John was amazing on our wedding day! He took care of us, checked in with us, but didn’t crowd us and took care of everything! He was the utmost professional and brought the exact “classy” vibe we were going for. We were so thankful to find some...
one who aligned with our values.
John with Access DJ’s was absolutely wonderful to work with! John replied to all points of contact in a professional and timely manner. The online planning database was very user-friendly and gave John an idea of the music we were looking for. ...
John was wonderful with last minute help and changes. He is very flexible and understanding and was able to make our wedding day such a fun celebration, he got everyone up and dancing. I am so glad I found him for my destination wedding in New Ulm Texas!
John was our DJ for our October wedding and I couldn’t have asked for a better one!! Communication was great which I really appreciate! He would always take my calls and listen to what my husband and I wanted. (Even if it wasn’t traditional.) H...
e just wanted our day to be special to us! He played all the songs we requested, and we still have our friends and family saying how much fun they had at our wedding!! I would definitely recommend Access DJs!!
Any questions?
After reading all the reviews about John and speaking with John we thought we hired the perfect DJ. Initial communication and scheduling was easy. Two days before our wedding John mentioned he was disappointed he wouldn’t get to be at our event...
as he had another to be at. He said not to worry though as the DJ that was running our wedding had done it a very long time and was just as great. This was news to us as we had hired John not another DJ but we are laid back and moved forward. The reception ended up being disappointing. My husband had to keep asking for songs on our playlist to keep people dancing. One explicit version after the other was played after multiple people including myself (the bride) requested no more explicit versions to be played. A father/daughter dance that was not planned was announced and the song played for it was the song for the mother/son dance. I’m sure if John had been there these things would not have occurred but apparently you need to confirm you’ve hired John when you hire this DJ group.
John was absolutely amazing! We had a GREAT time, my family and guest really enjoyed the music. We had a blast!
John Ortiz from Access DJ's was a huge hit at our wedding! I was struggling to find a DJ for our wedding that was affordable. When John called me for a quote, my husband and I both knew, this was the vender that we were going to book. He is so ...
personable and was an absolute delight to work with. His rates are fantastic. My husband and I have two totally different music interests and were anxious about picking music that would best satisfy our guests. We ended up asking John if he could just "read the room", and boy did he! He had everyone up on their feet and dancing all night long! Guests were coming up to us complementing our "awesome DJ" the entire night and still talk about him 3 weeks later. John was even kind enough to offer to get my husband and I drinks when he saw our hands were empty. I can confidently say picking John to help us with our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have done because he made the music part of wedding planning a totally stress-free experience. Choosing venders can be stressful, pick the stress-free route, choose Access DJ's!
John was amazing to work with for our wedding! He was very professional and responsive to our emails. The day of, he was great at keeping the reception on schedule and getting everyone into place (especially since we didn't have a day of coordi...
nator). He was also able to get people out onto the dance floor! He was probably the best vendor that we hired for our wedding.
John with Access DJ’s was fantastic to work with! From the pre-wedding meeting to the day of, he was professional and a great collaborator. John acted as DJ and Master of Ceremonies and worked one-on-one with our wedding planner to ensure that ...
our reception went smoothly. The online planning database was very user-friendly and gave John an idea of the music we liked to that he could fill in the gaps and keep the dance floor full. We also rented the photo booth, which was a HUGE HIT! His assistant who managed the photo booth all night was also great; she ensured guests left a copy of their photo strip in the album we provided. I would look no further for your wedding DJ!

Hi Angela & Adam! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your vendor teams! I was an incredible evening dancing with the dinosaurs and watching the expressions on your guest faces as they walked into the room. It was truly a magical even...
ing! Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot to us that your wedding night is unforgettable. ~John
We hired John for our wedding and I couldn't be happier with his service. We didn't have a planner, so John took care of all the timing. We would've been lost without him. To making sure we had some time to ourselves to eat, making sure our gue...
sts knew what to do and when, and of course getting everyone to the dance floor to have some fun, he was amazing and made everything so smooth and easy. Highly recommend!
