Ki was an amazing wedding DJ! He was super communicative and ensured he had a comprehensive idea of what we wanted played at our wedding and MC’d like a PRO! He was so understandin...
g and flexible when there were possible schedule changes on the horizon with my husband being military and was completely ready to reschedule if we needed (which we didn’t, thankfully)! I would recommend him to anyone who needs a DJ!

Unbelievably awesome wedding DJ! We did not want standard wedding music or tradition and had a few playlists. DJ Ki mixed up the songs so well and was an absolute blast to party wi...
th! The music was the only part of my wedding I was uptight about, and he nailed it from music to vibes. Unlike most wedding DJs who have been doing the same old traditional thing for years (I would have thrown up if I'd heard the Electric Slide), I felt like he actually listened to us and worked hard to deliver. HIRE DJ KI for your wedding! He's the GOAT.

DJ Ki was a blast to work with from start to finish, which is really saying something considering we had to hire him just a few weeks before the wedding! Our original DJ went out o...
f business, which left my partner and I scrambling for alternatives. Kimani replied to my inquiry within an hour, and met with us after 2 days, walking through the "vibe" of the wedding, and delivered perfectly. Not only that, when the reception happened and an un-expected guest tried to made a very un-accepted request to the music line-up and toast, DJ Ki had the wherewithall to surreptitiously decline this person (and then immediately checked in with us). Dj Ki was precisely the right person to hire for our wedding reception, and I hope you'll consider him in the future yourself.

DJ Ki is everything you could want in someone for your party, wedding, or any celebration. We sent Ki a list of songs that mattered to me and my wife, and he delivered on everythin...
g we wanted played. He was receptive to request I had, helped make announcements about food, photos, and cake cutting. At the end of our one-year wedding anniversary party, I was overwhelmed with the amount of compliments I got about the music, vibes, and positive energy Ki created. Multiple times, I heard from family and friends, " If I ever need a DJ, I want him to do it." We have a different party we are having in California at the beginning of August, and my only wish is that DJ Ki was also in California to host that party as well! I truly cannot say how lucky we were to find a DJ like Ki, who made us feel like we could focus on running and having a party, while the music played perfectly the whole night. Lastly, the man knows how to keep the dance floor alive and well, which is everything you need in a DJ. Thank you again for everything, DJ Ki!

DJ Ki was absolutely awesome at our wedding! He did so much to add to the special day, and I can't imagine if we didn't have his service! There are so many things he did to intenti...
onally meet our needs, but here are some of the things that stood out to me and my wife:
1. Communication. DJ Ki made an intentional effort to over-communicate for the sake of clarity and concision. He asked helpful questions, and was incredibly easy to interact with over email. On our wedding day, he made himself very available for our day-of coordinator and ensured clear lines of communication throughout the whole process
2. Thoughtfulness. DJ Ki partnered with us and shared in our excitement for marriage right from the start. He was able to meet every need in human ways, and always sought to help us get the best experience possible.
3. Fun. DJ Ki went above and beyond for us to help create an atmosphere of fun in multiple ways. He spiced up the dancefloor with good vibes, expertly led the guests through transitions, and made himself available for song requests and fun interactions. At your wedding, the goal is to have a DJ who can read the room and set the temperature when things need to match the bride and groom’s desires. We wanted a fun and lively atmosphere, and DJ Ki delivered!
You can’t go wrong with DJ Ki! If you’re looking for a talented DJ with experience who will make your wedding day 10x smoother and fun, go for Kimani!

One of the best decisions I made was going with DJ Ki!!! We originally had another DJ, but my gut told me it wasn’t the right fit. A week before the wedding, I reached out to DJ Ki...
, and immediately felt a sense of ease. He was incredibly organized, had everything together, and was super affordable.
Fast forward to the wedding—he was absolutely amazing! He brought the best vibe, and all my guests kept coming up to me saying how incredible he was. It wasn’t just his talent; his personality blended perfectly with my entire wedding party.
If I could hang out with him and his amazing assistant every weekend, I would! I feel so lucky to have had him be a part of our special day. If you’re looking for someone truly special, DJ Ki is your person—don’t look any further!!

My partner and I got sooo lucky when finding DJ Ki. We are in the entertainment industry and work throughout Seattles Club scene. So when getting married we were a little worried o...
f the quality of sound and energy around our reception because our friends and family are ...yes incredible... but also artist in arts, music, and overall creatives so very sensitive to quality. Dj Ki was pure quality. The sound was impeccable, his voice and vibe while MC'ing our wedding couldn't have been more perfect, and he was just so kind. He was flexible and on point when working with our music taste.. from Sade, to Rufus Du Sol, to Otis Redding, Willie Nelson and Robyn. It was so fun going through our favorites with him because you can tell this man enjoys his music.. we found out he is also an extensive vinyl collector which just made so much sense for his deep understanding of music and all genres. He was great with time, we heard great things from our wedding planner about how he was flexible in setting up for production, but he also truly just set the tone for our day. We couldn't recommend Kimani enough. Looking forward to more parties to bring this mans energy around. Dj Ki was the water rolling off a ducks back.

oving from the cocktail hour space to the dance floor space. He was early to the venue to set up and make sure everything was in place. He communicated frequently before and up to the event day. Everyone commented later about how awesome he was and that the vibe was so fun and engaging. I recommend Kimani for your event 1000%! You won’t regret it!

I recently celebrated a new chapter in my life (bye bye 20’s👋🏻) and a friend of mine had recommended DJ Ki for my party after hiring him for their wedding I had gone to. I didn’t...
want to be in charge of the playlist all night and had already got a glimpse of his professionalism before, so I figured why not! He was very accommodating while taking all of my notes into consideration for what vibe I was aiming for and went beyond my expectations. Many, many thanks again Kimani for bringing life to my party with your kind soul and great music (and for my new playlist😉) if you’re thinking of hiring a DJ for any occasion, please do not hesitate to reach out to him, I promise you can’t go wrong!
