Terrance lived up to the hype. Every time we mentioned we booked 985 DJs with Terrance, it was met with “oh you’re going to love him!”. His ability to read the room and select music that kept people on the dance floor was incredible. Just when ...
we thought we were tired and needed to rest, he would play a song that had us running back out to the dance floor. He was so accommodating, even when we changed our first dance song at the last minute. His website portal made the process for selecting music and creating the flow of the wedding so incredibly easy. We really enjoyed him and highly recommend booking him.
Terrance was our wedding DJ this past weekend and we could not have asked for a better DJ and experience. He was the highlight of our wedding.
We first reached out several months ago via email. Terrance was quick to respond every time and was ...
extremely helpful and accommodating with all the questions and requests we had.
The day of the wedding he showed up well before the ceremony, the music for the wedding was perfect.
As for the reception, the dance floor was bumping for the entire four hours. Terrance mixed all of the songs we requested and every one was played at the perfect time. We had so many compliments from friends and family about how fun the dance floor was.
All in all, we loved having Terrance DJ our wedding and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. 10/10.
Terrance was a huge hit at our wedding! We absolutely loved working with 985 DJs to provide audio services for our outdoor ceremony and music for our reception! He was very friendly, personable, and easy to work with. I also loved the client po...
rtal that made it easy to customize our song choices and even find song options when we couldn't think of anything! He was also able to accommodate Spanish songs for our wedding, which meant a lot to me since I am Puerto Rican. His setup was great and he really kept the party going at our wedding! 10/10 would recommend. Thanks again Terrance!
Any questions?
Terrance was amazing! He was great with communicating with us in advance, he was sensitive to our various questions and requests, and he read the crowd's energy very well and kept the party going until the end. Everyone had a blast, and we had ...

ey hadn’t been to a wedding where they danced the whole time! Jeff spoke with us a week before the wedding and we went through our timeline. He was really accommodating to last minute day of changes. I would highly recommend 895DJ for your wedding or event.
Was on time & very professional! He has a great online planning tool that is very helpful. I was able to create a very precise timeline with all of the songs we wanted played! Our guests danced all night & had an absolute blast!
Greg with 985 DJ’s was awesome! He played all of the songs we requested and was great and hyping the crowd at the appropriate times. Terrance was really great during the planning stages of our wedding! He helped me with using the music portal, ...
made some last minute changes, and even mixed a song for me so that my ceremony music was perfect! They really do care and do their best to make sure that you have a magical night!
Terrance was amazing to work with!! Our wedding was on 11/4/22 and throughout the whole process, he was always available, flexible, and patient. I had a very specific vision for music and the vibe of the night, and Terrance made it all happen! ...

night and people stayed until the very end. People keep talking about our wedding and it was a week ago already. Look forward to using y’all services again for any other dance party we decide to throw!!
Terrance was a great wedding DJ! We were able to set all of our requested songs in advance using his online portal and the entire event ran very smoothly! Highly recommend!
Terrance and Sonya were punctual, and kind! They kept the party jumpin, and were quick on their toes whenever we needed any “on the fly” music. Terrance was accommodating and communicated very well. They were inclusive and genuine, only feedbac...
k would be more inclusive verbiage added to the musical forms, terms such as “spouse” or “partner,” in addition to the traditional “bride and groom” terms to take that inclusivity one step further! All and all a wonderful team to work with, thank you for all that you did to keep our party lively and fun! We all have the blisters to prove we danced to your jams allllll day long!

DJ Terrance was absolutely amazing at our wedding at the Greystone! He had the dance floor full all night. His online music choice portal made planning very easy! Would definitely recommend!

Hi Erica!
Thank you! It was an absolute pleasure. We look forward to hearing from you for future events.
I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am that my husband and I found Terrance (and his LOVELY wife) to be our DJ for our March wedding! Not only did every interaction with him bring joy and ease to my mind, but he made it so stress fre...
e! He walks you through the music portal that you get to pick your special songs and “music vibe” for your wedding on your own schedule. He also gently keeps you on track to ensure you have plenty of time before your big day.....which made me lovingly refer to him as Papa Terrance on a couple occasions :)
Terrance also went above and beyond by creating a special music mashup for my first dance with my dad which was a highlight of the night!
I can’t say enough good things. If you have any doubt on who you need to DJ your wedding/event, literally stop searching now because DJ 985 THE best option.

Hi Laura!
Thank you! It was such a pleasure to be a part of such a beautiful day.
Can’t say enough on how great the DJ was for our special night at Paradigm Gardens. This was a tricky wedding music-wise and Terrance did an amazing job. Highly highly recommend.

Hi Darlene!
Thank you so much. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. Wishing you a life full of love and joy!
Terrance was amazing! Extremely responsive to messages, which is a huge plus when you're trying to plan a wedding. He played all of my special songs exactly when he needed to. Some of the songs weren't on his list, but he was super easy to work...
with and had whichever song I needed downloaded and ready to go. Two members of my bridal party sang a special song during the reception and he was more than willing to play the instrumental music for them to sing along to even though it wasn't on his list! I could tell that he was constantly feeling out the crowd during the reception to decide which song to play next. I would recommend 985 DJs to anyone who needs an amazing DJ to make their wedding or event extra special!

Hi Sarah!
Thank you for choosing 985djs.com to enhance your day. It was so much fun. Wishing you the very best that life has to offer.
This man and his wife are by far the best duo across the southern region! I can not thank Terrance and Sonya enough for being such beautiful people inside and out, they went above and beyond what me and my family could have ever imagined. The p...
rofessionalism and heart they put into their business and work ethic are by far the best I’ve experienced and will definitely recommend them at the highest levels! The pride put into everything they do is so rare and they always put their clients feelings and sentiment as priority. We had 3 locations set up ceremony, cocktail, reception areas and they made everything possible and absolutely perfect! We will never use another dj in life! Bday party, baby shower, just for the heck of it! We will only have 985 on our list!
