our first kiss perfectly.
Every announcement and speech was timed well, and he brought extra microphones for our friend to sing for our first dance.
He played our favorite songs, and put together an awesome playlist for dancing into the night.
Thank you!

Spencer did an absolutely amazing job DJing our wedding. We gave him a list of wedding songs with lots of requests including starting and stopping at certain points, cutting out a ...
specific section of a song, and adding a link to a song on YouTube that’s not on Spotify. He nailed EVERY single request and was extremely easy to work with. The dance floor was popping all night and guests loved the music! Also, Spencer’s prices are very reasonable for the awesome work he does. I highly recommend hiring Spencer as a wedding DJ!

I recently had the pleasure of having DJ Crum as the DJ for my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with his performance. From start to finish, he was the epitome of professionalism,...
ensuring that the entire evening flowed seamlessly.
DJ Crum truly understood my vision for the night. He transitioned from classic wedding jams early in the evening to an energetic EDM dance party later on. His ability to read the crowd and keep the dance floor packed for nearly five hours was impressive. Even as the night was winding down, we still had 30 enthusiastic guests dancing away, testament to his skill in creating a vibrant atmosphere.
One of the things I appreciated most about DJ Crum was his approach to engaging the crowd. Unlike some DJs who feel the need to speak into the mic and hype up the crowd, DJ Crum let his music do the talking. His selection of song choices brought people to the dance floor naturally, without any unnecessary interruptions.
I received numerous compliments from my guests not only about his music but many saying "the DJ is hot!" LOL :) DJ Crum's presence added a special touch to our wedding, making it an unforgettable night for everyone.
If you're looking for a DJ who will keep your party going, understand your musical vision, and handle everything with the utmost professionalism, I highly recommend DJ Crum. He exceeded all our expectations and helped make our wedding night truly magical.

He made a beautiful mashup of two songs for my daddy/daughter dance that brought my dad to tears, and fulfilled all my weirdest requests for our ceremony and reception. He makes the process so easy with music worksheets and he responds quickly. DJ Crum is also very affordable (and worth every single penny)! Stop looking, just hire him!

Spencer took initiative and got my bouquet from the bridal suite for me, he then handed it off to my bridesmaids who passed it down to me.. I'm so thankful that he did this because I was so sad that I had forgotten it! Spencer was so easy to work with and he really made the night amazing! We highly recommend him!
