I can’t say enough about John Hightower! I was fortunate to stumble upon him. I am a 76 year old widow getting married after 15 years! So it wasn’t exactly traditional, but having ...
a musical background, it was extremely important to me to have the music I wanted and for it to be just right! One of the things I love most about John was he actually listened to me and he made suggestions that were perfect. He arrived on time was extremely professional. I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed!

ater. His lights were great for the dancing. As well as the music. When he noticed that we weren’t feeling the music too much he quickly changed it. We were dancing so much that we were so tired the next few days. I’m so happy that I ended up hiring him instead of trying to do it myself. Highly recommend!

I can’t speak more highly of how wonderful of an experience I had with HP Soundcraft. John was the ultimate professional and at the same time was a very friendly, likable DJ. He ...
kept the whole wedding and reception moving along by playing music for each special moment and acting as MC for the event as well. He arrived on time and was set up and ready to go in plenty of time for the beginning of the event. Most helpful to me was how he was so patient with working with me. He talked to me around my schedule even if that meant late night conversations. He didn’t complain when I had to reschedule phone appointments. I’m so happy I chose him for my wedding. You can hire HP Soundcraft and be confident that your event will go off smoothly.

l said and done. You could not have asked for a better, friendly and very professional DJ to have at any event. I will speak highly due to the fact it was well over 100 degrees all day on Saturday and we were outside.
He donated his time and services, longer than scheduled in the Texas Heat on behalf of our 5year old son who has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of Stage 3 Liver Cancer and is still fighting. We can’t thank you and your son for being there. We are forever grateful. Words will never explain the love and support we received on Saturday. It was a pleasure meeting you sir and your son. Much love from our family to yours. Thank you.

I have nothing bad to say about DJ HP. He was incredibly professional, had an AMAZING set up, and kept the party going. I have three older sisters who have been married and it was ...
unanimous that DJ HP was the best hire to date. My relatives and friends even came up to me to say nice things about him. He played the music we asked and kept away the songs we hated. He changed the schedule as needed/requested and had everyone on the dance floor. In my personal opinion, he is far better than any of the big shot Houston DJs. I was actually hesitant to spend money on a DJ in general due to horror stories from friends. However, I would spend the money again and then some for another experience with DJ HP. Truly a gem!

We booked HP Soundcraft last minute since our DJ backed out and he was truly amazing and stepped in. John walked us through the entire night and kept in contact with us through the...
entire planning process. He was set up both inside and outside before I even made it to the venue which was absolutely amazing. He kept everybody on the Dancefloor I don’t think I sat down the entire night! John kept our schedule with the toasts, prayer, and games we chose to incorporate. The music was exactly what we wanted for our day and giving we were very vague he rocked it!
I was told that the DJ can either make or break the wedding but John and HP Soundcraft definitely MADE our wedding! Thank you so much! It was a pleasure working with you!!!

Well it wasn't a wedding I hired him for but a celebration of life service. I was very specific about what songs I wanted played when during the service. John listened asked questi...
ons and made good suggestions about the order of songs I wanted played. We also had singles and he provided the soundtracks. The set up was very professional. Sound was amazing and John was very kind and caring. I would feel very comfortable hiring him for any event. He takes his job very seriously while being a fun and warm personality. I'm a very happy customer.
