DJ Indiana was very accommodating and easy to work with! Their communication was consistent and helpful. DJ Charvis was excellent! Not only did he exceed all of our expectations, but he was extremely kind and worked with us on the fly very well. I mistakenly left out a few details, but he accommodated all of our special requests very smoothly. All of our songs were perfectly timed. Thank you, DJ Charvis!

DJ Devon was a perfect addition to our wedding day. From taking the time prior to the wedding to establish the mood of the wedding and the do’s and dont's to checking in periodically throughout the reception, we highly recommend DJ Devon for your special day. Having him assist at our wedding was wonderful and we had multiple people tell us after the wedding that the music and DJ were great. We can’t recommend him enough!

We used DJ Indiana for our September 14 wedding and can not express how amazing they were. We loved the online wedding planner that allowed you to pick your songs for specific moments, what kind of ceremony/reception you wanted, and a timeline section. DJ Brad was our specific DJ and he was the best! Brad was extremely communicative during the planning process and was able to offer suggestions we really appreciated. On the actual day, he was a major help in keeping our timeline on track. Brad was very friendly, talked with everyone, and made us feel very comfortable. He kept the dance floor filled and we got a ton of remarks that they really enjoyed him. We cannot recommend DJ Indiana enough!

DJ Indiana exceeded our expectations and we had been assigned DJ Khris for our wedding event! DJ Khris is by far THE best DJ in Central Indiana! We had him for our wedding ceremony and reception and he was amazing to say the least! He is kind, understanding, professional, and very outgoing!! He is definitely one you want at any event! He gets the party started and keeps it going! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do this! DJ indiana was also very reasonably priced and offered photo booth options! 1000% recommend DJ Indiana!

Brian did a phenomenal job at our wedding! I could not have picked a better DJ! He was easy to communicate with and listened to all of our requests. He was very helpful with our timeline for the wedding and the website he provided was easy to navigate. I want to note that we had almost everyone on the dance floor for the WHOLE entire time that the fun music started. I have never been to a wedding that has had that many people dancing on the dance floor and for the length of time that they did. It was so much fun!!! We have DJ Brian to thank for that! Do not look any further and book DJ Brian, you will not regret it and it will only make your wedding day that much more fun!

You will NOT find a better DJ for an event that Brian at DJ Indiana, particularly for weddings! DJ Indiana has a very user-friendly UI for the customer and you can be as involved or uninvolved in the song selecting for your event as you want. Have a spotify playlist you want to listen to? Well, their UI will allow you to easily share a playlist for your selected songs. It could not have been easier, and Brian really cares about what you want for your day and avoids the usual rogue DJ that wants to play songs they want to listen to. During a final sit down meeting the week before your wedding, he will comb through any and all details with you so he can completely understand the vibes and desires and perfectly compliment them as needed.
In all, we could not recommend DJ Indiana enough for your events as he has a complete system, not only in the physical setup, but also with the pre-service system. Brian is the man!

My husband and I used DJ Indiana, specifically DJ Brian, for our October wedding. We had an EXCELLENT experience from start to finish. Extremely affordable relative to other options, which is what first caught our eye, without compromising quality. Brian was extremely helpful and communicative during the planning process. We were able to use his online portal to create custom playlists for every part of the day and also for guest requests, which I loved. He created a detailed itinerary that reflected all of our plans and requests. Overall, his attention to detail gave me so much peace, as an anxious bride. Then, on our wedding day, he did an awesome job coordinating the ceremony and reception music and getting people on the dance floor. My biggest complaint was my grandma requesting too much music from the 60s (lol), but as soon as my husband mentioned it to Brian, we were back to the kind of music we preferred. I would absolutely recommend DJ Indiana. Thank you Brian!!!

Brian was an amazing DJ for us! He was so patient with us and had everything set up and knew how to keep the crowd going! Brian knew exactly what to play when to play it. My advice is select the main songs you want, then let him do his thing! He will not disappoint. He was also very communicative with us during the entire process so that made us worry even less!

