the best feeling. We highly recommend him to anyone getting married or for any events.
Our experience from our wedding with James and All Around Celebration was nothing short of amazing. They always wanted to make sure they were on top of what we wanted (music wise) and kept the audience engaging and the atmosphere fun and excit...
ing. Every aspect, from the beginning to end was professional and non stop fun. Would always recommend James for anyone else wanting a fun time!
James is an absolute sweetheart and wonderful DJ/MC. He took our must-play list and expanded it in a way that satisfied our music taste and kept guests of all ages on the dance floor all night. Cannot wait for another excuse to hire him.
Any questions?
DJ James is truly the best Emcee/ DJ I could have asked for! There were two age groups at our wedding: younger Millennials (between 25-30) and our parents (between 50-60). James was able to incorporate songs that made everyone happy and get up ...

any wedding I’ve ever attended. He was also accommodating to people’s music requests throughout the night and very entertaining! James has the perfect personality you would want in your DJ for your wedding. I highly recommend going with All Around Celebrations LLC!! 🙂
James is so professional but super fun at the same time. He not only played music during our reception but also did the ceremony and cocktail hour music too! He honestly was so easy to work with and captured all of the songs we wanted to hear. ...
I can't say enought about how awesome of a DJ he is!! We all danced from start to finish at the reception, it was absolutely fantastic and all thanks to James!! Highly, highly recommend!!
Best DJ I could ever ask for. James was amazing and easy to work with. He was able to handle our last minute request (thank you by the way) and he was able to help keep the wedding on track.
Don't even hesitate, BOOK JAMES NOW!! I'll start off by saying my friends and family like to dance. So it was extremely important we found a DJ that knew how to read the room, and played songs that people would enjoy. James is a magician, he kn...
ows exactly what songs to play when. We booked him the week after he was at our friends wedding last summer and now we recommend him to any engaged couples we know, he's that good. Thank you so much for everything James!! We enjoyed partying with you again for our special day
wow - the most beautiful and fun wedding. Our DJ (James) was outstanding! Very reliable, well organized, professional, fun, and very knowledgeable and experienced in assisting us in wedding reception and ceremony music and flow. Great in ...
meeting us and sharing his passion for being a DJ at weddings. We were married on a cruise boat, and James was excellent in helping us adapt to being out on a lake for the wedding. Highly recommend James!
If I could give a thousand stars I would. James was amazing throughout the entire planning process. From last minute changes to making a mashup song for my husband and his mom the week of! I cannot rave about him more. He has such a great proce...
ss of selecting music and his layout was so helpful in getting our timeline down. His immense amount of energy and kindness is so appreciated in such a stressful time of planning a wedding. By the time the wedding day came around I felt complete trust with him. He did an amazing job and the wedding was such a hit. I’ve already had so many guests saying what a great time they had and how much they enjoyed dancing it up our wedding night. If you’re looking for a DJ that will make your night so memorable James is the one for you. Thank you!!!!
All Around Celebration was recommended to us by a friend, and we are so glad we took her recommendation! Working with James was awesome. He is extremely quick in responding to emails and truly makes sure he understands what you're looking for. ...
For our actual wedding day, James he kept the energy high and made sure he kept the night on track. We are so glad we went with him for our wedding!
James was the absolute best!! His personality is so fun and always has a smile on his face! We met with James in person and wrote out everything we wanted for our special day. We had so many changes throughout our process due to COVID-19 he han...
dled all of them like a champ and was so carefree and easy going! I was more than impressed with his set up and he did a great job feeling out the crowd. And played music that seemed to be the best crowd pleaser while still throwing in some of our favorite songs! 100% recommend! He made our day. And even locked up for us at the end of the night!
James did a perfect job for our wedding with careful planning. We meet up months before where James laid out the jam plan. He got a good idea what kind of music we wanted in general along with sample song lists. He had a worksheet that we f...
illed out for every step of the ceremony and event. We could even request rare songs from youtube that he was able to work into our wedding. A concern for me was the music being too loud, which is common at weddings, this wasn't a problem with James. Overall, his performance was above expectations, adapting quickly to the vibe of the room with high energy and personality. His product is worth more than the price we paid. Would recommend to anyone. Thx James, Mark and Melanie.
James was everything we needed/wanted from our wedding DJ. We wanted someone who would play our list of songs, and give us music both indoors and outdoors. It was even more important that someone could do this with no wifi, as our venue had n...
one. James was able to deliver everything. He came early and helped do the sound for our ceremony musician, and had all our songs ready to go for each part of the wedding, as well as mics for speeches. He even stayed until the end of the night. James responds quickly with any questions you might have. We definitely recommend going with All Around Celebration.
James was a very fun DJ. Everyone had a lot of fun. When it came to the music, I had a very unique song list, and he was able to play them all.
James was fantastic. He was always available for questions, took the changes I made to the play list and played the songs I wanted. He kept me on the dance floor for hours! He took any requests and was super professional. I even had a last minu...
te change the day before and he made it happen! You will not be disappointed!

