DJ Kelly Hooper

ke sure everything was top notch. She helped with our officiant and our ceremony musician we had. Our reception was amazing and was so fun! I will always recommend Kelly when anyone is looking for a DJ!

(which I still have) and told her that I wanted to hire her for my wedding. Seeing as my wedding was so far off at that point, I would've had plenty of time to find another DJ but NO, it wasn't even a question in my mind, I knew Kelly had to be there on our big day. I cannot say enough good things. She is punctual, friendly, energetic, passionate, caring, easy to talk to and communicate with. All the things you look for when hiring for your wedding or any event. She went above and beyond on the wedding day by helping with setup, assisting in issues that would arise from layout/weather/any other mishap that goes on at weddings. She also made sure to check on us throughout the night make sure we had an amazing time. You can tell she loves her job and really cares about her couples. She did all this while thoroughly entertaining our guests and overall just being a rockstar at her job. We had so many compliments on the music and she did such a great job getting people out on the dance floor! We had a blast and I feel so blessed that she was a part of one of the biggest days of our lives. Seriously, if you are on the fence about booking, DO IT!!! Thank you so very much Kelly!!!

ad the perfect entrance. I have never seen a dance floor as packed as it was that night. She read the crowd to know the perfect mix of songs that everyone of all ages could enjoy. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a single issue with the sound or anything and were able to truly be present and cherish the moments. She is your go-to girl if you want a fun, memorable night. I would recommend her highly to anyone having a special event!

or pleased. Kelly was always available during the planning leading up to the wedding. I made many last minute changes and it was never an issue for her. She not only played the songs I requested but made the perfect choice on everything else. She kept everything and everyone on schedule the entire evening. She is so good at reading the crowd and kept the dance floor moving. She is so much fun! Thanks again, Kelly. You rock!

w to plan a wedding! From the moment we first spoke on the phone I knew I was going to love her! Then the second I met her at our first meeting I instantly felt like I’d met a long lost friend! She knew exactly what I was looking for and wanting before I could even say it. Each meeting and text (and believe me I texted A LOT) she always treated me (us) like one of her most important clients. She went out of her way to research beautiful instrumental versions of songs we wanted... and the work she did made the choosing hard because I wanted them all! She helped give me tips and ideas and referrals for every aspect of putting the wedding together. After months of planning it was finally our big day... she arrived at the venue and set up before I even arrived. She came to visit while we were all getting ready and made sure I had everything I needed. She helped with last minute items and made special deliveries for me to my husband to be. She helped direct guests and had music going to set the ambience as guests arrived. She made me feel like the most special bride there ever was! The timing of each song during the ceremony was perfect and made the experience that much more beautiful and emotional! Still to this day I will play the ceremony playlist and get teary eyed! During the cocktail hour she kept our guests happy and entertained while we took pictures. She knew exactly how to keep the whole event going seamlessly; including helping to release tables during the dinner hour. The whole day/night was such a blur, but what I remember most was how she mingled with our guests by talking to them and even getting on the dance floor and dancing with us all.. especially during line dance songs so that everyone had an example of the moves! She truly was such a pleasure and I will never forget how she made our day that much more special! I will end this in saying that my top 2 priorities were music and photography... she blew my wedding away with her art and generosity! I definitely made the right choice by choosing her and so will anyone else that makes the same decision!! Thank you, Kelly, for everything you did! I felt blessed and still do!!! ❤️

to hear, and made sure we were taken care of. We had such a memorable time, and Kelly was a huge part of that!

quick with suggestions that matched the rest of the wedding playlist. She knows how to keep people dancing and is just a joy to work with. She also is really great at keeping the party going and is strategic with the reception activities. Trust her in her ideas and opinions because it is totally worth it. Highly suggest to anyone and everyone.

e right decision. All night long she made sure we were happy and everything was going like we hoped. She helped me to coordinate all the entrances and all the hard things I had a hard time with. She helped us by suggesting songs and listening and really understanding our varied taste in music. She is great at reading a room and making sure everyone is having fun! After attending several weddings in the past year with no DJ or live music, just a playlist and a dad with a speaker and many mishaps, it is so apparent to me how difficult her job is and how amazing Kelly is at doing it. All the music, speeches, and announcements were so seamless and without mishap – haha! Seriously, we are so happy with everything she did. I cannot normally just let go & let things happen and I was able to during my reception because of Kelly – I knew she was taking care of the timeline and that everything was going great! We were so so happy we was able to enjoy everything and have no stress! We LOVED our wedding and Kelly was such a huge part of that. On top of everything else, she captured some pictures and videos that no one else did and that have tied us over until getting photos back from our photographer! If you use Kelly as your DJ you will not regret it!

