Meet Our Staff
 

Creative Sound Productions is proud of the quality of people that make our company. Our DJ entertainers are recognized by local vendor in the wedding industry and clients as top professionals.

The newest member of our staff is Amber Wilson who heads up our new Unforgettable Moments Photography division.  Her love of people, and ability to capture the spontaneity of family and friends enjoying the moment is amazing and unique. Amber is fully accredited photographer and graduate of Hawkeye Community College.

The combination of DJ entertainment & photography is revolutionary and practical, because of the unique synergy created by the familiarity, and great working relationship between entertainer and photographer, we are able to provide our clients with photographic memories that would not be  easily created any other way.

Creative Sound Productions looks for charismatic individuals, usually with previous experience in acting, public speaking, exceptional knowledge of music, and able to work with a variety of clients, vendors, and personalities. Because of the variety of tasks that outstanding DJs provide, we encourage our entertainers to become fully accredited bridal consultants, and members of the Association of Bridal Consultants.
