Instant Request DJ Entertainment & Lighting

s fantastic. From cocktail hour to dinner to the dance floor, he nailed the music, and even included some great Spanish/reggaeton music for the groom's side. We loved Sean and Instant Request DJ was easy to work with. We were pleasantly surprised with the price given the great value.

our music, share our preferences, and organize all of the details ahead of time, so we felt confident everything would come together on the wedding day. Erin did an amazing job keeping everything running smoothly, reading the room, and keeping the dance floor full all night. We received so many compliments on the music, and everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend Instant Request and DJ Erin!

experience and atmosphere he provided with his expertise! He was very kind and easy to work with. Damani read the crowd very well, and played all the right music at appropriate times. He was also great at crowd work and getting attendees involved and having fun.  My wife and I would recommend Damani and Instant Request to any newly engaged couples looking for an affordable price for a great wedding experience!

me .

people were so complimentary. He was easy to work with and a joy to have at our big day!

h our DJ Kalli were incredibly positive! Kalli followed our playlist and ceremony music skillfully, and managed the evening masterfully. Kalli was matched with us after talking with Matt from Instant Request about our vision for the night, and about our own backgrounds and the general demographics of our event attendees. We really feel as if the night could not have gone more smoothly. Everyone commented on the music, the DJ's enthusiasm, and general energy in the room - especially as the dance portion of the night got under way. I highly recommend Instant Request and would use them again without hesitation!

e floor moving. If you’re looking for a DJ who really listens and knows how to read the room, we highly recommend him!

minor changes. Even helped prank my dad with or father daughter dance! She kept the dance floor occupied all night and was so supportive and had such a good energy. Would hire again- especially if Tate was our DJ!

, knew where to be and when, did a good job communicating day of, and professionally set up equipment both for our ceremony (although we only needed a mic and one speaker) and for the reception. Where things fell short were: 1) for our introduction to the reception "for the first time as a married couple" he called me (groom) by the wrong name, he used the name of our photographer, Eric, which doesn't come close to my name. 2) Admittedly, we had a long "must play" list for the dance floor after dinner, about 50 songs. But we had noted many of them (40-45) didn't need to be played in full, maybe 2 minutes each on average or so. We had 2 prep calls with DJ Damani and had sent a spreadsheet over with our list before the second call, and he did not mention at any point that playing all of them would be an issue. He ended up missing about 20 songs/40% of our list in total. He did however have time to play about 35 songs that were not on our list, so he certainly had the time to play them. they were not obscure songs either, like "Family Affair" by Mary J. Blige, "Golden" by HUNTR/X, and "Friends in low places" by Garth Brooks among others. The songs he did play were enjoyable, and a lot of common/popular songs which was good. But it also felt lazy as if it were chunks of playlists he had created in the past, and didn't want to do the work to put together our specific requests. 3) on one of our preparation calls, he asked us to text him important details like the specialty dances and first dance, and order of events. It felt unprofessional at best, but what was more frustrating is the about 5 hours we had to put into communicating all these details into a complicated and antiquated website. So we had to do about double the work, once well in advance of the wedding but then a second time with about a week and a half left before our wedding date. Not the best time to waste time 4) he played our final song twice. We had discussed a plan that we'd like to end the night with a specific slow song, but as its wrapping up, cut it off and say something like "this is the real last song for the party", and play a faster tempo, good dancing, fun end of the night song. He did do a great job of executing this, but he played the song we requested as final in the later-middle of the night. Given he left songs off our must play it would've been nice not to waste a song, duplicating a song really isn't fun anyway, and we were left thinking he just wasn't going to play our final song as requested for a while. Ultimately he did, but just a weird note to the night. 5) we didn't leave a tip and the manager at Instant Request, Mitch, did say he appreciated the honesty of that, but otherwise I would have thought this would be grounds for a partial refund. We had a January wedding, offseason, so it was indicated to us we would bet getting assigned a pretty good DJ. In fairness it wasn't overly expensive, about $1,200, but felt like some of these mistakes were so unprofessional that it would be fair to do more than an apology email (from Mitch the manager, not from the actual DJ Damani).

on the day of. We were lucky to get DJ Rick to DJ on our wedding day, and he was great! I think instant request and DJ Rick were incredible!

cate with, flexible with an ever changing schedule, and was seriously the life of the party! She made our dance party SO much fun and truly exceeded my expectations. I could not recommend Kalli more!

and made sure to capture all the necessary details of the day to make things run smoothly. We would recommend Instant Request to anyone!

tion, he read the room perfectly and adjusted the dance playlist based on what our guests were loving or requesting, which kept the dance floor full all night. We had such a great time and couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Highly recommend!

ur experience and Instant Request’s questionnaire was thorough and it allows you to make sure your event is just how you want it to be. Their system for pairing you up with your DJ worked really well for us, and we couldn’t be happier with our assigned DJ. Communication with Instant Request’s was a breeze. My husband and I were highly satisfied with their service.