So fun to work with! Khris greeted my husband and I with a huge hug when we first met. He is was so professional and was able to work through some kinks we met during the night (none of which were his fault). He kept the party going and so happy we went with his suggestions when it came to adding some lighting and bigger speakers. Would definitely recommend to anyone getting married or having a huge party!

Thanks Jake and Jordan. I'm so glad everyone had a great time. I certainly enjoyed it to...
o. Your place looked awesome with all those candles. I was a bit worried that someone would insist that a row of ceiling lights would have to stay on due to someone saying it was too dark, but that's the only way my dance lighting and uplighting will its best when there isn't any facility lighting washing it out. Have a great marriage!

We had a very last minute booking with a tight timeframe. Both the owner and DJ Brad were so understanding and calm throughout the entire process. DJ Brad did a wonderful job catering the music to the Bride & Groom's needs! Their website is user-friendly and made the planning incredibly easy. DJ Brad arrived early on the Day-Of to ensure he was ready on time. Brad was so professional and fun to work with. I definitely recommend hiring DJ Indiana!

We got married a few weeks ago and we had DJ Brad working our wedding. He did a great job!! We were able to meet with Brad beforehand, since we lived close, and I think that really helped with this process. He played the songs we requested but we also gave him the liberty to play what he felt would get people dancing, which was nice and I would definitely recommend to everyone. He also did a great job with making announcements and moving the events of the night along. He was very personable and fun and the guests really enjoyed having him (and some were even interested in using him for some of their events lol)
I will also add that it was nice working with this company because they were very pretty quick to respond throughout the process, both Brain and Brad. I can’t tell you how many vendors I’ve reached out to during the course of planning our wedding that I just never heard back from…or would just take ages to communicate back and forth with. It takes a lot of stress off knowing that you are able to contact your vendor and you’ll get a response within a day or two.
I would definitely recommend using DJ Indiana services as well as DJ Brad !!

Brian DJ’ed for our wedding recently, and I have to say, he was absolutely phenomenal! He always made sure that my fiancé and I were in the loop and kept us constantly informed on everything that was going on. My fiancé and I threw some strange, not usually played at weddings song requests at him, and he absolutely ran with them and made the night incredible while mixing our music tastes with our guests. We also opted to add on the dance floor uplights and they truly added to the overall experience and really kept the party going! If I were to replan my entire wedding from start to finish, I would choose DJ Indiana every single time.

ng at 3 PM, I wasn't sure if we would have anyone that would want to continue to party up for over 7 hours, but we did. It was refreshing for me to not have to stick to a long drawn out list of pre-requested songs as I often will get. I'm glad you had the faith in me to get out some songs that everyone would enjoy. Nice meeting you and your family members.

We reached out to DJ Indiana about doing our wedding ceremony and reception. He was very responsive and set us up with DJ Devon because DJ Brian was already engaged in another event on our date.
We met with DJ Brian to give him the deposit and go over the website for organizing the music. There are a lot of pre made slots for songs which helps you to think about what you need.
DJ Devon was great, he met with us a few weeks before the event. We ended up picking our music only a week or so before the meeting because there was so much else going on 🤪 but that didn't cause any issues. We ended up connecting it to spotify to get most of our songs added (although we found out later that our DJ couldn't get a link to the spotify song through the system). Despite this, we had no issues with any of the songs. We did have one or two unique songs we wanted which we gave the youtube links for. Devon found all the right songs and everything went off without a hitch.
We ended up switching from outdoor to indoor a few days before the event (sad weather 🙃) and he adjusted quickly. We had the package that had extra speakers, which he used to great effect on the day of. He was great with announcements, checking in with us a few times and liasoning with our day of coordinator and Photographer to make sure the timing worked out.
After that, he was very good at keeping the dancing going. He ended up pulling out a line dance (we didn't rule out but didn't request) and people loved it, so kudos on reading the room well.
All this to say, we would definitely recommend DJ Devon for your event!!

