People Behind The Party

GEOFFREY SANDLER

Geoffrey is the owner of Celebrations Entertainment, a powerhouse in Southern Wisconsin’s event scene. With roots in theater and nightlife, he started spinning at Madison’s “The Bottom Line” at 18 and never looked back. After nearly a decade of Coast Guard service, where he saved lives and earned multiple commendations, he brought that same level of focus and precision to planning unforgettable events. Today, Geoffrey leads with energy, mentoring up-and-coming DJs, curating flawless playlists, and elevating everything from weddings to fundraisers. Deeply involved in the community and obsessed with the details, he lives in Madison with his family and loves cheering on the Packers and Badgers when he’s not packing the dance floor.

Dave ogden

Dave, affectionately known as “Super Dave,” brings over three decades of DJ experience to the Celebrations Entertainment team. Since launching his music journey in 1990, he’s rocked hundreds of weddings and events with a style that keeps dance floors full and energy high. Whether spinning tracks at a private party or hosting on-air for stations like Big Y105 and Today’s Q106, Dave has always had a deep love for all music genres and a knack for creating unforgettable atmospheres. He’s also managed major events and produced concert series, giving him a sharp eye for seamless coordination. Now based in Madison with his wife, daughter, and dog, Dave continues to fuel the vibe at events across Wisconsin and cheers on his favorite sports teams when he’s not behind the booth. His experience, charisma, and passion for the craft make him a standout choice for any celebration.

Andre Jackson

Andre Jackson has been lighting up dance floors since 2018, bringing raw energy and deep musical instinct to every event he DJs. Influenced early by legends like DJ Corey Lynch and DJ Puffy, Andre started out rapping before trading the mic for the decks, guided by his cousin Corey’s example. For Andre, DJing isn’t just something he does—it’s who he is. His sets are never preplanned, because he believes great music should feel like a conversation with the crowd, not a script. Since joining the Celebrations Entertainment team, he’s sharpened his skills and elevated his storytelling through sound. Whether he’s spinning at a packed venue or mentoring youth by day through MMSD, Andre is all heart, all rhythm, and all about giving his audience a night they’ll never forget.

fernando reyes

Fernando’s love for music runs deep, going all the way back to when he was just a kid messing around with DJ software on an old computer—no controller, no YouTube tutorials, just curiosity and passion. His first taste of professional production came during his freshman year, when he stepped into a real studio and realized this was more than a hobby. That spark led him to experiment with beat-making, matching the virtual controls he had memorized with the real buttons on mixers and decks.

His DJ debut came unexpectedly, when the Prom DJ backed out last minute. Fernando stepped up, took the reins, and never looked back. For him, DJing is emotional expression. It’s about reading the crowd, dropping the perfect track at just the right moment, and creating the kind of atmosphere people remember. He thrives on the behind-the-scenes work and sees every event as a chance to keep learning and evolving. These days, he still feels like that ten-year-old, completely lost in the music, doing what he loves without ever really feeling like it’s work.

Kyree Brooks

DJ Ree Maniac brings energy, precision, and a personal touch to every event he spins. With a focus on client experience and crowd connection, he keeps the night alive with curated playlists and a seamless flow that keeps guests dancing. For him, it’s not just about music; it’s about making your celebration unforgettable.

Off the stage, Kyree serves as Associate Principal at Central Heights Middle School, was named to INBusiness Magazine’s 40 Under 40 in 2023, and stays active in the community through the Urban League and Alpha Phi Alpha. You might also catch him spinning throwback sets on 93.1 Jamz. He’s proud to bring his talent and heart to every Celebrations event.

Greg ostrowsky

DJ Greg Ostrowsky has been entertaining crowds since the days of vinyl, bringing decades of experience, musical versatility, and unmatched professionalism to every event. He began his career in Marinette, WI, where he quickly became a go-to name for top-tier parties. After moving to Madison in 1989, he adapted to the changing music scene, transitioning to CDs and eventually digital formats while building a loyal following.

Greg is more than just a DJ. He’s a trained emcee, a former pastor turned wedding officiant, and a seasoned speaker with a sharp eye for the details that make events unforgettable. During the week, he works in instructional design and training for the public sector. His playlists blend everything from Motown and Zydeco to 80s pop and modern hits by artists like Chappell Roan and Dua Lipa. With Greg behind the booth, your event is in expert hands.

Jessica scalissi

Jessica Scalissi brings a sharp eye for detail and a background in marketing and event management to the Celebrations team. A Verona native and Madison College graduate, she has spent years in the hospitality industry, where she mastered the art of creating seamless guest experiences. Her love for events runs deep, and she brings both professionalism and warmth to every celebration she helps bring to life.

When she’s not working behind the scenes, Jessica is soaking up time as a new mom, shopping for the perfect find, or heading to concerts. At home, she’s happiest hanging out with her two golden retrievers and enjoying the everyday chaos that makes life full.