efore, however, but Christy distinctly remembered a situation where she needed advise from a DJ, posted on a forum, and DJ Kelly was the only one to respond instantly to Christy. My husband and I reach out to Kelly, hoping she had room in her schedule to accommodate our special day. Kelly responded immediately, and the energy she brought, just through her initial correspondence, was STELLAR! We KNEW instantly we made the right choice! My husband and I live in Boston, so meeting Kelly in person was a priority because we really wanted to build that in-person connection. Kelly understood completely and invited us to meet with her at the Dallas World Aquarium the next time we were in town visiting family and wrangling wedding shenanigans! Y'all.... when I say Kelly gave us fireworks and a grandiose tour, I AM NOT JOSHIN'!!!! The moment we met Kelly I felt the love, the energy, and all the good vibes... you know, the ones that give you goose bumps! She took us in, coached us through how the day would probably go, and what to start thinking about musically. She also gave a free pass to my family to explore the Aquarium and gave us a private tour while she was at it! UN-BELIEVABLE! ABOVE AND BEYOND! As the days came closer to "The Big One," Kelly was on par with communication. EXTREMELY accomodating of our time, always open to FaceTime, and never skipped a beat when hashing out the deets on the music. She even created our own mash-up for the mother-son dance! But I'm not stoppin' there, oh no, cuz Kelly didn't stop there either! I dunno how much more I can stress that this woman went so far and beyond her call of duty that she was in the stratosphere! C'mon somebody! "The Big Day" is here, and guess where Kelly spent her entire day.....? WITH US! She arrived HOURS before the ceremony even began to setup, mic check, sound check, and make sure all the details were in place. She don't play, y'all! And when the moment arrived to walk down the isle...... we were all in tears! Kelly's power to command music and evoke emotion is unparalleled by none! When I told Kelly "I wanted tears," SHE LITERALLY DELIVERED TEARS. The icing on the cake was the reception. I follow Kelly on Instagram and saw she had done a wedding a few weeks before ours and reached out to her letting her know I was amazed by the dance party wedding she did with all the glow tubes and lighting. Kelly SURPRISED us with freakin' GLOW TUBES!!! She turnt up, y'all! The sweetest gift! She DID NOT have to do this, but because she knew I loved it so much, she came with her A-Game and did not disappoint! But I think my favorite moment of all was when my husband and I had our Sweetheart dance. It was just myself, my husband, and Kelly, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Thank you, Kelly, from the bottom of our hearts, for going above and beyond for our special day. I have NEVER meet anyone as caring, compassionate, passionate, and hard-working as you. There are literally no words for the efforts you afforded us to have a seamless and worry-free wedding. You helped create life-long memories that will never be forgotten, and for that we are forever indebted to you. We love you, Kelly! #loveislove

smoothly. Look no further for a DJ! Kelly is the best!

l job of making the wedding reception feel like one big party! She played all the music we wanted and requested as well as changing up the pace of music by reading the crowd and changing the tunes as necessary. I got so many compliments on the food and the DJ throughout the night and I know my wedding would not have been the same without Kelly there! Also, she came to say hi before the ceremony in the bridal suite and she teared up and complimented me, WHAT KIND OF DJ DOES THAT??! I consider her family now and I would not refer another DJ besides Kelly! She makes you a priority, she's extremely professional, and she throws a hell of a party! I promise you won't regret hiring her!

impressed with her enthusiasm, upbeat personality, and willingness to go above and beyond. Kelly IS the life of the party, and she will make you want to get on the dance floor and shake yah tail feather! Her knowledge of music and FUN knows no limits, and she will do whatever it takes to make her clients happy! I wanted a non-traditional wedding ceremony with rock music, and it turned out phenomenal. Kelly really incorporated our personalities into our ceremony and reception music, and kept the dance floor packed all night long! I can not recommend her enough!!!

