THIS IS THE MOST PHENOMENAL DJ! Don't look any further, you've found the DJ of your event dreams. DJ Zeke had the crowd dancing all night at my wedding, people still talk about it all the time. Zeke really has a talent for music that is unparal...
leled. He can read the crowd, the mood, the environment and have your guests complimenting you on what a great DJ you hired. I am an event planner in NYC and handle a diverse portfolio of clients and events and when I tell you that he is my "go to top notch DJ" for every event, I am not kidding! Zeke and his team are highly professional, they come dressed to nines and are always early to every event. I've never had to ask the dreaded question, "Where is the DJ?" because his team are the first ones there. From corporate environments to weddings, if you want to have an event that people will talk about for years to come then make sure you book Zeke!

ether it's Zeke himself, or anyone on his team, they are a *chef's kiss* GIFT. We go way back to St. John's when Zeke was my Orientation Leader - he was the KING of DJ craftsmanship and hustle back then and has only perfected his vision and business. I knew there was no other DJ for my big day! While I had a summer wedding, Zeke was already booked, but he made sure his team had my back! You fill out a questionnaire and have a zoom meeting discussing the fine details of the big day - and then TRUST - that his team will hold you down. My guests continue TO RAVE on about the emcee, his energy, his authenticity and his empathy! IT WAS LIT. Brother knew it was going to be a Filipino family in the mix and memorized a couple key phrases *CLUTCH* - I can write for days about why you should gift yourself with an amazing team and have the best night of your life. My husband and our families definitely did!

I've known DJ Zeke the college/coporate DJ dynamo for years. This weekend, DJ Zeke the Wedding Entertainment god revealed himself to me. Our wedding ceremony felt regal. Our wedding reception was a MOVIE. I'm talking Oscar worth motion picture ...
perfection. The music hit every conceivable emotional note. The party was everlasting. A college party, staduim concert, credits rolling scene where everyone is turning up to the music atmosphere. The vibes were IMMACULATE! Not only did Zeke have the club... i mean wedding ROCKIN', he also provided us with beautiful entertainment aesthetics. He brings his own sounds system, light system that totally transformed the ambience of our skylight themed reception hall, a fog machine and sparklers for our first dance, and employed a fantastic host, Mike Barber, who put the exclamation mark at the end of the most important day in our lives. My guests have sung the praises of our wedding for days after the event and the kudos aint slowing down anytime soon. Zeke eclipsed our wildest dreams for our special day. If you want your wedding to become the wedding people rave and exclaim about for years, you need to hire DJ ZEKE ASAP! What a time. Thank you DJ Zeke!

What can we say? DJ Zeke and the MC were nothing short of spectacular. They had people on the dance floor from the first dance to the last. My husband and I were concerned that since this was an interracial wedding that not everyone would da...
nce, but we were proven wrong. DJ Zeke played a majority of dancehall and soca music with a sprinkle of edm and the MC made sure that everyone was on the dance floor. My husband is not a dancer and he was out on the floor the entire night. You know it’s a good wedding when people don’t make it to their seats. Well my husband and I only sat for the toasts and dinner. DJ Zeke promised us an unforgettable experience and he certainly delivered. We are extremely grateful to DJ Zeke for making our wedding such an amazing experience. All I can I say if you are planning a wedding book DJ Zeke for an unforgettable experience that will leave your guest in awe!!!!

DJ Zeke was truly the most amazing DJ I could have hired for my wedding! He was suggested by a friend of mine, and I’m so glad we booked him because he made the night so special for me and my husband. The music was so high on my priority list f...
rom the beginning, and Zeke made me feel confident that the music would be on point the entire night. He was open to suggestions to make sure what I want was played, but honestly he didn’t really need it. He effortlessly combined two different cultures of music (hip hop/afro beats + Egyptian music), and I had so many my guests coming up to me at the end of the night telling me how much fun they had on the dance floor. He also was so easy and fun to work with, and I would literally recommend him to anyone planning their wedding.