John from Access DJs was great to work with. He was very accessible for questions and followed up with anything we might have missed. Their online database for planning and organizing songs makes it all so easy. We told him our ideas and vibe f...
or the wedding and he was able to fill in any gaps perfectly. Not only does he organize the music for the day, but he acts as master of ceremonies to guide guests where they need to be and when. He helped make our day seamless.
Whether you are looking for a DJ/MC/Coordinator or not hire John. Whatever you have budgeted for a DJ make sure it’s enough to book John. John made our wedding day extremely easy and he provides far more value than he charges.
John picked up o...
n the music we like based on just a few music choices, MCd the entire reception, and coordinated with us based on a timeline he helped us develop prior to the wedding. We chose to start our reception slightly late due to some guests arriving late but John was able to get us back on schedule while still finding time to make sure we ate. In addition, John was able to keep key wedding guests happy the entire night.
Again, hire John. Move other costs around if necessary because John will make your special day that much better.
I have not been able to stop talking about what a wonderful job Access DJ's did at our wedding at Emery's Buffalo Creek! From planning to executing the actual wedding, John was so helpful and gave so many great ideas, most of which we used. Our...
expectations were far exceeded when he made our wedding day everything that we hoped it would be. He even picked up the slack when the coordinator left us feeling more than disappointed. Really it felt like he WAS the coordinator, everyone agrees with me! Every single person I talked to said that it was so well planned and flowed together perfectly, and I have to say that it is all thanks to the help and hard work of John Ortiz and Access DJ's! 1000% recommend! Great price and worth every single penny!
John came through in a big way after our contracted DJ cancelled on us less than a month out! He was so professional and economically priced, too. Without him and our photographer, I feel that our wedding would have been a complete train wrec...
k. John is the best! 10/10 would definitely recommend!
John was a fantastic DJ! From the pre-wedding meetings to the ceremony and reception, John was a professional and entertaining DJ. He was able to work with us on some last second changes on a toast that my wife and I wanted to do. And during th...
e reception, John was great at encouraging all to come to the dance floor to partake in the entertainment and dancing! I would highly recommend John and Access DJs for your wedding and reception!!!
John was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Do not look anywhere else for your DJ!!
He truly went above and beyond and made everything SO much easier than we ever imagined it would be. He was the one who lined us all up and introduced us as we entered, he...
was the one who released our tables one by one, and he was the one who helped us with the cake cutting / toasts / garter & bouquet tosses. When I was hiring a DJ, I was expecting someone who just helped with music, but he went above and beyond and helped with the ENTIRE reception.
Since my sister was the coordinator, it really helped her be able to enjoy the wedding also which truly meant the world to me. I absolutely LOVED John and would recommend him to anyone looking!
If you need a DJ for your event, look no further than Access DJs. You will just be wasting your time. They completely knocked it out of the park. John was an amazing DJ. He kept the everything moving and on schedule. The dance floor was never e...
mpty. The price was right on point for the services provided. I can't say enough good things. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. I could not have been more pleased. Thank you John and thank you Access DJs.
Access DJ's was such a great company to work with. John was very helpful and professional and their customer portal makes planning everything a breeze. John helped us to formulate a wedding timeline and ran our reception like a pro. We didn't h...
ave to worry about anything, as he kept things flowing right on time. He even helped us set up a zoom link for my family that could not be there in person. He even played soca from Trinidad with ease. It was an amazing night. We added on a photo booth with them and it was a hit with out guests. They provided props and everyone got print outs right then and there. The price for all of this was very affordable and I think John went above and beyond for the wedding. I would recommend using access Dj's for your next event.
John was absolutely amazing and 1000% VITAL to the smoothness of our ceremony and reception. He was professional, attentive, available, responsive, helpful, and made the party more fun that it would've been without him! My husband and I couldn'...
t have felt more lucky with a DJ and I'm so glad we were referred to him to book.
