Go Beyond DJ Entertainment With Full-Service Kids Party Planning.

Large-scale family event experience

Parents usually ask

Kids Party FAQ

What makes Smile & Spin different from a normal DJ?

Ian is not limited to playing music from behind the booth. The interactive package is built around participation—games, contests, dancing, shoutouts, prizes, and direct engagement with the kids.

Can Ian help plan the kids party too?

Yes. Ian can help plan the entertainment side of the party, including the activity flow, age-appropriate games and contests, music, special birthday moments, and how the different parts fit together. It is focused kids party planning rather than full-service event planning.

Is the music clean?

Yes. Smile & Spin specializes in clean, age-appropriate entertainment. Music can also be customized around your family's preferences.

What ages are a good fit?

The experience can be adjusted based on the age group, number of kids, and type of event. Send the age range when you inquire so Ian can plan the energy appropriately.

Can Ian do school and church youth events too?

Yes. The same interactive skills work well for school events, church and youth gatherings, family nights, community events, and other group celebrations.

Do you travel outside Tyler?

Yes. Smile & Spin serves events throughout East Texas. Send the event location when you inquire to confirm availability and any travel requirements.
