DJ Sherwin was a great DJ and host! He was able to get the crowd dancing and the party going non stop. We got multiple compliments from guests after the wedding about the music selection and specifically asked for DJ Sherwin’s contact. He was very easy to work with throughout the process, great communication and responsive. Great value for the price. Would highly recommend!

DJ Sherwin is wonderful to work with. From the very beginning, he worked with our budget. My husband and I had our wedding at an unconventional venue, where there was a loft and outdoor patio. DJ Sherwin attended our walkthrough and worked with our Day Of Coordinator to ensure that our vision for the wedding would come to life. We provided some songs to our playlist, but ultimately, we asked him to play certain genres and decades, and he delivered and exceeded expectations. Post-wedding, people could not stop raving about how amazing the DJ was. Our wedding was one of the few weddings we really saw almost EVERYONE on the dance floor at some point of the night. DJ Sherwin is extremely attuned to his audience and clients. On top of that, he is also very organized and professional, which made wedding planning that much easier!

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of hiring a DJ Sherwin for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the moment we booked, right up until the last song of the night, he delivered an outstanding performance that elevated our celebration to new heights. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour and the reception, every transition was flawlessly executed. They skillfully blended our requested songs with their own selections, creating a perfect musical journey that had everyone on the dance floor. Hiring DJ Sherwin for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Their professionalism, attention to detail, ability to read the crowd, and overall musical talent made our special day truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to create a magical atmosphere and keep the dance floor alive, we wholeheartedly recommend booking this talented individual.

DJ Sherwin had the unenviable task of handling the last hour of our wedding, when guests were going to be tired and ready to call it a night. We also had a 13 piece band just finish a knock out set, and the bar was extremely high at that point. It was an impossible job, but DJ Sherwin came and turned the tables, and brought us all joyously into the late night with an energetic and brilliant performance. He folded in all of ours asks prior to starting the set, and then took our guests requests in real-time and made them work into the set brilliantly. DJ Sherwin was so reasonable, accommodating, and fun, and he really took an impossible situation and turned it into a rager of a good time party. 100% recommended!

He is friendly and helped us at every step. He was involved and guided us to what is special for us. He was there at the rehearsal and at the wedding he kept the party going. We all had fun.

What an absolute privilege it was to have met and worked with Sherwin. Weddings are tough to plan when you're both super busy. Thankfully Sherwin knows music like the back of his hand. With one initial meeting and a follow up, he knew exactly what we needed to bring our wedding reception to life! On the day of the event, he felt the crowd and played something for everyone. He did so well that our guests could not believe the night was over. Time flies when you're having fun and when Sherwin is your DJ. We hope to work with him again in the future. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and professional the entire way through. Highly recommend!!

This is the 2nd wedding that we hired Sherwin for and he always delivers. Sherwin keeps the dance floor lit and the audience hyped. I provided the music and genres and wanted & it everyone loved the atmosphere. I didn’t want the night to end. Not to mention the lighting. It made our venue that much more beautiful.

DJ Sherwin is a very rare and special Dj. He is very well diverse in his music and knows exactly what to play for the special event. He knows how to keep the party going. Never was there a dull moment on the dance floor. He has such a fun and youthful soul, which shows through his Dj-ing. We are a very satisfied customer, and would absolutely hire him again.

We had a small backyard wedding, was supposed to be a lot bigger but ya know... Covid happened. Sherwin was flexible, his website was super easy to use to add songs, he responded in a timely manner every time. He even helped me with a timeframe for the night. He showed up early to set up, and oh my goodness the uplighting made everything pop! I still can't believe that was in MY backyard!!! It was magical, you could feel the music in your heart and it made the night. I would highly recommend Sherwin!! He was very nice and easy to talk to.

Trust in DJ Sherwin! Amazing and very professional! He made our night perfect when it came to music and entertainment. Not only was if very easy to work with, he even involved us in the design process for the music we wanted!