I had so much fun at the wedding. I'm not sure if any bride ever danced as much as you. lol
James is THE BEST DJ! He was so easy to work with, and kept us and our guests on the dance floor from the start of the dance until the very last song! James was very open to our playlist suggestions, as well as knowing when to add his own songs...

Your ceremony was amazing. Over looking Wisconsin, from the giant hills, and hawks flying near the ceremony.
James was great! He was really easy to work with and helped with any requests we had. He was super organized and was available for a call if we needed anything clarified. He did all our music and microphone needs. He started with our ceremony, ...
to cocktail hour, to dinner with speeches, and then dancing. He kept the dance floor busy and people out there the whole night. He has a super fun personality and just wants to play the music you want to hear!

James was the real mvp of the night! We had the best evening we could possibly imagine and a huge portion of it was due to our amazing DJ! With a wide variety of trending music and classic party songs our dance floor was poppin all night long!
We cannot thank James enough for just how much fun we had at our wedding! He really understood our venue and made sure that all of our guests would be able to hear our vows, announcements, and music. Everyone was telling me the day after just h...
ow much they loved the music and keeping the dance floor hopping! I would book James again in a heartbeat.
James was easy to work with from the start. His professionalism, pre-planning up to the day was seamless and made us feel relaxed and that we were in good hands. He was natural, fun, and a great speaker. He is the perfect wedding MC and knows h...

The DJ was absolutely amazing to work with. I had to plan our wedding from out of town, so it was pretty difficult. He made it so easy for me and made me feel very assured that everything would be great. When we met with James to go over all th...
e details, he made it even better! He was extremely personable, had a good attitude, and was so helpful!
James is a great DJ. He played all the songs we wanted and everyone had a great time. During dinner we encouraged people to play a dice game, if it rolled an odd the roller will have to do something. If it rolled an even, the bride and groom...
will have to do something. People were nervous to do this, so James brought the dice every table and the crowd loved it.
We cannot say enough good things about James! He is amazing at reading the room and keeping people on the dance floor. He takes requests and is great at deciphering if the song is a "listening" song or a "dancing" song. Many of our guests the n...
ext day talked about how good the music was and how much fun they had. He is very professional, super fun and high energy personality, and hands down the best wedding DJ we've ever seen. HIRE HIM IMMEDIATELY!!! Thank you James!
James is a musical genius, knowing when to switch up the music and to keep everyone's attention. He kept everyone updated on when things would be happening. Also the karaoke was extremely fun and kept the night going. Wish it wouldn't hav...
e ended.
He did an amazing job! Even with last minute things! He got everyone dancing, even the people that don’t like to dance!
Are you looking for a fun DJ who will go above and beyond your expectations? Then James is your man! James worked with me with so many different ideas I had for the ceremony, the grand entrance and even a surprise for the groom during dancing. ...
He was the life of the party and kept everyone on the dance floor. His energy is infectious. James was at the venue from 1:00 pm until midnight and he still wanted to go for longer. It was my husband and I who had to tell James to go home. You will not regret choosing James for your big day.
Response from the Vendor on 07/16/2018
I had so much fun at the wedding. Thank you again for making me play yard games. I don't normally play the games while I am working. :)
Don’t get me wrong. He was a great dj. He is super polite and knows what’s up. But he did not coordinate with the ceremony venue ahead of time to get power to the tent, and we ended up rigging a trucks power to use for the ceremony music. His M...
C skills could also use some work, we couldn’t quite understand him when he announced things like our grand entrance, bouquet toss and father daughter dance. BUT he kept our families on the dance floor so that was a good thing! And we couldn’t beat his price. He also had a very nice display of his devices, hiding cords and such.
The DJ was so much fun. His personality was perfect. Everyone loved him. The dance music was great, the dance floor was never empty.
The DJ was amazing. The uplighting and music was perfect. We could not have had a better night.
James was referred by a friend. We had a specific timeline with our venue and James kept things timely. He played all the music we wanted, including my dad's polka music. He's awesome.
James did an excellent job at my 10/7/17 wedding! Kept the floor full all night and did everything I asked for. He used my music list as a guide and filled in with energetic party songs! My guests have complimented his work and keep telling us ...
what a great party it was! Thanks James!!!
A friend referred James. We do to. We had a limited budget. His price was very low and he did the whole day for a great price.
Our party was so much fun. We threw a party for our anniversary and James recommended a great playlist. Everyone loved it.
James was great from the first day we met. Everyone had fun.
The DJ was great. We met him at a birthday party where he was the DJ. He was highly recommended by several people at the party. They were right. The entertainment at the wedding could not be better.
DJ James really brought the party! Working with him from the beginning was a pleasant experience. His portion of our wedding planning was one that came with zero stress. Even when we requested some difficult-to-find or short-notice songs, he fo...
und everything. Audio-visual effects during the ceremony and reception were professionally executed. The up-lights were an excellent touch at our venue. He was very diplomatic in managing the attendee’s requests. He had great energy; the wedding party loved him. He made sure to be available for all important meetings and remained flexible through a changing agenda. He delivers what he promises. We definitely recommend him to friends and family.
James worked with us and the venue to make sure everybody was having a good time. His music selection was great and he really had us all dancing the night away. Thank you James for everything!!
Excellent choice! He had amazing communication throughout the entire planning process and is so personable it was as if we were talking to our friend! He played every song even with last minute adjustments and he knew when to switch things up b...
ased on watching the crowd. I know I liked him so I hope our guests did too! But judging by the compliments All night people were also pleased :)
Response from the Vendor on 05/02/2017
Thank you for the very fast review. I had so much fun. Your mom pulling me on the dance floor was the best. :)
James was awesome. He was always available for me. I lost track of how many times I emailed him and he met up with me several times to discuss the wedding. The wedding went exactly the way I wanted. He was able to get all the songs I wanted...
including the Polka songs my mom likes.
My wedding went perfect. The DJ played all the songs I wanted and had a great light show. The price was the best of all the DJs we looked at and he could not have been better.
James was awesome! Our wedding had over 600 people in attendance and James managed to keep them all entertained with great music and beautiful lighting. After dinner and once the dance reception started, his whole ensemble drew everyone to the ...
dance floor and kept people there all night. He's very flexible and was able to come the day before to help with rehearsals as well as playing music for the ceremony. This came in really handy because we had two specials songs during the ceremony. The weather was crazy that day but James knew how to handle the sound with the space we were in. I'd recommend him to anyone needing a DJ! PS we didn't get to do karaoke at the wedding, but i went to one of the bars where he was hosting karaoke and it was awesome!
If you are looking for a DJ who is focused on making your wedding reception fun, energetic and personalized to your needs, then James is your man! Our guests had an amazing time with the karaoke and cannot stop talking about the fun James crea...
ted. James was able to accommodate almost all of the guest song requests and provided alternatives when specific songs were not available. He was very organized providing us with a reception layout which we were able to modify to the style of our wedding. Guests were kept informed by periodic announcements from James which allowed us to stay focused on spending time with our family and friends. Thank you James for helping make our wedding absolutely perfect!

