Karli was an amazing addition to our wedding day! Her communication throughout the planning process was always quick and clear. On our wedding day Karli brought so much high energy and enthusiasm to her role as our DJ and emcee. She worked with our coordinator to ensure all the details for the ceremony were exactly how we envisioned. Once the reception started, she kept the dance floor packed all night long. Her music selections were spot-on for our taste. We booked Karli after seeing her in action at a friend’s wedding and she was a phenomenal addition to our wedding day. We highly recommend Karli for your wedding or event if you’re looking for a DJ who is professional and super fun as well.

We used MY Event DJ on the recommendation of another couple. Greg and BJ met with us and planned everything so we didn't have anything to worry about. Nothing was missed, and I even changed a few things on the fly.... no problem. Use them, they are great, and reasonably priced.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism. Service that goes above and beyond. One on one attention with time, care, and empathy. “Don’t let a cheap wedding DJ happen to you”

This guy really blew my mind! Very professional, and reasonable with the pricing. He got a lot of information from me about what we wanted, and what kind of performance we would like. Kept the party going, and is funny to boot! Man should be doing bigger shows, a lot of talent! I would definitely hire him again.

The Music Diva was the perfect DJ for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Brittany was fast and professional in her communication, which put us at ease during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she was kind, respectful, and fun to work with. Brittany did an amazing job of lightening the mood and playing a great mix that even the children loved. She went above and beyond, even coming to help with my veil when it was trying to come out during my walk down the aisle.

Born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. DJ iamchase is not just the #1 Celebrity Dj in West Michigan. He is also a Tour Dj, Record Breaker, and a Host. All while DJing Weddings, Corporate events, Concerts, and Night Clubs.

Our Dj, Terrell, did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding. He announced everything well, communicated with our wedding coordinator and the other vendors, played our requested song list, and consistently checked in on my (new!) husband and I throughout the evening to see if there was anything that he could help us with. On our song list, we noted that we didn't want any country music played (unless it was a specifically requested song), and when one of our guests asked him to play 'Cotton Eye Joe', Terrell even came up to me and asked me if it was okay because he wasn't sure if I considered that country music! Overall, we are VERY happy with terrell! My husband and I would definitely recommend to other couples who are planning a wedding!
