DJ Johnny was phenomenal. My wedding was the best time of my life and I can thank DJ Johnny for that! He was great at coordinating as well, reading the room, and making sure things 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I feel like if you are paying this much money for a DJ- the last thing you need to be doing is messing with an outdated portal and getting last minute charges.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!

Hi Victoria! My name is Nora, and I manage our team here at DJ Connection. You and I actually spoke a few weeks before your wedding. I'm so happy to hear you guys had a great time on the day-of! That is why we do it, and we'll make sure Johnny ...
knows how pleased you guys were on your special day. I'm sorry you were so frustrated by the portal. When you and I last spoke, I tried to give as detailed instructions as possible to make it easier to input the songs yourself, and did ultimately offer to personally add each of your songs for you to remove any unnecessary stress, which you declined. I would have been happy to do this for you, but I'm glad our Production Team was able to help you out by receiving your song list via email. Likewise, regarding the 2nd Setup, please understand our intent is never to surprise you with extra fees. However, when we find new information about your plans about how to use the venue, our goal is make sure we have everything we need to provide the best experience for you and your guests day-of, and the 2nd Setup was recommended to you 3 months after booking, and nearly 7 months before the wedding. This equipment was recommended to you at this time so it wouldn't be a last minute addition. I'll still discuss your event with our team to make sure we're asking detailed questions about the setup in the early stages of booking, which we currently do, in order to avoid adding this kind of stress to future couple's planning process. Thanks again for letting us be a part of your big day - it was an honor to celebrate you both on the wedding day!
They were communicative and understanding.
Any questions?
Loved using them as our DJ service! The online form is so easy to use and made picking out songs and making a playlist so simple. Would definitely recommend!
DJ Connection was very accommodating and very professional. The music was a little loud for our preference, but David bent over backwards for us and our guests including lowering the 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!
We loved working with DJ Asante at our wedding!! He was the MC and explained a series of games including the Shoe game. He kept the liveliness up with his projection and upbeat tone. 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.

Hi Kimberly & Brian! Congratulations on your recent marriage! Thank you for your review - we are so glad to hear that it all went so well day-of, and that DJ Asante was able to be flexible to changes to the timeline. Things do often change on t...
he fly, so we always aim to be ready to move to a different event at a moments notice. Regarding the assignment of/communication with your DJ leading up to the wedding, we do have options for clients to speak with their DJ much sooner in the process if that's something important to you. To anyone reading this review, just ask about our options, and we'll be sure to discuss what works best for you based on your own needs and timeline! Kimberly & Brian, we thank you again for allowing us to be a part of one of the most special moments in your life, and if you're ever in need of a DJ in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll be happy to help!
DJ Ashante was so much fun! He kept the music flowing and people dancing! The whole process with DJ Connection was simple.
Our DJ Shane was great, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of how the company is run. It seems like they have a pool of djs that they assign to events at the very last minute. I only found 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!
Our DJ had a great energy level, kept the dance floor active, and took special care to pronounce a tricky last name perfectly. Set up and transitions between ceremony and reception 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.
The pre-wedding planning with DJ Connection was overall good, but we ran into issues on our wedding day. I want to start by saying that our DJ was a very nice person - they were on 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.
DJ connection is SO fun. The fun energy starts with your initial planning phone call and doesn't ever end! The planning portal and I were good friends for the months leading up to 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 connection was absolutely a breeze to work with. Their portal made things easy for requesting songs/setting up a timeline before the wedding, and their customer support is so amazing. I had some smallish issues day of that I think could have been avoided, but when I discussed them afterward they were extremely open and listened to my concerns. the DJ they sent was extremely professional and really tried their best to accommodate where changes were made. all in all, we had a great experience.
We booked a DJ 11 months before the wedding with DJ Connections. We wanted to talk to our DJ and be on the same page etc. We were told that about 2 weeks out we would hear from our 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.

