August 13, 2025Five stars… if you’re looking for a DJ who can turn a packed
This DJ was so bad he'd ruin a silent disco and could spoil the mood at a surprise party for a lottery winner. If you want a dude who completely ignores your playlist that we spent hours on, murders the excitement, and makes every special moment feel like an elementary school talent show gone wrong, look no further. I wouldn’t trust this guy to run music at a kid’s birthday party. If bad vibes had a sound engineer, it’d be him. The cake was the only thing worth dancing for. He transitioned between songs with all the grace of a forklift in a library. Every transition sounded like two songs colliding in a dark alley as he sang on the mic with his own made up lyrics. His “crowd reading” skills could best be described as “blindfolded lawn darts.” He was asked 4 separate times to use our playlist and stop the commentary. This only provoked him and he proceeded to call my wife a "control freak" not once but twice on the mic in front of everyone. Our guests didn’t leave because the night was over, they left because of his attitude and the music made them question their will to live. This wasn’t a soundtrack to our wedding, it was a test to see how tolerant we could be. If you value your wedding and the money spent on it or your sanity, do not hire this DJ. Avoid this guy like he avoids listening to the bride, groom and the rest of our family. Adding insult to injury, he left his solar panels to his van on my in-laws lawn which burned and killed the grass.

What to expect
I working closely with the event planner, the bride and groom, and the family. I play lovely music for the ceremony, classy cocktail hour music, lovely background music for the dinner, and kick it up for the dance party. I also provide DJ services.
Solo, duet, trio, or bigger groups can be arranged.
