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.

DJ Squad was Amazing!!

DJ Squad showed up to our event early and after setting up she played the perfect music.We got so many compliments because of the music she was playing. Everyone at our event had a wonderful time and DJ squad is really one of the main reasons why. We can't thank DJ Squad enough we booked her last minute and gave her such a big Playlist from so many different genres, and she by far exceeded our expectations. We definitely recommend DJ Squad and for any future events we have where a DJ is needed We will without a doubt contact DJ SQUAD.

Did an amazing job!

Squad The DJ was amazing to work with. She was responsive and patient with my million questions. She arrived on time and played until the last minute of the event. She worked with the type of music we needed. She brought everything and was ready to go. I did not have to worry about anything with her as a DJ. I highly recommend her for any events.
