CJ's Disc Jockey Service

He checked on us during the dinner, he assisted my husband's elderly father in getting into his seat and even tied a napkin around his neck (at his request :)). He is incredibly kind, and will go above and beyond to get you exactly the experience that you want. Chris takes the time to try and get to know you as a couple through personal meetings as well as a wedding questionnaire. My husband and I were so overwhelmed with work during the wedding planning that we didn't get to give Chris details of our likes and dislikes. But, Chris is 100% the person i would trust to make the party perfect. He has the experience to read the room and the vibe, and he kept the party flowing with perfect timing for fun dance music, slow dance music and even persian music (for my side of the family). We have been to so many weddings since, and realized that Chris has real talent in getting the party started and keeping it going. He was the highlight of our wedding (other than getting married ;))

rience for us and our guests. First and foremost, CJ's talent and musical prowess were truly exceptional. He had an incredible ability to read the crowd and curate the perfect playlist that catered to all ages and musical preferences. From classic hits to the latest chart-toppers, he seamlessly blended genres and created an atmosphere that had everyone on their feet, dancing the night away. The transitions between songs were flawless, maintaining the energy and keeping the momentum high. CJ's professionalism and dedication to his craft was evident from our very first meeting. He took the time to understand our musical tastes, specific requests, and any traditional elements we wanted to incorporate into the playlist. He was receptive to our ideas and offered valuable suggestions to enhance the overall experience. His attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring that every song and announcement was timed perfectly, enhancing the flow of the evening. His equipment and setup were top-notch. He brought high-quality sound systems and lighting that transformed the venue into a vibrant dance floor. The audio clarity was exceptional, and the lighting effects added a touch of magic to the atmosphere, creating an immersive experience for everyone in attendance. In addition to his DJ skills, CJ's ability to engage the crowd and create a lively atmosphere was outstanding. He was charismatic, approachable, and interacted with our guests in a way that made everyone feel included and excited to be a part of the celebration. His ability to seamlessly blend music and engage the audience created an electric energy that lasted throughout the entire evening. CJ's professionalism extended beyond his musical talents. He arrived early to set up their equipment, ensuring everything was in place and tested before the event started. He was well-dressed, polite, and worked seamlessly with other vendors, coordinators, and event staff to ensure a smooth and coordinated experience. Overall, CJ was an absolute star who elevated our celebration to new heights. His exceptional talent, professionalism, and ability to create an incredible atmosphere made our wedding reception an absolute blast. We received countless compliments from our guests about the amazing music and how much fun they had on the dance floor. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who will set the stage for an unforgettable dance party, look no further. This DJ is a true master of their craft and will leave you and your guests with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. A heartfelt thank you for making our wedding reception an absolute hit! - Lia and Daniel

who we had never seen dance, tearing up the dance floor. He played all of our requests and even convinced the wedding venue staff to let us stay for an extra 30 minutes to keep dancing. We had a couple last minute changes that he easily took care of it, allowing us to have a stress-free day. 11/10 recommend! Thank you so much Chris!

and having a good time! He ensures that all those giving speeches feel confident and comfortable! We are so lucky to have gotten to work with him!

whole cocktail and reception ran smoothly. As a DJ, he was able to expertly read the room, create an audible experience and keep the momentum going. CJ was exceptional at understanding what type of experience we wanted at our wedding and then stayed true to that vision. One of my husband’s cousins who has downs kept asking for CJ to play Gangnam Style during the reception. This song wasn’t on our do not playlist but it also wasn’t exactly the ideal song for what we wanted. CJ could just tell that this song could be a game changer for this cousin and for that side of the family. He found us and asked us what we wanted to do and we quickly came up with a game plan. When the song came on, it was an immediate hit and my husband’s cousin and the whole family was living it up on the dance floor. It was a perfect moment of CJ knowing what we wanted from a music perspective, but also knowing when to intervene to create memorable experiences for the guests. The fact that he went the extra step to confirm with us and kept our perspective/wants top of mind showed his excellent judgement as a DJ.