Hey Cathy, I'm again happy to explain how we got the where we are today. I'm sorry you felt as though we could not exceed your expectations in the pre-wedding planning phase of your event. Our production team is designed to take down any and al...
l important information to relay to your DJ for the day of the event, taking time and care to clarify every last detail of your timeline, and music. They are set in place to assist our wonderful team of DJ's that are trained from the ground up by our team who all do this as a passion in their spare time aside from their daily work. When we had spoken to you the morning of Thursday, the 25th, (48 hours before your event) we were told it would be okay for our DJ to reach out later in the evening after his full time job hours. When we called you at 4:00PM that afternoon with your DJ on the other line ready to be connected, that's when the services were cancelled. We have upheld every detail of our contract, which also states that a deposit is forfeited if services are cancelled within 7 days of the event date. We did offer a refund agreement to you that is necessary to complete in order to break contract and give you the deposit back, to which you declined. We hope that any future client reading this understands that DJ Connection did everything within their power to ease the minds of our clients, and provide them with an amazing night full of wonderful memories, to which we are sad that we were unable to provide for this client.
Listen to me, hire this business and be entertained on your big day! Very professional staffs, very knowledgeable of their work and very communicative. They work to help fit your budget 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.
My experience with DJ Connection was phenomenal. Our DJ knew what she was doing and kept our guests entertained. The planning process was very easy and they have a great system to 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.
What a nightmare. We went through a series of phone calls to ensure we were paired with the right DJ. Our DJ was very sweet but he played the entire songs (he did not DJ). We were 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!

Hey Tara, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with your DJ. We work hard on scheduling someone that will be a good match for each wedding and we've had nothing but great comments from brides that he's DJed for leading up to your wedding, s...
o we thought he would be a great choice. Your package also came with a conference call several month before so you could chat with him to make sure he was a good fit. As for the music, we train our DJs to play most of the song while DJing because we mostly do weddings and private parties and not clubs. Usually guests at these type of events want to dance to music that they know and love and not remixes or mashups of songs. Ultimately it sounds like we could have done a better job of getting your desired expectations and for that I am sorry we didn't do a better job.
These guys were awesome from the day we emailed them! The planning process was so easy and painless. The day of the wedding, our DJ was who we were looking for. He played all the songs we requested, kept the music going until we were ready to turn it off, and cleaned up very quickly!
I cannot believe this company was actually within our budget! Every single person that we interacted with was SO professional. We had an amazing experience and really loved our DJ. We also had people come up to us and tell us how great he did - Shout out to Miles!
We had the pleasure of using DJ Connection for a corporate client event and Davoul was absolutely amazing. We didn't really know what we needed and they totally showed out for us. Would definitely use again!
DJ Connection was FANTASTIC. They were incredibly kind and helpful from the beginning stages all the way up to the day before. Their online portal made it so easy to pick and plan music for the wedding day, and our DJ was kind and helped us have a blast of an evening.
Did everything perfectly.
The dJ connection was great throughout the process. It was a little confusing I didn’t realize at first that the people we planned most of the event with were not local. Even our final 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.

Hey Katie! I'm so excited to hear our DJ was an excellent fit! Every one of our DJs is local and trained in Atlanta, but sometimes when you call our main office you may get somebody from out of state. I'm so sorry if this caused some undo stres...
s, and it's something we can work on doing better with. We're glad your wedding was perfect, and thank you again for using DJ Connection!
Our experience with DJ Connection was great! The booking process was easy, and the online portal is very convenient. Our only complaint was that we weren't able to contact our DJ directly 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.
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2022
We appreciate the feedback Adriana! I'm so happy DJ Chanelle was able to meet your every need and then some. We do give the option to speak with the DJ before the wedding day, but maybe we could have been clearer about that. Best wishes to both...
of you moving forward!
I’ve heard lots of mixed reviews on these guys, but our DJ was exactly what we were hoping for! We were able to have a few planning calls with them and link all of our songs on the 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.
Booking with DJ CONNECTIONS was seamless and impeccable. The made the process for choosing a DJ so simple I'm glad we chose them. I'm looking forward to our event even more 😊
This DJ was not good at all. He did not play all the songs I requested, messed up my ceremony song, and did not listen to the times I set on the song. He did not listen to the mix of music I requested at all. I’m very upset I paid so much for a terrible mix of music.
Response from the Vendor on 08/24/2022
Hi Brooke! Thank you so much for giving us feedback. After listening through the recording of the reception it sounds like the songs requested were played, so I’m not sure what songs we missed - I apologize for any miscommunication there! Our g...
oal is to provide the best wedding entertainment possible! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us so we can more clearly understand how to improve. Thank you again for the feedback and thank you for choosing DJ Connection!
