Joe is really professional in make conditions between music ( sound ) and the venue so it’s really smoothly. So, for senior guest not too loud. He is kind, communicated and helpful...
. Really fun with him and his partner! We recommend him highly!
Joe was awesome. Punctual with all encounters. During rehearsal he helped us iron out the small details and worked with the officiant to make sure everything went off without a h...
itch. Great announcing during the reception. Sound equipment and music were perfect. The photobooth was a huge hit with my guests and they put a copy of each strip into a photo album which looks awesome. Not to mention you have access to all of the photos through an online account. Total professionals, cannot recommend them enough.
Joe and Paul were amazing throughout our whole wedding planning process! They answered all my questions in a timely manner and are very organized! Our wedding reception was perfect...
and the music was great! They truly brought in an amazing atmosphere and I couldn't be more grateful!
We initially spoke with Joe but ended up having Paul and Cindy do our wedding. Joe, Paul, and Cindy were all wonderful to work with, minus a few issues getting in touch. But the we...
dding itself, Paul and Cindy did a wonderful job and were great at guiding everything along. The lighting and everything was great as well and we're happy we were able to do the dancing outside.
I am so glad we hired Hits DJ for our wedding!
Joe was helpful from the very beginning of the planning process and certainly delivered on the day. He made sure all the cues for o...
ur speeches, cake cutting, games, and announcements ran smoothly, something we hadn’t even thought of.
Due to the great music selection, everyone made it out to the dance floor, although most of our guests are not what you would call the dancing type. Everyone had so much fun, and several guests specifically gave us positive feedback on the DJ. A few even asked for his contact information.
We had high expectations, and they were exceeded. If you are searching for the best in the business, look no further than Hits DJ. I assure you that you will not be disappointed.
Joe was a great guy to work with for our wedding. Our wedding unfortunately was when he was away at his second home, but he had his colleagues Paul and Cindy do the wedding for him...
instead. Joe was still responsive to any questions over email and helped us to design our photo booth strip.
I cannot say enough good things about how smooth our wedding went. Paul was awesome with music flow, announcements, moving along the ceremony, and much more. He came up to my husband and I multiple times to ask when we were ready to do our dance, cake cutting, etc. He was also there for our rehearsal ceremony and was able to guide us to how the ceremony was supposed to flow. I cannot imagine our wedding day without his help. He made it much less stressful and more enjoyable.
Cindy did our photo booth at the wedding and everyone just loved it! She was able to help us fill up more than 3/4 of the photo album book and was very friendly to our guests. She and Paul also provided props at the photo booth so we did not have to worry about supplying them.
Overall I give Hits DJ a 10/10 and would highly recommend them to anyone in the area. 🙂
They were great and I highly recommend them!
I really loved working with Joe Locke. He is very friendly and worked hard to give us everything that we asked for. I didn’t appreciate how the lady running the photo booth spoke t...
o some of our guests. Our guests were drinking and having fun (yes, a little loopy) - and I saw her snap at a few of them over something as simple as budging someone else in line. She also told my 5-year-old niece and flower girl that she had visited the photo booth too many times. We were paying for all of our guests to have unlimited photos and my sweet niece wasn’t doing anything wrong. I would recommend Hits DJ - I just hope that they take this concern to heart. At a wedding, the bride and her family hopes that the vendors are kind to each guest for the whole night.
These people are amazing to work with!
Joe and his team are top notch. We elected to have Joe MC with a DJ running music as well as a photo booth and would absolutely recommend it. The memory book they gave us is incr...
edible ! Joe is a fantastic MC and really kept everything on track and made the night very special. I highly recommend that you go with Hits DJ service! You can’t beat having an experienced professional dive your evening/event! Great value and great service.
Joe Locke is the best! Was super easy to plan our reception. Had everything we needed. Lighting was amazing!! Photo Booth was a HUGE hit with our guests! Super friendly staff and h...
elpful in every way. Answered all our questions quickly and was able to help with our special dances and all special requests.
Our guests have not stopped talking about how much fun they had. Definitely kept the party going!!
Could not have done it with out you.
Thank you Joe!!
Joe Locke from Hits DJ was very helpful through the entire process of wedding planning, especially since we were planning from Houston, TX. He was very flexible in being able to m...
eet with us when we were in town and had awesome communication with us.
At our wedding, Joe did an exceptional job running the sound at our ceremony and made sure everything ran smoothly. Our ceremony was amazing, thankful to Joe. Also, at our reception, he kept things running on time and made us feel like someone was taking care of the timeline. Our dance floor was full the entire night and we LOVED the music variation, and so did our guests!
Working with Joe was a pleasure from start to finish. The planning process was easy (he has a great planning/outline system online) and he was always fast to reply back to any ques...
tions. On the day of, he rolled with a last minute mix up flawlessly. I also appreciate how he brought a DJ so he could be the MC. People enjoyed the music and the photobooth was great too. Thanks Joe and team!
I will always remember that my wedding was great but my DJ and Master of Ceremonies sucked. When I brought up my concerns via private email they made up excuses for their poor serv...
ices and lack of commitment. Please look elsewhere before signing on with this group.
We couldn't have been happier with Joe and his staff. The music was great and the dance floor was filled the entire evening. Everyone enjoyed the photo booth and we loved the alb...
um the bride and groom were given. I have two more daughters and will definitely book Hits DJ
They kept the night running smoothly and the music was exactly what we were looking for! We partied all night thanks to them!
Joe and his son did out lighting as well as our DJ package, and I was very pleased with them. Anything I requested they did! The song planner online helped make it a seamless event...
! I had a large bridal party who wanted to be introduced to individual songs, and it was PERFECT! I wanted a lot of lighting and they did perfect on that as well. When the party music started, there was a packed dance floor all night. I am thrilled with the wedding service and would suggest them to anyone. Joe met with me multiple times and kept in touch with me about my needs and wants. EXCELLENT SERVICE
John and his son were absolutely amazing. I had no idea they would essentially be day of coordinators for our ceremony and reception. They kept everything moving and on schedule....
Our guests had a fabulous time due in large part to the great vibe John kept throughout our reception. John was very good about keeping myself and my husband in the loop to everything that was going on so we could make decisions as necessary. I would highly recommend Hits DJ (John Locke) to anyone!
My husband was in charge of the DJ and he chose Joe Locke. I could not have been any happier with his selection. Joe made everything easy when planning and met with us a few times ...
to review the agenda. He and his son kept the party going until it was time to leave the venue. I would recommend him to anyone who is in search of a wedding dj!!!!!!
We also had out Photo Booth thru them and the setup was perfect and the photos are hilarious!!