Access DJ was awesome! I loved their online portal that allowed us to choose the song we wanted on our playlist and the songs we did not want on our playlist. Our wedding was originally scheduled for 3/20/2020. COVID caused us to have to resche...
duled to 10/9/2020. They were so accommodating by letting us reschedule without any hassle or up charge. They were on time, and easy to reach if I had questions. John was better at coordinating and taking care of us than our actual wedding coordinator. He had everyone at our wedding enjoying themselves. No one stayed in there seats for long after dinner was served! They really were amazing overall!!!!
John was amazing to work with from start to finish. When covid cancelled our first wedding, John was understanding and very professional and let us reschedule with no issues whatsoever. He not only provided us with our ceremony and reception mu...
sic, but our photobooth as well. His planning website was easy to use and he us helped create a timeline to keep everything running smoothly. I provided him with a few songs but ultimately he came up with the playlist and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. My bridesmaids even offered to pay money to keep the party going but unfortunately, our venue wouldn't allow that. If you're looking for a DJ, do yourself a favor and hire John ASAP!

Hi Brittany, what an incredibly nice review! Thank you so much. Your families had so much fun and I enjoyed being a part of your special day. Please give Travis our best! ~John
John and His wife were amazing!!! Everything was perfect!! we all danced the night away, and also had a blast getting so many pictures in the photo booth!!! Definitely Recommend!!
We were reluctant to put a deposit because of the Covid19 issue and the grooms relatives all from Canada not being able to come in . After contacting John regarding scheduling a wedding in August he assured us the deposit would be returned if w...
e scheduled and had to cancel. We ended up having to cancel in late June and I have spoken with John several times and he has yet to return our deposit. Would not trust his word.
Response from the Vendor on 08/19/2020
Mr Cohorn, ACCESS DJs has still not worked since March 16 when Harris County shut down the wedding & hospitality industry affecting thousands of brides and grooms all over Texas and the United States. We are truly sorry that this happened to E...
mily & Jeff. I had every intention to give you the $100 deposit even though it was in our Contract that it was not refundable. Especially since you signed it on March 13th, when no one expected that 3 days later it would all be shut down. And definitely no one expected the shut down to last this long and causing our company to lose 3 weddings and rescheduling 67 weddings for 2021.
To the Knot Brides, PLEASE read your contracts with ALL of your vendors. As professional vendors we are doing our best nationwide to assist tens of thousands of couples save their wedding dates and somehow still keep our companies open to handle your special day. many of us have not made any income since the shut down.
We understand that for some people even a $100 deposit seems like a fortune and we understand the pain they feel from having to do so much planning and then having to cancel the date. We ask for your understanding and to have patience with all the vendors on the Knot and through out Houston as we prepare to serve all you needs in 2021.
Mr Cohorn, even though you wrote this without contacting us to ask what the status was, once the pandemic is over and we are back up and running, I will contact you about the $100. I'm sorry that your family has had so many unfortunate events happen to you. God Bless
Never came and did not want to work with us to refund due to Covid after wedding had to be cancel per Governor’s order. Will not recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 08/06/2020
We are truly sorry Dora for you as well as the thousands of brides across our great nation suffering from COVID19. Unfortunately based on our pending litigation in court with you, we cannot openly discuss this matter here or our 30 day prior c...
ancellation policy and our "force majeure" epidemic clause. We would like to communicate to the the Knot community Brides and Grooms that you were offered the same as the other 55+ brides and grooms who rescheduled at no charge on any future date of their choice. 99% of our brides and Grooms have rescheduled. The COVID19 pandemic has caused horrible problems and while postponing was not a bride & grooms choice, canceling is their choice. To all Knot Brides, please review your contracts with all of your vendors, as well as cancellation policies and return policies. Our industry is doing the very best it can to make your days very special and provide you with the very best service. We would also like your continual support to our industry as we do not qualify for many programs and we are one of the hardest hit industries and have not worked since March 16. We hope we can be of service to you on your wedding day.
