His sales and marketing skills, along with his vast knowledge of music spanning five decades, make him unparalleled among area DJs. Will has programmed radio stations of various formats over the years, making him an expert in knowing what to play and when.

DJ "Good Ground" was professional, got the party started and was responsive to all of our requests. He especially paid attention to the wide range of ages of our guests and made sure the music was entertaining for everyone in attendance. I would recommend Abe One DJ's for any event. Truly a top notch organization.

They worked with me for my budget which was such a help. DJ Will was awesome for our wedding and he is a singer himself. I believe he told us we were the last wedding he was doing and I am grateful we had him for the ceremony and reception.

Luis was our DJ and did a terrific job! He was accommodating with the whole process and made it very easy for us. They also know Latin Music and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We paid him to stay over for two more hours for us. Abe One DJ's was everything we read on here about and even more. They are a must for anyone getting married.

We hired Abe One DJ's, They assigned David for our wedding and he was always available by text, email, or by phone call. He was easy to talk to and was like talking to an old friend. We went over a lot about the wedding and he was able to share some great ideas with us. We received many compliments on him and will always recommend him to family and friends.

DJ Tanner exceeded all of my expectations. Our guests have literally not stopped talking about him. He had the room dancing on tables as soon as dinner was over (even before the alcohol eas consumed) I have never seen abetter DJ in my life and I have been to MANY weddings. Thank you Abe One!

Will Shumate has hosted a handful of our family weddings, which is why we kept calling him back! Will is the party! This time he sent us John, and now I have a new respect for all of the Abe One DJ's! John was perfect for us. The music was on point down to a T, and our group loved him!

Will gave every experience we had with him 110% from the initial phone call to the final review to be sure we had all details tied down leading into our big day. Even with my frantic phone call 3 days before my event because I wanted to change some things. Abe One DJ's truly became my therapist. Ten minutes before the wedding he told me everything was going to be great and believe me... it WAS!

Tanner is the best DJ I've ever seen. I found out he was a pre-med student, and both my husband, and I are soon to become Doctors. Will Shumate hooked us up with Tanner, and it was a hand-in-glove event. Every announcement and timeline was met, and his music was on point. We are thrilled with his services!!!

DJ Clyde with Abe One was very personable and made me feel comfortable. Before mine, I've been to two other weddings he has done. He is not a cookie-cutter either; he customizes every wedding de does. If you are currently on the fence about hiring a DJ, call Abe One - The ONLY One!

We had a great experience with Abe One. We found David at a friend's wedding, then we called Will Shumate, and he arranged it to happen for us. Will also stepped us through the wedding process, and they even offer tech support. I can't honestly say that I've ever dealt with another DJ service this organized. Thank you, Abe One, for your helpful assistance and professional service.

Will Shumate has helped us for several years with events in this area. Because of his work schedule this time, he sent us John Covey. We were blown away by his music and hosting skills. He was very kind and patient as we had several last-minute changes. I've read many reviews here about how nobody wanted to go home after using Abe One DJ's, and we experienced this firsthand. Our day was AMAZING!!!

Abe One DJs was fantastic. Will DJ'ed our son's wedding on Saturday. He came early, set up all his gear for the outdoor ceremony, and then quickly moved indoors for the reception. We could not be more satisfied with their services. He took care of our announcements, provided microphones for various speeches, and made our evening perfect. We cannot recommend him enough!

Our Abe One DJ David was such a joy to work with. Will Shumate was recommended by our venue then Will sent David. We weren't so sure at first, but Will assured us he would be all this and more and so he WAS!!! Abe One DJ's was our favorite vendor on our special day and we owe all the success to them. It was THE party of parties!!!

Will blew away our expectations! I had heard from other vendors that have worked with him in the past how great he is, but I wasn't convinced until he got our entire wedding reception up and dancing. The payment and contract were turnkey, and I appreciate the attention to detail. 10/10 would recommend Abe One Deejays.

Thank you, DJ Clyde, with Abe One DJ's. My mother put everything together for us because of conflicting work schedules. When she needed technical assistance, Joe was there for her. We never hit a bump, and the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. DJ Clyde was a big hit, and the venue had to turn the lights up to get us out! The party went on and on.

Abe One DJ's was straightforward to work with. Will Shumate is a great communicator. Having many years of know-how as a master DJ, he put it all together for us. Firstly, they were reasonably priced when compared to the other vendors. I felt good about everything leading up to our wedding day; DJ John Covey is an accomplished and top-notch DJ. We could not have asked for better services!

I called Will Shumate with Abe One DJ's on Wednesday, knowing it would be a long shot for a Saturday wedding the same week. He was on top of it and very flexible with all of our details. Will is a pro who has been hosting weddings for 45 years. He sent us DJ David, who was very polished at his craft and gave us turn-key service very last minute. Thanks, Abe One DJ's, for saving our day and wedding!

John is an amazing wedding DJ. Due to COVID complications, he had to step in last minute and still exceeded our expectations. He made sure to touch base on notes from all previous meetings to make sure he knew what to expect and to know what we wanted. Homerun Abe One DJ's... You knocked it out of the park!

John Covey was our assigned DJ from Abe One and we loved his work. Working with Will Shumate put our minds to ease because is is so knowledgeable about every aspect of weddings so we went with his advice.

Will with Abe One DJ's was AMAZING to work with! He kept the party going and did an awesome job with song requests. It's so easy to navigate his website because they included an online radio station for song ideas. Before the event we talked with him to get all the details nailed down. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our day and we give all of the credit to Abe One DJ's.

We loved having Abe One DJ's at our wedding. We found them out at a local event last year and thanks to Will Shumate, we were able to get a good deal on their services. From the beginning they were very helpful a providing wedding portal to enter all of our information. Getting closer to our day they kept in the loop on important details. When Will Lawrence arrived we know the party was on and it was non- stop for hours. These guys nailed it!

DJ Tanner was the most professional DJ I have ever seen. He told me he went to medical school. I was floored at what he does and the skill he has to keep people on the dance floor. We made an exit to get to our honeymoon destination early. For all we know, our people could still be there dancing and that's how we wanted to remember our special day.

Abe One DJ John Covey was polite, professional, on time, and most of all, he LISTENED to what we wanted! He played exactly what we wanted, and nothing that we didn't want. I think this is so important because there is a lot of vendors where you tell them one thing and do another. This is not the case with Abe One... The Only One!
