At The Sixpence, we believe the right vendor team can transform a beautiful wedding into an unforgettable party! This month, we’re celebrating one of the people who does just that time and time again. Meet DJ Lockstar, our Preferred Vendor of the Month for July.

Fred has been part of many events at The Sixpence, and his presence is always a highlight. He brings more than a playlist, he brings an energy that lifts the entire room. Whether it’s setting the tone during a ceremony, creating a seamless flow from cocktail hour to reception, or keeping the dance floor alive until the final song, Fred knows exactly how to read the crowd and deliver.

One of the things we admire most about Fred is his attentiveness. He doesn’t treat weddings like a one-size-fits-all occasion. He takes the time to understand each couple’s vibe, preferences, and priorities. The result is a completely personalized DJ experience that reflects you: the people being celebrated.

Widely recognized as one of the premier DJ personalities in the Midwest, Fred is known for his unmatched professionalism, consistency, and high-caliber performance. His philosophy is simple: the results speak for themselves. Every event he takes on is approached with intention, precision, and a commitment to excellence.
With a background in music production, radio broadcasting, event hosting, and wedding coordination, Fred brings a deep understanding of how to craft meaningful and memorable experiences. His premium DJ, MC, and music coordination services are designed not just to play music, but to elevate the entire atmosphere of your celebration.
