My wife, Taylor, and I got married a few weeks ago at Fandi Mata, in Brooklyn, and let me start with the most important thing you need to know about DJ Kevin KdotLim:
The dance flo...or was BUMPING. ALL. NIGHT.
When we started looking for a DJ for our wedding, that was our number one priority. We wanted someone who could read the room, mix across genres, and keep people dancing. And our music tastes are all over the place: Latin music, salsa and reggaeton, 90s and 2000s throwbacks, house, disco, pop, hip-hop. We wanted all of it to somehow work together.
No joke, the dance floor was packed the entire night. My man was LOCKED IN. He moved between genres seamlessly, knew when to let a song breathe and when to switch it up, how to mix songs to give them more energy, and seemed to have a sixth sense for what the crowd wanted next. Kevin did not feel like a “wedding DJ”; it more felt like all of our friends and family were at a dope NYC nightclub.
And the proof is in the ending: when his set was over, our guests literally started chanting “OTRA! OTRA! OTRA!” trying to get him to play an encore.
What also deserves mentioning is how great Kevin was long before the wedding itself. From the jump, he was communicative, organized, and incredibly easy to work with. He has a really straightforward planning process that helped us think through everything from our ceremony processional songs to cocktail hour to the reception and dance floor. He listened to what we liked, understood the vibe we were going for, and then used his own expertise to make it all work.
He also went above and beyond with our first dance. We wanted to transition between two completely different songs, and Kevin personally cut and mixed them together for us. The transition was perfect and gave us exactly the first-dance moment we had imagined.
The number of people who came up to us that night and the next day sending compliments about our DJ was so gratifying. Kevin is talented, professional, collaborative, and, most importantly, he knows how to read a room and throw a party.
We’d hire him again in a heartbeat.