John did an amazing job making the soundtrack for our wedding. From helping us pick the perfect part of our song to exit with, to building a playlist of great songs from an admittedly limited set of our favorite songs (neither of us are big mu...
sic buffs), his attention to detail and planning was fantastic.
As DJ and MC the night of the wedding, he kept everyone entertained all evening.
You won't find a better, more friendly DJ to work with!
John is an awesome DJ. We hired him for our wedding reception in mid-March. We had some specific requirements (karaoke, playing unique music genres, etc.) and John was very flexible in his approach. He also made many excellent song suggestio...
ns. We sent him lots of files of our favorite (and unusual) songs and he happily played them all night long. He has a great software for making a photo slideshow. We gave him about 500 photos and he cycled them through the night on a big screen. He brought a great karaoke set-up and played all the requested songs. We had spoken with a couple of other DJs and they seemed quite rigid. John was very pleasant and easy to work with and changed things up as needed during our reception. We highly recommend John for your event.
We booked them for our wedding and they were absolutely wonderful!! Our DJ helped us all the way through the process of planning our wedding. He gave us ideas of songs to use based off of the style of wedding we wanted to have. He was there ...
early made sure everyone was enjoying the music all night long. Definitely the best DJ company out there!! The price is great too!!
John was amazing to work with! He helped us with our music and coordinating of our wedding. That was one of the best things about working with John, was that he helped with keeping the flow going with our wedding. Stop looking at other DJs and ...
book with Access DJs now! You won't regret it
I highly recommend Access DJ’s. They are extremely affordable and provided us with top notch service. John Ortiz not only was an excellent DJ, but he also went above and beyond that service alone! He checked on us multiple times throughout the ...
reception making sure that we had drinks if we needed and also personally brought drinks to my husband and I after the ceremony while we prepared to take pictures. His service was impeccable and better than those of the venue, in my opinion. The music was spectacular because he truly listened to our requests and our guests had a blast on the dance floor. If I have any other events that require a DJ, I will not hesitate to contact Access DJ’s!
John at Access DJ’s rocked!!! I can’t begin to say enough nice things about his services. He not only acted as a master DJ, but he also did an exceptional job of coordinating the night and keeping everything moving at a relaxed pace. He played ...
all the music my husband and I requested, but he also played guest requests that were special. I can honestly say, he was the best man for the job. Thank you, John. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without your services!!

Thank you Meg! I enjoyed being a part of your wedding so much. It was so beautiful too, with the Autumn Wedding Theme and it was the perfect weather and day for it. Your wedding party was a great group too! Once more, Congrats to you and Cory, ...
and I hope to see you around Houston at another event. ~ John
John Ortiz was an absolutely wonderful Deejay for our wedding. Both of us have seen several weddings where the dancing petered out due to bad music selections, poor understanding of the audience, or simply lack of engagement. John kept our grou...
p dancing the entire night- we don't think there was ever a time when the dance floor was empty! He was also very nice about moving his speakers to accommodate some pictures and even came out on the dance floor to teach us how to line dance to "Copperhead Road" when it was clear none of us knew how. He has a very helpful website for selecting songs we do (and don't) want played and even offered to meet with us before the event! We received many so compliments about how much fun people had at the wedding and much of that credit goes to John! If we had to do it again we would easily pick John and hope you have the fortune of getting him to be your Deejay!
John from Access DJs was amazing to work with. He made sure we knew that this was our day and he wanted to make the wedding feel like us. He was responsive, fun to work with, and accommodating to our every request. Creating the playlist was eas...
y to do with his program and he nailed it on the wedding day. The dance floor was never empty! Also he made sure everything ran smoothly by announcing special events, coordinating speeches, and more. John is a true professional, and he made our day completely stress free. Thank you John! I could not recommend Access DJs more! Hire them!!
