th. I loved getting to customize our photo strips and getting a copy of all of the pictures in a guest book and sent to us digitally. The music and lighting kept the dance floor energy up the whole night. Stephen was very communicative the entire process. The planning tools were extremely helpful for the planning process. I appreciated the attention to all the small details of things I wouldn't have thought of. The pricing is very reasonable for anyone wanting great quality without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend them for any parties or events.

They were always readily available to answer any questions or concerns we had. We couldn’t have chosen a better DJ and Photo Booth attendant for our wedding day.

Erin was our photo booth attendant and she did an amazing job energizing the guest to come over and do the Photo Booth. She definitely made sure to keep the party going over there. She made sure to have everyone add an extra strip to a guest book for us to see everyone’s crazy photos.
I couldn’t recommend someone better than these two to do someone’s wedding. I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for our wedding! ❤️

d-fifties so probably did things alittle different than a younger couple - but he went with the flow :). Our dance floor was packed from the minute he played that first open dance song. What a night! Photo booth was a big hit and I guess I missed we got a photo/guest book from it - what a great surprise. Also, since we were married alittle ways from the reception tent (private property that doesn't normally host such an event) I was stressed about a mic for our Officiant and also for the guitar player. Anomaly and team took care of all of it which was a weight off my shoulders ! Thank you again Stephen and team. It was a great night and your part of it was done with professionalism and experience.

Choosing Stephen and his team ended up being one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the start, they were...
incredibly easy to work with — responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. They collaborated with our officiant to ensure every musical cue during the ceremony was timed flawlessly, and even helped our videographer capture clean audio from their setup.
In the planning stages, they took all our playlist preferences into account and made the process simple and stress-free. And on the dance floor, Stephen absolutely nailed it — he read the room perfectly and kept the energy high with an amazing mix.
The extra features were a huge bonus, too. The photo booth (with an attendant!) was a big hit with our guests, and the included guest book was a nice touch. The full setup — indoor and outdoor speakers, wireless mics, lighting effects — covered everything we needed, and the price was incredibly affordable for the level of service we received.
On the day of, Stephen’s team executed everything flawlessly. They didn’t miss a single cue and even helped keep us on track during moments when things got chaotic.
Easy 5 stars. We highly recommend Stephen and his team to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and truly thoughtful wedding DJ.

We cannot say enough good things about Anomaly for our wedding day! Stephen was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very detailed in his preparation and engaged us in multipl...
e conversations to ensure the style and themes for our wedding music were well designed. Further, he listened to our needs/wants for our event and offered suggestions from his previous experiences to ensure we were set-up for success.
On the day of, Stephen and his team were tremendous in their execution of our special day! They were seamless in their set-up and tear down process, which gave us stress free time to continue with our timeline.
Most importantly, Stephen kept the dance floor lively at ALL times! He played the perfect mixture of the songs we requested and other songs that fit our style. There was a great mix of dance party music and the perfect amount of slow songs to give everyone a quick breather. He read the room perfectly to ensure that the dance floor was always lively! He had a great mixture of music (Pop, Rock and Roll, Hip-Hop, etc.) that catered to all crowds.
Finally, the Photo Booth was a popular hit for our guests. Anomaly custom designed a logo to be printed out on all of the photo strips and provided us with a complimentary Photo Book for each guest to place their photos in! Our guests could also print as many of their photos that they wanted so that each person could take home their own copy.
We could not recommend Anomaly and especially Stephen's team more! Worth every bit of the 5 stars we rated!!!

We were completely blown away by Jameson! We had arguably an unrealistic expectation lol. We asked to play Spanish, Greek, and American music (Christian music or chill, dinner part...
y music during the meal). We wanted our cultures on display and the merging of them. He did it so seamlessly.
My husband mentioned that people danced that he never saw dance before from his side. His uncle who is in his 80s was dancing and didn’t want to go home. His family member said his uncle fell asleep at previous weddings lol. The music was so perfect. The last song he played for us made my whole night. It felt like it was just the two of us in the room; it was beautiful (like a rom com moment). Jameson created that moment. The Christian music during dinner time was so perfect. I had no idea there was like proper dinner music versions of my favorite Christian songs and the instrumental Christian music was a nice touch too. Most of the party was dancing almost the whole time and it was a brunch wedding. Some of the beginning songs were some of my dad’s favorite songs, and he passed a few years ago. That was really impactful for me. Zeke connected with my family really well, which was super unexpected. The kindness and attention to detail of both of them was unforgettable. I was completely blown away. Thank you so much, Jameson and Zeke! I am so grateful for you both.

Stephen answered all our questions and addressed concerns before we even brought them up. He assured us that he would adjust his style to whatever tone we wanted to set for the reception, and he and his partner did not disappoint. The music was perfect-he brought the energy for dancing, and kept it subtle during dinner music. The uplighting was also the perfect addition to bring everything together!
The online forms he provided for us made it an absolute breeze in selecting music and drawing up an order of events for the reception which kept everything organized.

