We had a very non-traditional wedding with a last-minute booking, but Chris absolutely crushed it as our DJ! He went above and beyond our expectations and was such a joy to work with. My guests couldn't stop raving about his smooth transitions and creative mixes, seamlessly moving from one song to the next. He hit every cue perfectly and kept the energy up all night. Chris was unbelievably professional and just a pleasure to have around. I honestly can’t praise him enough—my legs are still sore from dancing so much! Highly recommend him for any event where you want a great time

Absolutely Incredible – Chris Made Our Wedding Unforgettable!
We cannot say enough amazing things about DJ Chris. From the moment the day began, he was precise, professional, and completely in control in the best possible way. He didn’t just play music he led the entire flow of our wedding, making everything feel seamless, smooth, and perfectly timed.
Chris had this incredible ability to read the room, coordinate with our vendors, and guide every moment so naturally that we never once had to stress or even think about what came next. He handled transitions with flawless timing, kept everyone informed, and made sure each part of the night from the ceremony to the grand entrance, speeches, special dances, and open dancing unfolded exactly the way we imagined.
And the party… WOW. He kept the energy high all night! The dance floor was packed, our guests had the time of their lives, and the music felt so perfectly tailored to our vibe. He mixed everything effortlessly and kept the momentum going from the first song to the very last.
Truly, we could not have done it without him. Chris wasn’t just a DJ he was the backbone of our entire event. Because of him, our wedding ran smoothly, felt magical, and turned into one of the most fun nights of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, talented, organized, and passionate about what they do, Chris is the one.
We are beyond grateful. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made.
Any questions?

It was such a pleasure working with Chris for our wedding! Having fun on the dance floor was a huge priority for me because I love to dance, so the DJ was actually one of the first vendors we booked! I could tell right away on our first phone call with Chris that he would set a great tone for the wedding and pay attention to our desires for the vibe and energy. He was super easy to work with and communicate with throughout the planning process. We had a few special requests (like a song to play before the processional began and a custom mix for our grand entrance) and he made it super easy. I had full confidence in him going into the wedding day and he did not disappoint. I highly recommend CVU Event DJs for your wedding! Experienced, friendly, good communication and good vibes.

Chris was absolutely amazing! From the start, he made sure we were both on the same page about the timeline and music, which made everything run so smoothly. He came prepared with backup plans for every possible scenario, which really helped ease my stress on the big day. I loved that I could put together a playlist, and he built on it perfectly — the mixes were incredible! If I ever need a DJ again, I will 100% be working with Chris. Highly recommend!

My fiancé and I were looking for a DJ for our wedding in Foresthill, CA. We wanted a DJ who would be attentive to our specific preferences and needs, and Chris delivered just that! He was friendly, not pushy, punctual in meeting, and crafted an experience that truly suited our wedding experience. Chris was on time, communicated clearly, and handled all of our audio/music needs including mics for the ceremony, toast speeches, and an awesome dance experience. 10/10 would recommend!

Mic Drop Moment: Hire DJ Chris!!
We cannot say enough amazing things about DJ Chris Georgios! From start to finish, he absolutely crushed it at our wedding. He read the room perfectly, kept the energy high, and created the exact vibe we were hoping for. Every transition was smooth, every song hit just right, and he truly made the night feel like us. Our guests are still raving AND will continue to, about how fun the dance floor was!
Chris was also incredibly professional, extremely personable and easy to work with leading up to the big day. We honestly felt like we had known him for years. He would stop and call me right away if I needed something. He listened to our preferences, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure the timeline flowed seamlessly.

Chris with CVU was excellent! He came early to set up before our wedding began and got straight to work with no questions or issues. Every song and every announcement was right on queue. From the ceremony to the grand entrance, father daughter dance, mother son dance, (Etc) everything went according to our timeline perfectly. This dj worked with our wedding coordinator to make our night perfect. Many guests gave compliments to Chris. Great communication weeks before the wedding, great set up, and very kind. I’m surprised CVU Event DJs was one of the more affordable options. Worth every penny.

Working with Chris and Genevieve was such a pleasure. My wedding music was straight out of a dream; my fiancé and I picked the playlist and CVU Event DJs mixed the songs and executed them perfectly throughout our ceremony and reception. From the communication with CVU to the execution, I couldn’t have asked for more!
Music is such a big thing for me (I was the bride) personally and I am sooooo thankful that the music at my wedding was so catered to my fiancé and I. Thank you Chris and Genevieve! From Stacey and Jordan

CVU Event DJ's were fantastic to work with. Chris and Genevieve were able to execute on their promise for a stress-free process while also being on top of everything and professional throughout. They took the time and care to understand what we wanted from them, and executed it to near perfection. They were genuinely into making sure we got what we wanted from them, which made the whole process so much more comfortable. We felt completely at ease about their services during our wedding, which allowed us to focus on enjoying the day.
Chris and Genevieve were a fantastic choice for our wedding, we have zero regrets about hiring them.

So much goes into planning the perfect day, but no matter how much planning you do *something* always goes wrong. That's when it pays to have someone in your corner. Chris and Genevieve did a fantastic job of rolling with the punches and making sure our wedding went just about as smooth as possible! From just how active and attentive they were leading up to the big day to their ability to improvise changes when needed, they did an excellent job of making our special day *their* special day. They clearly love what they do and care about making the entire experience the best it can be!

CVU Event DJ’s provided me with the most crucial part of my wedding! They were professional, accommodating, supportive— everything I needed on the most important day of my life. I wouldn’t have had the magical experience without them, and I would 10 out of 10 suggest them to anyone who is trying to have such a stressful day be so fun! Not only were they equipped already, but they knew EXACTLY what I was looking for with ONE consultation. Definitely worth every penny.

My wife and I hired Genevieve and Chris to DJ/Emcee our wedding - they were such a big part of making the evening magical and our wedding so memorable! We had our wedding in Jacksonville, OR so they drove down from Eugene that day with their setup and were ready to go shortly after arriving - simply amazing. They are the best combination of classy yet fun, and have the best energy to keep the celebration moving. So many of our guests commented on the music and how much it contributed to the wonderful time they had at our wedding. In addition to the music, they also managed the sound during the ceremony so that everyone could hear and it was perfect. Music at our wedding was very important to us and we're so grateful we found Chris and Genevieve for our big day. Our venue was also very happy with their professionalism and said they would have them back anytime.

CVU Event DJ's vastly exceeded our expectations as wedding DJs. We hired them to do a wedding with a fusion of Bollywood and American music, which was not the easiest task. Not only did they manage to blend the music seamlessly, but Genevieve also taught our wedding guests to do some Bollywood choreography for the songs. They got everyone up and dancing and having a great time. I cannot recommend this DJ pair more.