DJ Connection was wonderful and easy to work with! Our DJ kept the dancing going all night!!
DJ Connection and our DJ, Seth, did a fantastic job throughout the whole process. The portal is a little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it becomes very easy to 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.
Our DJ was fantastic for our wedding! The song selection process was so easy with their online portal and we were able to get every song we wanted! Not only was everything easy, but our DJ was so fun and made sure we all had a good time!
My DJ was amazing!! She was so friendly and checked in with me or my day of coordinator with any issues or questions. I highly recommend for any events! She made my reception and ceremony perfect!
These guys were awesome. I asked for a party and that's what I got. My guest loved the music choices. We danced for hours. My feet still hurt. Besides the day of awesomeness, DJ 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.
Malcom was our DJ for our wedding day and he did not disappoint! He played all my songs that i picked out and added some additional dance songs at the end. He was so nice and checked 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.
We hired DJ Connection for our Cincinnati wedding (Hindu and Catholic ) and had high hopes since the onboarding process was so streamlined but HATED our DJ on our wedding day, it was 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.
Response from the Vendor on 02/04/2022
We appreciate your feedback it was great speaking with you about these issues. I was also glad to hear the ceremony was flawless and the DJ made sure all the special dances went smoothly, and you had a great dance party. As we told you when y...
ou first booked we are not the best fit for a ceremony performed in a foreign language or a ceremony that would require special knowledge about a culture. Our DJ followed the cues provided by a family member and the coordinators, as you told me the DJ missed one cue during the ceremony. We might want to ask the others involved in giving said cues. The DJ did play the cocktail hour music but was told to turn it down due to family pictures. Our DJ's do wear street clothes to set up as we do not want to ruin or dress clothes, but I'm sorry your guest arrived early. Per the contract you signed our DJ's will be dressed business professional, dress shirt, tie, dress pants, and dress shoes. We never guarantee our DJ will be in a suit much less a tuxedo. Again we would advise a bride to find a specialized DJ for such a task. If the DJ was wearing dark jeans that would not be acceptable. Thank you for your feedback these issues have been and will continue to be addressed.
Truly amazing experience! Our DJ Steven was super flexible. They helped set up a timeline for the day and when we went off timeline they continued to keep the party going. They made sure to communicate as much before the date so there was little confusion the day of.
My husband and I loved our experience with DJ Connection and specifically DJ Kym. DJ Connection was very responsive even when my husband and I had some confusion over time zones for meetings. DJ Kym provided the perfect amount of energy and flexibility for our wedding- including working with us when we had rain and low energy guests.
We hired DJ Connection for our wedding on 11/19/21 and i couldn’t have asked for a better company to be at my wedding. Our DJ read the room and kept the vibe going. My husband and I and our friends still talk about how fun our wedding was and it’s been 2 weeks. They played all of our requests and even asked if we had any specific artist we wanted to hear. My husband had thought of a song the day of and asked the DJ to play it and he had no problem with it! Not to mention the booking phone call is awesome! they go through everything and they’re the FUNNIEST people!
DJ was super helpful during the process. all my guests loved the DJ energy and lighting setup!! Thank you guys!!
My wedding was last week and we had the pleasure of getting Elijah as our DJ. He honored every request we made, kept the energy we requested constant, and made our night flow smoothly. He had a great attitude and was super friendly too! We loved how professional and detail oriented he was too! 10/10! If we ever need a DJ again we hope it’s Elijah through DJ connection!!
Great customer service, wedding went well & Dj was great. Defiantly recommend.
The music was all correct but we could not hear it very well. It was a rainy day for our wedding but the DJ did not play our music loud enough for us to even hear it. I had my first dance with my husband and my dad and we were practically dancing to nothing. We told him to turn it up but I don’t believe he did. He did an okay job with staying on schedule. I’m not completely disappointed but definitely not satisfied.
Response from the Vendor on 07/30/2021
Thank you for the feedback Emma! We're so happy our DJ played all the songs you wanted while keeping things on schedule! Rain or shine, our goal is to provide you with an excellent DJ service. That said, during a thunderstorm, we want to make s...
ure the music is heard without being too loud for your guests. We're glad our DJ checked in with you about the volume levels, but we should have kept checking to make sure they were exactly where you wanted. This is something we will look out for in the future, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Again, thank so much for choosing DJ Connection!
