Booking Kevin for our wedding was the best decision that we made. Kevin is incredibly diligent, talented, and professional - he toured our venue on his own time and found the "vibe" that we were looking for. He absolutely crushed it - from young adult to older adults, he kept everyone on the dance floor and having an amazing time! He was able to mix genres and songs that catered to all our guests and had them flow seamlessly. We have received MANY compliments on how great he was and would highly recommend!!
Our guests could not stop raving about Kevin! He truly set the tone of the night and no one wanted to sit down for dinner. Not only was Kevin fantastic on the day of our wedding but also extremely helpful and communicative in the weeks leading up to our wedding. I would recommend Kevin to all future couples!
To say that Kevin worked with us to bring our dream wedding to life is an understatement. He truly went above and beyond every step of the way! For context, my husband and I are both big music fanatics and had a very particular vision for the vibe that we wanted to create, specifically for the dance party segment of our reception. When we found Kevin, everything clicked right into place. He was extremely receptive to what we wanted and was on the same page as us from the get-go. Kevin never made us feel like we were asking for too much; he was equally as excited to work with us as we were to work with him. Once we heard one of his sets at Monarch Rooftop, we knew he was the one for us. He not only had incredible knowledge of the sound we wanted (primarily hip-hop with some soca and dancehall), but his transitions and mixes were *chef's kiss*.
Leading up to the wedding, Kevin was extremely responsive and communicative. We had zoom calls in the weeks before the wedding to go over every detail regarding our songs for processing down the aisle and our first dances. Kevin was in touch with our venue as well to ensure that from an equipment and sound standpoint, all would go smoothly on the day of.
Words cannot describe how much fun we had during our wedding and reception thanks to Kevin's talent! So many of our guests have approached us since the wedding talking about how amazing the music was and just how fun and lit the vibes were.
Even though we had a very specific vision for our wedding (and Kevin 1000% helped us achieve it!!), he is definitely a very versatile DJ, and we fully trust that he could cater to any client's preferences and requests for their own wedding. We seriously cannot recommend him enough!
We couldn’t be happier with Kevin! Their professionalism and clear communication throughout the planning process made everything so easy. On the day, they perfectly blended our favorite indie songs with wedding classics, creating an amazing atmosphere that kept everyone on the dance floor. Highly recommend!
Kevin was outstanding! One of the best decisions we made. He over-communicated, kept us on track throughout the planning process, and then crushed the wedding reception! Couldn’t recommend him any more, awesome/professional/supportive/fun. 10 out of 10
Kevin was incredible as a DJ. He was responsive to our questions in a timely manner and was creative in incorporating his music to our suggested song list. He was very attentive during the day of the event being able to work with the venue along with our coordinator. Highly recommend!
We hired Kevin as the DJ for our wedding, and he completely exceeded our expectations! From the very beginning, he was easy to communicate with and took the time to understand the vibe we wanted for our special day. Kevin’s energy, music selection, and ability to read the crowd kept the dance floor packed the entire night. He was professional, punctual, and made sure everything flowed smoothly.
We received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had, and Kevin played a huge part in creating that atmosphere. We can’t thank him enough for making our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend Kevin if you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to bring a party to life!
From the moment we met Kevin via virtual meeting, we knew we were in great hands! He brought an infectious energy and genuine passion for music that instantly put us at ease. On our wedding day, he transformed our venue into a vibrant celebration that perfectly reflected our personalities.
Kevin worked closely with us in the lead-up to the big day, ensuring every detail was tailored to our tastes. He always responded our email in a timely manner, and the communication was on point which was very important for me. I was little worried since our wedding was on Monday daytime, but Kevin kept our reception enjoyable and the way I exactly wanted – boogie brunch party! LOL His ability to read the room was remarkable; he knew just when to switch things up and keep the energy flowing.
Not only was he professional and punctual, but he also kept the timeline on track without ever feeling pushy. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music, and many have said the music was their favorite part of the day. Even our venue manger was complimenting him.
If you want a DJ who is not only talented but also genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further than Kevin. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’re so grateful for the memories he helped create. Highly recommend!
