Owner & Lead DJ — SEK Productions
Chris DiNardo
South Jersey’s Wedding DJ
The Person Behind the Booth
Chris DiNardo started DJing at 16. Not as a hobby. As a career decision — made early, committed to fully, and never abandoned. He spent his early years training with some of the most respected DJs in the Philadelphia and South Jersey market, studying music theory, crowd psychology, and the mechanics of what makes a room actually move.
By his mid-twenties he had performed at weddings from Philadelphia to San Juan, Puerto Rico. He had developed what he calls “the formula” — a way of reading a crowd, building energy, knowing exactly when to bring the room to its feet and when to pull back and let a moment breathe.
In 2011 he founded SEK Productions — South & Entertainment Kings — and built it into one of the most reviewed and trusted wedding entertainment companies in South Jersey. Today the company carries 450+ five-star reviews across WeddingWire, The Knot, Yelp, and Google.
20+ Years — The Story
Age 16
First wedding behind the booth
Chris began DJing at 16, training alongside the most respected DJs in the Philadelphia and South Jersey market. He performed at his first wedding before most of his peers had their driver’s license.
Early Career
Philadelphia to San Juan
Chris expanded his market early — performing at weddings across Philadelphia, South Jersey, and as far as San Juan, Puerto Rico. Those early years built the adaptability and crowd-reading instincts that define his work today.
Television
My Fair Wedding with David Tutera
Chris appeared on the WE tv series “My Fair Wedding with David Tutera” — one of the most-watched wedding planning shows of its era, bringing national exposure and cementing his standing in South Jersey.
2011
Founded SEK Productions
Chris launched SEK Productions in Williamstown, NJ, built from day one around two pillars: an entertainment division and a lighting division — giving clients a single trusted team for every element of their reception.
Ongoing
WeddingWire Couples Choice Award — multiple years
SEK Productions has earned WeddingWire’s Couples Choice Award multiple times — an honor based entirely on reviews from real couples across hundreds of South Jersey weddings.
Today
500+ weddings. Still counting.
Chris has personally performed at or directly overseen more than 500 weddings across South Jersey, Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore, and the Delaware Valley — and personally trains every DJ on the SEK roster.
Credentials & Recognition
Chris’s credentials are the byproduct of 20+ years of showing up, reading rooms, and building a company around quality over volume.
Venues Chris Knows by Heart
After 500+ weddings, Chris has performed at virtually every major wedding venue in South Jersey and the Delaware Valley. He doesn’t just show up — he arrives knowing the room’s acoustics, the coordinator’s name, and the load-in protocol.
Preferred venues include The Merion, The Mansion on Main Street, Lucien’s Manor, Brigalias, Renault Winery and Resort, The Grove at Centerton, Ramblewood Country Club, Scotland Run Golf Club, and dozens of others across South Jersey, Philadelphia, Cape May, and the Jersey Shore.
Chris Trains Every SEK DJ Personally
SEK Productions is not a DJ agency that books whoever is available. Every DJ on the SEK roster is trained directly by Chris — his approach to crowd reading, MC work, timeline management, and how SEK coordinates with venue staff.
No SEK DJ performs a lead role at a wedding without completing extensive training under Chris’s supervision. This is how a company that performs at 50+ weddings per year maintains the same standard across every event.
Why this matters for your wedding
When you book SEK Productions, you’re booking a team where every member has been trained to the same standard by someone who has stood behind the booth at 500+ weddings. Whether it’s Chris himself or a member of his trained roster — the experience, preparation, and backup systems are identical.
