Throughout the planning process, Stacy was an invaluable asset, guiding us every step of the way and ensuring we stayed on track with our timeline. Her expertise, combined with an ...
intuitive, comprehensive video calls, made everything feel incredibly smooth and organized.
On the big day, Juan truly brought our musical vision to life. He clearly dedicated time to reviewing our must-play and do-not-play lists, and his seamless transitions kept the energy high. Juan's ability to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly was impressive. Stacy, acting as the MC, supported him perfectly, overseeing operations and enhancing the overall experience. Their dynamic teamwork truly lit up the dancefloor, and our guests were grooving from start to finish! It was an unforgettable celebration, thanks to their hard work and dedication.
Music selection was perfect. Stacy was amazing in helping keeping the ceremony and reception running exactly how we wanted it. She even helped with the food vendor! We highly recom...

edding. She stuck to our schedule that we made and made the night go so smoothly. On top of that our music was amazing the entire night I had guests coming up to me, saying “this is the best DJ that they have heard at a wedding.” My husband and I are extremely grateful that we got to have Stacy in Juan as a DJ for our wedding if you’re looking for a DJ for your wedding or special event pick Stacy and Juan you will have no regrets!!!
Stacy and Juan are the power couple! Very kind, professional, and upbeat. I appreciate them understanding our wedding vision and creating the perfect ambience. Stacy ensured that w...

We had a great experience and a super fun time working with AJDJ for our wedding! Juan was an excellent DJ—the dance floor stayed hot all night, and our guests of all different gen...
erations were out there together having fun! Carol was also a great MC, kept the night moving along and the guests informed. We also had AJDJ do sound for our ceremony. They brought our vision to life, and the sound quality on everything—officiant, readings, music, us—was excellent. Throughout the day and the process, they respected our wishes, but they are also pros who can take basic outlines of our music preferences, etc., and run with it. Recommend!
Stacy and Juan were fantastic! We interviewed a bunch of different DJ's and chose AJDJ-- and we're so glad we did! Juan was a very responsive DJ and kept a picky crowd on the dance...
floor all evening! We were so impressed with Stacy's fantastic MC'ing skills! She kept things moving smoothly throughout the evening and kept up on a tight schedule! This was probably some of the best money we spent during the wedding! Would definitely recommend AJDJ and we know who we'll be hiring for future events!
AJDJ was fantastic to work with. They made the day run so smoothly and everyone on their team was exceptionally professional. I highly recommend hiring their live piano too, this ...
was my absolute favorite part of the whole wedding and he was amazing - he was able to take pop and country music and transpose it to be played beautifully on the piano. If you're looking for DJ services or even just MC services, we certainly recommend them!
We were having trouble finding a DJ until we stumbled upon AJDJ. Stacy and Juan were nothing short of spectacular throughout the entire process. They set up a couple of Zoom sessio...
ns with us to discuss all the details and logistics as well as answer any question we had. Everyone loved the playlist and Stacy did a fabulous job MCing the wedding. They offered a pianist, Roger, to play our cocktail hour, and we are so glad we selected him to perform. We gave him a list of variety (and I mean a variety) of songs to play and he knocked it out of the park. We cannot recommend ADJD enough to couples out there looking for DJ services. Thank you so much Stacy, Juan, and Roger!!!
AJDJ did a phenomenal job as a DJ for our wedding. Juan, the DJ, played all the music we asked as well as made sure to not play any music we put on the "do not play" list. He was ...

nt run smoothly as our MC. They played exactly what we asked them to and the sound quality was superb! We really wanted to have a party feel to our reception, and Juan played music that brought people to the dance floor and kept them there! We probably had 90% of our guests dancing the whole time, which I didn't think was possible! Stacy also worked well with our wedding coordinator, Indigo events and design, to help keep everything on track and running smoothly.