Your wedding was so much fun. I didn't want it to end.
James could not have been a better DJ. He was recommended by a friend for another wedding he did. His energy is through the roof. From our first meeting, I knew he was the DJ for us. His personality is perfect for the job. He made sure the...
wedding turned out exactly the way I wanted it. I knew exactly what songs I wanted played. There were even songs I loved that I couldn't believe James was able to find. My family absolutely loved him. I will recommend him to anyone.
Response from the Vendor on 04/01/2016
Thank you. Your family was so much fun. Your mom's dance skills were incredible!
James did the wedding just like we requested. My husband is from the Netherlands, so we wanted a Dutch style wedding. He made sure everything was done perfectly.
Response from the Vendor on 03/26/2016
Your wedding was so much fun. Cutting the tips off the grooms socks during the first dance, for good luck, was very awesome.
James is a great DJ. My wife and I knew him for over a year in karaoke and we decided to have our wedding in our hometown in Two Rivers. He did not charge extra for distance. During the dinner, my groomsman and I wanted to sing a song to my ...
wife. James allowed us to plug our guitars into his equipment. He was always on top of things and played all the music we wanted. I'd recommend him to anyone.
Response from the Vendor on 02/01/2016
I had so much fun at the wedding. Your hometown is beautiful and you had a perfect view of the lake. Your wedding was a non-stop party. I loved it. :)
James did an awesome job as our DJ. He got everything we needed including unique songs and karaoke for when we walked the isle and got married. He was able to play every song the bridal party wanted and kept the crowd going.
Response from the Vendor on 01/25/2016
I had so much fun when you two renewed your vows. Singing a love song while walking the aisle was very clever. Then singing together was great. I can't wait for your 20 year renewal. :)
We selected James to be our DJ, mainly because I previously knew him from his karaoke nights. But what we got from him was by far more than I could ever imagined. From the very beginning he was in communication with us. From the first meeting a...
bout our wedding to the last song played we've enjoyed every minute of James. He is very professional and has an answer for anything you ask. He is very accommodating and found songs for us and even changed and added songs the night before per my request. He aimed to make us feel the least stressed possible. He catered to what we wanted and the outcome was amazing! We've received several compliments on James and how fun out reception was. James did our ceremony music as well and found us particular songs I was looking for. I'd recommend him to anyone! We had a blast!
Response from the Vendor on 01/25/2016
I had a blast. The dance floor was always packed and your bridal party kept requesting the best songs imaginable. I really liked the decorative cupcakes.
