researched DJs before hiring, looking at reviews. My husband and I decided on 985 DJ. We explained our music interests (which was a WIDE range) and Terrance delivered a non stop p...
arty at our reception! We even had guests, on the dance floor, tell us how much fun they were having and the music was top tier, the best they had ever experienced at a wedding. We even had special events throughout the reception that Terrance was able to accommodate and make the night even more special!
We are still having people tell us how much fun they had at our wedding and that it was the best they had ever been to!

ts during the reception. He was also extremely flexible as we had some last minute changes to our wedding ceremony timeline. I was able to text him that day and he ensured everything would be adjusted. Also, I was impressed with how easy it was to organize the music we selected. 985 DJ's provides an easy to use event planner website where you can easily make your payments and request or select each type of song you want for your wedding including your special event requests (ie cake cutting, bridal march, first dance, etc.). If 985 DJ's doesn't have the song in the inventory list you can type it in and they will make every effort to play it for you! I can't thank them enough for all of their hard work and being a part of our special day!
Terrance was so amazing! Our reception was a combo of songs we got to request and songs he chose based on our taste and the guests’ energy. Despite very cold temps, our dance floor...
was packed all night and the reception was a blast. All our special dances were lovely and executed without an issue. Terrance was incredibly easy to work with, kind, and helpful through the whole experience, and I couldn’t have imagined our wedding without his services! If you’re looking for a New Orleans wedding DJ, this is your best choice hands down!
Our 985 DJ, Terrance, was AMAZING! We got tons of compliments on our DJ and music from our wedding guests. We gave Terrance a wild ride of some of our favorite songs, but he manage...
d to flow through effortlessly. He managed to start with classics that the older guests love, transitioned to a wild rave song and then Taylor swift, and still managed to end with a classic Beatles song. All without any awkward transitions or pauses - just non-stop great music. We also opted for 985 DJ's photo booth and dance floor lights and we thrilled with both. The photo booth looked great and was a hit with our guests and the dance floor lights added even more fun to the party. Would definitely recommend!

Gregory at 985 DJs kept everyone on their feet for our entire 4 hour wedding reception. Incredible! This was a destination wedding and being music people, we were worried about rol...
ling the dice from afar, but after a few conversations with Terrance, we knew we were in good hands. We were able to add all our must-play songs to an online portal and were prompted with a countdown leading up to our deadline. And we had a run-through with Terrance a week prior. All that attention made certain our wedding vibe was going to be what we wanted it to be: a dance party with all our favorite songs (and a few requests we allowed). THANK YOU!

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.

His setup was great and he really kept the party going at our wedding! 10/10 would recommend. Thanks again Terrance!

c 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 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 commu...
nicated very well. They were inclusive and genuine, only feedback 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!
They were so great and fun… everyone had a blast! The online portal made it so much easier to select “must play” or “do not play.” We had another DJ for a different event, and 985...

e. What made the night even more epic was they were able to recreate a YouTube video wedding reception introduction that my husband really wanted, and it was absolutely PERFECT. The announcing of our bridal party like a Chicago Bulls lineup was hilarious and such a hit with our group! It was such a great level of customer service how Terrance made that magic happen. Seriously, go book them NOW! I will be recommending them to all of my future friends getting hitched!
