Kenny was a breeze to work with – proactive, understanding, and never pushy about song choices. Despite us not confirming all our requests early on, he worked collaboratively, ensuring each selection reflected our preferences. His knowledge of our venue (MKJ Farm) was a huge asset in deciding our layout. Kenny's vibrant personality added a fun touch to announcements, and he skillfully kept our party lively, even igniting the dance floor during cocktail hour! Highly recommend Kenny for any event!
Kenny was great! He was the DJ for our wedding. From start to finish communication was great, he listened to what we wanted, and kept the night going. Highly recommend.
Kenny is truly amazing! He took care of everything and you can tell he has been doing this for a while! He was kind, funny, and passionate! Truly made our day! I can’t recommend him enough!
Kenny was so much fun to have with us on our special day. He was sure to include all of the little moments we really wanted, kept the timeline of everything, and had the dance floor going the entire night! We had an absolute blast on our wedding day, having the right DJ to know what to play to keep things going is so important. Kenny was fun and engaging, knew his audience, and what this music loving bride, wanted to sing and dance to. Highly recommend!
Working with Kenny was probably the easiest part of our wedding planning. He communicated clearly and regularly, and made it so evident that he genuinely cared about who we are and what we hoped for our day! When it came to our wedding day, we had absolutely no concerns and knew that Kenny would keep things moving while being flexible (a strict timeline was stressful to us). We were right in having that confidence— everything went so smoothly, transitions were perfect, and the dance floor was packed the entire night! We’ve had SO many compliments on our reception, specifically regarding our DJ! We would 100% recommend Kenny the Promo Guy!

Kenny was an excellent DJ! Everyone was on the dance floor all night. He was very personable, professional and efficient. 10/10 recommend him!
DJ Kenny was the BEST part of my wedding! He was open about all our crazy requests and created the best environment to keep the party going! I seriously couldn’t recommend him enough if you want a smooth and seamless process.
Kenny was amazing to work with throughout the entire process of planning our wedding and the day of the big event. He carefully worked with us to find the right blend of music for cocktail hour, dinner, and a night filled with dancing, while also guiding us through developing our sequence of events for the reception. His humor, professionalism, thoughtfulness throughout the night made the reception a blast for us and our guests. He kept the energy up all night and ensured we had a perfect event that we and our guests will never forget. Kenny is the DJ you need for your wedding!
We had Kenny DJ our wedding on June 16th and we have nothing but amazing things to say about him! From the beginning of the planning process to the end, no details were left out and Kenny was very thorough with making sure that our music was everything that we wanted. Our guests were out on the dance floor all night and we really enjoyed being able to get to know Kenny, he has an awesome personality! Book him!
Kenny was absolutely incredible throughout our entire wedding preparation which continued into the day of the wedding. He was quick to respond to all of our questions and followed through on all of our requests no matter how crazy they were. He made multiple edits on mixes we requested for special dances and refused to give up on them until they were absolutely perfect. He was attentive to the crowd and played hits the entire night even when we didn’t have a specified playlist for certain moments. He also took control when our venue dropped the ball on a few things and he made sure that everything went the way we wanted it to. He even coordinated getting the photographer to stay an extra hour when there was a miscommunication on the reception end time. There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing working with Kenny has been and I would recommend him a million times over for any event that needs a DJ.
Kenny was the perfect DJ for our wedding! His high energy and great music choices got our guests dancing and enjoying themselves all evening! He is knowledgeable, friendly, communicative, and attentive through the whole process. He was promptly available to plan, review, and help us choose the music and timeline of our ceremony, events, and reception. He gave great suggestions and advice and understood what we wanted even when I didn't! He helped make our wedding day beautiful, and gave us great memories to share with our family and friends!
Working with Kenny was an amazing experience. He was personable, responsive, and accommodating. Kenny did the music for our ceremony and our reception and everything was seamless! The music was awesome. Everything flowed very nicely. Even the worked as a wedding coordinator in some ways lol. We sat with him multiple times before the wedding and went through the day hour by hour, minute by minute. He was able to walk us through what day was going to look like and helped us more ways than one. Highly recommend DJ KENNY!!!
Kenny was amazing to work with. He was very responsive, organized and knowledgeable. He helped us with choosing some music, offered some great suggestions, and walked us through the order of events. He is extremely friendly, funny, and upbeat. He had everyone dancing throughout the whole ceremony and definitely enhanced the whole experience. I would recommend Kenny to anyone who is looking for a DJ for any occasion!
Kenny was so amazing to work with for our wedding in June!! He was always on top of all the little details we needed for each aspect of cocktail hour & reception, and made sure our requested songs fit in with the vibes of our guests. Our dance floor was incredible and it started with his energy. Highly recommend him for all of your events!!
We loved working with Kenny. It was probably the easiest and best decision we made with our wedding. We contacted him just prior to pandemic starting and then everything closed. He was amazing at coming up with phone calls and video calls to make us feel comfortable. He was so knowledgeable with wedding timelines and what works best at certain wedding venues. He had a new website to use that was easy and he allowed for music requests from us before the wedding. When we finally met him in person we both gave him a big hug. He made you feel comfortable mad like you’ve known him for years. He really has perfected his craft.
Kenny is the absolute BEST DJ ever! From our first phone call, I knew hiring Kenny would be the best decision we could have made. We met with him a week before our wedding, and we felt like we’ve known him forever! He is so easy to talk to and makes sure everything is correct and perfect before the big day. He is so kind and caring and wants you to have the best day. Kenny truly made our reception, and he kept the party going from start to finish. Everyone still can’t stop talking about him and how amazing he was. He was so good, the hotel we had our reception at wants to put him on their vendor list! If you want everyone to be on the dance floor all night, and the best reception ever, hire Kenny! He’s the BEST!