This service was amazing! The planning process was really helpful to me and the DJs we talked to on the phone had really amazing passion and energy! The DJ even though we didn't meet until the day of, he was great-very punctual, early, professional, and accommodating. The DJ actually had great instincts and pointed out some helpful ideas.
My only minor issue, was that I sang to an instrumental as I walked down the aisle (as I had mentioned as part of the planning-kept secret from my spouse) as I reached the altar, the song was cut off only after a few verses and I wasn't able to sing not even the chorus. Cutting off the song early was fine to me after the chorus, but I feel like I should've probably given more specific instructions on how long to play the song for....I felt like I wouldn't fault the DJ for using his judgement since there were no specific instructions, BUT it did take away from my special moment and how I pictured things going.
I still rate the DJ and overall DJ Connection 10/10.
DJ connection did a wonderful job helping us coordinate and provide music on our wedding day. The meetings before the wedding were super helpful and their planning tools to help pick music and work on a timeline were great. Damien our DJ did a fantastic job keeping everything going and the party poppin! He read the room well and we had people dancing Until we had to leave the venue. Overall I highly recommend them!
At first I was worried about the DJ. Just because you do not talk to the person who will be the DJ to begin with. We didn't even meet our DJ until the day of the wedding. However, it was such a wonderful experience. We laid out our concerns and DJ Nora was very reassuring and explained everything very well. The portal where you pick out your songs was super easy to use. Our DJ that we met on the day of the wedding was absolutely the best. DJ Edward was amazing and really made sure our day was amazing. He really did such an awesome job and was super easy to work with.
We are so happy we hired DJ Connection for our wedding! Their communication was amazing and they always went above and beyond to make sure they had all of the information they needed to make our wedding go smoothly. We weren't super picky with the music for the cocktail hour/dance/reception and trusted that they would pick great songs - and they did! So many of our guests came up to us and said how much they loved the DJ!
DJ connection was my favorite vendor! The whole organization is so organized and they make the planning process super easy and stress-free. I wanted a DJ that would keep my wedding and reception moving on schedule while entertaining all of the guests at the same time. I couldn't have asked for anyone better! He we super personable and un-beat. He constantly checked with us to see if we needed anything. If I ever need a DJ again, I will go going back to DJ Connection!
Steven was so personable and did such a great job on how he played our song list that we kept getting compliments from our guests about how much they liked him. After seeing my fair share of less than par DJ's, I highly recommend DJ Connection due to the quality of their DJs.
Our DJ was great! Very professional and just what we wanted. The whole staff at DJ Connection are very talented and personable. Just what you want in a DJ. Very good prices as well!
Tandy and DJ connection was one of the best DJs I have ever seen. The service was flawless. They made appointments that were worth the time and really established trust. The music selection was great for those moments that I didn't have a preference. We had a small wedding due to COVID but the DJ had this amazing ability to get literally ever single person off their feet and dance. I have had several people come up to me as say the same thing. Our DJ made the wedding magical. Thank you so much!
Truly DJ Connection is FANTASTIC!! They did an excellent job and if you will just communicate everything will be perfect. We had Steven and he absolutely KILLED it. He was amazing and we had so many come up to us and compliment him!!! I would not have changed a thing about our dj. But in our portal I bolded. I capitalized. I made it VERY clear which songs I wanted and during my production call I made it clear yet again. And day of I made it clear by both myself and my coordinator what songs I wanted played. Communication is key and they’re amazing!!! I would redo dj connection in heartbeat especially if it were Steven!!!!
This group of people was astounding! They personalize everything to exactly what you want and need to make your ceremony and reception perfection. The DJ read the crowd very well and kept them going for hours. It was an amazing experience and I am so grateful they made our dream wedding a reality.
I can’t say enough great things about DJ Connections. They were the most special part of my wedding. The professionalism is unmatched and I promise you won’t regret that decision. The DJ worked with my pianist and collaborated well one the day of the event. If there was a hiccup I don’t know it! I felt like my DJ was a part of my family and I hope I can get him again when my daughter graduates in May! Best decision ever! Thank you so much for making my day soooo special!
Great company to work with! Very professional and customizable to fit exactly what you want for a reasonable price.
