About this vendor
A DJ for couples who want to GET DOWN
DJ Kerem is for couples who want an actual dance party at their wedding. ✨ We focus on allowing couples and their guests to share joy and love through music. If you’re a true music lover who wants a DJ that pays close attention to your taste, knows how to read a room, and can take your party on a musical journey, look no further.
A streamlined, simplified process.
Let’s be honest: planning a wedding is stressful! We aim to give you one less thing to worry about. Over the years, we’ve perfected a processes that streamlines the process of gathering your music selections, collecting all notes about emceeing and logistics, and tying up all loose ends.
It’s about you.
In addition to your specific music cues, we ask couples to send us a playlist to get a feel for your taste. We then sift through our existing music library of wedding go-to’s and other bangers that feel appropriate for your wedding.
The right songs at the right time.
The result of this process is a digital "crate" of music that allows us to deliver exactly what you want while maintaining a bit of freedom to read the room and improvise in the moment. If your families are dancing, we can make sure to play some songs they recognize. When the crowd is ready to turn up, we know just what will push your buttons. From there...
It comes down to taste.
A lot of wedding DJs take a lowest common denominator approach to their song selection, simply choosing the most recognizable songs. We’re here to say we can do better than “Cotton Eye Joe” and “I Gotta Feeling.” We got into this business because we love music, and there’s no shortage of great music that will keep the whole dance floor moving.
Experience and professionalism.
We’ll spare you the boring technical details (unless you want ‘em — feel free to ask!), but here’s the bottom line: our commitment to providing high quality audio means that there are no curveballs that can stop us from getting the dancefloor going. From unexpected technical difficulties to shy crowds, we have the knowhow to navigate any obstacle.
Humility and gratitude.
We never lose sight of the fact that we provide an essential service to couples on one of the most important nights of their lives. Sharing joy and getting down on the dance floor is the best way to cap off a celebration of your love, and it’s a privilege to get to do this for a living. We endeavor to keep that perspective in every facet of our business — from our customer service (we’re always just a phone call, text or email away) to our professionalism.

DJ Kerem was such a delight to work with at our wedding. He was very professional and organized, providing a form to submit to better understand our music taste. This was so important to me, as I get tired of the same over played wedding music, and I wanted the dance floor to better reflect what we enjoy! I received so many compliments about his song selection, catering to both our American and Indian family and friends. Also, the added lights were a hit. I can't wait to get the photographer pictures back just to relive the dance floor!
Kerem was on point for our wedding. It was a short notice, and he handled it amazingly, we had great communication with him, he was attentive to detail before and during the event, and really understood what we were going for. His info form was great for that purpose. We got compliments on the vibes of our wedding and much of it was thanks to Kerem. It was a great time, highly recommended.
Kerem did a fantastic job at our wedding. We gave him a short playlist of our favorite artists and complete freedom on what to play, he had everyone on the dance floor all night! We also added an impromptu live performance and a song-specific outfit change, he was super flexible and handled it very well, highly recommend.
Any questions?
We absolutely loved Kerem! He made our wedding day so special in every way! He was always open to phone calls to go over everything beforehand and got our wedding playlist down perfectly! All of our guests had the best time on our day because of Kerem. Do yourself a favor and hire him, you won’t regret it!!!!
DJ Kerem helped ensure that both our wedding ceremony and reception went super smoothly!! For a couple that was DIYing a lot of aspects of our wedding, it brought us so much assurance to hire a professional DJ that was willing to share his experience and provide a level of structure to the actual day-of logistics through MCing / general music cues. There is no way our dance floor would have been as packed without Kerem and we highly recommend working with him for your special day.
We loved Kerem! He brought the best vibes to our intimate wedding. Absolutely nailed the brief for cocktail hour/dinner and crushed it on the dance floor! He asked thoughtful questions beforehand and ensured he had all of the important information prior to our big day! Not to mention the fact that he is just plain cool! Highly recommend him for all events, both large and small!
