We loved our experience with 3rd Shift DJs!! Booking was really easy and Alex, the owner, was really passionate about his business when we spoke to him to set everything up. We got...
Jason as the DJ for our event and he was incredible! I thought it was sweet of him to check in on us as during the night to make sure we were doing okay and if we needed anything. He double checked our music preferences with us. He followed our instructions exactly as we had written them and even was flexible and added some last minute song requests from us in the moment. We knew during planning that the DJ is an important vendor because they set the tone of the event and we had heard horror stories from friends about how their DJs didn't do what they asked or messed up somehow. I'm here to tell you that our DJ was perfect! Our guests even complimented how great Jason was. Alex runs an amazing business and exceeded our expectations. I couldn't recommend them more highly and would give extra stars for a rating if I could.

What a wonderful experience we had with Grant as our DJ for our daughter’s wedding.
The venue was truly a unique space. Due to the rain, we were forced to change ceremony location...
s at the last minute which made things very stressful and chaotic.
Grant handled everything beautifully! He was attentive, understanding, proactive and so kind the entire weekend. He always checked in with us to make sure he was doing what was wanted for all events. He even was able to avoid minor hiccups due to his diligence and attentiveness.
We could not have asked for a better person to help make the wedding day absolutely perfect. The two sites: the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance were awesome. He kept the dance floor filled all night and was respectful of the wedding couple’s wishes during the dance.
Thank you so much for providing an excellent DJ experience for our daughter’s wedding. We decided at the last minute to book a DJ and everyone commented what a remarkable choice we made. We would highly recommend Grant and 3rd Shift DJ’s for your next event!
Any questions?

We cannot say enough good things about Alex and his team at 3rd Shift DJs. He was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Alex was com...
municative, organized, and easy to work with, which made the entire planning process feel so much less stressful. He understood the exact vibe we wanted for the day and absolutely delivered.
The music for every part of the wedding felt seamless, from the ceremony to the reception, and he kept everything moving so smoothly. Once the dance floor opened, it was everything we hoped it would be. He read the room perfectly, kept the energy up, and made sure people were having an amazing time. So many of our guests commented on how fun the music was and how great the night felt. Seriously the best night of my life.
Beyond just playing great music, Alex brought such a calm, professional, and genuinely kind presence to the day. Weddings can be overwhelming, but he made us feel completely taken care of. We trusted him fully, and he exceeded every expectation. If you are looking for a DJ who is talented, reliable, fun, and truly knows how to create an unforgettable reception, we cannot recommend Alex and 3rd Shift DJs enough!

Working with 3rd Shift DJs was great! After meeting Alex, we knew we wanted to work with him and his team! He took care of us in getting all our logistics and song choices sorted, ...
including setting us up with the photo booth! He then matched us with Matt, who was just as helpful in the planning stages! Matt is definitely a seasoned pro and helped us make some choices that my husband and I were so glad we made in terms of organizing all of the music we didn't know we needed! And Matt did an amazing job bringing our vision to life! And to top it all off, the photo booth was such a hit with our guests! Stellar vibes on the day of thanks to 3rd Shift DJs!

We got married 11.29.2025 at the Hyatt Lodge and 3rd Shift DJs provided great entertainment. Michael was our DJ. We met a couple times before the wedding to go through the order of...
events and different songs to play. He was great and had all of our guests on the dance floor. Michael was flexible and easy going making our experience very positive. He knew exactly what to play to keep the dance floor alive. He made the wedding!
Along with the DJ, we had Aliza who was working the photo booth. She was super friendly and encouraged everyone to take fun photos. She even pulled my husband and I aside during the busy night and made sure we didn't forget to get some pictures together. Aliza was super fun and made the photo booth such a fun and easy experience.
Overall, 3rd Shift is a great choice for entertainment and I couldn't recommend them enough!

Alex from 3rd Shift DJs absolutely crushed it. From the ceremony, to the uplighting, to MC’ing the entire day, everything was on point. He’s fun, high-energy, and knows exactly how...
to read a room.
The biggest thing? There was never a moment all night where the dance floor was empty. Not once. Song after song, people were out there having a blast, and that doesn’t happen by accident.
Alex kept the day moving, kept the vibe right, and made the whole thing insanely fun without being cheesy or over the top. If you want a packed dance floor and zero stress, Alex is your guy. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.

DJ Alex was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, he was attentive, outgoing, and really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted (and what we didn’t!). We met wit...
h him several times before the wedding, about four in total, and he guided us through every decision, offered great suggestions, and made sure we felt totally confident going into the big day.
On the night of the wedding, he completely nailed the vibe we were going for. We told him we didn’t want the typical “wedding songs”, we just wanted the music we love, even with grandparents in the room, and he delivered perfectly. It was a true millennial dance floor, and our guests absolutely loved it! The energy never dropped, and he kept everyone dancing all night long.
Alex truly made our vision come to life, and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you want someone who listens, cares, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, Alex is the one!

Our wedding was so amazing, I could not have imagined it going any better. Alex, thank you so much for all the happy tears, laughter, and the most magical atmosphere. We love you!

I really enjoyed being able to use one person/vendor for music, Photo Booth and glow sticks for an extra touch during the wedding. He was on time, and everything was set up beautifully.
When it comes to the music, he knows how to get the party started! If there are any lulls, he can pivot quickly and adapt to his audience. He also incorporated games throughout, which helped get more people onto the dance floor. This was not only was a fabulous way to engage everyone onto the dance floor, but it made for beautiful photo opps.
I would highly recommend working with Alex! He helped make my wedding special, and everyone was raving about him the next day. He is also DJing at my best friend’s wedding this weekend, and we’re so excited to see him again!

If you're looking for someone who will keep the party going all night, Alex is your guy!! Even weeks later, our wedding guests still cannot stop talking about how much fun they had...
on the dancefloor. Alex was so much fun to work with throughout the planning process. We talked through the vision we had for our day, the mood we were looking to curate in each distinct music timeframe (pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner + reception), and all of the specialty dances. We ended up changing our mind on our first dance song the week of the wedding and Alex had no trouble at all accomodating. He was also able to play a custom created song for our ceremony processional, which made the entire experience feel so personal and bespoke. We opted to do an anniversary dance to honor my new in-laws and they were completely surprised! Alex handled it like a dream. While we don't plan on getting married again anytime soon, he'll be our first call for our next anniversary party. Thank you for being such a special part of our day!!

be a part of it. Your people were amazing, your food was great, the venue was perfect, and we closed it down with a banger too!
I love all the really kind words, and we are ready for the next one together. One year anniversary party?
