D.J. Johnny Stuart

Johnny is a great DJ!

Here it is 4+ years since my weding and I am writing a review...why? Well, I recommended Johnny to a friend for her recent wedding in November and after seeing Johnny again I was brought back to my own experience. The most important thing to my husband and I for our wedding day... Read More was music. We wanted everyone to dance and have a great time, we wanted a true party. Since we made that a priorty that put a great deal of pressure on finding the right person. Johnny came highly recommnded by a friend, so we did some research, took the friends advice, and hired Johnny. That was by far the easiest and best decision made during the wedding planning process. He was always professional and easy going. There was never any angst on the lead up to wedding day. He returned every phone call in a timely manner and was helpful and easy going with the music planning process. He arrived on time and proceeded without incident. Johnny helped the night flow smoothly. The wedding guests danced the entire night. The dance floor was never empty!!! He helped make our wedding very special! I would absolutely recommended him to anyone no matter the event.

I HEART DJ JOHNNY

When my sister married, she hired an amazing band that I thought I'd hire for mine--- until I called for a quote. YIKES! HOW MUCH?! I started looking into DJs but did not want that stereotypical Long Island 'yo yo yo' MCing. Enter DJ Johnny. From the first time we met him,... Read More we knew he was the one. He just got us right off the bat and was one of my favorite vendors to work with. His communication, passion, and enthusiam is ++++++++. The day of the wedding he arrived early to set up and sound check and, unbeknownst to us, even helped one of our other vendors with an equipment malfunction. He played everything we wanted to hear- including a killer traditional Polish gypsy set, an 80s/early90s hiphop set that made one of my guests feel like he was back in high school, and a special request for my 3 year old nephew who STILL talks about it! Whatever you want, DJ Johnny will bring it!

Love Johnny!

Johnny did an awesome job at our wedding in September in Montauk!! First, during our preparation period, Johnny checked in with us regularly to discuss the day and agenda. Because we had so much stuff going on, we were staying behind big time!! Thanks to Johnny for staying... Read More on top of it. We are supper appreciative! In addition, he was able to grasp exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a chill and not too traditional flow of the enter wedding. He gave us lots of awesome suggestions! On the day, he was super on time. Played exactly what we were looking for. Our guests especially loved his deep voice :) We had an awesome day Johnny thanks so much!!

Johnny DJed my September 30th 2017 wedding . He played everything we wanted and more! I have no complaints. My whole dance floor was going crazy into the night. People keep saying how good he was and my friend wants to use him for her wedding now too. I would definitely... Read More recommend him!

Johnny is AMAZING! Best DJ ever. He DJ'ed both mine and my sisters wedding in New York City and both were incredible. I would recommend him to anyone! Everything went off without a hitch. He's super great at communicating, helping with music suggestions of you need them, and... Read More making a party come alive. He had everyone on the dance floor as soon as he started! Absolutely the best

We were very pleased with D.J. Johnny Stuart. He's a very nice guy, easy to communicate with, and organized (he and the marrying couple outlined a detailed schedule for the evening). I, (MOB), called him a couple of weeks before the wedding and was very clear about our not... Read More wanting the music to be so loud that our guests would suffer hearing loss by the end of the evening (which is too often the case). He understood exactly what I was saying and assured me he would not blast the music. He didn't. The adults were happy; the younger people were happy. It all worked out very well. He coordinated with an Armenian band that was playing that evening as well and they alternated seamlessly. A couple of days after the wedding, he let us know that we had overpaid him and he was quick to return the money. I recommend D.J. Johnny Stuart without hesitation. You will not be disappointed!

We had a great experience working with Johnny! My husband is a musician and had a lot of opinions on our music - he gave Johnny a list of probably 50 songs he wanted worked into the night, and Johnny was able to play almost all of them and mixed them in a super fun way that kept... Read More the party going. Johnny also gave us a lot of ideas about what might work for the music, and helped us think through the flow of the night. Night of, he also went above and beyond, last minute finding a super-long cable to help my sister in law with her toast - she wanted to play songs off her phone, which we didn't know in advance, and Johnny came through to make it happen. Highly recommend!

Great DJ full of energy and professionalism. Thank you for making my night special!

Unbelievable! The energy at our wedding was amazing- Johnny kept the dance floor packed all night. He also did a wonder job of mixing music from our two cultures (Portuguese and Indian) creating a high-energy fusion dance party. I would highly highly recommend him for your... Read More event. We could not have been more happy.

Awesome!!! It was a great experience from the time we met Johnny several months before the wedding all the until our wedding night! He absolutely nailed the entire thing! He kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night and NO ONE wanted to leave! We wish we could have... Read More extended our wedding a few more hours!! Do yourselves a favor and book his A.S.A.P.! Thanks Johnny for making our night amazing!

