Reviews for DJ Chris Poynter
Top DJ in Victoria
We hired him for our wedding Thanksgiving weekend 2017 in Victoria, BC and found him very professional, friendly, and prompt in his responses.
On the day of, his setup and cleanup were swift and on time. During the entire evening he read the mood well and changed the music accordingly, transitioned between songs so there was never a quiet moment (except when it was needed), read cues really well, and went above and beyond just playing and helped out with some music for some of our speeches as well as our other events.
There is absolutely nothing that we did not like about him or his service, and would 100% recommend.
