ng we will forever be grateful for as it is one of the most important days of our lives!
Our DJ, Julian Pierce, was exceptional. Guests commented throughout the evening and even in the days following about how fantastic he was. He had an incredible ability to read the room and curate a playlist that appealed to everyone of all ages and backgrounds, keeping the energy just right all night long.
Leading up to the event, Julian was highly organized and thorough. He provided a detailed planning form and took the time to understand our musical preferences, which gave us complete confidence that everything would align with our vision. That level of preparation made a huge difference and gave us real peace of mind.
On the day of the event, he arrived early to ensure everything was set up perfectly. The sound quality was outstanding, crisp, clear, and well-balanced. His transition from the ceremony to the reception was smooth and effortless. He kept the momentum going, which played a huge role in making the celebration so enjoyable.
What truly stood out was his role as an MC. He guided the entire event with professionalism and ease, from announcements to key moments like dances and speeches. His voice was calm, confident, and welcoming, and he helped maintain a natural, comfortable flow throughout the evening. It became clear to us just how important a DJ is in shaping the overall experience, and Julian excelled in every aspect.
He also went out of his way to connect with our guests and even assisted with things beyond his formal responsibilities, which did not go unnoticed.
In addition to outstanding DJ services, Aria Event Services offers a variety of enhancements at very reasonable prices. We especially loved the photo booth, sparklers, and fog machine as each added a unique and memorable touch to our celebration.
We cannot recommend Julian and Aria Event Services highly enough. They played a significant role in making our wedding day truly unforgettable.
-Brittnie and Kevin Owens
Julian was amazing! We hired him because we saw him DJ for two other weddings. Such a great choice!
I could not recommend Aria Event Services ENOUGH for your next wedding or event. Music is the heart beat of any celebration, and Julian absolutely nailed it! From the perfectly tim...

ay so much fun and kept everything on point. Julian was amazing and knew the perfect vibe to set. He followed our no-play list to a T, even turning down requests from friends that were on the list.

ughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly professional, fun, incredible, amazing, and beautiful. Julian personally came to visit me before the wedding to wish me luck and offer any help he could provide, which helped put me at ease with his friendly demeanor. He worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator to ensure every single detail was taken care of. Aside from his technical responsibilities, Julian was such a fun MC and his lively music set kept the party going all night. Our friends and family are still raving to this day about how much fun they had, and Julian's incredible set was one of the many highlights of our special evening.

t up in four different locations throughout the evening and it looked like such a breeze for him. His job as MC and keeping things running smoothly through the evening was just perfect! We ran behind on time, mostly I think due to some long winded speeches, this really cut into dancing time. Julian coordinated with the venue to give us extra time without us even asking! We also had a few friends performing as musicians throughout the night and he easily worked with them to make sure they had everything the needed. Highly recommend his services, 10/10!
It has been about a year and a half since I've reached out to Julian to be our MC/DJ and not once have my partner and I had an issue. He is professional, prompt, communicated well ...