ing process, gave me tips, and made us feel like we were the only wedding she had. If you check out her social media, the woman is busy!! But she always made us feel like a priority, she was never distracted, and she was so detail oriented! There were things I said to her in passing that she remembered and used on our day.....specific songs, reasons for the songs and special shout outs. There were times during the reception that I said “how the heck did she remember that?!? I mentioned that months ago!!” When it came to the music, she played songs we really wanted to hear, she stayed away from the “Do Not Play List” and read the crowd to make sure the dance floor was always packed.....which it was! Instead of slamming alcohol all night, I was slamming water because of all the dancing 😆 Not to mention, she captured some video and pictures that no one else caught. She wasn’t just our DJ, she was a friend who just wanted to make us happy. I highly recommend her! Best decision I made!! Thx again Kelly for everything! You made our wedding so memorable and SO MUCH FUN!!! ❤️😘

could want or hope for in a DJ! My wife (yay, I can say that now!) and I hired DJ Kelly Hooper for our wedding ceremony and reception. We originally met her at a Brides and Brews event in Wylie. From the start we knew we wanted to hire her. She is super welcoming of everyone (LGBT!) and immediately makes you feel relaxed and at ease. Talking with her you’d think that you’ve known her forever. Book her early because she is in demand! Check out her Instagram and you can see she always has some fun event going on and everyone is smiling and having a great time! Now for the nitty gritty, DJ Kelly Hooper has a very streamlined booking process. Contact her, fill out her contract (very straightforward), pay half up front, pay remaining half before the event. Now a PSA for DJs: if you think your iPhone’s playlist or Spotify can replace a DJ? No, just no. DJ Kelly does so much more than just play music. She is a master of ceremony, she keeps the tempo of the wedding going. She seamlessly transitions from one part of the wedding or song to the next. She does this for a living and her professionalism and passion for what she does is clearly self-evident. Nothing against bands, but I’ve been to a bunch of weddings, they are usually super loud and hard to dance to. If you want a fun party-like atmosphere where your guests dance and have a great time a DJ is the way to go, specifically DJ Kelly Hooper. A few weeks before the wedding DJ Kelly Hooper contacted us and met us in person. She gathered information about how we wanted our wedding to flow, what was the timeline, what music did we like, what music did we hate, etc. On the day of the wedding Kelly showed up super early ready to jump in and help with whatever she could. I’m telling you she helped set up tables, greeted guests, put finishing touches anywhere she could to ensure our day was perfect and it was. I cannot thank her enough for all that she did. She truly went above and beyond. She knew we didn’t have a wedding coordinator and were very DIY so she helped us immensely! Sorry if this review is long and winded but we can’t thank DJ Kelly Hooper enough for all that she did at our wedding. She is fantastic and wonderful and you will not regret hiring her! We truly appreciate everything she did for us and will not forget her. Thank you Kelly! Sincerely, Courtney and Susy

ess. Everyone loved the songs and the night was more magical and perfect than I could have dreamed. Hire her, hire her, hire her. You will not regret it. She is worth every.damn.penny.

he music and dancing was. Our wedding was untraditional in the sense that it joined two different cultures. Kelly was able to mix in traditional Albanian music flawlessly and keep the dance floor packed while doing so. We hired Kelly for the reception only but she still showed up several hours before the ceremony to make sure that not only was she set up and ready to go, but that I was taken care of. She even stayed with me to make sure I was calm and ready to walk the aisle. Kelly is truly an amazing DJ but even more importantly an incredible and kind person. She’s so much more than just a DJ. You can go wrong with hiring DJ Kelly Hooper!

he night. I cannot endorse Kelly enough! She was the absolute best DJ I have ever seen and at my age, I have been to a ton of weddings and events to be able to compare her to others. I would happily recommend her for weddings, corporate events or really anything where you want your guests to have an amazing, fun time!

cking in on how everything was going. On the day-of, she was such a huge help in making sure that everything ran perfectly smoothly--from being flexible when we moved the ceremony, to working in a pretty sizable list of special songs, to keeping the guests aware of all of our reception highlights in a subtle, natural way. Music-wise, she hit the perfect note all evening, and totally nailed the relaxed vibe we wanted for cocktails and dinner. Once the dance floor opened, she kept things busy all night (even pulling in a few guests that swore they never danced), and our friends are still talking about how great the music was a few weeks later. All in all, I don't think I could have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!

