We had a backyard wedding. And may I say Black tie DJ. Is the only way to go. He worked with us months prior to our wedding making sure everything was perfect then arrived hours early to set up the lighting and sound system to make sure everything was going to be perfect for our special day.
Then change into a tuxedo. Announced the wedding party. With only the flare that he can add. And had people dancing well into the night. By adding songs that he thought would fit. Along with all the songs we chose from different genres. I could not be more pleased with our choice. And I highly recommend using this DJ for any and all occasions you cannot lose.!!!

I also work weddings as a photographer and videographer and have known them for some time. They are very professional, can read a crowd and can keep a party going. These are important things for hosting an event. I’ve seen many receptions die early because the DJ could not read the crowd or were just there playing music. This key in hosting events.
