Insured By Insurance Canopy

I’m Ed Altounian, owner and operator of The DJ Guy. Based in Howell, MI, I’ve been providing the soundtrack to life’s biggest moments since 2000. With over 25 years behind the decks—ranging from high-energy nightclubs and corporate stages to hundreds of perfect wedding receptions—I bring a wealth of knowledge and adaptability to every event. My background even includes hosting an internet radio show, giving me the experience needed to keep your guests engaged and informed as your Master of Ceremonies. Whether I am performing for 20,000 people at a university event or an intimate gathering of 50 close friends and family, my goal is always the same: to create an unforgettable atmosphere. Over the years, I’ve been honored to receive numerous awards, including "Best of The Knot," WDIV’s "Vote for the Best," "The A-List of Detroit," and the US Commerce Award for "Best of Howell" (2012–Present). I hold 5-star ratings on Google, WeddingWire, and The Knot, and yes, I am fully insured. I look forward to making your next event a success!

Its YOUR Day - We'll do it your way...

The Focus Is Always on You
At The DJ Guy, we believe your wedding reception is not about the DJ—it’s about the bride and groom. Our mission is to do everything we can to make your celebration unforgettable, while keeping the spotlight squarely on the true stars of the day. We go far beyond just playing music. With over 25 years of experience doing hundreds of weddings, we’ve learned how to anticipate needs, troubleshoot on the fly, and keep the evening flowing seamlessly. Whether it’s securing tent poles during an unexpected storm, rearranging room layouts to avoid catastrophies, or placing guest favors when timelines get tight, we’re behind-the-scenes problem solvers who make sure everything goes right when things get a little off.

Built on Service, Not Ego
The DJ Guy was founded on a simple philosophy: the client comes first. We aren’t rockstars, and we didn’t write the songs we play, so we don’t believe in making the night about us. We know that trust is earned, and the best way to grow is through word-of-mouth. Today, over 89% of our new clients come to us as referrals from past couples, and we are forever grateful for that trust.

Professional Tech & Clean Presentation
Back in 2007, The DJ Guy transitioned to digital, paving the way for a sleek, compact setup utilizing laptops and lightning-fast song access. Today, our mobile catalog includes nearly 300,000 songs, plus access to millions more instantly. When it comes to our gear, presentation matters. You will never see messy, tangled wires running across the floor—our setups are always clean, compact, and visually attractive. Best of all, we use premium, unobtrusive speakers for all events, ensuring incredible sound quality that fills the room without cluttering your venue's aesthetic.
