There’s no one better!! My husband and I were planning a celebration in Hoboken for the fall of ’24 and when it came time to book our DJ, I knew that I wanted to book with 4AM with...
out question. Having worked with Madison + Janice before (I work in hospitality + events), I already knew that they are the absolute best at what they do and would match us with the perfect DJ. That they did, and soon we were connected with DJ TRE, who’s an absolute ray of sunshine + KILLER DJ. When certain circumstances forced us to rethink the wedding location and cancel the Hoboken event, we needed to regroup and change our original plans. We eventually decided on a smaller, intimate event in Malibu, and the 4AM team was BEYOND accommodating and understanding and we were so grateful to learn that TRE could DJ for us on the West Coast! Tre was incredible on our big day and kept our friends and family grooving all day – she provided the perfect soundtrack to the most spectacular Malibu day. We had a relatively specific preferences that weren’t necessarily typical wedding fare and she totally understood the vibe. We really could not be more grateful to TRE and the entire 4AM team for their help in making our big day a massive success.

We cannot say enough amazing things about working with Jay Bonax. From the very beginning Jay was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in maki...
ng our day perfect. Leading up to the wedding, he made himself available for multiple prep calls, walking us through every detail and making sure he fully understood our vision.
On the wedding day itself, a few timing issues (non dj related) popped up, as they often do, but Jay didn’t flinch. He handled everything with total precision and kept the energy flowing seamlessly. His ability to read the room was unreal. He knew exactly what our guests wanted to hear and had everyone dancing the night away.
We are so grateful we chose 4am. They helped make our day truly
awesome, and our only complaint is that we wish the night could have lasted even longer.
If you’re looking for a DJ who is talented, reliable, and an absolute joy to work with, Jay is the one.

DJ Chachi is one of those rare vendors that couples connect with immediately—and for very good reason. From his easy, approachable demeanor during the initial outreach and pre-wedd...
ing planning meetings to his masterful presence on wedding night, the experience is consistently seamless and exceptional.
Whether he’s expertly driving the momentum of the reception or stepping in to elevate the celebration even further by delivering an unforgettable after-party experience, DJ Chachi has an intuitive command of energy, timing, and flow. He brings excitement and movement to a room without it ever feeling forced or over-produced—always polished, always intentional, and always a true class act.
His presentation is refined, his repertoire is expansive and thoughtfully curated, and his musical talent speaks for itself—but what truly sets him apart is the full client experience. Couples feel heard, supported, and genuinely excited throughout the planning process, and that trust translates directly into an incredible celebration.
I’ve worked with DJ Chachi on weddings for nearly a decade, and every experience has been outstanding. His consistency, professionalism, and ability to elevate an already meaningful day make him a standout in the industry. Five stars, without hesitation.

We were blown away that he had our entire party (including our late-20s music-obsessed friends, parents, and 85 yr old grandparents) dancing the entire night, even through some inclement weather. Our family and friends are still raving weeks later!! Janice and Chachi were professional, communicative, and so easy to work with - couldn't recommend this team more!

e were looking for (in our case, a night of predominantly house music & rap — after catering to the ol’timers for a little at the start of course!) When we came across Chris, we listened to one set and never looked back! Chris worked off our vision, playing lots of the things we were looking to hear and also brought to the table many of his own remixes, transitions, and selections that helped make the night one to remember for our guests! We received lots of compliments in the days following the event about our DJ, and we were very happy with our choice! Thanks Chris! We knew you'd kill it, and you certainly delivered!

We can’t recommend DJ Chris and saxophone player Curtis enough—they were incredible. Chris read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night long. The transitions ...
were seamless, the energy never dipped, and every guest had something amazing to say about the music.
Curtis brought the perfect touch of live entertainment—his saxophone solos were electric and added such a special, elevated vibe to the night. The two of them together created such a unique and unforgettable experience. It was the exact party we had dreamed of for our wedding!
If you’re looking for a team that brings energy, professionalism, and serious talent, book Chris and Curtis. You won’t regret it.

ong preferences and then read the crowd at the event like a seasoned pro. He was so easy to work with, and all of our guests raved about the music and how fun he was. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
4AM was also incredible. They met with us to help find the right DJ pairing and had multiple options that fit our needs. Once we listened to a few Soundcloud sets of the different options, we landed on Chris and the 4AM team helped coordinate our meetings, logistics, and payment smoothly. Overall, and truly amazing experience from start to finish.

ding. The music selection was absolutely perfect—everything from the romantic ceremony tunes to the upbeat 2016 party hits had our guests dancing all night long!
What really impressed me was how Chachi coordinated with our schedule, ensuring that the transitions between speeches, dances, and special moments were seamless and not stressful at all. He read the crowd perfectly, mixing in our requested songs while keeping the energy high throughout the night. Several guests told us it was one of the best weddings and after party they’d ever been to, thanks in large part to the amazing atmosphere Chachi created.
If you're looking for a DJ who’s not only talented but also cares about your personal experience and love for music DJ Chachi is the one. Thank you so much for making our wedding so unforgettable!

Prior to us even being engaged, we saw Chris Bachmann DJing at a restaurant out east and immediately grabbed his card. Our dinner turned into an entire night out because every song...
he played was just an absolute BANGER.
One year later he DJ'ed our wedding and we do not have enough good things to say about him. Our guests RAVED about the music, already asking for his contact info, and the dance floor was full the entire night. What we didn't want was a "typical" wedding DJ, and he did not disappoint. He knew exactly how to read the room, and had everyone from our friends to my grandparents dancing. The energy in that room was truly just contagious.
Finally, Curtis, our saxophonist, was INCREDIBLE. Him and Chris have played together many times - and you can tell. Their vibe was seamless and Curtis himself was so much fun. It added a whole other level of energy to the dance floor.
I cannot recommend both Chris and Curtis enough. 5 stars...6 stars...10 stars if i could.

