Look no further. You want this company and all they have to offer.
Planning-Their tool was easy to use and helpful if you have no idea where to start/what you need to cover music ...
for everything. Chris was so quick to respond and helpful with every question i had, even ones i thought were probably stupid to ask.
Dj-We were blessed with Richard. Fun to work with, brought the vibes, and went above and beyond getting a few pictures of us to display on his Dj stand. Everyone cried when they noticed them. He even helped us play a prank on my sister/MoH that was against a song we thought would be fun for the ceremony and did a “sound check” with it. It backfired, she loved it.
Photo Booth - So worth it. Our venue had one that didn’t have printouts and no attendant. We had Sara & printouts through Abell. There was ALWAYS people at it and she kept that line moving. We got a link to all the pictures the next morning.
We enjoyed our venue but Richard and Sara brought the fun experience for everyone that really made the night epic.
Thank you guys so freaking much for making our day!!!!

d handled special requests so seamlessly. The dance floor was packed the entire evening because of how amazing he was at reading the room, creating fun mixes, and making every song transition feel effortless.
He did so much more than just play music - he completely created the atmosphere for our wedding. One of the coolest touches was how he took photos of us during golden hour and displayed them on his DJ screen later in the night. The music videos playing on the front of his booth also added such a fun, energetic vibe that everyone loved.
On top of all of that, Richard was so kind, fun, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We could not have asked for a better DJ and would recommend him to anyone looking to have an unforgettable wedding!

ortal set up for us to add our favorite songs/playlists to and upload our entire wedding timeline so he could get familiar with every detail. The week before we had a final zoom call to confirm everything was set and ready to roll. He was the most organized DJ I've ever worked with.
On the day of, he was personable, fun, and struck the perfect balance of interaction with our guests. He kept a smile on his face the entire night, and our reception was better because of him. My husband and I are beyond thankful for how he turned a stressful situation into one of the best parts of our wedding.

and read the crowd, not someone who just pressed plan on a laptop. We found a video posted on Instagram of DJ Brian mixing at another wedding and it was the absolute vibe we were going for, so we requested him for our big day, and he did an amazing job! We love energy and he kept the music bopping all night long. Their planning website was so easy to use and fill out what we wanted to hear, and we had a planning call with Brian 2 weeks before our big day to make sure everything was squared away. We would recommend Brian and Abell DJ to anyone looking for a true DJ to run their party!

We had a great experience with DJ Richard at our wedding and cannot recommend the Abell DJ Company enough! The owner, Chris was able to answer all of our questions as we navigated ...
booking; He was easy to work with and you can feel the passion in the work that he does. The company's online platform for planning made it easy to customize parts of our events and was such a great tool over the year of our planning.
At our meeting with our day of DJ Richard, he was professional, organized, easy to work with, and listened to what we envisioned for the night. He worked along side our wedding planner to make the evening ran slowly on the day of. We are very appreciative to Richard for his ability to provide all our sound needs from the ceremony, to the high-energy reception. Richard was very communicative throughout the night, as he went above and beyond to incorporate our special requests while keeping the vibe exactly how we wanted it. He was also great at mixing songs and reading the dance floor to keep the crowd dancing! The photobooth was also a great and our guests had a great time taking photos and receiving print outs.
If you’re looking for a DJ who’s not only talented but also kind, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, we couldn’t recommend Abell DJ Company enough!

I have been so excited to write this glowing review for the DJ services provided by Richard! Richard was phenomenal! First and foremost I feel like he was very thorough when we wen...
t over all the details over the phone ahead of the wedding. His DJ booth was able to show our engagement photos during the wedding as a slide show, but it also played music videos during open dance, which we all thought was so cool! I feel that he executed all of my requests to perfection, mind you I had certain songs starting and stopping at very particular times down to the second (I'm a bit of a perfectionist). Richard was not just your typical DJ hype man (which he absolutely was), but went above and beyond! Richard was the first person to hand me a signature cocktail from the bar and checked in to see if we needed anything as the night went on. He was also the guy that held up the bubble machine over his head so the photographers could get the desired shots for our bubble photo exit. Richard was there the entire night either playing a supportive role or playing music to get people on the dance floor. We had many compliments from guests about the music and how well everything flowed from event to event throughout the night. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Richard and honestly wish I had more needs for a DJ. Because we enjoyed our experience so much, we will definitely try to find celebrations we could have DJ service for in the future. 110% recommend and would use again!