Overall, our experience with DJ Connection was very OK. We spent hours picking out songs on the portal, which is actually a very useful/convenient tool. Unfortunately the songs we chose for my bridal entrance and our walkout song were the wrong versions of the song we requested. Our walk out song was OMI- Cheerleader, and some slow acoustic version was played when we wanted the upbeat normal version of this song. Also, some other version of Crazy Love by Van Morrison was played as I walked down the aisle, maybe even by a different artist. These are things that were disappointing but not the end of the world. However, my grandmother requested a Frank Sinatra song to be played at the reception and DJ Dre would not play it. This caused an argument between one of my husband's groomsman and DJ Dre, to the point that they were yelling at each other on the dance floor. The groomsman should have let it go, but DJ Dre as a hired professional should have refrained from a verbal argument that multiple guests could hear. Overall, my guests had a good time and people were dancing, but the instances mentioned above definitely made things less than ideal.

Hi Rose. I'm very sorry to hear of this. I want to get this solved for all parties, but we do not have your phone number on file. The owner has tried to reach out to the groom several times via phone and email with no response. Please give us a...
call at (470) 582-1656 at your earliest convenience.
We put in a select few songs to base the night off and they nailed it! Our DJ felt the vibe of crew and just road the wave of excitement there was never a dead moment. Truly the best day and experience ever!
Overall DJ connection was an okay choice for our wedding day. We loved the online portal that made it easy to choose songs to play for all parts of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We did not like that we did not talk directly to the DJ before our wedding day. I think we would not have run into some issues if we did. During the ceremony the songs we requested in our portal were not played, there were no wireless mics provided ( as requested), there was no speaker placed outside for cocktail hour(as requested), and it was difficult understanding the DJ during the reception. The music played during the reception during end after dinner was great and people were on the dance floor all night. I wish DJ connection would have passed the information discussed a few days before the wedding, along to the actual DJ. I hope they can redeem themselves at my sisters wedding in Feb.

Hi Sydney! I'm very sorry to hear this. I would like to understand further what has happened, and to do so I will contact our DJ and City Manager. We will contact you via email and phone as well. Thank you for your feedback, we do appreciate it...

*Edit: Our City Manager in Houston: Donta has been trying to contact you for two weeks now and have been unsuccessful. When you have a moment, please call our office at 713-461-7309.
We could not have asked for a better DJ experience. The communication leading up to the wedding really helped to comfort us and they always made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted in our music choices. DJ Christian was amazing and I would highly recommend him and this entire company! Fairly priced for excellent service!!
DJ Connection was the PERFECT DJ for our wedding! Let’s start with the planning process. My husband and I loved how easy it was to create a timeline, request our preferred songs, and plan our entire wedding (more or less) from our phones no matter where we were. We’d be driving down the interstate, listening to music and hear a song that we loved and remember to put it on the list. Next, we loved everyone we worked with from DJ Connection. Nora was our main point of contact in the beginning and who I went to when we ultimately had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. She was so accommodating and really made us feel important. Then came the wedding day! We were lucky enough to have DJ Dre as our DJ and he was extraordinary. He never let the party die and he stayed in close communication with our coordinator to make sure everything went smooth for our big day. We could not have asked for a better DJ and my husband and I will continue to recommend them to all of our friends and family.
Our DJ, Dante, in Houston was amazing. He pumped up all of our guests. Was very thorough on what we wanted.
Jordan did a great job! Very lively!
We used DJ Connection for our wedding and we're super happy with how everything turned out! The online portal made everything easy to customize and organize for the ceremony and reception. Even when we had a couple of hiccups during the reception our dj helped figure it out so everything was stress free. I highly recommend DJ Connection for any event.
These guys were awesome! I had really high expectations for our ceremony music - this was the most important aspect for me. And the ceremony was absolutely perfect! Not only was the ceremony perfect, but they were reading the crowd and kept people up on their feet!
While the music at the wedding was enough for a good review, what really impressed me was the communication before the wedding. They contact you to help you see if they are the right fit for you and you them. Then they contact you again to go over what types of music you like and what you want playing for your wedding day - then they get down to specifics on the portal they send you where you put in specific songs etc. Then, a few days before the wedding, they call to finalize everything. Communication with these guys was top notch!
