Welcome to the official blog site of Tim Schaver, Owner and President of Black Tie Entertainment Inc. Thanks for stopping by and check back often!
My wife Robin and I own and operate Black Tie Entertainment Inc. We help our clients create incredible and unforgettable wedding receptions and other events. The very first time I deejay’d for a public performance was in the early eighties. A lot has changed since then! Back then I used two turntables and lots of records. Now we use professional DJ software, a computer and professional lighting systems.
Robin and Tim - Business Owners
Our company specializes in wedding receptions and specialty lighting. I have a lot of experience in live sound mixing and reinforcement. My newest pursuits are learning to play the drums and attending a class in recording studio technology. I have a lifelong background in music, having played the piano since grade school, Trumpet in high school marching band, and French Horn in concert band.
Robin and I both have regular day jobs. Robin works in a bank and I work in a law firm. Robin also has a hair styling salon in our home and she is a licensed cosmetologist.
Our company is based in the Quad Cities area of Iowa and Illinois. We prefer to work local events only, however we have traveled out of town for wedding receptions, including Iowa City, Rockford and as far away as Chicago. It’s exciting to play a key role in important family events, whether it be that once-in-a-lifetime wedding reception, an anniversary or company party. I wouldn’t trade my job for any other!