DJ Devon through DJ Indiana was amazing. He arranged a video chat about 1 week before the wedding to go over the online questionnaire I filled out which detailed the wedding timeline. Devon suggested some changes in his profession opinion and they helped my wedding go smoother. Devon was punctual and energetic. He knew how to get the crowd excited and was very good at staying on time for the timeline of events. Devon would check in with me during the wedding to make sure we were on track and if I needed anything from him. He was a sweetheart! DJ Indiana offers a great service that is easy to obtain and affordable. You definitely get the best bang for your buck. If I ever need a DJ again, I will definitely be using DJ Indiana!

DJ Brad from DJ Indiana handled all of our dj services for our reception at Grindstone Public House this past Saturday 4-29-23 and he was fantastic! From start to finish the process of booking through DJ Indiana was smooth and easy. They provide a portal login that allowed us to set our special songs and make special requests as well as pick individual songs or requests certain genre for certain times of the night. The process was easy and I highly recommend them. We also got the mirror photobooth which was a huge hit with everyone at our reception. DJ Brad handled all the fine details and played a killer playlist of mixed songs and really mixed songs together so well. 10/10 recommend.

My church had an annual event, Fall Festival--a family/community event, and we always had the same DJ. But this year, our regular DJ was not available. So, I called DJ Indiana, Brian Kearnaghan--contacted him through the website.
I got a response within 24 hours--which was needed; we were getting close to event time. Brian himself was our DJ. He was great--an outdoor event and not great weather but we had a garage and Brian made it work--and work
well. All the volunteers thought that Brian did a great job and he even took requests. I would recommend DJ Indiana for your events.

Music can make or break your party. My daughter’s wedding was a success thanks to the service of DJIndiana. First of all the owner, Brian was very professional. He answered all my questions and was the only DJ I called that was able to tell me how to handle the Noblesville 10:00 pm noise ordinance. His fee was very competitive and very transparent. I told him I wanted to know more about the DJ he was going to assign to my event and within minutes he connected us to our DJ Devon. From the first contact, we had a good feeling about Devon and we were not disappointed.
DJIndiana has a wonderful website where you can select all your songs if you want to. The bride and groom wanted to play a particular CD during the cocktail hour and Devon was not able to find it the right way online so he met me to get the CD. We made some selections in the tool but we told Devon to read the room and make sections to keep everybody dancing. We had a mixed audience since the bride’s family is from Puerto Rico and the groom’s family is from Indiana. Devon selected the perfect mix of music. By the end of the night, he had the Indiana Hoosiers dancing Bad Bunny music and the Puerto Ricans slow dancing to Journey.
Devon was not only a great DJ but also an outstanding MC. We gave him our timeline from the cocktail hour to the last dance and he kept us on time the whole night.
If you want the people at your party to enjoy dancing all night long hire DJ Indiana.

All I can say is wow! Brian was extremely professional, punctual, and helped keep us on track even after we had several mishaps before the ceremony and threw everything way off schedule! He kept our guests excited and dancing, and we've gotten several compliments from people saying our reception was the most fun one they've ever been to! Brian placed the uplighting perfectly, and even put some behind our ceremony arch on the stage next to the dance floor, which looked incredible. He made our playlist flow perfectly and kept the pace of the night going flawlessly. Can't recommend DJ Indiana enough!

I was very happy with the services from DJ Indiana and our DJ, DJ Kris. DJ Indiana helped me through the booking, answering questions, and providing a website to upload music preferences and timelines for the day. DJ Kris was perfect for our day. Guests were coming up to me saying "he literally has played all of my favorite songs." He stuck with our tastes but also threw in some favorites or guests requests. It was very obvious that he prepares for your ceremony and reception so that things run smoothly. It was exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be more pleased with their services.

