Meet Taurus DJs: Christian Felan Brings the Dance Floor to Life
There are vendors you hire, and then there are people who show up to your wedding genuinely invested in the moment. Christian Felan of Taurus DJs is the second kind. His path to the DJ booth is not a straight line, and honestly, that is exactly what makes him so good at what he does.
A Life Lived in Many Cities, and Many Genres
Christian has called Detroit, Los Angeles, Austin, Washington D.C., and now Raleigh home at different points in his life. Moving around that much means absorbing a lot of different sounds, scenes, and crowds. As he puts it, he has been all over the country and can dabble in a lot of different genres with ease. That is not a small thing when you are trying to keep a dance floor moving for guests who range from college friends to grandparents, and everyone has a different idea of what a great song sounds like.
How He Got Here
Before he was reading a crowd at a wedding reception, Christian was working the door as a bar bouncer. When his first child was born, he wanted something safer and started looking for a new path. He already knew a lot of DJs from his time in the industry, and a couple of them took him under their wing and showed him the ropes. What started as a practical decision for a growing family became a genuine craft he has carried forward ever since.
When Things Do Not Go According to Plan
If you have spent any time planning an outdoor wedding in North Carolina, you know that the weather does not always cooperate. Christian knows this too. He once moved his entire setup three times before a ceremony even started, following the planner's lead as the couple searched for the right spot to beat the incoming rain. The bride was determined to be outside, forecast and all. It did rain, Christian is quick to admit that. But he and the team got everything inside before the storm really arrived, and the day kept moving. That kind of flexibility, the willingness to just keep solving the problem without complaint, is exactly what couples need from a vendor when a plan starts shifting.
The Moment That Sticks With Him
Ask Christian for a favorite memory and he will tell you about a wedding where both families were people he had known through church for years. He watched two kids he knew grow up and marry each other, surrounded by people he genuinely loved. Near the end of the night, he played "Bohemian Rhapsody." The whole room sang along, the way people always do when that song comes on. The groom told him afterward that it was a memory he would carry forever. Coming from someone who had known this groom since he was young, that meant everything.
At Scarborough House, we love connecting our couples with vendors who bring more than a service. Christian brings a story, a flexibility built from real experience, and a deep care for the people in the room. If you are looking for a DJ who will read your crowd, roll with the unexpected, and maybe end the night with something everyone can sing at the top of their lungs, Taurus DJs is worth a conversation.
