Joe exceeded any and all expectations! Not only was he timely, organized, and professional but he helped out wherever he could, always asked if we needed anything, and even brought out a drone for one part of the reception! I would highly recommend our guests had the best time and the music was amazing!!

Joe was incredible for me and my wife’s special day. He’s very detailed, prepared, brings tons of energy and he listened to us more importantly. Plenty of people came up to us after speaking HIGHLY of Joe and how great he was.
If you’re having a special day and looking for a DJ that will listen and do a great job, Joe is your guy!

Let me start by saying Joseph is an amazing guy. He definitely knows what his craft, the whole process of weddings and provides fantastic ideas to help navigate things. Throughout the whole process leading up to our wedding, Joseph was the most accommodating person and was very professional and just a joy to be around. If you are looking for a DJ that is guest oriented, has fantastic people skills, a great leader, and actively helps to make sure your wedding goes as planned, then this is your guy. My wife and I have no complaints whatsoever and we were very surprised with how much this man worked to help us make our wedding happen in the way we envisioned it. I cannot say enough with how happy we were to have him at our wedding. 100/10 rating.
You definitely will not regret choosing him as your DJ.

Joseph was absolutely amazing!! Blew our expectations out of the water. He is very professional and takes his job very seriously. Joseph prepared all the preparations needed with us over zoom and was super helpful when we did not know what to do. He ran our wedding so smoothly and was the hero of the night when the POWER WENT OUT!!! Joseph had a backup speaker ready that he could use wirelessly and with battery! Man did he do a great job with the music, everyone was dancing and I mean EVERYONE!! He had my Dad dancing, whom I have never seen dance ever before. He accommodated all our music tastes and ran the floor seamlessly with all the speeches and ad-libbing that was necessary. I would HIGHLY recommend DJ Filipow to all couples who are looking for a DJ.

Joe was absolutely fantastic as the DJ at our wedding! From the very start, he was helpful and informative, making sure everything was well-planned leading up to the big day. His energy was incredible, and he kept the party going all night! We kept receiving compliments about him from our guests throughout the evening. Not only did he play the perfect mix of music to keep everyone on the dance floor, but he also took the lead on some group dances, which made the evening even more fun. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Highly recommend Joe if you're looking for someone who will make your event unforgettable!

Joe is not just a DJ! He truly was a key part of our big day and my husband and I cannot thank him enough for his professionalism and organization. The final touches of the wedding can be daunting and Joe made selecting music as seamless and easy as possible. Speaking of seamless, he made our ceremony and reception run perfectly. He is conscious of timing and kept an eye on us all night to ensure we were having fun and happy with the flow. If you are looking for someone to just play music, he is not the right person for you. If you want a professional that will go above and beyond as an emcee, Joe is the guy for you.
We cant thank him enough for helping our special day go sooo perfectly!

I wish there was a rating higher than 5!! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! So professional and arrived early! He did more than what we asked of him, he checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed, food/drink literally anything. He carried our food to our table to make sure nothing was spilt. He had great energy the whole wedding! I would recommend Filipow music to anyone looking for a DJ! Thank you for making our day run smoothly! -Sarah and Luther

Joe was the absolute best DJ we could have ever asked for on our wedding day! He is extremely professional and takes time before the big day to ensure everything is perfect. On the day, he went above and beyond - making adjustments on the fly, checking on us, and even carrying our dinner plates so to not spill on ourselves. He made our day run so smoothly and played the tunes to get the people dancing. Highly recommend booking Joe for your stress free wedding!

It was wonderful to go into an important day without having to worry about that the music going off without a hitch. He not only kept the party going all night but was also the best MC. Our guests said he was one of the best wedding DJ’s they have seen.

Filipow was the best DJ my wife and I could have ask for. We were both very unsure about the music that we should play during our reception and he did an amazing job to help remove all of that confusion to give us lots of confidence going into our wedding day. It's easy to tell he has lots of experience and can easily read the mood of the dance floor throughout the night. He is very professional and went out of his way to make sure all was perfect. I would definitely recommend.

We’re 100% satisfied with Filipow Music DJ services. All of our audio needs for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were perfectly covered. And their preparation process for planning a wedding reception was seamless and thorough. Our DJ, Darnell, is an absolute professional and a gifted entertainer. The guests had an amazing time! Our wedding was our best day of our lives and Filipow Music DJ services played a big part in that. We highly recommend them!

It was such a pleasure working with Joe. At first I wasn't sure as he was outside what we were looking for, but after speaking with him, it was clear that he was the right choice.
We were throwing a 50th wedding anniversary party for our parents who are Indian, and we needed a DJ that was meticulous, clear, professional, open to a new culture and could help us navigate through the event. Joe not only helped us with everything but he was warm, understanding and just a joy to work with.
The biggest part was he did an amazing job DJ'ing for an entire different culture and different music- outside of American music. He did this all with a smile, we just provided him the music and he did everything from there. I must say he was also gentle with the guests who needed some help with their performances especially one younger ones.
He was so thorough with everything and reviewed the run of the show multiple times to make sure he had everything correct. If I had to do another event I would hire him in a heart beat. Thank you Joe for really providing us an exceptional evening through the storms :)

Joe and Darnell from Filipow Music did a fantastic job with our wedding. We met several times prior to our wedding and they were very meticulous in keeping track of all the details and preferences we needed from them as DJ. When our wedding day came Darnell did an excellent job making sure the music and audio for our outdoor ceremony went smoothly. For the reception he also did a good job with the music for dinner and playing the right music, at the right time, for each aspect of the reception. He even got involved and taught everyone the cupid shuffle, which everyone at the wedding loved! With all the details and different aspects and potential points of failure it is pretty incredible (that as far as I know) there were no issues, which speaks highly of his professionalism. Lastly, I will say both Darnell and Joe are extremely kind and hard working, it was a pleasure working with them and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality, reliable, and fun DJ!