Kevin was a star at our wedding! We didn't give him the easiest layout to work with, but he went above and beyond to make sure there was music inside and outside of our upstate farm venue--even stopping by the venue ahead of time while he was already upstate. He incorporated the music we requested so seamlessly, and added in similar other hits that fit the vibe. Everyone--from our friends, to the kids, to the aunties and uncles--raved about our DJ afterwards. He had something for everyone. We can't thank Kevin enough! If you're thinking of hiring a DJ, Kevin should be at the top of your list!!
Kevin's DJ set was awesome that several guests of ours who were planning on having a band at their own weddings actually changed their minds and decided to go with a DJ instead! The dance floor was packed the entire evening!
Kevin is truly the best.
1. He is incredibly professional. During the preparation process before the wedding, he fully understood our busy schedules and proactively reached out to us about any areas where we were lacking, allowing us to prepare accordingly. He communicated thoroughly with us about the general feel of the music we wanted, creating a wedding atmosphere that we absolutely loved. Whether you have specific requests for the wedding atmosphere or prefer a smooth, no-frills execution, Kevin fits perfectly and will do his best to assist with the wedding.
2. Right after our wedding, friends who attended and were about to get married asked for Kevin's playlist because the dance party atmosphere was fantastic. We only provided a general feel, and Kevin chose most of the songs. Additionally, many guests repeatedly told me how much they enjoyed the party atmosphere.
3. Beyond his professionalism and excellent music selection and operation skills, Kevin is genuinely great to work with and a fantastic person. Whether it's a wedding or any event requiring a DJ, we highly recommend Kevin.
We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible job that DJ Kevin Lim did at our wedding! From the moment we first contacted him, Kevin was attentive and eager to understand our music preferences. He worked closely with us to craft a playlist that perfectly captured our style and the vibe we wanted for our reception.
During the wedding itself, Kevin absolutely nailed it! The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and we were having such a blast that we couldn't bear for the party to end. Kevin graciously agreed to extend his playtime, and it was the best decision ever! The energy he brought to the room was infectious, and our guests were raving about the music for days afterward.
Multiple friends and family members told us it was the best wedding after-party they had ever been to, and we know that's largely thanks to Kevin. He seamlessly blended our favorite tunes with crowd-pleasing hits, keeping everyone on their feet and the celebration going strong.
If you're looking for a DJ who not only listens to your vision but exceeds all expectations in making your wedding day unforgettable, look no further than Kevin. He's a true professional and a master at his craft.
Do yourself a favor and book Kevin for your wedding!! Not only is he a pleasure to work with, but we also received numerous compliments about him from our guests!
I discovered Kevin whilst he was playing at bar that I went to for a friend’s birthday. He left quite an impression because I had such a great time & I left wondering if he also did weddings.
When my time finally came around to get married, he was the first vendor I rushed to book. Having a good DJ was at the top of my priority list because they really set the vibe for the evening. I’ve been to plenty of weddings where the DJ couldn’t read the room or made transitions awkward — having heard him play already, I knew I wouldn’t have that problem with him!!!
Kevin was prompt to respond to my inquiry and by the grace of God, he became available to play for our wedding. Communicating with Kevin was a breeze — my husband and I had 2 vidchat meetings and numerous email exchanges, all to which he was quick to reply. Kevin was also very helpful in directing us to booking a lights and sounds guy that would better fit our venue.
We made a list of songs we wanted to hear, didn’t want to hear, and Kevin was kind enough to help edit the song for our first dance. Day of, he was very keen on listening to our requests and we had such a great time!! The mix was great, transitions were clever, and Kevin kept everything upbeat.
Hearing Kevin play was one of the things I was looking forward to the most on our wedding day (besides getting married, of course) and he did not disappoint. We made a new friend and we are not shy about recommending him to friends! Thank you Kevin, for everything and you’ll def be seeing us again!
Truly,
Jen & Paul
Kevin was amazing. He created such a terrific vibrant atmosphere, was very attentive to what we wanted played, and also gave us great advice in terms of balancing that with what music gets people up and moving. Also, what a nice, genuine guy. Can't recommend him enough for your wedding.