We are SO thankful we met Stephen at a bridal expo back in January 2025! From the moment we spoke with him, we could tell he was someone we wanted to work with; very friendly/welco...
ming, professional, & genuinely invested in helping bring our vision to life. The fact that he offered both DJ & photobooth services was a huge plus for us and made planning much easier.
During our first email exchange and onwards, Stephen was incredibly responsive, communicative, and detail-oriented. He made the entire planning process feel smooth & stress-free especially with his online planning tool!!! We were able to add all the songs we wanted (and didn’t want to be played), outline our wedding day itinerary (from entrances to speeches), and even select the vibe and energy we wanted him to create as our DJ and emcee.
For the photobooth, Stephen was just as amazing. He was flexible and allowed us to use our own flower wall as a backdrop, and worked patiently with us to choose the right font, color, and design for the printouts. He even provided a photo guestbook on the day of where guests could leave their photos and write messages, which truly SAVED us because we accidentally forgot our own guestbook that day! AND he sent all the digital copies of the photobooth photos right away, which our guests loved.
On the day of our wedding, Stephen went above & beyond. He was very attentive and even stepped in to help coordinate with the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. When last-minute changes came up he was calm, flexible, & helped problem-solve on the spot. When he opened up the dance floor, he stayed true to our DJ playlist and played the perfect songs for the limited amount of time we had on the dance floor. He got so many of our guests up & dancing until the very last minute! He really understood the kind of atmosphere we were going for and made sure every moment counted.
Stephen made such a big difference on our wedding day and we’re so grateful for his professionalism, flexibility, passion, and talent. If you’re looking for a DJ who also offers photobooth services, is easy to work with, & genuinely cares about making your day amazing–Stephen is your guy! We can’t recommend him enough!!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive and organized, helping us plan out all the details to make sure ever...
ything went smoothly.
As a bride, that was so important, and I truly appreciated how stress-free they made the process.
They were always available to answer questions and ensured everything was perfectly timed. On the wedding day, they kept things running seamlessly— from the ceremony to the grand entrance and throughout the reception. The music choices were spot on, and they knew exactly how to keep the energy up all night. Our guests had an amazing time, and we got so many compliments on the music and flow of the evening. Plus, the Photo Booth was such a fun addition —definitely worth it! Highly recommend!

Stephen from Anomaly was exactly the DJ we were looking for! He was prompt, friendly, and super easy to work with. His charismatic energy and personable style had guests dancing, a...
t ease, and having a great time. We were complimented by guests throughout the night, who said the music playlist was perfect and sounded great. The planning and prep process was also incredibly easy and efficient due to Anomaly’s proprietary planning software/website.
The Anomaly Photo Booth also far exceeded our expectations. Stephen let us completely design the layout of the photos the machine printed. Which was a personal touch our guests loved. The backdrop was beautiful and the resulting photos were bright clear and beautiful - and the setup even included a free guestbook for people to attach the photos. All in we couldn’t be happier and will recommend Anomaly and Stephen to our engaged friends!

If I could give Stephen 1000 stars I would. I have worked with many Dj's before, and never have any come close to his excellence. We had a rare song list most, of our choices were ...
never on a top 40. Stephen took the list, made awesome suggestions, and made it happen. Many people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. After the lights came on at the reception the dance floor was still packed. The photo booth was amazing! Stephen and crew were so kind, professional, and honestly made our day the best! I will use Anomaly Dj and Photo for every event, and will recommend them to everyone looking for a flawless event experience!

If i ever need another DJ/ photobooth again i will 100% use these guys. Stephin is so amazing . Me and my fiance were very unorganized and super stressed with wedding planning but ...
he was so accommodating and reassured us that he is a pro and will make our night amazing regaurdless . Our initial list was made by my fiance and it was alot of underground hip hop/ rap (alot of which was slower pace and not really danceing music). My fiance was very stubborn about how he did not want to hear basic/ cheesey wedding music and i was kinda paniking cause i was not sure if people were going to vibe with what we had. It was also a biracial wedding so there was alot of different kinds of people with different tastes. Even with the crappy list i gave him he was able to get a feel for what we liked and was able to include some underground stuff mixed with some more popular turn up songs to get people on the dance floor. Everyone loved the music especially my fiance who was very very picky . People kept telling me it was the best wedding theyd ever been to, and i def think it was because my DJ was able to really set the mood. He mixed super well and he based the music off what people were jamming to he nailed it!!!!! My guests and i also LOVED the photobooth it was so high tech looking i havnt seen a photobooth like that at any wedding before.

Weddings are such a memorable date and Stephen and Erin made it just that. Stephen was very professional and courteous from the very first phone call. I was slightly fearful that m...
y older family members would not be interested in dancing, but Stephen found a way to get everybody on the dance floor. Not only did everyone have fun dancing but they had a blast at the photo booth. As the night went on, the funnier the pictures got. Again, you two were wonderful and made for a great night. I'd recommend them to everyone I know.
