various decades, genres, and eras of music in a rapid fire mix show. I mix through throwbacks and classic party hits while incorporating popular bangers and songs you love, and I also throw in a few of my own surprises. I generally avoid all the cliche wedding fodder and craft a unique but entertaining show that all of your guests will find fresh and engaging.
Living in Asheville with my awesome husband Jake and our rambunctious twin boys, keeps things pretty lively outside of weddings. But when it comes to your big day, my focus is 100% on making it an unforgettable celebration.
So, if you're looking for a DJ who can keep the party jumping and ensure your wedding is epic fun, let's chat! Shoot me a message and we can talk about how to make your dream dance floor a reality.

If my wedding was prom, Mitch would have been voted King. Every single person I spoke to literally gushed over him. How amazing the song selection was, how sick the setup looked, how they were blown away by the lights. I personally loved speaking with him as he felt like a friend through the process