tead. Auctavius was FANTASTIC. He read the room, catered to the few kids we had at our wedding in a way that everyone else enjoyed the songs too, and kept the vibe going the whole party. We had a phone call with him before the wedding where he asked lots of great questions and got us thinking about a few things we hadn't before. There were a few instances where we didn't have a chosen song or timing and told him we would trust his judgement, and I honestly can't remember what those were because they were so seamless and perfect. I will recommend Auctavius to any and everyone.

what we wanted for the dance. Our wedding included different ethnic songs, and it was easy to collaborate on what would be best for the flow of the dance. Outside of his great song selections, the one thing we appreciated most was that we could trust him. We did not have to "worry" about the flow, the songs that would be played, etc. (on the day of) because we truly trusted him to use his God-given talent to engage the guests and have a successful dance. It felt so reassuring to go into the wedding day with that trust! I would hire DJ Jimmy for any event where you want to get the guests up, moving, and dancing.

d a natural flow through the night. Many times our guests came up to us during the dancing and said “Your DJ can’t miss!” Our other vendors even passed along appreciation for his proactive communication and professionalism. We could not be happier with the service!

te to fill out which was so helpful to make sure no part of planning the day was forgetton! We were lucky enough to be paired with Erin for our wedding day, and she was such a wonderful addition to our wedding day team! She was punctual, well prepared, and helped our day run smoothly! She communicated with our photographer to make sure things stayed on time, and made the requested announcements to guests to make sure everyone know what was going on. Erin perfectly played our music requests for the ceremony, social hour, and dinner, and kept the dance floor alive during the reception! Her dance music was a perfect blend of requests, must play songs, and intuitively choosing songs our crowd liked! We are thrilled we had Erin as our DJ and would recommend her to anyone!

ct quick to respond and matched us with a DJ, Danny, he was great. Our venue had some more specific sound needs we were nervous about and he was proactive finding a solution and followed up with us on the game plan. They did the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and sound. 

DJ and he was PHENOMENAL!! We got so many compliments from guests on how great he was and how much fun they had. Thank you Instant Request and Jimmy for being great!

Our DJ made announcements throughout the night which was great! There was a phone consultation a few weeks before the wedding where we were about to talk to our DJ and walk through the day with him. Highly recommend!!

g fun through the evening! They were very responsive to ensure they had all our details correct for the special day, and their online portal is a GREAT tool to provide the DJ team with every detail. We would recommend Instant Request DJ Entertainment & Lighting for your special event!

of and quick to reply to any of my questions along the planning process. My day of DJ was Kalli and she was nothing short of amazing! She was able to read the vibes of the dance and switch anything up at a moments notice to keep up the fun vibes of the party! I would recommend Instant Request and DJ Kalli to anyone wanting a professional and amazing DJ experience !

g things as well. We were assigned Erin as our DJ and she was SO sweet. We also gave her a lot of freedom with our playlist and she crushed it! Multiple guests told us our "playlist was bangin" or that they had 'never seen a dance floor stay as full as our was' for the duration of the night. The lower price than other DJ services we talked with was also a selling point for us. We would absolutely recommend!

be in terms of the music we wanted and did a great job keeping the dance floor full! People are still saying the dance floor was a hit!

k out of song choice. Their music library is huge! We were able to find all of our song choices and even some extra ones.

Henry as our DJ. Henry was AMAZING!!!!

essional, and answered all of our questions. We also had live musicians at our ceremony and our DJ was extremely well prepared to accommodate them and all our other sound needs. We were paired with DJ Kalli who was absolutely phenomenal! On the day of, she was extremely punctual, helpful, and friendly while also really contributing to the energetic and fun atmosphere of our reception. She was able to adjust plans as needed and overall exceeded all our expectations. We would highly recommend Instant Request DJ to anyone!!

ch is fantastic. The online planner tool they have is really slick and user friendly. We didn’t book the black tie package so 3 weeks before our wedding we were going to get a DJ assigned to us and that time came but I had to reach out to find out who we had. We worked with JJ and he was so professional and really experienced with weddings. Played a lot of great songs and our guests loved the party.

were paired with DJ Rick and he was a perfect fit for our wedding. He did the music for the ceremony and timed things beautifully. At the reception he did a great job at pulling together songs from our playlist, requests and adding in great songs we hadn't thought of. We would definitely recommend Instant Request and DJ Rick to anyone!

approachable! I would highly recommend!

. He was right there the whole time and was incredibly thoughtful. I am beyond thankful we booked him.

en more memorable!

work with and allowed us to find the right level of customizing the music on our day vs. allowing the DJ to do his thing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

the songs we requested. The dance floor stayed packed all night up until the last dance. I would highly recommend!

backing tracks, and it all went so smoothly, and they made sure to bring an extra microphone to accommodate us. Our DJ Sergio was so great, he did a wonderful job starting up the party and choosing songs that fit us during the reception! Overall, they were very responsive during our planning process, and the night went perfectly. Couldn't recommend more!