DJ Indiana did a wonderful job from beginning to end! I had several questions at the beginning of our discussions and they were all answered timely. Our DJ, Matt B, was wonderful with all communications from meeting and planning the music before the wedding day and texting and letting us know he arrived to the venue on the wedding day. The communication helped ease our minds that things were being taken care of. Matt kept things moving along perfectly and he knew exactly what needed to be done during the wedding. It helped relieve the stress of keeping things on track. He was very professional and kept the party going throughout the night. Our guests had a wonderful time! Thank you DJ Indiana and Matt B for helping make the wedding go so smoothly!

I was looking for a good DJ for our prom. I know very little about music and how to get kids on the dance floor. I needed a professional who knows music and teens. I found just the right match with DJ Indiana. First, they were very responsive to all my questions. They arrived on time. They were very professional and delivered just what we asked for and more. Because the weather was so warm and we had outdoor space, at the last minute they were able to accommodate extra speakers so the kids could dance on the deck. Brian and DJ Jimmy were awesome. I would and will hire them again!

We used DJ Brian. He was easy to work with, my wedding was supposed to be in 2020 but got postponed to a few weeks ago and he was understanding about us changing the date. He was great at communicating during the planning process, we liked his online set up for picking songs and planning the event. He was great at picking the right songs to keep the party going and stuck to our do not play list which was nice that he did that. We ended up extending his time since he was doing such a great job!

My wife and I worked with DJ Brian for our wedding. DJ Indiana has an awesome website to upload song requests, particularly different playlists for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. It was a great tool - easy to navigate and use and very user friendly. There is a section which includes a schedule with the entire wedding timeline which you can use to plan your whole wedding. Brian was fantastic to work with, he offered to meet us in person or call to go over all the details. He played all of the music that we requested. The lighting package included looked cool and was synced with the music. He suggested the upgrade for the uplighting and we are so glad that we did. He provided a great service and kept us on time - even ahead of schedule. For an expert and professional DJ, this was very affordable pricing. For the size of our venue, the music seemed a little too loud at times according to a couple guests, but overall we very happy with the services provided by DJ Indiana. We would recommend them for any wedding reception!

We recently got married and had Brian Kearnaghan as our wedding DJ.
Towards the beginning of our phone conversations, he was reassuring and confident about his abilities to provide what we needed.
As the wedding day moved closer, we gave him the information that he requested and even gave him detailed timelines to ensure correct song placements.
When the wedding day arrived, he was running late and was confused as to the order of the wedding day and the start time of the ceremony, along with when he needed to start playing music.
All of this information had already been discussed in detail before the wedding.
We had a very special song that we wanted to be played during the bridal processional. We made sure that the song title and artist name were clear beforehand and specified when it needed to be played.
When the time came for the bridal processional song to be played it was the wrong song.
At the reception, there were moments when the DJ was unsure of the order of events and what needed to happen next.
He was willing to be relatively flexible at times, which we appreciated, and he also brought the equipment necessary.

