What makes Ray Pinnock with Dance and Joy Entertainment a good neighbor?

Ever been at a wedding where the dance floor turns into a time machine? That’s the zone Ray Pinnock lives in. As the owner of Dance and Joy Entertainment, Ray builds nights people can feel in their bones—events that move seamlessly from elegant vows to a full-on celebration without losing heart along the way.

Ray takes us behind the scenes of what it really means to be a professional DJ and producer. It’s not about pressing play—it’s about preparation, presence, and reading the room in real time. He breaks down the “full-time DJ” myth and shares the habits that built his reputation: consistency, community involvement, and craft. From showing up at bridal shows to staying active in local chambers, Ray built a 4.9-star Google reputation and a growing following on Instagram and YouTube through word of mouth and delivering every single night.

The heart of the conversation is Ray’s consultation playbook. He listens to both partners, connects with families, and maps generational tastes into one shared journey—from ceremony to cake to club. If a line dance stalls, he steps in and teaches it. If nostalgia takes over, he blends the 70s, 80s, and 90s with modern hits so the dance floor never fractures. For Ray, pacing isn’t random—it’s storytelling.

He also shares how faith and resilience shaped his path after a serious accident, crediting his wife and life group for keeping him grounded. That foundation fuels his philosophy: set the standard, stay in your lane, and give back whenever you can—even producing theme music for others in the industry. The result is a brand built on feeling, not flash, and a promise to protect the moments that matter most.