Julian was so helpful with tasks that went above and beyond his job description, and he worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. Julian's engaging personality and talent for keeping the dance floor packed made our reception an absolute blast. I feel so lucky that we found Julian and Aria Event Services, and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a truly reliable and professional entertainment team to make their special day unforgettable.
Look no further, JULIAN IS YOUR GUY!!!! I can’t say enough good things about Julian!!!! We did things very untraditional and Julian MADE IT HAPPEN with no hesitation!!!! Not only i...
s Julian very professional, he is also a lot of FUN!!!! We had a little rain which made us move around a bit unplanned and Julian was ready to go with a solution! Julian was on top of EVERYTHING! We are sooo beyond happy we chose Julian and you will be too!!!! Julian’s questionnaire is super helpful! I crossed things out and really made it our own. I expected Julian to come back w a ton of questions (since we did things our own way) but he didn’t! Julian took the stress completely off my plate!!! I never Thought about music again! The day of we still didn’t have a 1st dance song and literally mins before we thought of a song & of course, Julian made it happened!!!! Julian is THE ONE!!
Working with Julian was such a fantastic experience from start to finish!! A very important part of our wedding day was the music, as it played a huge role in our relationship. Jul...
ian completely understood the vibe and experience we were going for. He also helped us with some unusual requests as we had a special guest artist perform. He made sure we had the right gear and sound system for them. He made the transitions from each part of the wedding seamless! He's a wonderful DJ and emcee - I would not hesitate to hire him again for another event! Thank you so much for everything!!
Julian is such a fantastic DJ! He was the DJ at our friends’ wedding two years ago, and he stood out so much then that we knew we would want to work with him when it came time for ...
our wedding. It was such a great choice! He was super friendly, warm, easy to communicate with, and all around just great to work with. He did an excellent job with the music, and his emcee skills were on point. We got so many compliments on the music, and had so much fun on the dance floor!
Julian showed up early, played the music we requested, kept the flow going, and was very sweet, professional, & fun. We honestly had the best wedding and Julian played a huge part...
of that. I would HIGHLY recommend Julian, he was an amazing MC and would check in with us throughout the night and also helped with non DJ/MC things (such as opening the door for me and my dad to enter the chapel). He really went above and beyond and I could not thank him enough. Thank you Julian and anyone needing a DJ should book with him!! Huge plus is he is very affordable!
Julian was an incredible MC/ DJ for our wedding this past June. From the beginning, the entire process was so easy to book with clear packages, and ARIA was so responsive and profe...
ssional. On the day of, Julian was super accommodating to last minute changes we wanted to make in the order of events, and everything went seamlessly. We also appreciated how he timed the music and program perfectly, and did such a great job blending all of our guests music tastes (which we were able to submit songs/ styles in advance) while also adding little fun touches. At the end of the night, we were surprised to get light sticks for dancing which all of our guests loved as well. For the last song, I asked Julian to surprise us, and he had the perfect song choice (I'll keep it a surprise in case he wants to use it again.) On the day of the wedding, and even now after, I am still getting guest compliments on our wedding music. I would absolutely recommend ARIA Event Services to anyone who is considering!
We booked ARIA Event Services with the wedding Ceremony & Reception Package. Julian was fantastic to work with and incredibly responsive through the whole process, from our first q...
uestions to the wedding day. We weren't initially sure what we were looking for, but he made planning easy through his Wedding DJ Planner document. He even went above and beyond when our rainy wedding required last minute changes.
Julian was a terrific DJ and did a great job accommodating our music tastes. We had a great time on the dance floor!
We love music and had high expectations for our wedding, and Julian absolutely crushed it! He emcee'd like a pro, played all of the music we wanted in perfect timing (ceremony and ...
reception), and mixed everything in like a boss to keep the dance floor going! From millennials to boomers, everyone at the wedding was happy and had a great time. We got the Perfect Wedding Package and it was so worth it for the extra hour and uplighting package which really tied the whole reception together at night (we had an outdoor wedding). We're so glad we hired him and would not hesitate to recommend his services to everyone!
Julian was great! Very responsive, organized, and communicative leading up to the wedding. During the wedding, he was flexible, helpful, and totally on top of last-minute changes. ...
He also had did an incredible job on the dance floor - we had sort of a weird preference mix of 2000/2010s music, current top 40, and EDM, and he blended them seamlessly, including all of our must-plays. Our guests had a great time, and many of them told us they thought our DJ knocked it out of the park. Thanks, Julian!!
I was so excited when I found Julian and he did not disappoint! He was super responsive and very easy to work with. He did a great job as MC and kept the dance floor packed all nig...

Julian NAILED it. It has been nearly 2 months since our wedding and to this day people are still asking for Julian's contact information. Booking a DJ was one of our biggest stress...
es during wedding season and the day we booked with Julian all that stress completely disappeared.
Julian had an amazing presence with our guests, he mixed music perfectly, and kept the flow of the evening going so well by checking in with us every once in a while to make sure we were happy. We provided him with a Spotify playlist with some songs we really wanted as well as a do-not-play list and he went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Julian to anyone and everyone who wants to have a BLAST at their wedding.
We hired Aria events as our DJ for our reception as well as their Photo Booth. Marcus, the DJ, did SO much more than just provide music to our guests. He went so above and beyond t...
o make the day amazing. I didn’t have an event planner during the reception and Marcus took the lead and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. It was beyond helpful. He was so kind and personable. Aria truly is the full package. We had a beautiful personalized monogram hologram that was displayed throughout the night, glow sticks for the dance floor, CO2 gun (SO MUCH FUN) and the Photo Booth was a big hit as well. I loved looking through all the photos our guests took the next day. I am SO grateful for Marcus and his company.
He was great! Went easily with any changes we needed. Understood all our queues. Music selection was top notch.
Julian at Aria Events was so amazing! He was very professional, responsive and easy to work with!