Booking Dj kerem was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. One of our biggest fears for the wedding was no one dancing, and he had every single guest at our wedding on the dance floor most of the night. He listened to us in terms of the kind of music we wanted, he played songs that complemented the playlist we gave him perfectly. He was super nice, engaged, checked in with us a few times during the night and made sure the process was going the way we wanted in terms of song lengths for first dances etc. If you want a dj that actually likes music and can get ppl dancing BOOK HIM
Kerem DJ'ed our wedding and everyone loved it! He was extremely easy to work with and had alot of patience with us as we tried to narrow down and 18 hour playlist to 30 ish songs. I would 100% recommend DJ kerem for any event small or large if you want to have everyone up and dancing away the evening (or day)! He was awesome!
Kerem dj'd my wedding this past Sunday and he truly couldn't have been better! Throughout the planning process, he asked me detailed questions about what music I liked and wanted so that he could deliver a perfect experience for us and our guests. I stressed that I wanted everyone to get involved and that we wanted it to be a party, and that's exactly what it was! A true New Orleans style party. Everything was played perfectly on cue and exactly how I wanted it, and he even MC'd as well. He also came up to my husband and I to introduce himself which I thought was super thoughtful. It is because of him that our wedding day was PERFECT. I can't recommend Kerem enough, and if I ever need a dj in the future, I know who I'm calling!
Kerem killed it! We'd have him play for our wedding all over again and highly recommend him. He knows how to set the vibe for any occasion. Even the New Orleans summer heat couldn't keep us off of his dance floor.
Kerem is an incredible human and DJ! We had a tough time selecting a DJ and feeling comfortable in terms of being in control with the type of music we wanted to be played. We were kind of on the path of a more un traditional celebration. We curated a spotify playlist of a handful of songs that we hoped would set the vibe. KEREM DID AN UNBELIEVABLE JOB WITH PERFECTING THE PLAYLIST FOR OUR SPECIAL DAY!!! Everyone at the party came up to us and said it was the best music they had ever danced to at a wedding. Not only were his song compiling skillz on fire but he was such a genuine, kind, human being. Really made the night so special. Making sure we were happy and not allowing crazy song requests to be made. He was so great. I can't say enough amazing things about him!
Kerem did our wedding in May 2023. He made the reception vibe amazing! No weird songs or microphone take overs, just hit after hit! The owner of our venue, who has been to hundreds of weddings over the years, even said Kerem was one of the best he’s seen.
Our guests continue to tell us that DJ Kerem made our reception amazing! I have a large hispanic family and I requested a mix of latin music along with fun disco/hip hop throwbacks. DJ Kerem delivered with every song and transition. Communication was clear, professional, and prompt during the entire process! I'm so happy we booked him for our wedding, I couldn't recommend him more!
Kerem was amazing!! I have to admit I was nervous about hiring a DJ for our wedding, because we didn't want the typical wedding DJ that plays the same stuff for every couple. We wanted just a really high-energy, fun, cool wedding and Kerem totally understood the vibe we were going after. He kept the entire party on the dance floor the whole night (our one request!). We also last-minute decided we wanted him to DJ our ceremony, which was across town and entirely outdoors at a public park. He immediately said he could make it work, and did! Would hire him again in a heartbeat. The music 100% makes the wedding and I'm so happy we went with Kerem!!
DJ Karem was an outstanding addition to our wedding team! He was a joy to communicate with leading up to the day and he hit all the right vibes we were going for on the day. He made our wedding after party unforgettable. We would highly recommend him!
DJ Kerem was the best part of our wedding. He was easy to communicate with and fun to be around. We gave him a list of our favorite songs and he was able to add some of his own choices that complemented the vibe. We basically stayed on the dance floor for the whole reception.
