DJ Connection

te multiple phone calls with the DJ Connection staff and spending ample time building out 40 must-play song requests and even personally making and sharing a song with them, they completely failed to execute our plans and were genuinely the weakest point in our wedding. We paid extra for dinner music and we did not receive any. We provided them with 40 song requests and did not hear even half of them. No slow songs were played. We gave them specific instructions for our first dance songs and one of them was never played so my dad and I did not have the dance we anticipated and worked on for weeks. I do not recommend spending your money here. They will fail you and then be unreachable. After encouraging us to do the photo into a dance song trick, the DJ NEVER did this, and ended up playing our hype up the dance floor song immediately after we announced that it was time for our guests to sit for dinner. Who does this??? He also played the same song three times in an hour and as I said, was clearly not playing off of our must-play list. I will be working to get some of our money back, especially the extra we spent on the dinner music.

ERYONE was on the dance floor for the entire night. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ.

had a long list of "must play" songs but our DJ played less than half our list and didn't respect what we wanted. During our wedding dinner, we specifically requested classic 50s/60s dinner music but the DJ started playing music that was very out of place. When we had the mother of the bride go up to request the music be changed, the DJ gave her attitude and was angry at her despite her paying him for the event. We also were NEVER offered to speak witht the DJ before the event to communicate about what we wanted for our wedding day. Our DJ also interrupted our dinner to give us his business card, begging for a positive review but never asked us about any requests. We had groomsmen ask the DJ to play some sentimental songs for us and he denied their request. We had requested 1-2 slow dances per hour and he never played a slow dance. When we left negative feedback on another site for DJ Connections, they offered to pay us $350 in hush money just to delete the review!! Be warned that rather than use money to hire competent DJs, they will harass you over negative reviews and offer to pay you to take down negative feedback. Keep in mind that the overwhelming positive reviews are because they beg you to leave reviews and pay you to remove bad reviews. Be warned and avoid this shadily ran company.

dibly impressed with the entire process from start to finish.From the moment we connected with DJ Connections, their professionalism shone through. They gave us a fantastic call where they walked us through all our music selections, the event timeline, and a detailed breakdown of how everything would unfold. They even went above and beyond by suggesting songs that perfectly fit our wedding theme, which we absolutely loved and incorporated into our playlist. This thoughtful guidance made us feel completely confident and prepared for the big day.Then came the magic of the reception itself, all thanks to DJ Shakespeare! He completely livened things up and followed every single one of our requests to a T. He hosted the evening with incredible energy and charisma, making the entire night an absolute delight for us and all our guests. What truly stood out was his incredible skill and flexibility; toward the end of the night, we made a few last-minute music requests, and he seamlessly blended them into the set, making it sound like it was part of the original plan. It was truly beautiful!We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our sincerest thanks go out to DJ Shakespeare for his amazing talent and the entire DJ Connections team for their outstanding service. If you're looking for the perfect DJ for your event, look no further – highly, highly recommend!

hroughout the planning process all knew what was going on (even if we had never spoken before) and were extremely helpful with any questions that we had. The only thing I wish was different would have been us being able to actually meet the DJ before the wedding day. DJ did a fabulous job, but we were barely able to speak to him the entire night.

f you use them for lighting services too. They are giving me a partial refund due to these issues, which I appreciate. Do keep in mind that you speak to customer service representatives on the phone, so you do not get to speak with or meet your actual DJ until your wedding day, which I did not like. You have to just trust that everything you want is communicated correctly to your actual DJ. They are also super upbeat on the phone, which I found mildly annoying. Some people might enjoy that level of excitement for their wedding, but I personally did not. It was worth it though for the ultimate turnout of the amazing dance party the whole night! I would recommend them to friends and family, minus the uplighting services.

ave a great system set up to input songs and build playlists and do-not-play-lists. They also set up two phone calls to go over wedding details and make sure they have what they need for the DJ they assign. They are service oriented and easy to reach! For our wedding day, the DJ set up on time and was ready to go for all the different events on our timeline! Really wish I could have given 4.5 stars because the only critiques we had were wishing we could have gotten in touch with our DJ before the wedding just to know his name and connect and that some songs we listed to be played during the dance part of our wedding didn't make it. Overall fantastic experience and would definitely recommend!

offerings/price points. DJ Connection really heard us when we requested a DJ that would be a hype man but not cringy or annoying. I think that is an advantage of this company: they have so many DJ's that they most likely will have someone whose personality matches what you're looking for. Thanks to Marcus, our DJ, and the rest of the DJ Connection team!