We also hired their saxophonist for the reception and violinist for the ceremony/partial reception (who were beyond talented). Last but not least, DJ Chachi. Scott will be performing at every single event I have in the future going forward. Nice, professional, and an unbelievably talented DJ with excellent taste in music. He knows exactly how to get the crowd going, and his MC abilities were perfect and appropriate. 10 stars out of 5. Thanks again guys.

husband are huge music lovers and very into the house music scene. We had a VERY specific vision for our September 2022 wedding. No band, no corny wedding music. We wanted a DJ to play the perfect mix of 80s/90s disco and house music. We wanted our guests to experience a live DJ and fall in love with the music the way we have at so many clubs! We also had high expectations from a technical standpoint, we didn’t want a cheesy wedding DJ - we wanted someone who could mix and actually transition songs. Believe it or not it was really hard to find someone who could actually DJ but also understood how to play a wedding. From the minute we spoke with Chris, we knew he was our guy. He is so chill and completely aligned with us on music. He’s passionate, savvy, and has a great ear. Most of all he can read a room. He was willing to work with us and really got to know our music style. We sent him a playlist of songs to show him our vibe and also a “must-play” list, and when I say he played every single song we wanted to hear - he did! He even came up to me mid-wedding to make sure there wasn’t anything else I wanted him to play! He was truly a dream. He gave us the best music we could have imagined and kept everyone dancing all night long. Everyone is still raving about how good the music was, and we are so grateful for Chris!!!! We love you, buddy!

The pre wedding planning with Chris was very easy and seamless he took a lot of the stress away from us. We hired him for our ceremony music and photo booth as well. The quality of the photo booth was more than we could of hoped for with the props and backdrops and the setup. Everyone used it the whole night. The other staff working with Chris as well we’re kind and attentive with the guests operating the photo booth. I’m so happy we worked with Chris. It was a truly great experience, he was someone I trusted to just pick great songs that people want to hear. Thank you again.

We highly recommend Chris and his team if you’re looking to dance all night, have music tailored to what you ask, and an overall amazing experience that your guests will rave about for months after your wedding !

We worked with Chris to get the party started for our November 2021 wedding, and boy did we party! I knew that Chris was the right person to work with from our first call - he knew...
EXACTLY the vibe I was going for for our big day after only a few questions, and we were immediately speaking the same language.
Not only did Chris take the time to understand the music preferences and style we wanted for our wedding, he also took time to get to know us personally to understand our expectations of the day, the music we like personally, and even us as a couple. We provided Chris with a few playlists and "must plays" and talked to him about the run of show we had in mind. Chris helped us plot out what was needed for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (including intro's, first dances, etc). He even gave us some pointers and recommendations when one of the songs we picked wouldn't really "hit" for the audience. I trusted him completely because he is truly a professional!
Chris set the tone for the day for us, from the time music started for our ceremony to the time he announced the last song. The music for the ceremony was clear, and the mic's he provided for our officiant sounded amazing. He also helped coordinate a photo booth for us, and I would DEFINITELY recommend going with the mirror photo booth option if you decide to do the same! Chris got us through first dances, speeches, and everything quickly, and was on top of everything that needed to be done and announced throughout the reception. The music played during the reception absolutely blew me away. We are huge music snobs, and Chris played a little something for everyone without getting into the "cheesiness" of wedding music. He respected every single one of our requests in terms songs to avoid (ie, we requested no "wedding" songs like Shout and the like), and played many of the (SEVERAL) songs we requested on our must-plays. If you are a house head like us or are into EDM, this is the DJ for you. And if you're not, he's still the DJ for you because he can do it all!
Long story short: my guests are STILL talking about how amazing Chris was, and are even asking for recordings of his set LOL! Some of my friends have even reached out to book him for their own wedding. You will not regret working with Chris and 4AM!

DJ Chris is the best!!!!! Super professional and took all our asks into account. The Dance floor was packed all night and it felt more like being at a party than a low key wedding....
This is the vibe we wanted and the guests absolutely loved it!!!!
Highly recommend using him for any of your events.

Chris is a fun loving, up beat DJ and was perfect for our reception. He customizes all of his music to his couples. We had a call a few weeks out from our wedding and decided on mu...
st play music, a do not play list, and other details we hadn’t thought of yet (eg cake cutting music, wedding party intro music). Multiple people at our party commented on how AMAZING he was. We actually had 2 shifts for the shuttle bus back to lodging and no one took the first one because everyone was having such a great time. A good sign we’d say!
We also want to give a shout-out to Janice (events manager). She was so easy to work with, kept us on track, and had such a positive attitude and was a pleasure to work with.
Thanks 4AM!

Made a covid wedding feel like a fairytale.
Chris was amazing! Kept the dance floor alive, checked in with us throughout the night, and made our wedding reception so much fun! We ...
threw some curveballs at him that he wasn't used to, such as the way we wanted our bridal party & the bride and groom to be introduced. It was much different then what he is used to... But he rolled with it and did an incredible job! Would highly recommend Chris for a special event! He took into account everything we wanted and made sure we had the wedding of our dreams. Thank you Chris

Planning and re-planning a covid-era wedding was challenging, but Chris was a big reason the reception ended up being a success. He took all our changes in stride, and came throug...
h in the clutch when we needed some help coordinating services beyond DJ/sound/light. He also did a great job on the day of the party setting everything up and running the show. I would highly recommend him.