We worked with Johnny for our wedding in November 2015. From start to finish, he was an absolute pleasure to work with! He made himself available whenever we wanted to talk, and always responded quickly to emails. More importantly, he listed to us! He sat down to understand... Read More what sort of music we wanted, we gave him a list of (1) songs we love and (2) songs we DEFINITELY didn't want played. Additionally, he asked us for a detailed timeline of the night, so he knew when to make announcements, when to keep the party relaxed, and when to blow the roof off the place. From start to finish, he kept us dancing all night and I would absolutely recommend him to any friend!

DJ Johnny is the ultimate professional - he has years of experience and clearly loves being a DJ. This really makes all of the difference at an event as important as your wedding. For my husband and I - music was very important to our wedding. We wanted to have a fun party... Read More and knew music would either help make that happen or ruin it. From the first time I talked to Johnny on the phone to our in person meeting, Johnny was clearly interested in understanding "our vision" for our wedding vs. just having one style that he pushes on everyone. I was confident he genuinely wanted to create the perfect night for us and listened to what that meant for us. We had some concerns as our guests were coming from a wide variety of places and had a wide variety of musical tastes, but we felt that DJ Johnny would be up to the task. Leading up to the even Johnny was available to chat whenever we needed to chat and helped us get organized with our "must plays" and "never play" songs. We certainly had a lot of input in our music, but when we were stuck, like on our ceremony music, Johnny was there with the perfect suggestions. By my wedding day, music was one thing I just wasn't worried about. Our actual wedding day went even better than I could have imagined. Ceremony music was flawless and even our cocktail hour music, which can be forgettable at many weddings, was great. But the reception was where Johnny really shined. Sure, we'd gone over a bunch of songs we thought would work, but Johnny really read the crowd and adapted to maximize the fun and keep the most people on the dance floor for the longest amount of time (which was our priority). This was not an easy task, as we had a wide variety of guests. Not to mention, the entire evening Johnny looked like he was having as much fun as our guests! I think this is really what makes him a great DJ - he really wants your wedding to be everything you ever dreamed of and genuinely works his hardest to make that happen for you. So whether you want a "bring down the house" dance party or a more refined event, Johnny will work to make that happen; I really feel like you cannot go wrong with DJ Johnny Stuart for your wedding.

Johnny made our wedding so special. We are a 'second time around' couple and had guests from the US and from England. The age ranges were from 20 to 80 and I have to say, EVERYONE had a blast. This was such a great celebration and it was due to the prep and expertise that... Read More Johnny had in selecting the right music and adding his touch of class to how he was the master of ceremony. He worked with us so that our event had the right timing and accompanying music to make it a total classy event. And, for this eclectic crowd, everyone danced. It was THE best wedding I have every been to and I was lucky enough to be the one hosting. Thank you Johnny for making our night magical.

Amazing Energy and Work Ethic!

It was a true pleasure working with Johnny for our special day. From the moment we first met with him to our big day, he was super attentive and ensured we felt at ease. A week before our wedding I decided to surprise my husband-to-be with a band performance and when I informed... Read More Johnny of the change of plans he was extremely supportive and even volunteered to reach out to the band leader to ensure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. On our big day the band was caught in traffic for over an hour and Johnny was able to filled in with an early dance set playing their style of music where they were supposed to play a set without skipping a beat. We rescheduled the whole evening like nothing ever even happened and it was even more amazing!! I would highly recommend him and can't wait to throw another party so we can work together again!

Flawless Execution by a True Professional

Pre-hiring: met with us in person to discuss the process in detail (able to a accomodate my husband and my schedules), had us describe what we wanted and how he could help us achieve our objective Post-hiring: remained accessible 24/7 always got back to us within the hour... Read More (even when he was traveling); had multiple conversations to discuss and create a detailed itenerary for the night, the music selection (song-by-song), name pronunciation, Zafa (Arabic wedding march) set-up, after party transition, no-play list, etc. Day of: The vibe was amazing and the guests were always out of their seats! An excellent job melding the Arabic and American music and with the Zafa entrance. Also coordinated with other vendors the day off (e.g., Zafa band, wedding coordinator) so we didn't have to. Managed a lighting fast wedding-to-afterparty transition that never gave the festivities a chance to relent.

DJ Johnny "Danger" Stuart is YOUR DJ

I cannot say enough fantastic things about DJ Johnny Stuart. From our first meeting(s) with him to the actual event, my fiance/wife and I felt truly like we had a real partner in the entertainment aspect of our wedding. Johnny was always responsive and helpful, knows the... Read More business (and probably your venue) up and down and is just a joy to work with. Funny, cool, knowledgeable, you name it, DJ Johnny is your man. He made a stressful experience fun, but also made sure we were covered in all the important areas. "What do you want for procession music? How about introductions? What vibe do you want for cocktail hour?" - all aspects you may have neglected to think about, Johnny Stuart has you covered. And on the day of the BIG event... Johnny was set up, prepared and just made the party happen. He even acted as a de facto MC when needed. A true class act and a great ally to have for any big event that requires a real professional to handle the party and make sure people are on their feet (and you are feeling good!). Do yourself a favor and book this man in advance. You'll be glad you did. ~Guy & Marissa Rader Astoria, NY (Hired Johnny Stuart as our DJ for a wedding 9/13/14)

wow!