roduction office was extremely rude and was rushing me off the phone during my last call to set my music selections. He failed to get me in touch with my DJ nor did he even mention that I get to talk to the DJ. For my big day I was so let down by this company. The wrong song was played when I walked down the aisle, the wro g song 2as played when the bridal party entered the reception, and the wrong song was played for the groom and MIL dance. I called the Atlanta office and expressed my issues and complaints. The manager said he would talk to his team and get back to me. I never heard from them again. My wedding was in October 2024 and I've been patiently waiting for them to call me back. Please do not book this DJ for your events. I'll never get that moment back and I've been planning my wedding for 2 years and was completely let down by the DJ.

went smoothly. DJ connection however, was a bit aggravating. The portal sucks, you have to upload your music to Spotify and cross it over…. Or download your songs one by one. My Spotify playlists didnt cross over. So on my last call I ended up emailing my playlists to the production team. I was charged an extra $250 for separate ceremony site last minute after the original person booking me stated they had done many weddings at my venue so one location was adequate. I feel like if you are paying this much money for a DJ- the last thing you need to be doing is messing with an outdated portal and getting last minute charges. DJ Johnny saved you, DJ connection!

he volume of the music when asked. He made our reception the party of a lifetime for us. If you like a DJ that arrives on time, sets up quickly, and is animated to your preference, DJ Connection is the DJ company for you!

e. We appreciated how quick DJ Asante responded to any issues that arose on Wedding Day (e.g. Timeline behind schedule, minor scripting update, etc). The lighting and microphones that were part of the package worked well so no issues there. However, we were not too fond of how the company assigns DJs last minute. We did not receive the name of our DJ until the week of our wedding. We would feel more comfortable knowing who our DJ was and having a meeting at least 2-4 weeks prior to explain our vision for the wedding and the MC scripts. Instead, we spoke to someone in the Production team who handled all the communications. Granted, they were very quick at responding to any emails and changes made to the playlist.

nd out who my dj was a couple of days prior to our wedding so that kinda stressed us out, I would have much rather of spoken to our dj about our event rather than speaking with the production team but it is what it is. The music and lighting were great and well worth the money we spent. The only thing I did not like during our wedding was the mic feedback during our ceremony and when people were giving speeches. Other than that, the event ran smoothly and our dj was great!

spaces were seamless. Our DJ, James, read the energy of the room very well and picked awesome transitions between songs. We wish the specific DJ would have been assigned a bit earlier (we didn’t have a name or contact until the day of the wedding). And, a run-through of timing would’ve helped the day flow a bit smoother.

time to the event and very professional. However, at times it seemed like they were not actually a DJ and we felt that they were not properly prepared by the company. When we went to introduce ourselves to the DJ, they told us that our original DJ got sick and that they were filling in. Of course I understand that these type of things come up, but this was not communicated to us ahead of time. We had a friend mix our first dance for us that we had choreography to. We shared this file with the DJ company before the event, but when I asked the DJ to confirm that they had the file for our first dance on the wedding day, the DJ communicated that “headquarters” did not load it onto his board but that he pulled it up on Spotify (which would have completely surprised us and ruined the dance we choreographed). We had to scramble to get the file sent to the DJ so that our first dance wasn’t ruined. Not all of our “must play” songs were played throughout the reception which I can understand since we had added a lot, but the DJ even played a song on our “do not play” list that someone had requested. Throughout the planning process the company specifically asked for a song to play for the “anniversary dance” which we provided to them. On the wedding day, the DJ announced the anniversary dance, but clearly had no idea what an anniversary dance was. Towards the end of the song someone tried to explain to him that he should be announcing anniversaries throughout the dance so that the last couple on the dance floor was the one who had been together the longest, but they went in the wrong order and it was already too late - we just had to scrap it. There was absolutely no mixing or blending in between songs and instead the DJ kept using a record scratch sound. By the end of the night, we couldn’t help from rolling our eyes every time we heard the record scratch. Overall, we wish we had just skipped booking a DJ and used a Spotify playlist instead to save the cash and avoid some of this headache.

my wedding. I had so much fun planning out my big moment music. Our DJ was so great on the day of our event. She played everything just as I imagined it and kept our party going for hours. Everyone was raving about her music choices and loved the energy she gave.