The best DJ ever. Us and ALL of our guests loved him. We had such an amazing and fun time and Kenny made that happen for us! Hire Kenny and you will not be disappointed.
Kenny was amazing! He made the day perfect from start to finish, accommodated everything we wanted to do and was a great host! We highly recommend him for any wedding, party or event! You will not be disappointed!
Wonderful!
Kenny is exactly what we needed to get out of this covid funk. He’s so funny, HELPFUL, and down to earth!! He made my guests feel comfortable and take their minds away from the stressful times that we are living in. The sound quality is incredible, and the music selection is ENDLESS!! He can vibe with any style out there. Kenny played every song that I requested, and he made sure to avoid the songs I attested to. My guests fed off of his energy and professionalism. I saw people dance that I never would have expected! I am still on cloud 9 from my wedding date, and a big piece of that was from Kenny. He’s genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever met. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Kenny to set the mood and tone of your event!
Kenny made the whole DJ process so easy and stress free. He was always an email away and whenever I had a question and he answered so quickly. We met a few weeks before our wedding and he was so welcoming and helpful. The day of our wedding was nothing short of perfect. He played all the music we requested and was a great DJ for our crowd. I HIGHLY recommend Kenny to be your DJ, you won't regret it!!
I cannot recommend Kenny enough!! I didn’t have ANY anxiety about my ceremony/reception transitions running smoothly because I knew Kenny had it under control! He responded to all of my questions super quickly and played the best music at my reception- people danced the ENTIRE night.
DJ Kenny was the perfect addition to our wedding. Punctual, prepared, and so easy to work with. We had so many comments from guests and venue staff about how great our DJ was. The dance floor was full all night and he was able to incorporate every little detail we wanted for ceremony, cocktail hour, & reception. Work with Kenny and you won't be disappointed!
Wow. Kenny did a phenomenal job as our wedding DJ. He went above and beyond throughout the preparation and execution of the event. Kenny was super flexible throughout the entire wedding preparation process, in terms of meeting locations and times. Throughout the process, he gave us suggestions as to different ways to help make our day run smoothly without being pushy and was flexible when we decided to add an hour additional of his service. Kenny was super helpful in helping us achieve our goals for the ceremony. For example, one thing that we really wanted was to have microphones in the ceremony without having the mic stand in the pictures. Kenny helped with coordinating how to have mics for the officiant, us, and 3 readers and not have them visible in pictures. For the reception, instead of picking a lot of individual songs, we gave Kenny a few genres we liked with a few examples of artists we liked and told him to play whatever he thought the crowd wanted. I have never seen classic rock, 90s/2000s pop, and country sound so good played at the same event. He did great reading the crowd and playing just exactly what the crowd wanted at the time. We had such a great time and loved working with such a fun DJ. Kenny- you rock!
Kenny did a phenomenal job DJing our wedding. From the start he worked with us to create our dream day and was responsive to all of my questions, which was important to me as an out of town bride! Our wedding was fantastic and everyone had an amazing time. Kenny was able to deal with last minute music changes for the ceremony and everything turned out perfectly. I highly recommend Kenny!
Kenny is hands down the best DJ in central NY. The dance floor was packed the entire night!
We cannot say enough good things about Kenny the Promo Guy- he is simply the BEST DJ! When you hire a DJ for your wedding, you want someone that is going to make all the guests want to have fun and with Kenny you get that. He has the most AMAZING, FUN, but professional personality!!!!!! He is a great guy in general- very approachable! He makes the entire night run smoothly, from the intros, to all the formalities, to the dance party!! Planning a wedding is stressful, but music was one thing we did not have to worry about because Kenny has the most experience, truly knows what he is doing and knows how to make it an unforgettable fun night!!! He is quick to respond and his online tool is very user friendly and a helpful tool! Don't hesitate booking him- he's simply the BEST!
Kenny was professional and took care of everything we needed! We didn't need to worry about a thing the entire reception!
Everyone at my wedding said it was the most fun wedding they'd ever been to, and I think full credit for that goes to Promo Productions. Kenny knows how to keep the party going, and the dance floor was never empty. He was super easygoing and understanding of any last-minute changes that popped up, and he took photos, too! Seriously an amazing service, and I would recommend Promo Productions for your wedding or any other party!
kenny was a wonderful addition to our wedding. He was very professional, involved himself where he needed to but didn't overpower the event. He played all of the songs that we asked to be played. He uses an online database that made it easy for us to prepare for the wedding. Kenny also takes great photos and blogs about his experience at your wedding...pretty cool. We will definitely use Kenny again for future parties.
I already knew Kenny, the owner, from his radio DJ job and my wife had previously seen him perform at her cousin's wedding so we were very confident in his craft when we hired him for our wedding. His website has a client section that is very helpful in planning the reception, from listing all of the songs to be played during certain times like the mother/groom and father/bride dances to a song request page that guests can access leading up to the reception (and the bride and groom have the ability to delete anything they don't like). Prior to the reception he went over everything we had on the submission forms to offer suggestions and make sure there were no changes. We specifically wanted a big party atmosphere with a mix of music that would encourage guests of all ages to dance, not just the younger crowd, and he nailed it; people were on the dance floor for the entire reception except for when dinner was served. Avoid the risk of a horror story or a boring reception. Hire Promo Productions.
I used to work with Kenny when I was in high school and when I got engaged I knew there was no one else I would have as my DJ. He was fantastic and I have gotten multiple compliments on his work, what music he played, his attitude, the up lighting he did for us and the over all mood of the party. The DJ is one of the most important parts of a wedding and my party was an unbelievable success because of Kenny.
If you want someone that will keep your guest entertained all night and the dance floor packed Kenny is the man!!
