October 12, 2025Beyond Fantastic!!
A million stars for this DJ. He was hands down the best DJ we have ever had and we have had many over the years. Extremely accommodating, professional and most of all a total people person. Most importantly, he read the crowd and adjusted the music and the vibe. There was no request denied.....even the Hamster Dance. Everyone loved, Loved, LOVED him. From our 3-year-old guests to our 90-year-old guests, the compliments flowed for DJ Zul. Thank you for everything. Definitely will use again and again and again when our party season starts again next year. You made the party a memorable success.

June 9, 2026Amazing & collaborative
Kurt was an amazing addition to my party, & was incredibly flexible as my previous dj cancelled my event last minute. He was consistent with my music taste & was able to keep the vibes high with music the entire night. 10/10 recommend!