Where to begin… DJ Angie D will not be hired for her services again. To start, we did not have a face to face meeting or phone call with this woman until 10 days out from our event...
, at which point she tried “advising” us to change the logistics of everything related to our wedding reception. We expressed that we had made our logistical decisions MONTHS prior and it was not her place or job to coordinate our reception. We came up with our DO-NOT play list and talked over what type of music we wanted and that was that. Fast forward to the wedding day… It was like the last-minute Zoom meeting never happened. Angela commanded the presence of the room on multiple occasions, making us and our guests feel quite awkward (giving a speech prior to our nervous Best Man about how no one will forget the best man’s speech, trying to direct group photos agitating our very expensive, very professional photographers). She tried directing us around the room to visit each of our guests after we told her 10 days prior that’s what we’d be doing at cocktail hour and NOT during our reception. She completely neglected the DO-NOT play list until multiple bridesmaids and the groom himself had to ask her to stop taking requests and play what was discussed. If any couple is considering using AJDJ, specifically Angie, we would strongly advise otherwise.
Stacy and her husband were AMAZING throughout the whole process. It was so stressful trying to figure out how to balance Mexican and American culture/ music during our reception a...
nd they were nothing but helpful and understanding. They knew exactly what we wanted! On the day of, they were timely and super attentive to our needs and what was expected of them. Don't think twice about booking them!! I cannot say enough good about AJDJ. The prices are incredible for the 5-star services they provided us!! They exceeded above and beyond all expectations!! Thank you AJDJ!
Working with AJDJ was fantastic and easy. It was extremely helpful to have a form to fill out which songs you specifically wanted and didn’t want. Stacy and Oscar helped make every...
thing run smoothly and kept the music coming. It was fantastic! We included zoom streaming and bubbles as our newlyweds exit, and it was so much fun! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same or as amazing if we didn’t have them there. Thank you so much for making our wedding day fantastic!
Stacy was the MC and Juan was the DJ at our wedding a few weeks ago! We locked in services with the not long before our wedding date (we held off on securing some vendors due to CO...
VID). I was/am so glad we found AJDJ - Stacy and Juan were great through the planning process. They worked to get an understanding of the type of music we wanted for the reception and really made some great song choices based on how guests responded to the music :) There was some slight delay in our ceremony start time which led to some other delays in our timeline and scheduling. Stacy was awesome and checked in with me a few times about ideas she had for changing some timeline plans to ensure the day moved forward with our preferences in mind! They offered to live stream the full ceremony and reception which was amazing! I had several family members join and participate for the full event with their food, drinks, wedding guest dress attire, and great energy :) Stacy helped to ensure we connected with guests on the live stream at different points in time to keep everyone involved in joining in the celebration. Thank you Juan and Stacy (AJDJ) for helping make our day such a fun time and memorable!

ertainment portion of planning a wedding SO easy and actually enjoyable. The online software that they offered for planning was so excellent, and they provided prompt feedback on how to improve the timeline and flow. Stacy and Allan were super attentive to the bridal party and adjusted based on the audience and dance floor. Honestly, dance floor was packed all night. We really had a blast with them and couldn't have dreamed of hiring a better team! Do yourself a favor and book AJDJ for your wedding day 100% :)
Great DJ's - kept the dance floor packed all night!

ve had a ton of wedding experience and were proactive with questions and suggestions, always willing to accommodate the vision of the bride and groom and make the whole event fun for the guests too! Stacy is a great MC and goes above and beyond in making sure every detail is covered! You can relax with Stacy at the helm!! The indoor and outdoor music was wonderful. The volume was perfect to both enjoy conversations and to dance the night away! Highly recommend AJDJ services for your next event!!

Working with AJDJ services for my wedding was easy, stress-free, and a lot of fun! AJDJ was responsive and proactive. We met our DJ at the reception venue for a site visit so that ...
everything went perfectly the day-of. During the reception, our DJ and MC kept our reception moving and kept our guests dancing! One of the things I like best about AJDJ services was that the music was prefect for bringing people to the dance floor without being so loud that our guests not on the dance floor were able to carry on normal conversations. Many guests raved about the ability to both enjoy dancing and visiting with friends and family without having the music overpower any conversation. We worked with one of the co-owners, Stacy, and she was great. Thanks, AJDJ for being part of our big day!
Do not hesitate to hire AJDJ, they were absolutely a joy to work with. Stacy and Allan were completely on top of things and didn't let us miss a step. Stacy helped us construct our...
timeline and gave us suggestions to make things flow better, which is what you want on our big day. Stacy and Allan were also great at watching the crowd and giving us suggestions on the big day, such as starting the first dances a little earlier since the crowd was getting restless, and adjusting our playlist based off the crowd's response. Attention to detail like this is hard to find. They genuinely care about giving you the best wedding you could ask for.
All my guests dance all night!
Thank you
Juan Gomez and Stephen Widener are amazing! They provided the mics for the outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour music and emcee, and reception music and emcee. Juan met us at the final ...
walk through 2 months before the wedding and helped us with questions along the way. They are very professional and really read the crowd well. They had the dance floor crowded all night long. Rumor has it, that after we left they continued the party because the guests were still dancing the night away. I could not of imagined having a better team at our wedding. I would recommend and book them again in a heartbeat!
Juan and the entire AJDJ crew were fantastic! They worked the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and we wouldn’t have changed a thing! They were professional in every sense and ...

