What dis-n-dat media group does

Dis-N-Dat Media Group LLC operates Dis-N-Dat Mobile Entertainment, a Hawaii-based mobile DJ and MC entertainment service founded in 1994 by Derrick "Spaz" Bulatao. The company provides event entertainment across weddings, graduation parties, birthdays, corporate events, and school functions, scaling from intimate gatherings of 20 attendees to events exceeding 1,000 people at hotels, ballrooms, military bases, schools, and private venues throughout Hawaii. A small core crew — including a Live Sound Mixing Engineer, On Site Coordinator/Up Lighting Technician, and MC/A-V Technician — supports the founder, with additional DJs and MCs contracted per event.

The product offering is structured as a tiered package ladder. Wedding packages range from $1,200 (MC only) to $4,500 (the Fairytale Wedding Package including DJ, MC, up-lighting, and custom motion monogram). Party and graduation packages span $1,300-$3,000 with a dedicated Project Grad package priced at $3,000 for up to 8 hours. Add-on services include LED up-lighting ($300-$500), cold spark rentals ($600-$1,000), static or motion monogram projection ($300-$500), slide show production, and live band sound reinforcement. Core technology consists of professional DJ mixing software with a library of 10,000+ music titles, wireless microphone systems, LED effect lighting, cold spark machines, projectors, and custom monogram projection systems — no proprietary software platform or AI components are disclosed.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer model with no intermediaries. Discovery is driven by a Yelp 5-star rating, Facebook and Instagram presence, the company website, and word-of-mouth referrals. Customers contact the company via phone (808-222-7729), email ([email protected]), or website inquiry form for bookings and custom planning. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and operates from a single Honolulu headquarters (1717 Mott Smith Dr. #2701) with no institutional funding, subsidiaries, or parent company.

Direct peers

• DJ Connection: Multi-city mobile DJ service based in Arizona, providing DJ entertainment for weddings and corporate events. Comparable to Dis-N-Dat in core offering (mobile DJ packages for events), target customer (wedding couples and event hosts), and tiered package-based revenue structure.
• Elite Entertainment: New Jersey-based mobile DJ and entertainment company focused on weddings, mitzvahs, and corporate events. Comparable to Dis-N-Dat as a regional mobile entertainment provider serving similar event types with package-based pricing and value-added event services.

Others

• The Knot Worldwide: Parent company of The Knot and WeddingWire, the dominant wedding planning marketplace. Acts as an enabling channel for vendors like Dis-N-Dat rather than a competitor, but its scale and vendor relationships shape demand and competition across the wedding industry.
• WeddingWire: Wedding vendor marketplace connecting couples with DJs, photographers, venues, and other vendors. Functions as a customer acquisition channel and competitive benchmark for Dis-N-Dat, since couples use WeddingWire to compare mobile DJs in Hawaii.
• Thumbtack: On-demand local services marketplace covering event entertainment, including DJs and MCs. Serves as an alternative lead-generation channel and a competitive venue where local DJs compete for event bookings, directly relevant to Dis-N-Dat's customer acquisition strategy.
• The Bash (formerly GigMasters): Event vendor marketplace for booking DJs, MCs, and entertainment providers. Comparable to Thumbtack as a lead-generation channel where Dis-N-Dat's competitors actively market to wedding and event customers.