DJ Connection made the planning process very easy with the online portal. Everything went fairly as planned at our wedding and there was still some flexibility throughout the night which we appreciated. The only thing I didn't like was that we talked to someone different every time. I would've preferred to speak directly to our DJ prior to the wedding day but overall customer service was great from day one!

Hello, Eboné! We're happy that you and your guests had a great time. In the future, we'll be more diligent to simplify things so that you or any other bride do not feel frustrated before your big day. Thank you so much for your candor.
We were blown away by DJ Dree and the entire DJ Connection team. They did a great job communicating with us before and that all of the music was exactly what we wanted to keep our guests dancing and having a good time. Many of our friends asked us afterwards for more information about DJ Dree and DJ Connection and that they had never had such fun dancing at a wedding! We would definitely recommend DJ Connection and specifically DJ Dree for any event you may have!
We used DJ Connection for my daughter's recent wedding and they did a great job! Throughout the planning process - they were so easy to work with and always friendly. Dre was our DJ and he was awesome!!! Several people attending the wedding had to get his contact info because they would like him to DJ their future events. I highly recommend them!!!
Impressive service! Great price. Awesome portal to add songs to. They were able to find all the songs I requested, even though I had some pretty ambiguous anime and video game music.
DJ Connection surpassed our expectations for our wedding. Deondre was our DJ and he was amazing, he listened to every request and concern we had and was beyond helpful with keeping the flow of our wedding smooth. We are so thankful for Deondre and HIGHLY recommend him for your event.
DJ Connection's Dre served as the MC for our wedding last November and he was exceptional. From planning the music up to showtime, the process was seamlessly handled and there was never a time we couldn't get in contact with someone for questions or changes. My wife and I are extremely appreciative of DJ Dre's organization throughtout and in keeping the party rocking for us and all of our guests. We look forward to the next event we may have for DJ Connection, thanks for everything.
DJ Dre was hands down the best DJ!! He kept the crowd entertained & we loved his energy! He would throw it back old school and then kick it up with the new. We recommend him & this company to everyone.
Desmond was the DJ for our wedding back in June and I can’t say enough about him! He interacted with the crowd and even joined us in the dancing! He was wonderful and I DEFINITELY recommend DJ connection for any event!
INCREDIBLE. Book them NOW. My husband really wanted a live band, but it wasn't in the budget. But after having DJ Connection DJ our wedding, I don't think he'd want it any other way. From my first phone call inquiring about them to our big day, everyone we talked to was so kind, helpful, and fun. We had DJ Dre for our big day, and I can't imagine having anyone else. He set the tone for our whole reception! We wanted people to be on the dance floor all night, and he made sure they were. My husband and I never left the dance floor. I can't say enough good things about DJ Connection. I know you're probably overwhelmed with decisions to make and which vendors to select, but do yourself a favor and pick DJ Connection. They provide an INCREDIBLE service at such a reasonable price. You can stop looking now, and check one thing off your to do list. And I promise you, you will have no regrets! They make the planning process easy and enjoyable! If I ever need a DJ in the future, I will absolutely be calling DJ Connection.
We have used DJ Connection for the past several years for our high school Prom. While a bit pricey for the event they do an amazing job & we have had zero issues with the different DJs they have sent to us over the years. There is not another company I would use & they are driving over 2 hours to come work for us. Excellent company with awesome employees who are dedicated to making your event a success.
DJ connections was AMAZING! All of the staff prior to the event were super friendly and helpful. They have a very professional process for song selection and planning prior to the event through a web portal. The lighting at the event was awesome. Dre, our DJ, was awesome and kept all of our guests entertained and dancing. The price for their service was very competitive. I would use DJ Connection again!
My experience with DJ connection was effortless. I was able to build my playlist, timeline, etc. with ease. But more than anything, our DJ was the most memorable part. DJ Dre went above and beyond the entire night. He was constantly bringing us water bottles, asking if he can get us anything and keeping the party going. I didn’t have to worry one bit about the ceremony music or the reception. Everything ran smoothly and on schedule. The entire experience was spectacular. I would definitely recommend DJ connection! Ask for DJ Dre!!!
Dj connection was great from start to finish. They were very affordable and so helpful. We had a consultation to get to know the type of atmosphere we were looking for- they hooked us up with Dre according to what we wanted. He was the best EVER. We made our dos and don’ts list and Dre stuck to those, but was also able to go with the crowd and we partied until they closed it down. It was the greatest experience ever. Thank you Dre for your wonderful Dj skills!! We recommend you and dj connection to everyone we know planning a wedding!