Kevin came to us a referral from another DJ we had reached out to. We needed a DJ for our afterparty and were looking for someone who could get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there. If that sounds like you, please go with Kevin I promise you will not be disappointed!
We had a short call initially and communicated via email after that. Kevin was extremely responsive and prompt, a complete professional. He shared us on a spreadsheet for timeline, song requests, and (my personal favorite touch) a do not play list.
Thank you so much Kevin!
Kevin is truly a 5 star professional in every sense of the expression. From the first initial meeting, communication up the event, and the event itself- Kevin was beyond amazing. One of our favorite quotes was a friend who after our wedding said “can I just have that DJ follow me around in my daily life?”
We would 10/10 recommend Kevin for any event, he made our wedding very special. Read the room and vibes perfectly. He even went and checked on the space a few days before to ensure his set up would work well. Thank you Kevin for being the best!
Kevin DJ’d my wedding and did an awesome job. He came early to set up, helped coordinate the night, and incorporated songs I asked for / my taste into the sets. Everyone had a great time and I could not have asked for a better experience!
Kevin is AMAZING!!! He DJed our wedding celebration in May 2024, and WOW - he was 100000% our dream DJ. We had eloped a year earlier, so our "vision" for the night was to have an epic dance party with all of our friends - Kevin understood this immediately, and delivered truly beyond our wildest imagination! He kept the vibes moving during cocktail hour, and then seriously BROUGHT THE PARTY. The dancefloor was packed for over 3 hours straight. It felt like every single person there asked us where we had found our DJ, and they couldn't believe the mixes he was doing on the fly!!
From the moment I first reached out to him in January right up until the end of the event, Kevin was consistently professional, upbeat, and efficient. He replied to all communication quickly, and was SO thoughtful in his preparation. He provided a shared document months ahead of time so that we could share music and scheduling info, and on the night of the event it was so evident that he had paid attention to every single detail ever mentioned in the document, over Zoom, or on our site visit. Every single must-play song came on at the perfect time, he managed to source very specific remixes that I had mentioned, and he kept the night running on schedule with such a chill, stress-free, and adaptable vibe. Kevin even introduced us to his colleague Richie for dance lights when we were debating our lighting options, which also ended up being absolutely perfect!
I cannot stress enough how collaborative and understanding Kevin is, how smooth the process was, and most importantly - what a KILLER DJ he is. He truly wants to deliver the night of your dreams. My heart felt like it was going to explode in the best way multiple times that night, because of all the incredible, better-than-you-could-ever-have-imagined dancefloor moments. I wish we had an excuse to do it all over again, I would work with Kevin again in a heartbeat!!!
After seeing Kevin DJ at my cousins wedding, we knew we had to hire him. From our initial consultation to the last song of the night, his professionalism and passion showed through. He answered every email and question in a timely manner and paid attention to every detail we requested. He provides a questionnaire to better understand what kind of music you like and dislike, and aside from a few asks we let him do his thing. He played just the right music to keep the party going, paying attention to what the crowd was feeling. Overall, Kevin played a pivotal role in making our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommended Kevin for your special day!
Kevin DJd our NYC wedding in October. Best choice ever!
Aside from, “congratulations,” “tune!” was probably the most shouted word at our wedding.
Our entire wedding (pre-ceremony mingling and drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing) took place in one location - a restaurant. That put a lot of pressure on the music since we needed to set and maintain a tone while tuning the energy for different phases of the evening. Kevin nailed it.
From the first meeting, he was creative, collaborative, responsive and kind. We didn’t start with an exact vision for what we wanted, so he helped us refine our “brief” by asking thoughtful questions about us, our guests, etc.
He proactively went on two site visits to our venue to meet the events team, understand the space and optimize speaker placement. He requested to come to our rehearsal (in the pouring rain) to ensure he hit certain music cues for our processional. I mean, above and beyond.
In the end, he concepted and created the most PERFECT mix, which took us from café music and crooner vibes to yacht rock to the club. He played all our favorites, but it didn’t feel cookie cutter, and he mixed everything in a way that kept people excited and on the dance floor.
We loved working with Kevin from start to finish and hope we have another excuse to work with him in the future!
