Wow!!! When looking at reviews for Randy to DJ our wedding I was very impressed with what everyone had to say. He was on the entertainment list at my venue and thought we would give it a shot... we werenot disappointed!! I dont think I could of...

had a better DJ for the most important day of my life! We went with the package that had both ceremony and reception and both were perfect. He answered all my questions extremely fast and delt with all my weird worries and requests. We had so many people complament him and how great everything turned out. We had people dancing all night and the people outside doing other activities still were able to enjoy the great music. He read the croud wonderfully and played things everyone liked. His tips for our officiant and how the ceremony/reception should go were extremely helpful and calmed many nerves. I would tell all my friends, family and even strangers to hire Randy for their wedding or event. You will not be disappointed!

Randy is amazing! He really took the time to get to know us. He was always super responsive to any questions we had. He took the time to coordinate with our venue to make sure his speakers would work with their wireless system. Despite only hav...

ing met us a couple of times, what he said during our wedding ceremony and the vows he wrote for us were so personal and just right for us. We had several guests compliment us on Randy's ceremony was so personal and way better than those they have heard by religious officiants that they thought Randy was one of our close friends. He also kept the party going when it was time for the reception with a great selection of music. He effortless incorporated song requests from our guests and transitioned easily between different genres to ensure all the guests enjoyed the music. Overall, we are so happy that we hired Randy as our officiant and DJ. Thanks again!

I just wanted to take a moment and share what a great experience we had with Randy and his assistant at our wedding and reception. Randy has a style I have never seen before, but very professional and made us think of things we never thought of...

. Randy wants to make sure "you" have the experience you envision, not what everyone else does. Our main goal was to make sure our guest had fun from beginning to end, and they made it happen. Everything was smooth from beginning to end, and I had nothing to worry about at all. Randy helped our officiant, as it was her first time marrying anyone and he guided her during the rehearsal, helped with all of the timing. He has spent a lot of time making sure he does his job well and we would not have wanted anyone else to do our entertainment on our special day. Thank you Randy for everything you did to make our day fun and relaxing at the same time.

Randy truly made my wedding amazing. I had requested a few abnormal songs for wedding dances and the processional, and he delivered. He never let the music go dead, he kept everyone on the dance floor, and honestly his price is a STEAL for ever...

ything he offers. There was no time limit for his services. Additionally, he kept everything running smooth according to my timeline, delivered announcements, and consistently checked in with us throughout our entire wedding planning process to see if he could offer any help or advice outside of his hired duties. I'm speechless at everything he delivered for us the night of our wedding. you NEED him! He also gifted me a really sweet bridal emergency kit for the day of the wedding and it was full of stuff we actually ended up needing!
