DOUG MCDONALD

LEAD DJ & EVENT HOST

Doug’s love for music started before he could even walk—and that early spark has grown into a lifelong passion, now spanning over 30 years. Whether he’s performing live acoustic music for a ceremony or firing up the dance floor at your reception, Doug does it all with energy and heart. A proud Clemson University graduate with a degree in Communications, Doug brings both professionalism and personality to every event.

As a key member of the PPE-DJs team, Doug isn’t just a master behind the turntables—he’s also a talented singer/songwriter. His music has been described as “an eclectic blend of raw, soulful vocals and long-lasting melodies, with a touch of harsh, broken reality.” With a sound that's both honest and captivating, Doug’s transparent lyrics and infectious melodies take listeners on a journey. No matter where the music leads, one thing’s for sure—you’re going to enjoy the ride.

  • DOUG WAS THE DJ FOR OUR WEDDING. WE WANTED IT TO FEEL LIKE A BIG DANCE PARTY AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT DOUG DELIVERED. FROM THE CEREMONY MUSIC THROUGH OUR PRIVATE LAST DANCE, IT WAS ALL PERFECT!