We hired DJ Kerem for our wedding at Maison Lafitte in Mandeville. We scheduled a zoom and immediately noticed a few albums hung on his walls that we also loved from there we knew we were in perfect hands. We made a playlist of a couple of songs for different moods: dinner, ceremony, dancing etc. and in less than 20 songs he managed to get us to a T. It was so spot on that at one point a friend asked me if I had made the playlist. We danced all night and it was an absolute BLAST. Hire DJ Kerem, he is great.
DJ Kerem created by far the most fun experience I have ever had. Everyone at our wedding could not stop talking about how great the music was, how great the energy was, etc etc, and Kerem facilitated all of that. Outside of the event itself, Kerem was incredibly thoughtful and professional when it came to communicating with us. We were asked to just send in some music that we felt reflected us, so we went with about thirteen songs that we felt represented the many aspects of our life and then five more songs for our first dances, exits, entrances etc etc. With all of this info, DJ Kerem absolutely nailed it. We loved every second of our event and none of that would have been possible without him. Hire him!
DJ Kerem was amazing to work with for our wedding reception. We were originally going to play a self-curated playlist but realized this would not allow us to be as present with our friends/family during the reception. We wanted someone who would be able to "read the room" and DJ Kerem did just that. He looked over our playlist and was able to match the vibe we were looking for. Received multiple compliments from the guests on how great the DJ was. The highlight of the night was when everyone was out on the dance floor for Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody". So. Much. Fun. We highly recommend hiring DJ Kerem for any party!
DJ Kerem was absolutely a dream to work with for our wedding "late night" DJ set. I reached out to him only a few weeks in advance of our wedding, and he was extremely responsive and flexible when it came to coming up with a plan for what I'd envisioned. It was so nice to be able to give him very little direction (i.e. just a playlist of some of our favorite songs) and to let his creative expertise handle the rest. We ended up with an absolute blast of a set from him and it was such a fun cap on our wedding night. Everyone raved about him and he engaged with the crowd just enough (and not too much!). I can't say enough positive things - I was pretty type A / particular when it came to anything wedding planning related, and working with DJ Kerem was just SO EASY. He has a very calm way about ensuring that your dream will be brought to life, and he is a wonderful person to boot. If you're considering hiring him - DO IT!
We booked DJ Kerem on my sister’s recommendation, and he did not disappoint! We kept the evening pretty simple, and it basically ended with a 4 hour dance party that had EVERYONE getting down. 10/10, would book again for any other New Orleans event in a heartbeat. -Michelle and Jeremiah
Kerem was SO much fun. Even my crotchety old dad had an awesome time and couldn’t stop complementing the music. He played a few things we requested and we let him do the rest! Kerem was there well before the event and ready to go. He was super sweet to all of my guests and one even hung out with him the entire time. We were so happy with our experience, that when I got pregnant I asked him to make me a playlist for my labor. YES HE DJ’D MY LABOR! The midwives asked several times “what is this playlist!? I love it!”
Kerem was recommended by a friend of a friend and he really wound up making the dang thing happen. He spent a long time planning the music with my wife, stepped up with improvising and making announcements, etc when necessary, even lent a hand around the venue when we ran into crises. I’ve since booked him for multiple parties in town! I really cannot recommend him enough! You will 100% not regret booking him!
When it came time for me and my wife to choose a DJ, we weren't sure where to turn. A friend recommended Kerem and, boy, are we glad he did. DJ Kerem had the whole party shaking for hours and hours. We requested a bunch of songs and even when my mother-in-law INSISTED on Shania Twain for our first dance, Kerem came through and even mixed it in to the play-list later. To think, we were going to put on a iTunes playlist and call it a day! No way! Thanks again Kerem, you are the best DJ ever!
DJ Kerem was simply great! Very professional, easy to work with, and accommodating. He worked with my wife on picking out the right songs, and he really brought a great dance-y energy to our whole wedding. He also provided some tasteful lighting, which was a nice touch.
