lize how much work this would be, but Chinua ensured that we had everything ready to go for our wedding. He was also super helpful with coming up with his suggestions to help us have a complete list. Honestly, so glad we found him and worked with him to be a part of our big day. Selecting the right DJ is super important and we are so thankful that we found Chinua to make our lives easier. Thank you for helping us create a good energy. We had so much fun working with you and also celebrating our wedding!! If we had to do it all over again, we would again select Chinua.

As the bride’s aunt and helping pull together her backyard wedding, I’m really glad we went with Chinua Unites. From the jump, Chinua was easy to work with—super attentive, profess...
ional, and actually cared about getting the day right for our family. He took the time to understand Desiree & José’s vision and the music they wanted to represent, and it showed. The playlist was on point—kids, cousins, parents…everyone ended up on the dance floor at some point. And throughout planning, he stayed flexible and rolled with a few last-minute changes without missing a beat. If you want a DJ who listens and delivers, I’d definitely recommend Chinua Unites. He played a big part in making Desiree & José’s wedding such a fun, memorable day.

ut your big day. It was my pleasure to honor your & Alissa's choices while adding my professional touch: going through the New York City Hip Hop, R&B & Dancehall classics, but also being sure to keep people turned up to House and Pop bangers as they cheer on Alissa's many dance moves (!) was a great assignment! Also, with a Queens & upstate New York being represented in your families, The Queens County Farm Museum was the perfect choice for a venue. Overall, thank YOU for making me part of your wedding day, Doug!