DJ Johnny was absolutely amazing at our wedding this past weekend in the Hamptons. He understood what we wanted and expected from our first meeting. He was easy to work with in order to orchestrate the music for the atmosphere we wanted to create. He is super passionate about... Read More what he does, and that shows through in his work. He played music during cocktail hour, dinner, and then dancing. Each part had music that was different from each other but fit the mood perfectly. During dancing, Johnny kept everyone on their feet the entire time. I have never seen this at a wedding- people didn't want the night to end. Since the wedding, we have heard from many people it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to, and I think that is largely due to the music. I would highly recommend him and can't wait to throw another party so we can work together again!

Johnny is great!!!!

We were so lucky that we found Johnny as our wedding DJ at Hyatt. It was a cultural and western combined wedding and my families and in-laws came all the way from China to attend. We all had such a great time on the wedding night. Johnny is such a pleasure to work with and he... Read More is very responsive, professional and corporative through our entire music list preparation and the wedding. He did both ceremony and reception part and all my families and friends joined for dancing and it was really incredible! Highly recommend to all of you guys who are looking for a great DJ. Both my husband and I want to say thank you so much to Johnny for such a wonderful wedding! THANK YOU!

Splendid

We got married in NYC in may, but organised the whole thing from Ecuador, South America. He recommended places where we could have our wedding, along with a lot of tips four our big night. It was a very singular wedding, since guests flew in from all around the world, making it... Read More a very diverse and multicultural event. The place he personally helped us pick turned out to be amazing, the food was great, but the music was the central entertainment. Everybody felt connected to the music, and Johnny created an energetic environment full of dance and laughter. We gave him a list of the music we wanted, and he mixed it to perfection. We absolutely recommend him for anyone looking for the greatest wedding DJ!

Johnny was amazing!!! Kept everyone dancing and having fun!!!

I have the best things to say about Johnny. He was the utmost professional from our first meeting. He is very diligent and timely - he kept me on track with all the needed paperwork and itinerary. We had traditional dancers with announcements where timing was crucial for guests'... Read More surprises and he adhered to everything to the microsecond! Amazing - he promised he would b/c of his experience in fashion and he DELIVERED!!!!! The guests loved him too - so many compliments! He also complied completely with my playlist and do-not-play list and made sure he understood everything in advance!

A Love That Will Last: A Gay Wedding

DJ Johnny was very helpful and responsive during the preparations leading up to our wedding in Jersey City, NJ in May 2014. He has a vast knowledge of song styles and can match what you want your overall theme to be perfectly with his choice of songs. He also seamlessly weaved... Read More in the specific songs we wanted to include in our reception and ceremony. Johnny was expert in coordinating our live singer with her needs of music tracks and sound. Johnny had the perfect mix of upbeat and slow songs and knew exactly how and when to play them to add to the overall success of our day. Johnny has done several large events for us in the past few years from 60- 200 people and has always been professional and amazingly helpful and fun! We are a gay couple and it was very important for us to have a DJ that would be excited about working with us to create a special day. DJ Johnny came thru in every way possible and we would highly recommend him and his services to any couple looking to have a great experience. There is only one DJ and his name is....Johnny Stuart!

DJ Johnny kept the party going all night!!

He was easy to work with, super flexible when we were scheduling meetings, had as many prep conversations with us as we needed, put together a detailed timeline with every song we wanted to play for all of the key moments, and did a great job with music at the cocktail hour,... Read More throughout dinner, and then had people on the dance floor until 2am!! Even our parents and older relatives were dancing. DJ Johnny is well worth his fee and THEN SOME! Don't waste your money on a huge band when all you need is one amazing DJ!

Fun-Filled Dance Party!!

We can not say enough amazing things about DJ Johnny. He DJ-ed our wedding last weekend, and everyone is still talking about how much fun they had! Both our wedding venue and wedding planner said that they have never seen so many people on the dance floor at any other wedding... Read More -- this was all a big testament to DJ Johnny! Johnny was so much fun to work with throughout the wedding planning process. He was available to chat anytime, and to answer any questions that I had, and was very flexible with any of our requests. I felt so comfortable knowing that he would pick a great mix of songs to play that would get people dancing throughout the night! I provided him with a few of my favorite songs, and he ran with the rest, creating a perfect playlist (my guests were actually asking for the full list of songs that he played....) The night was filled with an amazing mix of rock and dance songs that kept the crowd going - we were all sweating and jumping by the end of the night, which is truly the sign of a great wedding! I could not more highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for an upbeat, fun-filled wedding.

Wedding DJ

Johnny Stuart is hands down the best DJ ever. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long and they did not want the party to end. DJ Johnny Stuart was able to accommodate our music requests and tastes and integrate the music in a way that no one wanted to leave the dance... Read More floor!! We could not be any happier! We highly recommend DJ Johnny Stuart!!!