selves. They helped things flow smoothly even when things got a little more logistically complicated than we had expected. AJDJ was also flexible and extremely helpful in the months leading up to the wedding as we tried to plan. Also, the uplighting they provided was perfect and made the room absolutely beautiful. I had completely forgotten to follow up with them to figure out how I wanted it lit, but they somehow got it exactly right anyway. I very highly recommend them - no complaints at all. They took a lot of the stress out of the day and kept things running well.
Going into our wedding night we had a idea of what we wanted. Juan and his team not only captured what we wanted but Exceeded Everyone of our expectations. Words can not describ...
e how greatful we are to have had a teams who not only cared about what we wanted out of our night but stopped at nothing to make sure it was exactly want we wanted out of our wedding night. Thanks again for helping make our wedding unforgettable. Can’t waot to hire you for our next event

aged our daughter’s reception perfectly. We could not have asked for better. They have always been and will always beour first choice DJ. We recommend them highly!
Stacy and Juan are fabulous. I used them for the first time several years ago for daughters sweet sixteen. They were so professional and easy to work with I later hired them again ...
for my wedding. They made the reception and more. I recently hired them again for my daughters wedding(same daughter from the sweet sixteen). Stacy and Juan have been involved in several milestones in our family and I could not think of anyone I would want more to be a part of these very special memories. These two work very hard and are stellar performers. They are perfect!!!!
Best of the best!!! Very professional, on time and amazing attitude!!!
I was impressed from the start when speaking with Stacy about their options. When my wife and I decided to go with them we were a little worried that we hadn’t heard from anyone si...
nce we paid (we were about a month away from our wedding). I reached out and they let us know that they normally don’t start getting all of our information and create a timeline until about two weeks before the date. This stressed us out a little, but it was all worth it! Stacy was fantastic to work with and was quick to get everything they needed from us, made great recommendations and was a great guide through the whole process. On our wedding day she did a fantastic job communicating everything that was happening to us and made sure we knew that we could take our time and there was no pressure to do any of the activities we had planned until we were ready. The music was fantastic and kept the party going and the lights were an excellent addition!
Overall a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to any of my friends and family!
Stacy and Juan were, in a word, perfect. We could not have asked for a better DJ and MC than them.
A few of the highlights from their exceptional services, flexibility, adaptabili...
ty, and professionalism:
-They set up in 3 different locations (ceremony in a field, cocktail hour downstairs in the barn, reception upstairs in the barn) and the sound projection was perfect everywhere, even outside. They had body mics for our officiants and hand-held mics for the ceremony readers. They did all of this without us having to ask (or even knowing how this all would work).
-They ran the cocktail hour and reception exactly as we had hoped -- they both read the crowd perfectly and implemented the bride and groom's wishes to a T.
-When the upstairs was too hot to dance and most guests were mingling downstairs or outside, they moved the dance party downstairs. They were incredibly adaptive and everyone loved it.
-They worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator and other vendors. They took care of things so professionally and only asked us for input when needed.
We would hire them again in a heartbeat. They were amazing!
Stacy and Juan were AMAZING to work with. Stacy did such a great job keeping track of the schedule and keeping things moving. Juan was fantastic with the music selection and flow. ...

Even when things didn't go exactly as scheduled, they just went with the flow and made it all work out great. Thank you both so much for creating a great environment for our reception!
We love stacey and juan! They are so professional and great to work with, even with last minute changes!

o look at the set up. The sound was good throughout the ceremony and reception. We requested almost every song that was played through their online form, which was what we wanted. A few hiccups - the same song was played twice during dinner a few minutes apart. We were a bit frustrated that Stacy was in the back at times when we wanted to her to be on hand to make logistical announcements on the dance floor (these were items that came up through the night, so we were not able to plan ahead for them). On the other hand, we had wanted to avoid the "obnoxious wedding MC", and she definitely was not obnoxious or overly present. The focus was very much on the music and the dancing, as we wanted it to be. I would just recommend being clear about where you would like her to be during the event.
Polished, perfectly run. Had an amazing time. Incorporated all of our requests with some great other song choices. Can't wait to have a big anniversary party so we can work with t...
