He was GREAT!! The music you choose for your ceremony is very particular and intimate and Lou nailed it. At the reception, he got everyone super hyped for the Grand March Everyone...
was on the dance floor dancing all night. He knew which music to play and when and had great energy all night. I changed my mind a few times throughout the wedding planning process and he was patient and understanding through all my crazy.

evening. He played all of our must-plays but also made selections that matched our musical tastes and the momentum of the evening.

I worked with Lou for a short while. He told me he was a Dj but I couldn’t quite see it. Lou was one of, if not the top employee in our office. He did that because he is a master o...
f his craft. When he told me our company was his “second job” I knew he was my go to for our wedding. From the processional, the introduction of the wedding party, playing every single track we wanted and topped it off with perfect extras, it was all literally perfect. I was floored with how special Lou put everything together for OUR day. He has mastered the art 100%. If you want to have the BEST wedding Dj out there, it’s a no brained, thank you Big Lou!!!!!
Lou was a blast DJ for our wedding! He read right into what our guests were into and kept them on the dance floor all night. It's been almost 2 weeks ago and people are still talki...
ng about how much fun they had dancing. We couldn't imagine having anyone else do our music! Also, Lou jumped in when we didn't quite know what to do to direct people to eat and told us when it was a good time to cut the cake. We had no idea on those things so it was also really great to have someone with so much wedding and event experience guide us through the unknown spaces throughout the evening. Thanks for being so awesome Lou!!! - Ann & Nikki T.
Lou was amazing. I haven't stopped hearing about how much fun our DJ was since our big day. The DJ was the vendor I was most nervous about booking, and he made it such an easy and ...
laid back experience. He made sure the dance floor was always full of people and was very receptive to requests and no play songs/artists/genres. His set up was very aesthetically pleasing and did not feel out of place or like an eyesore during our ceremony and turned into party central for the reception. I would 100% recommend him for any of your DJ needs.
Lou did such an amazing job at our wedding! We had guests on the dance floor until midnight and I 100% credit that to Lou! He also interacted with our guests and did a great job wi...

ibly easy vendor to work with, was super responsive and has a seamless process! And his booth/set up was amazing! It was so cool, clean and professional without distracting from the rest of our decor. Lou thought of all the little things for us, answered all our questions, gave great suggestions and made our wedding day perfect! Would absolutely recommend First Choice DJ again and again and again!!!
First Choice DJ (Lou) was amazing to work with. He accommodated all our music selections (even a very specific request) and made everything so easy for my fiancé and I. Everyone wa...

y and stress-free! Everyone was dancing at our wedding! I highly recommend Lou for your next dancing event!
Lou absolutely killed it at our wedding. We didn’t want the typical wedding songs you would usually hear at a wedding...we were looking for something VERY specific. He was incredib...
ly patient and accommodating with me as I sent him probably over 50 songs as sort of a “inspiration list” for him to go off of. I’m so glad I trusted him to do my wedding....he played my favorite songs from my list (didn’t miss a single one) and added a bunch of other music that was exactly on par with what I was looking for. When the dance started, it was just me and my one other friend on the dance floor, after about 15 minutes the floor was full and stayed full the entire night. The night went SO FAST and Lou played probably the biggest role in helping achieve the vibes I was looking for at my reception. He has so much fun while he’s DJing too...and it just adds to the overall feel of the dance - everyone was feeling the music. I highly highly recommend Lou...he knows how to throw a party, he’s kind and fun, he’s accommodating, and goes out of his way to make sure you have the reception you want. Thank you so much Lou!!
Lou was AMAZING! Our original DJ was unable to attend our reception and recommended Lou to us. We were a bit nervous since we were only about four weeks out, but after our first c...
onversation with Lou we knew we were in good hands. He was great to work with right from the start. We really had no idea what we were doing planning the wedding and Lou was great with offering ideas and suggestions for how the reception should run. Now I LOVE to dance so having an awesome DJ that could get people dancing was very important to me! And Lou did not disappoint! He played all of our favorite songs and had us dancing for hours. He was great at reading the crowd in order to figure out what would get people dancing. We had a pretty varied age group from young children to grandparents with a multi-cultural mix and he was able to make it work! He was incredibly professional to deal with from day one and created our fun dance party reception that we wanted :) I would recommend Lou to everyone!
Please choose Lou to DJ your event! He did our wedding, and people kept complimenting us on how he was a "real" dj! He mixes the songs, he chooses wisely, and kept the people danci...