This customer is absolutely correct. Things did not go right and I am ultimately responsib...
le. The miscues I made were totally unintentional and I tried my best.
After this couple's wedding, I emailed them twice and left a voicemail offering to make a mutually agreeable partial refund. But, they have not returned my call or replied back.
So with that said (if you would like to read on), I will explain what happened from my perpective.
There was a misunderstanding as to the song I needed to play for the bridal entrance. The song title was entered as "Ar Éirinn nà Neosfainn Cé HÃ". I didn't do a search on that because it had a "%" (percentage sign) in the title. I thought it was a display glitch after they copied it into my planning form. During the planning call, the groom referred this song as Maria McCool's Ireland or Irish song. Based on that information, I searched Youtube on that and found lots of songs by that artist called "A Song for Ireland". At the time, I was totally convinced that I had the right song and the right version because all versions sounded exactly the same.
My protocol for when I am not totally sure about a specifically requested special song is to send my customers a Youtube URL to make sure it's right. In this case, that is what I should have done. To be fair to them, they did email me a direct link to the song the day before the wedding. Somehow, I missed that email due to spam and out-of-state travel the day before the wedding.
With regards to the delay, I errored in the amount of time that it would take to track two officiants, a wedding singer, a guitar player, and a keyboard player for two different locations (to hookup to my equipment). Most weddings we do will not need all this done and therefore, less likely to be a problem. I feel it is very important to make sure that each and every microphone and each musical instrument is tested and volume adjusted in advance prior to guest seating. Even if I would have arrived much earlier to begin setup, any DJ would have been faced with the same challenges due to to the distance between the ceremony area and he reception area at this particular venue.
As far as everyting else is concerned the sound quality for the musical insturments and microphones worked perfectly (and something that many underexperienced DJs often have problems with). The reception music requests were played as directed, and I made the adjustments to the bridal party introduction order as they asked.
As with any wedding, things can unintentially be overlooked or initially written up incorrectly by either the client or the DJ. To remedy that problem, I will now ask my future customers to officially confirm (by email) that everything listed on a finalized DJ Announcement and Special Songs document (something that many DJs do not even do) and I will always include the Youtube Url on this document for all special songs or special versions that are obscure and not generally recognized by others.

DJ Brad did our wedding and he was amazing!! DJ Indiana has a web portal that prompts you for each song you might want to add, like a groom mother dance. I would have never thought of that but the web portal helped me cover those bases so I was able to account for every dance we wanted. It was so nice!! A few weeks before the wedding DJ Brad called to clarify some spots I had missed (a few were on accident too so I was able to add those in). He was so kind and thoughtful. My husband listens to punk rock which isn't main stream. DJ Brad took the time to research the station my husband listens to and made sure to add in some songs he'd like! I was so impressed! When our ceremony was off to a late start DJ Brad asked if we'd like an announcement made to the guests so they could take a restroom break, etc and not miss the ceremony. During the reception he played every song we'd requested. He picked up on the vibes and kept it going! He was so amazing! I have never danced that long in my life and I'm not a 20 year old kid, lol. I am so happy we went with DJ Indiana! I would highly recommend them! Plus the price was a fantastic value compared to other DJ services!!

DJ Eddy was personable and knew exactly what to do to keep our wedding reception upbeat! Our dance floor was packed all night because of his amazing music selections, from dinner to our last song, I was beyond happy with his music choices! After our last song played, the people on the dance floor chanted “One More Song! One More Song!” And DJ Eddy delivered! What a fantastic experience!!!

Brian was a pleasure to work with from the early planning stages through the end of the wedding night. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and eye for detail made the party run smoothly and I particularly appreciated him asking about things I had missed to complete my planning. The website is also quite user friendly and helps you think through the steps of the day. Definitely pick Brian as your DJ!

DJ Brian did a great job! We had a live Jazz band during the cocktail hour/dinner, during which time he EmCeed and made sure everything was running smoothly. After dinner, he kicked the party into high gear and kept everyone on the dance floor. We loved that he worked with us and our many requests!! Our night was truly magical. Highly recommend!

DJ Jimmy did an excellent job. We told him we what music we were wanting to hear and he did just that and kept the crowd dancing all night. The announcements were energetic and got the crowds attention. I would highly recommend using DJ Indiana

Brian at DJ Indiana was a great addition to our wedding day! The music was great and Brian was wonderful to work with. We had a micro-wedding (28) people, so I was nervous about the vibe, but we danced all night long. The lighting package that we added on was such a fun decor aspect. I would recommend DJ Indiana for any event!

