What Mike Hogan does

Mike Hogan Productions, doing business as Entertainment at Large and operating under the legal entity Mike Hogan Enterprises Inc., is a privately held mobile event entertainment company founded and operated by DJ Mike Hogan. The company provides professional disc jockey services, stage emcee hosting, benefit auctioneering, interactive game shows, audio-visual production, and event lighting design for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations primarily across San Diego County, California. The firm operates at a small scale, with firmographic data indicating approximately 10 employees and a single named principal (Mike Hogan) functioning as both founder and primary service provider.

The service portfolio centers on DJ entertainment augmented by complementary production capabilities — including A/V equipment, up-lighting, gobo pattern lighting, and themed game show formats — that are typically bundled into per-event packages. Notable enterprise customers include Intuit, Booz Allen Hamilton, Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma Services (multi-year relationship), the USS Midway Museum, Million Air, and Luna Events, while consumer wedding clients represent a primary demand segment. The company maintains relationships with premium San Diego venues such as Hotel Del Coronado, Lodge at Torrey Pines, Bali Hai Resort, La Valencia Resort, Coasterra, and the Air and Space Museum, which function as both event locations and referral channels.

Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements priced per event, with no publicly disclosed pricing or contracted recurring revenue. Distribution occurs via direct channels — website inquiries (mikehoganproductions.com), phone (619-884-2406), and email — supplemented by organic social media presence on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Yelp reviews, plus venue-driven referrals. The business shows no institutional investment, parent company, subsidiary structure, or technology platform beyond physical event production equipment, and there is no evidence of software products, AI/ML systems, or data assets.
