DJ Joel was absolutely INCREDIBLE! He did a fantastic job with MCing both in English & Spanish and ensured that both sides of our family had the best time possible! He played great music and had us dancing all night long! His communication prior to the event and on the day of the wedding were on point and we are so grateful! Highly recommend him for your next event! He’s funny, will join you on the dance floor, and knows how to bring the PARTY!

Hello! Nayely here on Josh’s Account! --
Having Joel as our DJ/MC for our wedding day was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our special day. If you are looking for som...
eone who is responsive, communicative, and able to blend the Latin culture to other cultures, this is your guy. He was so nice to everyone and able to keep the party vibe going. I also have to praise his bilingual skills. They were seamless and all of our guests felt included. Additionally, put together a surprise wedding video for us and sent it to us the very next day which we were over the moon about! It was such a kind gesture and we loved our wedding day so much that now we will always have a hype video about it! If you are looking for someone who will care about your large meaningful life events with multiple moving parts, Joel is a professional who can take it on.
Thank you for everything Joel!~

h-energy and entertained. He reads the crowd to keep the party going - and it kept us all dancing until the very end. The photo booth he provided was a massive hit that our guests loved. He even sent a link so we could see all of the guests photos at the every end. He also put together a social media video for us which was so fun to see the next day! Jo-El is professional, talented, and amazing to work with, and you can tell he really cares about what he does. He made our wedding a party that guests still haven't stopped talking about. Highly recommend DJ Jo-El to anyone who is looking for a DJ who can deliver on both heart and party!

DJ Jo-el was fantastic! He traveled to Reno for my wedding for a very reasonable fee. His price was one of the best I found, but for the quality of his work you wouldn’t be able to...
tell. He was professional and responsive before my event, understanding our wants.
He kept the crowd excited and knew just what to play. The dance floor was crowded most of the night thanks to him. The Photo Booth was a fun addition as well and his wife was super helpful with that. If I could go back and do my wedding again I would still choose DJ Jo-el. Book him!!!

Dj Jo-El did our wedding at Granite Bay Golf Club in October of 2023. He did an amazing job! My husband's and I's wedding was very culturally diverse. A large portion of the weddin...
g guests were spanish speaking only. DJ Jo-el did a great job at incorporating the two cultures and translating for both sides of the family. He is very friendly, lively, upbeat and always has a smile on his face. He always manages to crack a joke and make you laugh. He kept the party going all night long and played some bangers! He was very thorough in asking what we wanted and how we wanted things done. He went over the itinerary a couple days before the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. He was on time, and if there were any microphone issues he was on top of it and getting it fixed promptly. I would definitely recommend DJ Jo-El for any wedding if you want the party going all night long!

We hired DJ Jo-El for our wedding on Sept. 2nd for DJ and photo booth services and we couldn't have been happier with how great it went. Our wedding party, walking order and speech...
schedule had multiple lineup changes between the rehearsal and even day of, and Jo-El rolled with the changes without a complaint. He moved the schedule of his day job to ensure he would be available for our rehearsal last-minute and showed up early on the wedding day to set up and go over the schedule of events again. He communicated seamlessly with our event coordinator (who already had good things to say about him from previous events at the venue) and checked in with us to make sure we were satisfied with how he was doing throughout the reception. The photo booth, which was run by his wife during the event, was a huge hit. The wedding games went flawlessly and the music was bumpin. Several of our guests told us how much they loved his banter with the wedding party as well. Can't recommend DJ Jo-El's services enough!