DJ Indiana is great! I recommend them for three reasons:
1. They are so easy to work with, i.e. They have an awesome website which clients could use to add their wedding timelines and musics they prefer (I am a Chinese, so you could add foreign language musics as long as you find them on Youtube :) )It's really a plus if you like to make your wedding personalized and different.
2. Brian is a total professional, he is the first to reply to my email requests and he makes our planning so smoothly. A lot of good ideas and any couple who feel stressful easily about the weddings could consider hiring them so you could relax more and trust them with the advice.
3. The equipment. We added colorful lighting for our wedding, the lights were beautiful and made our reception location so pretty and unique. We had a glass door greenhouse. Our guests requested songs and went crazy on the dance floor. I remember Brian kept announcing "this is the second song of the last songs".. so many last songs cause our guests weren't ready to leave the dance floor!!

Thanks Chuyue (aka Cloris). It was a pleasure serving you and Evan. I wish you could hav...
e more of your family from overseas attend, but I know that these travel restrictions prevented that from happening. But, you did have a good group of people that liked to dance and party despite the room being so hot. I always like to end the receptions with a lot of people dancing and I got it done.

Matt and Brian were fantastic from the start of the process to the wedding itself. They were very accommodating, professional, kind, and detail-oriented. Their online services are impressive and give you as much or as little customization as you want. We received many compliments about Matt throughout the evening and anytime we came up to him with a small change or request he adapted seamlessly. Highly recommend DJ Indiana, thank you!!

We were satisfied far beyond our expectations with Brian and our DJ, Brad, from DJ Indiana! Brian was super helpful during the initial planning process, and helping us find solutions to our challenging situation. I especially loved the wedding planning tool, for adding requests and timeline generation. And Brad was great as well. We had a unique ceremony space and reception and Brad rose to and above the challenge helping to make our special day a fantastic one. Brad made our unique location seem like a breeze to set up. The uplighting was perfect, music and sound was great) didn't even hear the ultra quiet generator at our ceremony that took place in the middle of the woods! Brad kept the guests entertained and happy and on the dance floor, played all our special songs with perfect timing, taking advantage of the moments we were on the floor. Everyone was relaxed and having fun, letting lose and being themselves. So many compliments of how natural and content everyone seemed to be and Brad's skill had something to do with that. As the bride and groom we were so busy at the reception making rounds and getting pictures, finding little time to get on the dance floor ourselves. But when we did, DJ was prepared to sneak in some of our special songs too, so we could have a great time! And everyone at the reception had a blast. DJ was organized, professional, flexible and on point with all our special requests and unique set-up. Plus when the schedule had to be adjusted because of one reason or another, Brad didn't miss a beat! I can't say enough, I highly recommend Brad, Brian, and DJ Indiana!

We can't stress enough how helpful DJ Devon from DJ Indiana was on our wedding day. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and that we didn't have to worry about any audio logistics. If you're reading this, you know how stressful wedding planning can be. They have a great website they use to keep track of all your songs, cues, speeches and timelines. This made planning so much easier on us. We highly recommend DJ Indiana and specifically DJ Devon.

I was worried that a lot of the people who attended my wedding would not dance. DJ Eddy was incredible and made sure that everyone had such a great time. I looked over and everyone was dancing. We also rented a photo booth from DJ Indiana and everyone LOVED it. I highly recommend using them for your DJ needs.

If you are looking for a DJ who provides the best service combined with reasonable pricing, look no further! DJ Brian was the DJ at our wedding during the heart of the pandemic on 11/13/2020 and he was phenomenal. He communicated well, was very patient, and went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was perfect. From playing the music during our ceremony to the dance music at the reception, DJ Brian did not let us down. His website is incredibly detailed, and we had a phone call with him before the wedding to iron out all of the details. He even did great with the announcements and pronouncing everybody's name correctly. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a DJ for their wedding or event!

Brian did an amazing job. He is great at what he does. I definitely recommend hiring him for future events. We were so unorganized and just a mess and he worked with my wife and I to make sure the night was perfect. Thank you so much Brian!!! I think any other dj would have been upset and probably would have just left us. But you kept everyone on the dance floor and you played all the right songs.
