The problem we solve
Your Child’s Party Shouldn’t Feel Like a Work Shift.
There are a lot of moving pieces behind a memorable birthday: choosing a theme, planning activities, buying and setting up decorations, building a playlist, deciding what happens next, keeping a room full of kids engaged, and making sure the birthday child gets a moment that feels special.
Smile & Spin can take over the entertainment plan and, for full-service packages, help coordinate the party setup and décor too—so you are not trying to host, troubleshoot, cue music, run games, and take pictures at the same time.
- Theme and party-flow planning
- Décor direction, setup, and teardown based on package
- DJ entertainment and professional sound
- MC/party hosting and announcements
- Games, contests, dancing, and activities

What Ian can take off your plate
From “What Are We Going to Do?” to a Party With a Plan.
The exact scope depends on the package and theme, but the planning process can bring the major pieces of the celebration together under one clear entertainment plan.
Party Flow
Map out arrivals, games, dancing, food or cake moments, special announcements, and the birthday spotlight so the celebration has a natural rhythm.
DJ Entertainment
Clean, customizable music, professional sound, party lighting when included, and an entertainment plan that matches the age group.
MC & Party Hosting
Ian can guide the room, make announcements, introduce activities, lead transitions, and keep the energy moving without leaving the parent to run everything.
Games & Activities
Age-appropriate games, contests, dance moments, challenges, and interactive activities built around the kids who will actually be there.
Birthday Spotlight
Create a memorable moment that makes the birthday child feel celebrated instead of letting the big moment get lost in the schedule.
Why Smile & Spin
The Planner Is Also the Entertainer.
A normal party planner may organize the schedule and vendors. A normal DJ may play music. Ian’s advantage is that he can help design the entertainment plan and then personally step into the room to execute it.
He has experience engaging children directly, leading dance-floor energy, working family and church events, and helping large groups stay involved. That means the plan is built around what he knows he can actually bring to life.

Why the price is different
This Isn’t Just Three Hours of DJ Time.
A planned party can involve consultation, theme development, sourcing and preparing décor, loading equipment, travel, setup, entertainment, hosting, transitions, teardown, and coordination before the first guest even arrives.
The premium packages are for parents who value having someone take responsibility for more of that work—not simply adding more songs to the playlist.
