January 16, 2026Best DJ Around
We cannot say enough great things about this DJ Lutz and the incredible job they did at our Special Olympics function. From start to finish, the energy was amazing, the music selection was spot on, and they truly knew how to engage and include everyone in the room.
They were professional, patient, and genuinely connected with our athletes, making everyone feel celebrated and valued. The dance floor was full, smiles were everywhere, and the joy they helped create will be remembered for a long time.
Thank you for going above and beyond and helping make this event such a huge success. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a DJ who brings not only talent, but heart.

March 14, 2022FUN, energy, and great vibes
Delisa Darluz was AMAZING and so was Terrell her awesome sidekick. She brought the party home. She was an amazing DJ and I would use her again and again for any event. If you want your party to be fun and to be able to relax and have a great event then booked her know there is no one else you need to work with. She was very communicative through the whole process and everything in her outline was very clear. She even sent a form for me to fill out song request to make my event that special. Here's the tea I forgot to fill out the form but luckily she still brought the music she made my job easier and made everyone have a good time. One of my favorite moments was when a little girl did some karaoke with her and it was a beautiful thing to watch.

What to expect
Upon deposit, the client receives a pre-event music questionnaire. This allows me to cater my set to the theme of the event, as well as set the preferred tone. I allow specific song listings as well as favorite artist and genres and I also allow a listing of songs and genres to avoid.
I arrive to the event an hr ahead of time for setup. If setup is completed prior to start time, I often play a quick mix, playlist to entertain guests and other vendors.