I’ve know Dj Zeke was going to DJ my wedding for about 11 years. Before I was even engaged , I knew that if I wanted the vibe and energy to be right on our special night, there was no question DJ Zeke would deliver. Bringing my Caribbean family...
in the same room as my wife’s Latin family only meant that the music had to cater to both crowds as well as get them up and out of their seats. Zeke’s professionalism and expertise was valued from the beginning, his team was helpful and punctual , this was one vendor I never lost sleep over. I say this as humbly as possible, our wedding was a movie, and it’s because Zeke was the director. Thank you Zeke for making this night memorable for our guest, but most importantly to my wife and I.

One of the first things I said to my now hubby after we got engaged is that DJ Zeke needs to DJ our wedding. This turned out to be one of the best decisions we made as Zeke did not disappoint! From day one he was very professional, he was able ...
to readily identify the sound and lighting needs for our venue, worked well with our other vendors and we were comfortable to trust him fully with the entertainment for our party. And party we did! He kept the tunes going all night and kept everyone on the dance floor, we were surprised as even friends who never dance were getting it in. DJ Zeke also incorporated our music requests from oldies reggae to a Prince set and he even created a mash up of songs for our father-daughter dance. He paid particular attention to creating the vibe that we said we wanted. We all had an awesome time at our wedding and we would 100% recommend DJ Zeke for yours.

We got married June 11, 2021. With a 90 day planning timeline and a guest list that was constantly changing, it was amazing to not have to manage our music and production through DJ Zeke and his team. From the initial meeting to his worksheets ...
to help us navigate our music and production needs for the ceremony and reception, this team was efficient, timely, and PROACTIVE! Everything was perfect. We had a rooftop ceremony and as you can imagine, the wonderful sounds of NYC were in competition with us and our officiant. Dj Zeke was able to balance the sound to make sure our guests heard us. With a livestream audience, we were so excited to know they didn’t miss a part of the ceremony due to the sound management. Mike and DJ Zeke ran our reception so well guests did not want to leave! The personal touches Mike, the MC, was able to include in his hosting made our guests feel apart of what was happening . We are so grateful for their dedication to excellence.

lective of this and he more than delivered. From our initial consultation, which lasted an hour an a half with us mostly talking about music, our shared Nigerian heritage, and how he and his team have adapted to respond to COVID, his range stood out and his skill at blending across genres was something I hadn't seen with other professionals we spoke to during planning. He's not a Macbook DJ. He watches the crowd and adapts based on the energy in the room and his emcee, Master in Ceremony, is right on point with keeping guests engaged and entertained. These two were a dynamic duo that had the aunties, elders, and youngin's all talking about the time they had at our wedding!!

Words can’t describe how amazing our wedding day turned out because of DJ Zeke! I first heard him dj at a wedding 2 years ago and loved his mixing and vibe. Zeke worked with us in throughout our wedding planning process. He was always available...
to help out and answer any questions. He even went out of his way to scope out our venue prior to the wedding to make sure everything would be perfect. Zeke walked us through customizing our music choices and boy was that helpful! We were unsure in the beginning how our Puerto Rican and Macedonian cultures would mix musically but Zeke was able to transition everything flawlessly. We had both cultures dancing to each other’s music!! I still get chills thinking about our day!! We also decided to have an emcee and photo booth. Michael was hilarious and kept up the energy. He really won over our guests. And Will the photo booth attendant did a phenomenal job making sure everyone had fun in their photos. DJ Zeke entertainment is worth every penny!!!

We initially had a hard time finding a DJ until we found Zeke. Most wedding DJs, in my experience during the wedding prep, ask you the same questions and answer in similar matters. But there was something different about Zeke over the first pho...
ne call and I got connected with him instantly. It felt like he understood what I really wanted for my wedding. I wanted to party like I was back in college on my wedding day with certain types of hiphop and top 40s. Zeke had a full unlimited list of songs in that genre and got everyone to dance, including the adults. Couple friends who know music more than the norm came up to me to compliment what a great job we did on hiring Zeke. I am Korean and it can be hard to get ALL Koreans to get up to the dance floor. That was not the case for Zeke and everyone had a great time because the music was nonstop on point and it was exactly what I wanted. He answers very quickly to all texts/emails and knows how to mix the songs, even k-pop. My parents were not familiar with the American culture of weddings but they absolutely had a blast as well and I know we could not have achieved a successful unforgettable night without Zeke's professionalism, skills, music choices, manners, style and everything. I love him and his work so much I want to find another opportunity to work with him again in the future!