John was the DJ at our wedding in April and he was awesome. His system for planning the event was so easy to use and very helpful. Every time we skyped with him, we felt so much better about our wedding day and we knew we were in the right han...
ds. The whole day was so perfect thanks to him. He was not just a DJ but the announcer/coordinator which was great. The music he played was awesome, the party was so fun and everyone had a blast and danced all night. since we had family and friends from diferent countries we requested a mix of Serbian/Hungarian music and he did a great job incorporating those into the evening. It was a great day and an awesome party!!!! We defiantly recommend John for your next event!!!
Thank you John for this amazing day!!!!
John is an amazing event coordinator and DJ. He hosted our event on February 10 and did a great job! It was easy to work with him and he ensured that he played all the songs we wanted to make the evening special. So thank you John!
John Ortiz DJ'd our wedding on January 6th, 2018 and did a fantastic job! Prior to the event he met with us in person to go over details and had a lengthy Skype call to make sure we were all on the same page. He was generous with his time, very...
professional, and really cared about getting things just the way we wanted them. His song selection was excellent and he kept the party going at just the right pace. I highly recommend John and Access DJ's!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We had an amazing wedding and many thanks to John for facilitating our event! John was very professional and thorough in planning so he could MC and DJ. Moreover, he was so flexible and able adjust to last minute (and I mea...
n LAST minute) changes to our timeline and location! Thanks John for making our evening perfect!
We had an amazing time at our wedding day and rehearsal dinner because of John. We literally danced both the nights away. John was so professional and understanding the entire time. From picking the right songs and giving great suggestions to k...
eeping us calm during the wedding planning. He was more like a wedding planning AND a DJ. I (bride) was running late our wedding day and he made sure he was on the phone with me the entire time to make sure all the other vendors know the time line. Highly recommend John and will book in again in a heart beat !
John Ortiz with Access DJs was our wedding DJ and he was fantastic! He is so kind and was very prompt and organized for the meetings we had before our event. From the beginning, it was clear that John was dedicated to making this a perfect day ...
for us. Access DJs has a portal to which we were able to upload our song list and wedding timeline. The portal has a huge song database (and the option to add any song that may not be included in the database) and was easy to use. A month prior to our wedding, John set up a meeting with us to discuss final details and our reception timeline. On the day of the wedding, he ensured that we stayed on schedule and coordinated with our other vendors. His playlist was awesome. He knew the perfect songs to mix with the song list we uploaded to the portal and the order of the music flowed really well. He definitely kept the party going and the dance floor was packed all night! We got so many compliments on how nice John was and how great the music was. He made our wedding so much fun! HUGE thanks to John!
John from Access DJs was on hand to make our wedding go off without a hitch. He has a great system that we used to list some of our favorite songs for him, and we later had a Facetime session with him to make sure we were on the same page. Whi...
le we hired John as a DJ, we wound up getting much, much more than that. John was able to implicitly understand what was needed when and managed the flow of the evening at a perfect pace. We had a band come on later in the night, and John handled transitions with them and their breaks perfectly. John is a consummate pro and we would highly recommend him!
We recently used Access DJ for our wedding. The whole process was very excellent. From our initial meeting to the event, John Ortiz was very professional and did a great job.
As mentioned in the other review, the Customer portal was very eas...
y to use and I think it helped us get the right music for a special day. On the day of the event, John did a great job with the music during our ceremony and the reception music was awesome.
We highly recommend Access DJ.
We hired Access DJs for our wedding and were very happy with our choice. The whole process was very smooth and the client area on the website was easy to navigate. John Ortiz was our DJ and Emcee. He did a phone consultation with my husband and...
me and helped plan out a lot of details such as our grand entrance and our exit. He kept in constant communication every step of the way. On the day of the event, he worked the room like a pro. He was engaged and interactive with the guests and very attuned to the energy of the crowd. He knew exactly what songs to play and when to play them in order to keep that energy going. I highly recommend this company.