My experience with DJ Sherwin was great! He is very professional, organized and made me feel at ease with my wedding we planned in a little over a month! It was easy for me to get in touch and hear back from him. I have no prior experience in organizing/planning a wedding and DJ Sherwin made this process effortless for me. All I had to do was fill in the blanks and he did the rest! All my songs sounded lovely, the guests enjoyed themselves, my husband and I enjoyed ourselves, DJ Sherwin looked like he was having a good time as well, the other vendors and venue staff look like they did as well, and for me this is icing on the cake. It was more than I could have ever asked for. He is very flexible, very attentive and makes sure your wedding/event runs smoothly. Your wedding/event in DJ Sherwin's hands will exceed your expectations.

Sherwin really made our wedding unforgettable! He spent time getting to know my husband and my taste in music/preferences. The planning session with him was a lot of fun and we really felt that he cared about our event. He made sure to be in contact with our wedding coordinator and photographer. We had a pretty unique area for the DJ booth (speakers had to be placed inside the covered area, but could face outwards towards the ceremony area), and Sherwin was so adaptable! All I can say is WOW! We got so many compliments from our guests regarding the music and the up-lighting! Look no further! We highly recommend you to book Sherwin for your next event!

Sherwin was amazing ! He was not only thorough and professional, but he played everything we asked for - and more. We had a very diverse listing of music - and he had it all ! He ensured everything flowed - and our guests had the best time ever. It was a celebration that everyone will remember and he contributed to that memory. We could not have made a better choice !

This review is long overdue! DJ Sherwin did an amazing job at our wedding on April 29! Not only did he take into consideration our likes and dislikes when it comes to our music selection, but he also made sure that all my guests were up and having a great time during the reception! He made sure to take in all my little requests for the ceremony songs, and made it transition so well that it wasn’t awkward switching from song to song! Also, our reception looked so amazing because of all the modern lighting equipment he brought in. It definitely was exactly what I envisioned, but so much better! Thanks DJ Sherwin!

DJ Sherwin did an amazing job entertaining our guests during cocktail hour and the reception. He performed double duty as our MC and kept the energy up throughout the entire night. He catered to our every request and with very little guidance, understood our taste in music to perfection. At the least, I would recommend other couples to consider DJ Sherwin to be a part of their wedding. He would certainly be our choice again! Thank you Sherwin for being a part of our special day.

Sherwin will go out of his way to ensure your day is special. From lighting to his amazing humor as a great MC - he goes above and beyond expectations. You DO NOT need to worry about what music he will play as he does research prior to the event and goes out of his way to ensure he has the music you need. He has a variety that ranges from Instrumentals, Latin Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Rap, Oldies and your current pop favorites. His lighting effects will leave a lasting impression on your photographs and envy in your guests minds - no seriously - he is that good. You won't regret it.

Wow we have no words to describe Sherwin and his dedication to us the day of our wedding. He is professional and from day one he helped us with an event timeline and collected details about the event flow and music selection. Provided ideas and provided additional services that we could not afford. He is easy going and flexible and takes very serious every detail. He is excellent. Thanks Sherwin.

I would highly recommend Sherwin as a Wedding DJ. He was very organized and attentive to our requests for the wedding and reception. Sherwin came to meet with us multiple times prior to our wedding and asked many questions we had not thought about ourselves. His organizational forms allowed for easy and streamlined communication, as well as an efficient method of conducting a professional business. During the wedding, he kept the guests entertained and rocked it into the night. We requested a country-filled playlist but he also mixed in songs from other genres perfectly to keep the dance floor active and fun. Sherwin is a top-notch MC and DJ who can do anything and everything! I would hire him again for any event I needed a DJ.

DJ Sherwin was amazing! He was extremely professional. He met with us to go through all the details before our event and made sure we were comfortable with everything. We had several changes, but he was very flexible accommodating our requests. On the day of, he arrived hours early to setup and to make sure everything was working properly. He made everything flow seamlessly and had our guest dancing all night! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.

Amazing understanding to get the wedding party rocking! The dance floor was packed all night! Great song choice and an incredible job pronouncing Thai and French names. Your preparation left no detail unattended. We are so grateful for your care for our special day and for your desire to see us have every confidence in you. We cannot thank you enough for taking our wedding day and making it even more magical. Thank you, Sherwin!
