10/10!! A DJ can either make or break the vibe of a wedding, I can not say it enough how happy my husband and I were to have Chris as our DJ!

A DJ can either make or break the vibe of a wedding, I can not say it enough how happy my husband and I were to have Chris as our DJ!

During the planning process, he was quick to reply to emails/texts and flexible to scheduled meetings. He walked though our timeline and gave his educated opinion on songs and when I should walk down the aisle.

When Chris arrived at the venue he was dressed very fancy and suited the vibe of the wedding! He immediately recognized my husband and took the initiative to confirm the timeline/details, and coordinated with the officiant.

Throughout the night, he was amazing, and friendly to all our guests! He respected our do not plays and played any song my husband or I asked. He helped our first dance singer set up and gave him a better microphone. He even acted as our photographer for a couple late night group shots.

I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone! Thank you for making our day perfect!

Amazing and fun wedding DJ!

Chris is awesome! He did our wedding in July. He took care of everything, and kept us in the loop with multiple zoom calls leading up to the big day. He makes the process super fun and easy! From ceremony to reception the music was perfection, no awkward silences. He had everyone dancing all night long. He is also super kind and easy going. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic!

Chris was amazing! We've seen him before at other weddings and knew we needed him for ours! He was amazing leading up to, during, and after the date, and really helped to relax us through the entire process. He made sure everything ran smoothly and the website he used to help us set everything up made everything so much easier - it helped give suggestions of popular songs that were used for different moments, which we found very helpful when we had trouble choosing.

If you're shopping around for your event then stop looking and just go with Chris, you will be more than happy and have a great time!

Amazing DJ!

Chris helped make our wedding run smoothly and had our guests constantly on the dance floor. Chris was so helpful in the planning process offering suggestions and advise along the way. We provided him with a few must play songs and recommendations and Chris did the rest. He did a great job of playing a large mix of music that kept the crowd interested and dancing the whole night.

Positive, fun vibes all night long!!

it's hard to put it all into words just how amazing our experience was with Chris! We were so fortune to have him DJ our wedding and bring the vibes to the dance floor!! He knew how to feel out the crowd at the start of the night and then took off with hit after hit that appealed to all age groups. The dance floor was packed all night long. Leading up to the day, Chris was open to our suggestions, gave his input based on experience and really worked with us to bring our vibe and vision alive. Every song we had on the 'must play' list was played, and played at the perfect moment. I can go on.... but it was honestly such a pleasure to work with Chris. Stress-free, fun and the best choice!

Best Dj Ever!

Chris DJ'd our wedding at the end of June. We booked him about a year prior and he was amazing from start to finish! Doing multiple zoom calls with us to go over timeline, our vibe for the music we wanted and helping us make sure our sax player was all set up for our cocktail hour with speakers etc. He played such great music and did amazing mixes. Everyone loved him and a few of our guests ask for his details for their own weddings/parties! We highly recommend Chris for any wedding/party/function you might be having! Thanks again Chris, you're the best!