They make the planning process SO easy and DJ Paul was incredible! The dance floor was full the entire night and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to keep the party going!
Very professional! Helped us both out every step of the way
I had a mixed experience speaking with DJ connection and did not end up moving forward with them in my planning process. The 2-3 people that I spoke with on the phone were clearly very passionate about their work. However, neither of those people were the person who would have been my DJ. The first person I spoke with reviewed pricing with me, since it is not listed online. When I expressed interest in the price, he said that another person, called a "coordinator," would contact me in the next couple of days to discuss the details of my day. The coordinator called me a couple days later. I spoke with this coordinator for 60 minutes, and they took a long time discussing what I wanted and had a lot of great questions that helped me think about how the day would go. I had to leave for work and ended up cutting the coordinator off before he was done with his questions. So, I gave him my fiancee's number so he could finish up with the questions. It turns out the questions that were left were related to getting our address and credit card information. DJ connection ended up wanting to get our credit card information at that moment, and we said no because we wanted to discuss it and had not seen any contract at that point.
The coordinator asked how long we needed to think it over, and ended up calling an hour later to see if we had reached a decision. We had not, as I was still working. When I finished working, I told him that we needed to see something in writing, such as a contract. They explained that they typically take deposits first, and then send contracts to couples, but that he could send me a generic contract for us to review.
It appears that this is kind of like a contracting/recruiting company who finds couples and DJs in similar areas and matches them together. If it works for you, great! It did not work for us because we wanted to connect with the person who would ACTUALLY be our DJ, and when it came to the payment and credit card info, we were not comfortable with moving forward.

Hey Kami, it sounds like you had a great experience with our planning process. Not sure why the 2 star rating though? I get that you guys decided to go with someone else which is completely fine but you did bring up in your review that talked...
with you for an hour helping you plan your wedding and then we also talked with your fiancee Mike. In our notes it says that he told us to call you guys back in an hour so that way you and Mike could talk about it. The thing that was maybe misunderstood was our DJs and how we select them. Firstly, we usually hire and train our DJs from scratch. We rarely ever hire someone who has DJ'd before due to the very bad habits that they already have. We mostly look for people with really fun, upbeat personalities then we teach them all the technical skills needed for the job. There is a lot of training, shadowing, and rehearsals before someone can even go out and DJ an easy birthday party or non profit event for us. As for the selection process, our scheduling department selects the DJ based on your answers to the questions that we ask during the planning process so that we can match you up with someone who will hit it out of the park. Overall, we wish you nothing but the best in all your wedding planning!
DJ connections was so wonderful! All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. They helped me creat a perfect timeline for the ceremony music. The actual DJ was awesome and kept all of our guests entertained and dancing.
We were a little nervous going into the wedding with DJ Connection after not going over the details with our specific DJ, as well as seeing that DJ Dre had a recent bad review. But let me tell you that after our experience with Dre, we could not have had a better DJ. He knew exactly how to keep the vibe going, checked in with us before everything (intro, bouquet toss, etc.), and was just a fun person to have around. He was nothing but professional, and we are so thankful that we chose DJ Connection for our wedding!!
Unlimited hours! Our DJ was awesome! You can go on their website to pick all of your songs. Everything was perfect and went smoothly. Thanks Dj Connection!
My husband and I booked DJ Connection for our wedding and we are so thrilled that we did. Dillon was so thoughtful and professional and checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were okay with everything. He had a way of getting everyone to join in on the dance floor and made sure that the party kept going the entire night. We also had a few last minute changes/alterations to our songs and Dillon was super flexible and took note of our changes immediately. We loved working with DJ Connection and can guarantee that they'll also do a wonderful job at anyone else's wedding!
We are the venue and we were so very happy for the responsiveness of this terrific company and their Amazing staff and DJs.
Joseph and Dre, Nora and Dave all get my stamp of appreciation for their professionalism and gladness to be doing the job they are doing. Can't wait to have them back again and again.
