3rd Shift DJs was truly incredible to work with! We had Alex DJ our wedding on August 29th, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our very first meeting, we knew Alex was the right fit for us. He genuinely cared about what we wanted our day to look and feel like, and he brought our vision to life perfectly.
Alex had so many helpful ideas and took the time to really get to know us as a couple. It was clear that he wanted to make sure every detail was just right for us. Our biggest request was to have the dance floor packed and full of energy until the very end of the night and he absolutely delivered! The dance floor was full all night, and the music was amazing.
We received so many compliments from our guests about our DJ, especially about how Alex was actually DJing and reading the crowd rather than simply pressing play and letting entire songs run. He kept the energy going, mixed everything so well, and truly made the night unforgettable.
Alex was also incredibly attentive and was always there if we needed anything. We truly can’t say enough good things about 3rd Shift DJs and our experience with Alex. He went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple getting married!
We had Alex from 3rd Shift DJ’s DJ our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with him! He was so receptive to everything we wanted and incredibly flexible throughout the whole process. He listened to our vision, was easy to communicate with, and made everything feel completely stress-free.
The music and energy were exactly what we wanted, and he did such a great job reading the crowd and keeping the night moving. It really felt like he cared about making our wedding exactly what we wanted rather than just doing the standard wedding routine.
We’re so glad we chose Alex and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding! 🎶🤍
