🎙️ It’s Just a Wedding Podcast – Live from the Pittsburgh DJ Summit

In this episode of It’s Just a Wedding Podcast, the team records live from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, wrapping up Day One of the Pittsburgh DJ Summit. While everyone is feeling the exhaustion of a long conference day, the podcast welcomes a special guest who traveled a long way to be there.

The crew is joined by Alex Reyes, owner of DJ Alex Reyes Entertainment out of Fremont, California, who flew in from San Francisco and battled jet lag and rough weather just to attend the summit. Alex shares his journey of 25 years in the entertainment industry, attending DJ conventions across the country and continuing to invest in education and growth.

Alex discusses:

• His background as a DJ and sound reinforcement specialist

• How he transitioned from analog to digital gear during the pandemic

• His experience with mixers, speakers, in-ear monitoring, and evolving technology

• The variety of events he services, including weddings, schools, and corporate functions

The conversation takes a powerful turn as Alex opens up about his work advocating for people with disabilities, sharing that he has cerebral palsy and explaining how it has shaped his life and career. He talks candidly about keeping his disability private for many years, later choosing to share his story publicly and the overwhelming support that followed.

Alex also shares:

• The influence of his late father, a former radio broadcaster, on his career

• The legacy he continues to carry through his work

• His involvement with inclusive events like the Tim Tebow Foundation’s Night to Shine prom

• His role in advocating for policy changes benefiting people with disabilities, including equal pay legislation and removing offensive language from California law

The episode closes with Alex explaining where people can find him online, addressing recent challenges with hacked social media accounts, and expressing gratitude for the DJ community and the opportunity to attend the summit.

A heartfelt, honest, and inspiring conversation about perseverance, inclusion, legacy, and doing meaningful work in the entertainment industry.
