About MEMORIES IN MOTION Music and Entertainment

MEMORIES IN MOTION Music and Entertainment is owned and operated full-time by DJ Entertainer Shawn Steele. Shawn has been in the entertainment business most of his professional career, and is the region’s principal specialist in the field of weddings and entertainment. His passion for music and entertaining started at age 15 when he played music for his friends and family at parties. His fascination with making people laugh and have a good time grew, and his friends and high school Guidance Counselor fueled the passion by encouraging him to become a professional DJ. Subsequently, he attended Edinboro University and received his Bachelors degree in Communications. He was awarded a graduate assistantship, and went on to complete his Masters Degree, also in Communications.

While attending college, Shawn got his start in the Event Planning and Entertainment Industry in 1990 working for JET-FM 102 (WJET) as a DJ and Promotions Assistant. He simultaneously worked at Edinboro University’s radio station (WFSE) as a DJ and a Production Assistant. He then went on to work for Classy 100 (WXKC) in 1995 as a DJ and Co-Promotions Director. His skills grew on the radio, but the promotions are where his entertainment skills, showmanship and attention to details developed. After repeated requests for Shawn to perform at private events outside of radio, MEMORIES IN MOTION Music and Entertainment was born in 1992.

Shawn received several referrals from his first wedding reception, making the response overwhelming. When word spread about his performances, people sought Shawn out for his unique talents. Since then he has worked with many celebrities, couples, families and professionals. Shawn’s attention to details helped arrange “Meet and Greets” with such celebrities as Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, Damn Yankees, Winger, Nelson, Bruce Baumgartner, Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne just to name a few. He has also performed for hundreds of couples and families, making their events unforgettable, fun and one of a kind. Most notably was the “Wheel of Weddings.” It was a huge promotion where local couples got married on a huge, brand-new Ferris wheel installed at Waldameer Park (Erie, Pennsylvania). The winning couple received the wedding of their dreams which included Shawn Steele as the DJ. For over 10 years, Shawn’s unique programs of music and games have helped many event planners and companies like T.G.I. Fridays, Wendy’s, The LORD Corporation, Alliance Plastics, Renal Care, The Avalon, Z-102, Classy 100, Country 98, and GE make their events successful and memorable!

For many years, MEMORIES IN MOTION Music and Entertainment has been the choice of brides and event planners across the tri-state area (Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio). Shawn’s calendar quickly fills with referrals from other wedding couples and corporations. If Shawn is not available for a date, he has several other recommended DJs to choose from. It is not uncommon for an event to be booked up to 3 years in advance, making his team some of the busiest DJs in the area. It is best to reach Shawn at least 4 to 12 months in advance to secure a contract. If you have any questions, please check out our Frequently Asked Questions page.
