About Us | Meet the Team

   Founder, Bob Hickman, began DJ'ing while in high school in 2000.  From 2000-2020 Bob was part owner of another local entertainment company.  During those years he performed for hundreds of events including weddings, school dances, private and corporate events.

In 2011 Bob married Nicole Ditcher and since has had 2 children.  Braxton, his son, is 8 going on 13 while his daughter, Peyton, is 5 going on 20.  Their family is rounded out with their Labrador Chloe.  

In 2020 Bob decided to start Marquee Events with the vision of providing premier wedding, private and corporate entertainment.

   Bradon started his DJ adventure in 2014 after many years of playing in local rock bands and community concert bands.   

When Bradon isn’t making performing for events he’s got plenty to keep him on his toes! Bradon is a Tradesman, Percussion Instructor, Volunteer Firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician.    The only thing he loves more than performing and helping the community is his family.  Bradon married his wife Brittany in May of 2014.  They have two sons together, Jaxon and Landon, and one fur child which is Sadie their German shepherd.

   James has  been involved in the music industry, in some form or another, since he

was little.  He started out playing drums and learning several wind instruments from his

parents.  His parents then started teaching him audio and video once he was old enough 

to fit under the stage at his family’s church, Bethel Worship Center,in Uhrichsville.  

James then joined Bob in 2017 as an assistant and has grown to now not only being a headliner DJ 

but also the Photo Booth Manager for Marquee Events.

Dan Sanatore began working with Bob in 2019.  Prior to being in the DJ/Entertainment industry, Dan served in the US Marine Corps for 8 years.  His deployments included multiple tours in Iraq along with many other Middle Eastern Countries.  His tour of service ended in 2010.

Dan  initially started in the DJ industry as a basic assistant... setting up and tearing down at events.  Then... he was HOOKED!  He worked and expanded his craft and became a main DJ.  After dj'ing for a few years he went back to school to earn his Teaching Degree.  Dan is now one of the top Headlining Entertainers for Marquee Events as well as the PE and Health teacher for Strasburg School District.

Drew started his DJ adventure in 2019 after 20+ years of playing in local Hard-Rock, Country, and CCM/Worship bands as well as Event coordinating.

When Drew isn’t dj'ing he has plenty to keep him occupied! He and his wife Nicole were married in August of 2014.  Drew is a full time sales consultant in building products, Bass-guitar instructor and a hobby farmer.  They have 2 dogs, 3 Ponies, 12 chickens and 11 acres to fit it all on .

Jake has been with Bob the longest out of the entire Marquee Team.  He started out as a fill-in DJ when one of the other assistant DJs weren't available.  Eventually he moved up to being one of the main DJ Assistants on the Marquee Team.

Jake is also a IT Tech for a local IT company!
