We held our School Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat outdoors on a beautiful Friday night.
Squad the DJ was great--played upbeat, fun music to meet the tastes of all of our attendees and families(toddler through adult). Squad the DJ kept the music playing, was not intrusive into the event and made everything more fun! The DJ arrived on time, set up quickly and didn't skip a beat! We highly recommend! Thank you!
Squad was on time and had a great feel for how to keep the flow of our wedding party going while still seamlessly incorporating our playlist for the ceremony activities. We highly recommend Squad The DJ and will definitely use her again for our next major event!

Thank you for making my engagement party experience amazing!
We hired Squad the DJ for our Gatsby Party. She arrived early and set up everything. She coordinated with the performers to ensure the right song was playing for each of their three performances. Everything was absolutely seamless and she was very friendly and flexible. She made juggling a bunch of performances absolutely easy - She did all the work and we could just enjoy the party. I would definitely hire her again.
DJ Squad took a tiny list of artists from my daughter and turned that into a non stop dance party…everyone loved her. Will def hire her again.
We booked Squad The DJ for our backyard garden wedding. This was different from our original wedding plans but it all turned out perfect! Squad the DJ curated the perfect playlist and even made a remix of a song for us so that we could have some traditional songs mixed in with some of our more current favorite songs. We had a mixed cultural group of guests and she played something for everyone to enjoy. I found myself saying "yess that's my song" all through out the night. It was perfect. Good music really does foster so much joy and fun, and she understood that. You can tell she truly cared about us having a wonderful time on our special day and wanted the best for us. We were just so impressed. Booking was easy, she's super responsive throughout the planning process. Our guests have already asked us for her information and we gladly referred! Oh and did I mention she brought cordless mics! and speakers! Literally the whole package. Wonderful service. I can't say enough great things about her. THank you Squad for sharing your talent and love for music with us on our special day! Blessings to you!
