First of all, being the CEO/President of SEH Entertainment, I personally want to thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I started my career in the entertainment business back in 1986. I have hosted hundreds of events ranging from Weddings to private parties and everything in between!

In 1991 I worked for a theatrical supply house, where I learned about stage rigging and lighting. I was a stage hand for eight years. The entertainment business was in my blood. From there I continued to DJ, getting more involved with weddings and customer relations. In 2001, I started entertaining at more Weddings and Bar/Bat-Mitzvahs averaging 150 shows annually and recognized as one of the best entertainers in the Capital District. I pride myself as being, experienced, professional, energetic, and proud of what I do, Entertain!!

I am also known as being an Interactive DJ that will make sure everyone is having a great time whether you enjoy watching or you like to dance. Being an interactive DJ, I am able to teach a number of popular dances, implementing games and activities during the event to involve your guests. Seeing people having a great time on the dance floor is what it’s all about!!

On the day of your special event, I am set-up and prepared at least one hour prior to the start of your event. If your guests begin to arrive early, I will start at no extra charge. Towards the end of the event, if you choose to extend your time, I am willing to continue as well. I want you and guests walking away saying what an unbelievable night!!!!!

Ron PriorRon Prior brings over (2) decades of DJ entertainment experience to his new professional home at SEH Entertainment. Ron has served as musical host for hundreds of wedding receptions since the mid-nineties. Additionally, Ron has performed at many Bat/Bar Mitzvah celebrations, private parties, and countless corporate functions alike. Ron has garnered a reputation as an enthusiastic, ultra-professional performer who skillfully blends the right mixture of music and entertainer interaction to ensure your special occasion is a raving success!

Ron’s love of music at an early age served as the catalyst for his future DJ career as he began “spinning the jams” for various fraternity functions on the campus of his alma mater, Union College. Shortly after graduating in 1992, Ron began performing at picnics, private parties, and eventually weddings. With little or no marketing efforts, Ron’s schedule began to fill quickly just by word-of-mouth referrals from a sustained track record of highly successful events. The ensuing years of performing and honing his craft took Ron to long-distance destinations such as New York City, The Hamptons, Lake Tahoe, and Montreal just to name a few.

Ron looks forward to bringing his passion and extensive experience to the SEH Entertainment organization. If you want to achieve a classy and fun event with the perfect mix of music and interaction that your guests will be talking about for a long time to come, then DJ Ron Prior is the perfect choice for your special occasion.

Chas Giknis – Professional Disc Jockey

I have been a DJ in the local area since 1986 and have done everything from private parties to lavish weddings. I love what I do and am interactive at every event. I will travel anywhere and have all types and styles of music from the 1920s to all current artists. I am fully insured and I KNOW I can make your special event a memory to last a lifetime!

I do Weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, birthdays, anniversaries, school events, resorts, private parties, corporate functions, and karaoke

In the previous years I was a regular at my brother’s nightclub so I acquired a large range of music knowledge even before I first performed. I have seen the music industry from records to tapes to CDs to computer. I used all of these. I tailor all of my events to the client FIRST. I am happily married to my wife Lisa and I have a teenage son Charlie and currently reside in Diamond Pt NY.
