We hired DJ Spex for our wedding reception and we could not have made a better decision. Our wedding was weeks ago and my wife and I are still receiving compliments from our guests...
on the music - it was easily one of the best parts about our entire wedding weekend. My wife and I are quite particular about music, and it was one of the most important priorities for our wedding reception. We have been to countless weddings with cookie cutter DJs, and we had a very specific vision in mind when looking for our own. Luckily we found DJ Spex while he was performing a New Year's set at our local bar, and lucky for us he agreed to do our wedding. Throughout the planning process he was incredibly accommodating and professional, catering to our every request no matter how specific. He made sure we were all on the same page, taking time to do multiple consult calls with us leading up to the big day to ensure he delivered exactly what we were looking for. On the day of our reception he was prepared, arriving early to set up, and delivered a killer DJ set that matched the vibe we were looking for perfectly. The energy was immaculate and guests of all ages were dancing the entire night. I would highly encourage you to catch one of his local sets and see for yourself if you're interested in booking him for your wedding. Services provided for us: - DJ sets for cocktail hour/dinner and dancing - Emceeing throughout reception including keeping us on schedule for wedding party toasts and first dance - Venue uplighting around the dance floor - Multiple consults during planning and leading up to the wedding to ensure everything we asked for was delivered

The entire process was so smooth and simple. We met twice before the wedding to discuss the flow of the day, what songs we were thinking of playing and when, and to just get organi...
zed on the logistics. This made the actual wedding day so easy, and it was perfect. Everything we discussed and asked for happened, even better than anticipated. Spex was thoughtful, professional, cared a lot about making this special for us, and he was independent in that we didn’t have to help him logistically at the venue. He was proactive in making sure he could get set up, meet with the venue ahead of time, fill out all necessary paperwork/insurance. Now, the best part, and this was CRITICAL for us: Spex didn’t play any song too long, and in fact, he caught the best parts of our favorite songs. This kept the dance floor ACTIVE, and fun. I can’t stand when a wedding DJ just stands up there and has a playlist running. Spex was a true DJ, mixing songs in a fun, customized (yes I did have ideas on which songs to mix), and unique way. It was seriously so much fun. Every wedding I’ve been to since makes me notice the DJs style. I’ve yet to experience the music like we had. Nobody wants to listen to the chorus 5 times through! But Spex is a professional DJ, and he is very skilled at keeping the crowd engaged and energetic. All the equipment worked perfectly, no hiccups, the mics, everything. Having Spex there was absolutely a highlight of our entire wedding. We are incredibly thankful to have worked with Spex. I can’t forget that he is also just a great human, a great friend, and a very personable, relational guy. He’s a true joy to be around. 10/10 recommend him for any wedding of any size, especially if you want to have the most amazing, personal, energetic, and authentic wedding. I know we did!
