Hi! Thanks for viewing my profile! Highly experienced mobile entertainment professional providing outstanding services for a variety of different events. Specialty in weddings, formal/informal dance parties, other private events. I truly enjoy the 'nothing into something' process that happens when I see weeks and months of planning and work , creating a beautiful environment, that reflects the mood and personality of my clients. I love playing music for people, watching them be entertained, from 9 to 89.

Being a photographer for weddings - usually the last question you ask your couples is "who is your DJ" - for Ty & Allie it was no different. They informed me that they hired DJ Steve & I was excited to meet him & get the party going for that night. I had so much fun that night with Steve & hopefully again in the future too! There was always a bunch of people on the dance floor which made my job easy to get some awesome dancing shots. PLUS! He knew how to make the bride happy with playing her favorite T Swift songs! Hire DJ Steve!!

I can’t speak highly enough about this DJ. We found him through a promotion he was running with our photographers. Our venue was certainly not easy to deal with and was trying to control the entire wedding, cut our speeches short, and was rude to almost all of our vendors. However, Chris fought for us at every turn and made sure we had the best reception experience possible. He was incredibly helpful, punctual, made sure all of our wishes came true, all of the announcements we needed got said, and made the overall experience amazing. I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty at any point during the reception, and this was definitely thanks to the high energy vibes he brings with him. I appreciated him so much for helping execute everything according to our vision and ensuring that we got our dream wedding.

DJ BrianD Is Larger Than Life Entertainment, Your Versatile DJ 4 All Occasions!! 18+ Years In The Wedding, Corporate Event, & Private Party Industry & 27+ Years Spinning Wax 2 CD’s 2 MP3’s! BrianD Began His DJ Career Packing Out Bars & Clubs All Over New England.

His Passion 4 DJ’n Transitioned 2 A Different Clientele, Although His Love 4 Entertaining Has Always Remain The Same!

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
It has been extremely difficult for us to put such a wonderful experience into words. Our experience began when stumbling upon a band, PopStyle, who we had never heard of before. After reaching out we were pleased to get a quick and genuine response back from Karl. From the first response the group clearly took our questions to heart and responded in a way which we felt comfortable that we had been heard, even after we had been forward about never hearing of them before. After deciding to go with them for the wedding night, we met in person to go over the night. Karl is a true professional and added some suggestion where we needed it and let us steer the ship as we wanted to. Ultimately we were happy and comfortable to put the night in his hands, they did not disappoint. As the wedding came around, it was clear that PopStyle knew how to perform. We received more compliments on the band throughout the night and on the impressive skill on just about every individual musician in the group. Which is something to say as more than a few of our guests have professional backgrounds in music. What struck us most was not only the raw talent and the ability to completely nail each song, but that the band itself had fun. You would never know they were not just a group of friends getting together to jam out. They danced, smiled, laughed, and even stepped into the crowd once or twice to have an epic horn or vocal solo back and forth. We will lastly say that one of our biggest complaints leaving weddings (DJ or Band) is when the musicians do not read the room and only play what they want, instead of play for the crowd. PopStyle knew how to direct the feeling of the night. Each song flowed from the last and set them up for the next set. They seemed to hit ever genre with expertise which gave something to everyone in the crowd. Our only reservations going into this was the lack of other reviews out there, given they are a newer band. We only hope that this speaks volumes to how incredible they are and comforts you in knowing you are hiring the best we have heard. We are hoping to see them live again at many weddings in the future. Thank you PopStyle, you crushed it!

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

He made sure to get in touch with me the day of wedding to confirm our song selections and how we want the day to go. He was on top of everything the entire wedding day.

My goal for your event is straightforward: to create a musical atmosphere your guests will enjoy, in a tasteful way to conserve your excellent reputation. I look to do this by curating my family-friendly music library with all genres, removing instances or entire songs with profanity, vulgar descriptions, and offensive lyrics. I want you and your guests to feel comfortable for the entirety of the event, starting with the mood music that represents your style, whether you've chosen every song or have a few key picks you want me to build a playlist around.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Kenny Fiesta as our DJ for our wedding in 2022, and he exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did he keep our dance floor packed all night, but his skills as an MC truly elevated the energy of the entire event. This weekend we attended another wedding where he worked his magic, and once again, he was off the charts! His incredible uplighting transformed the space into something spectacular, and he had everyone—young and old—on their feet, dancing nonstop. His ability to read the crowd and keep the vibe alive is unmatched. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, talented, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, Kenny Fiesta is your guy. He’s not just a DJ—he’s the life of the party! Highly recommend!

He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

Don’t trust uncle Jerry with the aux cord and Spotify playlist. Your big day deserves better. Your wedding is a celebration of your love, and the beginning of creating a life together with the person you love most. It is critical that you entrust it to a professional who will take the time and care to craft an experience that is impossible to forget. With me, above and beyond is an understatement. Music is my life, and it is such a massive honor to be able to provide the soundtrack to one of the biggest days of your life.

DJ Triplicate was so easy to work with as a fellow wedding vendor. He is professional, thorough and does an amazing job for his wedding couples!

Tiger (aka Dj Ceviche) started music appreciation lessons at the age of 3 and has continued with professional music production, performance, composition, blogging, curation, and djing for the last 3 decades. His friendly, down-to-earth but professional approach to djing has won over the hearts and ears of people across the globe. He houses a large vinyl collection and 3 cats in his studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles.

Tiger is the best DJ ive ever seen at a wedding. Ive been to a million. He can tailor the playlist hugely based on what you like and keep things fresh. He also has no issue picking the perfect songs to lure people out onto the dance floor and KEEP THEM THERE. also his cocktail hour music was soo fun and dinner music was fantastic. He's also just super flexible if you need to add songs or swap them or change up the schedule. Hes just the best energy and super funny also. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of music and will know and have any song you ever request. And if it just came out like two days ago he can quickly download it also. To sum it up, looking for a cool DJ is almost impossible, this guy is going to give you a good DJ set without any effort from you, he will just bring the party with him.