Richard was our DJ and I could never be able to recommend him enough. If you are reading this and you are a bride I'm begging you to book with this company and Richard specifically...
. He saved my wedding day and did so much more than just DJ. When it started to rain during my photos I started to panic and he was right there with a drink in hand and words of encouragement. He held an umbrella over our photographers head the whole time so she wouldn't mess up her camera. My husband was having trouble holding the train of my dress and he helped him out and carried it too. He was like a built in groomsmen! He offered to help in anyway he could. Not only that but the dance floor was amazing! He played all our request, kept the dance floor going without making the guest feel obligated. The guest complimented the music and how fun it was and even my mom was out there busting a move. It was so much fun and just the perfect music. I truly can't explain how much this man did for us but I would book him all over again in a heart beat!

I don't know where to start... Brian knocked it out of the park. I got so many compliments on the music and I know our friends and family had a great time with it. Even after only ...
briefly discussing a few things ahead of time, Brian was an expert and flew through the evening seamlessly. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I felt like we were friends by the end of the night.
Deena, our Photo Booth attendant, was so sweet and attentive. When she saw an opportunity to make my original plan better she asked about it first and her suggestion was perfect.
The whole planning platform was absolutely genius. I loved being able to put my timeline, song requests, and finer details into something that prevented miscommunication. Gone are the days of typing out bullet points and hoping your DJ paid attention.
We could not have been happier with hiring Abell DJ for our wedding. My guests and bridal party were like "where the hell did you find this guy? This is great!"

Hi Missy, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that Brian and Deena made ...
your night unforgettable. It means the world that your guests had a blast, and we’re so glad our planning platform made things easy.

We enjoyed having Chris as our DJ at our wedding! He was a recommendation from one of our bridesmaids who insisted we have him be our DJ, and he did not disappoint. We had a lot of...
events in our reception timeline- and some non-traditional ones- and he MC'd us through them without overdoing it. He communicated clearly and thoroughly with us during our planning meeting on how he envisioned each part of the night playing out, and then executed that plan the night-of. He explained to us ahead of time how he handles conflicts with guests (such as when taking song requests on the "no" list, someone wanting to change the order of events of the night, what to do when someone who is supposed to speak ends up leaving the reception early or a person wanting to give a surprise speech), and when these events happened at our wedding, he followed the exact plan that he shared with us and maintained professionalism. Chris was quick to respond to emails and we had no doubt that he would arrive on time. Most of all, our dance floor was awesome!! Chris stuck to the list of songs that we provided him (per our request) and used them to keep the dance floor packed until the very end of the night! In the time since our wedding, we have received many compliments on the music and fun of our dance floor. It was a blast! We booked uplighting through Abell DJ Company, and we were pleased with that as well. Abell DJ Company was more expensive than other DJ companies we had looked into, but we feel that the services provided and professionalism we received through them were worth it. We could really tell that Chris takes pride in his work and in his company. Thank you to Chris for his services and his part in setting the atmosphere for a wonderful night!
*Including a few pictures with his DJ booth set-up in them. Chris's screen has the ability to display a message, a photo, animations with patterns, or even some music video clips! This was really cool!

From our consultation to the day of, Brian was super professional, flexible, and in tune with our vibe and vision for the day. The dance floor was hot the entire time, and many people came up to us and commented that we had the best wedding DJ ever. From our sentimental first dances to the last dance, we had an amazing time and couldn’t have asked for a better music experience.

Abell DJ is one of the best vendors in the industry. From the moment we signed the contract to the end of our event, DJ Chris was professional, helpful, responsive, and fun! Our da...
nce floor was energized and packed all night long - even after our bar closed (30 minutes prior to the event end). Two weeks after the wedding, we are still getting compliments on Abell DJ. Friends and family are calling our daughter's wedding "epic" and "the best wedding they've been to" because the dj kept the energy high. Even my 81 year-old dad danced the night away with the 20-somethings.
I will recommend Abell DJ to anyone who wants their event to include an epic dance party. We also recommend adding Abell’s Photo Booth to the dj package. Our guests loved the photo strips and we loved our digital copies of their photos!