in reading the room and knowing how to keep people dancing. He brought our vision for our wedding reception to life. One thing I admired about the preparation "homework" Chris had us do was to write introductions for our wedding party members and to include details about our proposal. He sent monthly emails to keep us on track and was super helpful when planning our timeline. Chris, we would happily recommend you to anyone in search for a DJ. Thank you so much for being part of our special day. Kelsey & Tom Lang

the reception flowing without a lot of talking or interruptions.

accommodating and friendly. Our dance floor was full all night! Thank you!!

ing for a year due to Covid and Chris was super understanding, easy to work with, and made the whole process seamless. I am so happy with our decision and I highly recommend using them for your wedding too!

nd confetti cannons. Chris helped coordinate the entire thing and it was all incredible! Thank you so much to Chris for being so amazing!

ign due to COVID but Chris immediately found us another DJ to fill in. That's when we met Randy. RANDY IS AWESOME!! He was so nice and just wanted us to be happy with our reception. He helped us plan the timeline of the evening, what to do and when to do it. He flat out kept the night going without any hiccups. The dance floor stayed full and people stayed laughing. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a DJ. Chris and his crew will not let you down!! Thank you for everything!

out clients. My fiance instantly liked and trusted him as well when we had our first meeting with Chris. We had to push back our original wedding date due to covid and he was very flexible and easy to work with. Then a few days before our re-scheduled date our venue was shut down again due to covid and we had to completely re-plan in just a few days. Chris went above and beyond to help us make sure our day was perfect. We were flying by the seat of our pants but no one could tell because Chris was there helping keep everything on track, running smoothly, and thinking ahead all while keeping our guests entertained. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and Master of Ceremonies than Chris, and we couldn't have pulled off our big day without him!

in service that he noticed to ensure that everything went smoothly. He even brought us plates of food so that we didn't have to get up and wait in line with the guests at the buffet. He was extremely attentive and understanding with my elderly parents. The music was on point, and exactly what we wanted. Really, he is the epitome of professionalism and we are so grateful that we were connected to him as our DJ.

ision we lay out for him. Between his willingness to view the event space several months in advance, communicate about specific details to consider, and help us make decisions when we are on the fence, Chris is a hands down #1 choice for professional entertainment and event planning.

him set up he was so prepared. At our wedding on 9/21/19 so many people were dancing because the music was fun and Chris made sure that everyone was having a great time! More importantly, I am an anxious bride and working with him was stress free and he is a professional that knows how to make sure the night goes smoothly. Hire this man!!

e and experience we were looking for to make sure the evening was perfect! An easy example I can think of: We provided our list of requested songs of varying priorities to be played over the course of the night, as is custom. We had a nice mix of fast, slow, etc. But as the evening went on, our guests were not getting off of that dance floor! CJ made the call to not play as many of the 'slower' songs and instead focused on high-energy beats to keep everyone up and moving! Some of you might not like that call, but my wife and I had established very early on with CJ that we wanted it to be a party, and we were thrilled with it! He had the experience to make that call; in lieu of meeting our song requests verbatim, he kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night, which was our MAIN goal. If you wish to be a little more 'strict' with your reception, I know for a fact CJ and his staff will absolutely meet whatever guidelines you establish. We trusted in his years of entertainment expertise to make the right call for what we were looking for, and he absolutely delivered.

