History

Established in 2005.

Starting in planning, hosting and DJing university club gatherings in 2005, I soon started doing weddings. Then in 2008 I was recruited for a job as a youth and young adult leader in as the Director of Large Event Coordinations, where I oversaw band development, marketing strategies and design, planning and executing all elements of event cohesion, and creative set up. Praise reports came back as 100% improvement! I was soon bounced around the company to do the same for several branches. Throughout this entire time dating back to college, I was lead vocalist and band leader for several teams, giving me a special edge on performance and stage presence, effectively positioning me to be a successful DJ and wedding singer! In 2010 Raise the Barr DJ services was born, and in 2012 «services» was dropped to become Raise the Barr DJ & Photo Booth. Building a one of kind booth was just the latest on my creative me endeavors. I am launching my a new service as wedding and event planner!

Meet the Business Owner

James A.

Business Owner

Most of my path is mapped out in the history of the business, since the history is me! I’m a husband, father, student, current Mr. Mom, volleyball and soccer coach, and part time singer. I grew up in Florida, spent high school in Boulder, CO, returned to Florida and did a couple years at FSU, then headed north to Maryland for a job in youth leadership, event coordinating, and marketing design. After meeting my lovely bride we headed to do collegiate leadership with the same company at USC (SC) for a final year. In 2012 we moved to Kansas and started a family, where I returned to school at KU and the business took a quick rise in success! Now planning and offering photo booth rentals, Raise the Barr DJ & Photo Booth (and planning: name TBD) is flourishing and bringing smiles to happy celebrators everywhere!