k you Kelly!

the wedding she sent me multiple versions of the songs I requested for the ceremony to ensure I was getting the exact sound I wanted. The songs played during the reception were exactly what we wanted! She was very flexible during the reception when we decided to make on the fly changes with some of the timeline. I highly recommend Kelly!

the songs she played and the guest’s reaction. She is worth hiring!

al night she made happen. She not only kept my guests up and dancing the whole night (people of every age), but she kept to our timeline and helped the night go that much more smoothly. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with her! 10/10 would recommend and would book her again in a heartbeat!

rson to talk about my wedding that she was going to be amazing. We met twice in person for planning before my event. Kelly was prompt and professional, yet down to earth and REAL. She listened to all my special requests and we collaborated beautifully together. She knew my needs before I even knew my own needs. She is truly an expert in her field. On our wedding day, Kelly showed up bright and early for sound check and to make sure everything was set and ready to go. She played all the music for our ceremony, happy hour, dinner, and reception. I gave her a short list of "must play" songs and she played every single one of them. Every single little detail was taken care of as if it were her own wedding. She doesn't JUST play music for your event, Kelly is the WHOLE PACKAGE. She gets the crowd involved and gets the party started. Everyone was on their feet dancing as the night went on. Kelly even joined us on the dance floor a time or two and it was so much fun. She MC'd the entire evening and made special announcements as per our schedule for the night. We rounded off the evening with our Sweetheart Dance (which I didn't even know was a "thing" until Kelly told me about it and I was like... HECK YES we're doing a sweetheart dance!). My new hubby and I had one last dance in the room all to ourselves and the finishing touch on the very last song she played just made my heart melt. She literally KILLED IT and we couldn't be more pleased with how things turned out. She truly was the seam that brought the entire evening together. We had so much fun and made memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a DJ for their event, and especially for your wedding day.

e sure to cater to everyone and kept the dance floor busy! She was so easy to work with and communication was never an issue. She even offered for us to have our rehearsal dinner at the Dallas Aquarium when there was a possibility that our original location was going to fall through. She really went above and beyond. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to all of our family and friends. Rachel and Andrew

r years. Throughout the entire planning process, she was personally available to both of us for any questions we had, and she gave me tons of advice on all sorts of wedding matters. Kelly took initiative in coordinating with other vendors, and helped direct traffic on the wedding day. She was flexible and available, even attended the final meeting at the venue to help plan with her itinerary and answer questions. So let's talk about the big day. It was beautiful and perfect, and people have raved about three things: the music, the cake, and the flowers. Kelly created the exact atmosphere we wanted for our reception, and perfectly represented us and our parents. She helped us create a special moment with a surprise tribute, and was an entertaining and informative host. She kept us all on track throughout the evening, and was just wonderful. I cannot say enough about her professionalism, musical intuition, ability to read/direct/entertain a crowd of 265, outgoing personality, and authenticity.

rsonality too we just loved her!!!

she was awesome to work with!

edding day. Kept the flow of the reception very well. Got people up and dancing and knew what to do next or not to change the music to keep everyone dancing. We had so much fun, guests of all ages enjoyed themselves. Very professional!

er! Kelly met with the bride and groom on multiple occasions to get to know us, talk about her services, and get a specific idea of what we needed. She counseled us on the order of the reception and made it run very smoothly. She did our ceremony and reception music at the same site and did a perfect job. She came to the rehearsal to make sure we were all cued on the music and ready to go, and she found all the songs we asked for, even the obscure ones, at no extra cost. She is so affordable and versatile. Kelly roamed among the crowd occassionally to get people up on the dance floor, but she didn't talk much on the mic during the night, other than to be our master of ceremonies (she's not one to love the sound of her own voice!). Kelly charged me for a 6 hour stint, but arrived several hours early to set up and make sure we were all ready. She had a list of requests, must-haves, and don't plays, and she did a great job mediating between my country-loving family and my pop-loving friends all evening, keeping everyone on the dance floor. Kelly is very thorough and careful to make our night special for us. We got to set up whether she would take requests from our guests in advance. She also has a great playlist for ceremony/cocktail reception/dinner/dancing transitions. The music was never too loud and always provided the right atmosphere without intruding. Kelly was also so much fun to be around that everyone loved her!
