DJ’s Available Sound and Light

What DJ’s Available Sound and Light does

DJ's Available Sound and Light is a privately held, full-service entertainment company founded in 1986 by Gene Durbano and headquartered at 319-C N. Washington Ave., Moorestown, New Jersey. The company operates a curated roster of 20+ DJs and 10+ live musicians and ensembles, serving weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Sweet 16s, corporate events, school proms and dances, private parties, fashion shows, and nightlife venues across the South Jersey and Philadelphia metropolitan area. Its core offering is DJ and MC services, augmented by an integrated stack of complementary event services including custom GOBO lighting, uplighting and special effects, photo booth rentals (with green screen and video messaging), photography, videography, live musicians, wedding officiants, and party extras. The company has also built a commercial installation business, designing, installing, servicing, and maintaining sound and lighting systems for roughly 15+ restaurants, bars, synagogues, catering halls, and event venues, often bundled with ongoing nightly or weekly DJ programming.

The business model is service-based and event-driven. Photography and videography are sold through two published tiered packages each (Photography: Package A $2,499, Package B $1,999; Videography: Package A $2,199, Package B $1,699) with disclosed a la carte add-ons, while DJ services, lighting, officiant work, and installations are quoted per engagement. Bundling is actively used as a cross-sell lever (customers buying DJ + photo + video receive a free Video Album), and a dedicated client portal supports payments, lighting color selection, and GOBO design browsing. Distribution is anchored on the three major U.S. wedding marketplaces, where the company holds The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame status (2007-2026), WeddingWire Couples' Choice Awards (2012-2026), and Best of Zola 2026, supplemented by free monthly DJ showcases at venues such as Carlucci's Waterfront, bridal expo participation, an owned website quote funnel, and a presence at South Jersey/Philadelphia nightlife venues including Hard Rock Café Philadelphia, Laurel Lanes, Splitz, 45th Street Pub, and Hob Tavern.

The company reports a 5.0/5.0 average customer rating, is a member of the International Live Events Association (ILEA), Moorestown Business Association, and Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce, and won ILEA Best Special Event in 2012. It is founder-owned and operated, with no disclosed outside investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, subsidiaries, or public-market presence in the available data.