ow we didn’t select a song for that moment, Julian jumped to the rescue and put beautiful background music on for us and it was just perfect!
His music selection created such a cool atmosphere and kept our guests on the dance floor! He came and checked in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was as we wanted.
The photo booth was such a big hit and we are so happy we added it onto our package! Being able to go through those a couple days after really made us feel like we were reliving our night!
We would recommend Julian in a heart beat! Thanks so much!!
Julian was amazingly professional from the beginning to end of our wedding process. He was engaging and attentive during the interview process to plan for our big day. On the weddi...
ng day, he made sure to play what we asked and also incorporated themed music for the ceremony and transitional moments based on our musical tastes.
Well worth the investment and I highly recommend his services.
Julian was fantastic in every way, responsive, organized, super friendly, and easy to work with. Julian totally understood what we wanted and absolutely delivered, we did not have ...
to think about anything the day of our wedding, everything was handled. We had a small wedding and the dance floor was packed all night, and several guests independently told us they were impressed with the music and DJ. We would HIGHLY recommend Aria Event Services to anyone wanting a fun, flawless event!
If I could do more than 5 stars, I would. Julian was an awesome DJ and I literally have no criticism. I never had to worry about anything, he was flexible about minor changes, and ...
everything went seamlessly. He worked with our photographer/videographer and coordinator and between all of them, we didn't have to worry about a thing and got to enjoy the party! We were so, so happy with our choice in DJ.
But we weren't the only ones there - we've had multiple guests tell us, unprompted, that ours was the best wedding they've ever been to and I know that was because of Julian and his awesome DJ skills! We told him the type of music we were looking for and he played banger after banger, mixed with the right amount of slow songs and guest requests. I wasn't ready for the party to end!
Highly recommend! A DJ can make or break a wedding and you will not be disappointed!
Julian was the best DJ anyone could ever ask for. Quick at replying to our emails and great at confirming our music choices. Everyone loved our music choices and kept saying how ou...

I spent a lot of our planning looking for the perfect DJ and I knew very quickly ARIA Event Services/Julian was the one!! He was so professional, organized, easy going, quick to re...
spond and helpful with any questions I had. He MC’d our wedding flawlessly - from our wedding speeches that went way over on time (lol) to all the extras (special dances, cake cutting, releasing tables for buffet), he made the day SO calm for us! He played the music we requested and then some, and importantly, stayed true to refraining from certain songs/words we didn’t feel were appropriate. I can’t recommend ARIA enough - I would absolutely pick his business if we had to do it all over again. Thank you for being a huge part of our big day!!
Julian was amazing! He helped with our playlist for the wedding and went out of his way to make sure the song that I bought from a 3rd party was able to be played no matter what. I...

Going into our wedding all we knew that we wanted for a DJ was someone that could get the party going and help facilitate the evening. Julian did exactly that and carried an amazin...
g attitude throughout the event. My wife and I had talked about how he had a smile on his face through the whole night and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. He worked hand in hand with our coordinator and made sure everything went smoothly. We met prior to the event to go over our tastes, what songs we would like for the different parts of the wedding, and how we wanted to structure the event. I would hire Julian again 10/10 times and would recommend him to anyone needing a DJ.
Can’t thank Julian enough for such a flawless and fun wedding! Would absolutely recommend and already have!

remier option. Julian had sent over a questionnaire with a recommended timeline for the event, went over it a week before and it didn’t stop there. The day of, Julian showed up and showed up, coordinating with our site leads, and executed a perfect night for my wife and myself. Save yourself the time and research (I’ve done it already), this is the company you want to book with!
Aria Event Services are INCREDIBLE to work with!

t perfectly. He exceeded our expectations by playing music that suited each timeline in our wedding perfectly, when in some cases we only had a general music preference note. He was very punctual and early to arrive the day of to make sure he was prepared at Vine Hill House. Their was a small curveball that had to do with the microphones (not his fault) but because he was so proactive it never became an issue since he had resolved it many moments prior. Of course we would recommend Julian 1000% for any event I’m sure and especially for a wedding.
Thank you Julian!