ions. We immediately felt like we had finally found our DJ but we struggled because they were outside of our budget of $800.00. For the next week we continued to talk to other companies but none of them were close to CJs. We decided to blow our DJ budget and put our faith in them and WOW we hit the jackpot. We got an email every month keeping us on schedule & Chris's personal cell for those moments we needed advice. He helped us with the other vendors we needed and was full of great suggestions. We met our DJ Scott about 45 days before the wedding and he was AWESOME. He was just the right amount of Funny & Serious. We laughed most of our meeting and knew we were in good hands. The day of the wedding Scott was on top of his game. The timeline went without a hitch, he kept us informed & gave us plenty of notice before we were needed. The Dancefloor was packed all night and Scott had everyone dancing and celebrating. I can't imagine our wedding without Scott, he was truly INCREDIBLE. If you need a DJ who cares about you and your guests, Scott is your guy. It cost us a $400 more than we budgeted but Scott made our wedding worth way more in return.

le, and extremely professional. We enjoyed his sense of humor and admired his attention to detail. It was safe to say our search for the perfect DJ was over after that day. Chris really took the time to get to know the two of us and understand our story and what we expected from him on our wedding day! Prior to the wedding day Chris suggested I record a special letter to my grandpa that he incorporated with the song I walked down the aisle to. It was incredibly special and something I will cherish and be able to have forever! During the planning process Chris was easy to get ahold of and always there for any questions we had. He also had several suggestions for other wonderful vendors. While this whole process of planning a wedding can be overwhelming and stressful at times, his online planner was super convenient and easy to navigate! On our wedding day, Chris was very engaging and had total control and attention of our guests. That was super important for us! While you hope things go accordingly on your big day of course there were things that didn’t and Chris was quick on his feet and able to make last minute adjustments. He was interactive with our guests and kept the dance floor full and dancing all night! Our reception was an absolute blast. He was always there for Jordan and I and just super attentive! We really appreciate Chris and all of his hard work! He is so talented, and went above and beyond for us. While he was our DJ, he felt like so much more on our wedding day and we will be forever grateful! We had several compliments from our guests about how amazing Chris was. Everything was flawless! He was a huge part of why our day was nothing shy of perfect. If you are wedding planning and looking for the best DJ around, Chris Johnson is your guy! :) Thank you SO much for everything Chris!

great that he has so much experience at various venues around St. Louis that we didn’t have to give very many instructions at all on how/where/when to set up. He kept our dance floor going the whole night, and we were so glad we had him there. If you have the option, we highly recommend using CJ’s Disc Jockey Service and requesting Ryan for your special day!

nd emceeing. He is very professional and friendly. We can't recommend him enough.

e wedding and always had specific questions to make sure that we were truly getting what we wanted out of the experience. I have to say that the dance floor was not empty for one minute of our wedding and everyone had so much fun! Thank you Chris for really bringing the party to our reception!

was NOT the case with Chris. I’ve never seen a dance floor immediately fill up when dancing opened (seriously, there were like two people sitting) or stay full the whole night. The dance floor was so crowded that we had to ask the venue to blast the AC. At one point, my MOH abruptly left a conversation to run onto the dance floor, and I often saw people dancing at the bar while they waited for their drinks. One of our guests “complained” that he hated Chris because the music was too good and he never took a break from dancing. Our other complaint (this was a real one) was from a guest who said Chris had denied her request: when my husband asked him about it, Chris said he was happy to play it but he thought we wouldn’t want him to--and he was totally right! This wasn’t even a song on our “Do Not Play”; Chris just understood our vibe and stuck to it the entire night. I danced for almost three hours straight, which is exactly what I wanted from our wedding. It’s also worth noting that he cut our first dance song down by about two minutes and did such a good job that at first my husband thought he’d accidentally sent us the original file. If you want your wedding to be a big party with a packed dance floor, you should hire Chris.

Everyone had an amazing time on the dance floor and the whole night went smoothly thanks to him. He truly cares about his clients and business and it shows through his work.

hris guided us through every step as we talked it out! He was also extremely patient with my indecisiveness! :) The night of the reception he did an amazing job rocking the best tunes that kept the party on the dance floor! The compliment I heard the most was ‘I’ve never been to wedding where so many people danced the whole time!!’ I call that a 5 star success!! Thank you for making our wedding reception so memorable!