Find another DJ Company. Spent hours filling in their song request list prior to god wedding, just to not have any of the dance songs we had planned for guests played. Our DJ SUCKED! He did not listen to my Day of Coordinator, did not listen to me, and we had to pull out my husband’s iPhone to make him plug in to play our songs off YouTube bc although he said he had our songs, he didn’t know how to manipulate his technology. Oh and did I mention that he did not introduce us with our names? Calling us “Mr. and Mrs. Smith...” instead of “Sutton”...WTF??! He was supposed to also emcee and he barely did and when he did, there was nothing motivating about it. Let alone, we tried to play a few games, including the shoe game, and although I specifically told him to do all the questions, he stopped after only a few...anyways, typing all this is pissing me off...
On the side of customer service, I immediately filled the survey with negative reviews and soon after received a call from DJ Dray. Explained everything to him, spoke to the DJ, my wedding venue director, and they all corroborated my story. He apologized and when I asked for my money back, he said all he could refund me was the pay of the DJ...I explained that it wouldn’t satisfy and he explained that more than one person was getting paid and everyone else did their part except the DJ who didn’t deliver. He then said he would do anything to make us happy and satisfied, which clearly he didn’t. How about the full refund? Our dissatisfaction will not slow down your business, so it’s not like they will be missing out on any money, and it’s tgd least they can do since we won’t ever get that day back. We are 3 weeks past the wedding and I’m still getting feedback from guests and family about how the DJ was bad and why we didn’t do things a certain way, which is what we had planned but obviously didn’t happen that way.
Anyways, if you’re considering this company, don’t. All they want is your money and will come out with all the damn excuses if they mess up rather than satisfying their customers. I’m typically not picky when it comes to music, but considering the amount of time and effort I put in planning things, and the DJ fucked it up, I’m VERY unhappy. Sorry not sorry for the profanity. I seriously hope any of you really do your research and not hire this company.
My husband and I booked DJ Connection to DJ our wedding. They were so easy to work with and very reasonably priced! We were paired with DJ Dillon for our wedding and he did an incredible job! We would not have changed anything about the evening. DJ Dillon was very attentive the entire night towards my husband and I and our guests. The main thing we were wanting was to get our guests up and moving—nobody wants the dance floor to be empty. DJ Dillon kept the music going the entire night and the dance floor was happening the entire evening! We are so happy to have booked with DJ Connection and would 100% use them again for future events and definitely will be recommending this company to any friends or family looking for a DJ in the future! Thank you DJ Connection (especially DJ Dillon) for making our wedding more fun than we ever hoped for!
We used DJ Connection for our wedding and they were great. Our DJ, Nate, was professional and made sure that everything ran smoothly. In addition, the planning was a breeze due to our helpful DJ Connection planner. I would definitely recommend DJ Connection for your wedding/event.
If your DJ is Dre, you are better off telling him to leave and using a spotify playlist instead.
He had the audacity to place business cards on the tables before the ceremony. Tables that I had spent a year planning and a lot of money to look that way and he just went through and put his business cards on all seats. It was horrifying and so tacky.
I was also incredibly disappointed that after all of the planning sessions and song coordination I went through with DJ Connection leading up to the day of, all of it was disregarded. I was very clear on each phone call that I want family friendly songs and to stay around the 80’s pop genre. Dre played My Humps and Hot in Here. When I asked if he had the playlist I had put together, he replied “oh, do you want me to play that now?”
I know there are good reviews on here, but it’s your wedding day and you should find another DJ service.

Hi Ella! I'm so sorry about the dissatisfaction that you experienced, however I'd like you to know that the cards were placed on the seats and not the tables, and only after your venue coordinator who said he was close with groom said was ok, D...
re didn't do that on his own accord. Also "Hot in here" was not played and you stated multiple times that Top 40 music was ok and the only music you didn't want played was "baby making R&B". You asked Dre to play your dinner playlist before dinner had started which is why he asked you that. We understand that you could be frustrated being that the power at your venue went out three hours early, we're glad you were able to express your concerns to Jason.
Our DJ was so much fun! We had so much fun!
They make sure to get every detail of your wedding and make sure you are happy!
I was SO impressed with everything this company provided. They were always super nice on the phone when you called to have questions. You are able to sign into your own portal to pick all of your songs. They are calling you to catch up with you and to see if you have any questions for them. They will get ahold of you the week of to make sure that you have EVERY song that you can on the list. The DJ was a blast at the wedding and keep you on schedule as well.
