ng up to your event making the day of a breeze. He kept the party going all night and we got so many compliments on how great the music was! The dance floor was not empty or quiet for a moment. There were a couple curveballs thrown his way such as weather and last minute music changes and he rolled with it. Thank you so much Chris for making our wedding great! Looking forward to recommending you to all of our friends when they look for a DJ for their weddings!

The day of, he showed up on time (early actually!) and was ready to go well ahead of our ceremony and reception. During the reception, he had a great playlist of music and listened to our requests.
