DJ KJ absolutely killed it!!! We had a unique multi floor venue where sound was needing in more than one place and he did an amazing job making it work. We had some small hiccups with speeches/ the microphones but I think that was more of us not knowing how close to hold the mic while we speak. There were a few changes throughout the day on my part and KJ was amazing at adapting and pivoting to what I was wanting. As far as announcing goes, he did a fantastic job with names and bringing the energy. As the night went on, he truly read our crowd and figured out what songs our group enjoyed and he did an amazing job at that. We got raving reviews from all of our guests about how great the DJ was. Thank you for making our day even more special!!! Highly recommend!!!

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

A few days before our wedding, I got a message from Al saying our DJ had COVID and that they were going to send someone else. I was super bummed because I had loved our original pick (DJ Marcus) who did a fantastic job DJing our friends wedding in 2021. The replacement DJ (DJ Jose) called us right away to review all the details of the night with us. I was still hesitant, but was beginning to feel more comfortable during the conversation. On wedding day, DJ Jose was kind, professional, punctual, and ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT on the dance floor!! No one sat down for the entire night and guests are STILL raving about DJ Jose! Many guests have even requested Jose's song selections for the entire day (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) because they loved it so much!

The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate.

There's something authentic, warm, and alive about acoustic finger style guitar. I'll never forget the first time I photographed a wedding where Jim played. His smile was as infectious as the music. Since then I've gotten to know more about Jim's solo guitar work as well as the Jasmine + Perona duo where he's accompanied by his (soon to be) wife on vocals. Give them an audition and bring some authenticity to your event.