DJ. We kept inquiring and could get no answer who our DJ was. Even 48 hours before our wedding I was told they had been trying to confirm our DJ but we could not talk to them yet. We ended up canceling them less that 48 hours before the wedding because we had no confidence, they were really going to provide us with a DJ. They told us it was abnormal to want to talk to our DJ and that most people just pick their songs and fill out the sheets and the DJ shows up and follows along. That is NOT how we envisioned this at all. This is a super important job and no way we would do it that way. SO beware we have since learned they are DJ brokers and they outsource the job to a DJ. This is a very unprofessional vendor and not reliable in my books. I do not recommend this DJ service. They also would not refund our deposit saying we cancelled less than a week before the event. I felt they did not fulfill their part of the contract to have a DJ for us and they failed. Later they agreed to return the whole amount ONLY if we agreed to a non-disclosure confidential refund agreement and could take no action to review them and could post no bad reviews or speak of the problems we had with them. We did not agree to that so we COULD tell people what happened so it will hopefully prevent anyone else from going through what we went through.

udget and make sure you are happy for your big day. They have an app to add or delete music you might like or dislike, and it’s super easy to use. DJ Asante from DJ Connection performed very amazingly as he kept all my wedding guests on the dance floor and we all had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this business.

plan out your day and help create a playlist. Our DJ was one of our best vendors for our wedding (right with our photographer and videographer). I cannot recommend DJ Connection enough.

stuck dancing to 3 minute songs the entire night. I even heard a few songs twice. We could have saved the money and hooked up Alexa. When it came to being a hype man, the DJ we were assigned just didn’t do what was expected of him. The announcements were weird and he was definitely unsure of what he was doing. It was not good. Would not recommend!

ongs we requested, kept the music going until we were ready to turn it off, and cleaned up very quickly!

We also had people come up to us and tell us how great he did - Shout out to Miles!

Would definitely use again!

music for the wedding day, and our DJ was kind and helped us have a blast of an evening.

inal planning meeting was done without our actual dJ. I didn’t even know his name until I met him on the wedding day 2 hours before. That part was a little nerve wracking but our dJ that they sent pulled through and did a great job.

irectly prior to the wedding day. DJ Chanelle was great, and she adapted the playlist based on our guests' energy. Overall, it was a great value for our wedding.

online portal they supplied. You can add any song as long as it can be found on Spotify! This includes all the instrumental versions like what we played during our ceremony.

of music I requested at all. I’m very upset I paid so much for a terrible mix of music.

customize and add songs to your playlist. Although there can be some trepidation with working with a big company and not talking to the DJ beforehand, everything went off very smoothly. DJ Connection even helped me add in a secret song for my wife and sister in-law that was kept hidden from her until the very last moment. Seth kept the party going all night and there never seemed to be a lull on the dance floor. Additionally, we had an "after party" in a different room at the venue and Seth was able to quickly move his equipment and keep the energy going without missing a beat. We highly recommend DJ Connection.

t our DJ was so fun and made sure we all had a good time!

eremony perfect!

Connection has a great online portal that makes planning your event a breeze. everyone a talked to was a huge help. Getting ready for a wedding is hard and they made this part very easy.

ed on us multiple times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I highly recommend DJ connection. They helped make our big day perfect. They were always there during the planning process if I had any questions or concerns.

as an overall terrible experience. A few notes/misses that occurred on my wedding day 1. DJ was asked to wear a suit/tuxedo since our wedding was black tie and he arrived at the venue in sweatpants and a hoodie. Had to be asked to change several times as guests arrived early and he changed into a button down and dark jeans. 2. Since we had a hindu/catholic wedding I created a sheet that detailed every song,album, singer, and even timed cues of when things had to be played/changed. I went over this with the DJ and the production team and the DJ the day of the wedding still missed important cues for the hindu ceremony. 3. DJ played the wrong version of the song (even though I specified) as I walked down the aisle 4. Was asked to not take song requests during cocktail hour/dinner and had to be reminded by me the bride several times to stick to the song list 5. Dinner was wrapping and cake was being served but the DJ decided to switch to dance music - of course our guests were looking forward to the cake but the DJ being so unaware of what was happening decided to get on the dance floor himself and dance by himself......This overall was just odd and very uncomfortable since guests just wanted to finish eating 6. When I complained about the service to the management team at DJ connections instead of helping resolve they asked for time to review the DJ's mic to confirm I was telling the truth, I understand wanting to protect your team but as a bride who had to be stressed on her wedding day due to the DJ's lack of performance is quite appalling in my opinion. Honestly both myself, my husband, and my planner had to be on him to do the most basic aspects of his job. When you're paying a vendor you expect them to get it right especially when you as the bride go above and beyond to make their life easier and this case DJ connections completely dropped the ball and I wish I had booked anyone else so I didn't have to stress on my wedding day.

e sure to communicate as much before the date so there was little confusion the day of.
