Let DJ Ken Schaffer & his team personalize your Wedding, Private or Corporate Event! ABOUT ME

You only have ONE chance to make it right! As a full-time dedicated professional, providing entertainment for your Wedding or special event is not just a “weekend job” for me. It’s a lifestyle and something I am passionate about. I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to turn a hobby into a full-tim

e career and the business has come full circle for me. As a young teen and an aspiring DJ, I built and operated one of Philadelphia’s largest DJ companies which is still going strong today, now under the direction of two of my brothers. I now reside at the South Jersey Shore and instead of managing a large company, I returned to my roots, personally working closely with each client, doing what I love…planning and performing at special events and creating lasting memories for my clients! When I book a DJ engagement, I am committing myself to personally help plan your itinerary and soundtrack and act as YOUR DJ and master of ceremonies. You’re booking me, unless other arrangements are made in writing, and I will be the one planning and working side by side with you on your special day!. In my spare time, I love spending time with my young twin sons, Kenny & Evan. I’m also active in many local charities, animal rescue, serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, and President of the Brigantine Chamber of Commerce. Weeknights, you’ll hear me on the radio on Wibbage FM 94.3 as the full time on-air host of Totally 80s. Music is my life and my base of knowledge is diverse, ranging from the Great American Songbook and standards of the past to today’s latest hits. I’m passionate about what I do and would love to work together and make your event the best it can possibly be! Together, we’ll create the perfect soundtrack and vibe for your perfect day!

Here’s a throwback that was big in the clubs in ‘79 and well into the early 80s. Haven’t had a request for this one in years. When the right DJ aligns with the right crowd, magic happens. I’d venture to say that most of the younger DJs coming up would not only not have this, but they wouldn’t know it even existed… Dancing to Cuba by The Gibson Brothers…

Tonight’s office…  Returning tonight for an annual event as Brooklyn invades Wildwood Crest for the weekend. 

I’ve become the destination DJ for an amazing group of people who have an annual fundraiser here at Madison Resorts.

Tonight it’s a Doo W*p themed event with some special guests from the Bronx and Brooklyn.

Tomorrow night we move the party to Madison’s sister property at Harry’s at the Montreal in Cape May for a Disco themed event. Let the celebration begin…. Amazing ocean views and a fabulous resort…

It’s the small details that make a difference. Today’s couple wanted to take full advantage of the beautiful covered patio for guests who may wander outside throughout the evening. Being across the room would pose a problem for many DJs. We have battery powered speakers and wireless technology on the van, offering a solution to
virtually any request.

Tonight’s office is at the beautiful Atlantic City Country Club… Celebrating Charlie & Marie!

Charlie and I met a decade ago when he was a facilities manager at Bass Pro Shops in AC, and I helped to provide the sound, staging and lighting for their grand opening. Over the years, we’ve become good friends and when Charlie hired me to play Marie’s surprise birthday party in 2020, I told him that night that he was going to marry Marie. I’ve been the DJ for multiple family weddings since, and here we are tonight celebrating this wonderful couple!

I’m always excited and prepared for events as so much time and planning goes into each one, but this one is extra special. In fact, I was honored that Charlie and Marie picked their date around my availability this month!

No doubt, the incredibly close children of both Charlie and Marie are super excited as they’ll now officially be one family!

The amazing Tony Pontari will be playing live music for cocktails and his set will seamlessly flow into my introductions and first dance in the ballroom, then my wireless speaker will replace Tony’s music outdoors for guests who wish to enjoy the gorgeous covered patio overlooking the greens.

Tonight’s photography is by the very talented Erin McDevitt of Erin McDevitt Photography. It’s always great working with like-minded professionals.

Tonight is going to be an amazing time! Let the celebration begin!

There’s something about having options to adapt to different venues that truly makes a difference. Black and white setups, and three different styles of speakers always in the van to ensure redundancy and total flexibility. It’s all about using the right tool for the right job.

Icona Diamond Beach is home court to KSE and we love complimenting this gorgeous, coastal chic ballroom with all white equipment and typically, light blue uplighting in season to accentuate the ocean in the backdrop.

Djs Ken Schaffer and John McKernan are working together in perfect sync to ensure that sound from the beach ceremony, cocktails at Star Bar on the beach, and then the ballroom all flow seamlessly.

What a perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend. Tonight’s destination wedding is going to be epic!
