Made my event memorable!!!

Squad communicated well and prompty from beginning to end. She kept our after party going from start to finish. She read the room and switched music when needed to. She even played music to align with my Bollywood theme. She was absolutely the best and I would hire her without hesitation in the future!

Great DJ

Squad the DJ was amazing! Everyone enjoyed the party. She kept the vibe right. All of our family and friend commented on how great the music was. She asked all the right questions previous to the event. She knows how to loop one song into another. We would definitely book her again.
