Professional DJ Services & Entertainment Consultation
Although Exceptional Event Productions is a fairly new entertainment company in the Arizona area, it's owner and primary entertainer, James Mennes, is not. Born and raised in Arizona, James has been in the DJ industry for more than 10 years. At 30 years old, it is ironic to call him an 'old pro' or a 'seasoned veteran', but his performance resume and industry credentials rivals many DJs that are 10 years or more his senior. His performance background originated when he began choral and vocal training at the age of 8. As he grew, he branched out in to the realms of acting, public speaking, and musical theater.
His professional DJ career began in 1998 when he was hired just weeks after graduating high school. James has worked for some of the most reputable and award-winning companies in Arizona. As a result of his involvement with such great organizations, James has performed at well over 700 weddings as either a Disc Jockey or Master of Ceremonies and has been a part of more than 1000 events as some form of entertainment.
His style, talent, and attention to detail have caused clients all over North America to hire him to perform far from his normal Arizona territories. James has traveled to perform in cities such as Chicago, Dallas, El Paso, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Southern California. He as also had the good fortune to entertain in places like Jamaica, Canada, and Mexico. James has performed for professional athletes from the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL as well as other famous musicians and entertainers. He has also had the opportunity to perform with and for organizations such as Disney, Make a Wish, the American Heart Association, The American Cancer Society, many Fortune 500 companies, and local, state, and national government agencies. He has performed at events with media coverage and one of the couples that requested his services as a DJ and MC, were the subject of a 'reality TV' wedding episode.
In addition to his performances, James is also active within the DJ industry and attends industry events on an annual basis. He is also an advocate for Professionalism, Quality, and Education within the Disc Jockey world. As a result, he has pursued certification as an Instructor for the Florida Academy of Mobile Entertainment. FAME is one of the few nationally and industry recognized training and education programs for Mobile Disc Jockeys. James is one of 8 instructors for FAME.
James is an active Disc Jockey and entertainer, performing at over 100 events per year. He can be seen regularly at Sandbar Mexican Grill and Cantina in Scottsdale where he is the Thursday Night house DJ.
