Working with John was an absolute breeze! He responded right away every time, was very clear, and listened to what we wanted...not what everyone else wanted so that the day ran perfectly. In addition, he provided support for the rest of the plannjng process - using his experiences to bring up minute details that we hadn't thought about yet. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!
First of all, John was more than half the price than other DJs I looked at and came an hour before my ceremony started to set up free of cost! John answered all my emails within the day and sometimes within the hour of me sending them which is so helpful as a bride needing to figure things out to plan accordingly. Furthermore, John made me feel at ease about all the music and I was not worried about it at all for the day of the wedding. He went over the whole day in detail with me and sent me small clips of any special songs I wanted to make sure they were all correct.
On the wedding day John arrived an hour early, set up a ceremony spot and reception spot, and did sound checks with the musician all without me even knowing. John helped make sure we followed the timeline and got everything done on time. John also brought my husband and I food and drinks while we were taking pictures before dinner. John went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that the day went perfectly.
Thank you John!!!
John was amazing to work with! He was so friendly and responsive during the whole process which helps put a stressed out bride at ease. His prices were also amazing. He was more than half of the cost of other DJs I contacted. During the reception he even came up to the head table to ask if anyone needed any drinks which was so sweet and thoughtful! He also executed the music perfectly! The dance floor was hopping! If you need a DJ, look no further John is your guy!
John had very good communication and was very thorough during the process leading up to our big day. Our wedding was a very hot, outdoors, and in a non air conditioned barn. He went above and beyond by providing with us brides with personal fans and sweat towels (much needed and appreciated). John was very prompt and helpful in keeping the day on track. The only improvements we would suggest from him is a larger presence behind the dj booth during the “open dance floor” time and to be louder for the announcements (our venue was open and spread out).
His experience and knowledge is definitely a trusted source, you won’t be disappointed.
We booked John to DJ our September wedding. John went above and beyond your typical DJ services. He was wonderful to work with and incredibly helpful. Not only did he make sure that the music was perfect for my ceremony/reception, but he offered additional help wherever needed. For example, he refilled my drink when empty, carried my plate of food back to the table for me, and even provided individual fans to help keep us cool at the head table (it was quite a warm day). He even got a photo of us during our private last dance (he was actually the only one around who did) and sent it to us after the wedding. If you are contemplating booking John for any type of DJ services, DO IT!
John was the most responsive person I have ever worked with. Not just for our wedding, ever. He was so professional and kind throughout the process. When I asked him at the end of the wedding night if there was anything we could do to help support his business he said leave a review because he hopes his grandkids can look at them one day and know he was an honest hard working man.
We hired John through the great reviews from The Knot. He was amazing! Professional, easy to work with, adjusted easily to requests and requested announcements that we forgot to communicate to him, and went above and beyond. The wedding was at a barn and it was hot. He brought individual fans that he had charged up for each member of the wedding party. Incredibly thoughtful.
John was absolutely incredible! He was professional, quick to respond, rolled with the punches when things changed, and went above and beyond for what we hired him to do. You are truly getting a bargain for everything he does. We would hire John again and again. Definitely recommending him to everyone we know!
-Daniel and Julia
John was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. He was quick to respond and always provided great insight. Plus, he put my husband and I first for our reception. His knowledge was so helpful and made the day incredibly smooth! Could not say enough good things about John!!
John was everything we could have asked for in a DJ and then some. He was the most prompt of any of our vendors - responding within minutes usually. He thought of everything and was super flexible and easy to work with. Our dance floor was packed the entire time - he did an awesome job playing all the right songs and he ensured he had the right music for our special songs. He also ensured that on the day of the wedding, he never rushed us but stood waiting at the ready for whenever we were ready to do the next thing. The value for his services is incredible too. He even got us drinks from the bar so we didn't have to! He is the best! I cannot recommend him enough!
John was an absolutely amazing DJ! He was incredibly quick with replies, was very detailed in getting to know us and what we wanted, and took his time making sure everything was perfect for us. He took it upon himself to check in with our officiant and bridal party before our ceremony to make sure everyone was set, which was one less thing for us to try to coordinate, and checked in frequently throughout the night. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a DJ!
We cannot thank John enough for making our wedding an absolute dream! From start to finish, his dedication was unparalleled. We put together a list of songs that we wanted with a few special adds for special dances, John not only sent us clips to ensure it was the correct version that we wanted but also sent us an MP4 to listen to that he had edited for a special mother and daughter dance.
John’s talent and ability to read the room got everyone on their feet, and his interaction with guests added an incredible energy to the night. What truly stood out was his unexpected kindness in providing wedding coordinator services without being asked.
Additionally, his thoughtful gesture of providing accessories like mini-fans for each bridal party member was a delightful touch. On top of it all, he even took a few photos on the side, capturing moments we’ll treasure forever. With his wealth of experience, it’s astonishing that he remains so modestly priced. A true professional who went above and beyond—we’re forever grateful for making our day unforgettable!
If you’re looking for a truly amazing DJ and human being, John is your guy!!
John is a very professional DJ with so much more! I don't think our wedding day could have gone any more smoothly and that goes a large part to him. He helped coordinate every transition and event we had planned seamlessly, his experience and was soo much fun to work with. I would not have wanted anyone else for our special evening! Thank you so much!
John helped make our day special with music that got everyone dancing and enjoying! He was also so so helpful in organizing the event. Thanks John!
John went above and beyond for our wedding 7/15/23 at Hidden Vineyard. Throughout the entire planning process he was attentive and gave excellent advice on planning and music. He was careful to ensure all of our suggested songs were correct before adding them to his playlist, was very accommodating to changes we made, and overall made the planning process so much easier. On the wedding day EVERYTHING went off without a hitch and we couldn't have done it without John. It was 90+ degrees and he even brought mini fans for the bride + groom and some of our older guests :)
I cannot recommend John enough! If you're unsure, just go for it. You won't regret your decision!
- Summer & Sam
This is a DJ who will not only provide the music but fetch you cold drinks after your 90-degree outdoor ceremony!! John was absolutely wonderful and went out of his way to cater to our special requests. We chose to have a friend play guitar during our ceremony, and John was completely flexible about only covering reception music. We had a small wedding (approx. 70) but John kept everyone out on the dance floor. He understood our musical style perfectly (we both swing dance, and it was a big part of our wedding) and knew how to mix in our requests at the right moments. Our guests, young and old, had the time of their life. He made sure to get the correct version of our first dance song, even though it was by a lesser-known artist. He even mashed together two songs to create a special dance for my dad and I. He also went along with a few novel ideals, including a unique anniversary dance game. We really appreciated that he was open to our suggestions and let us get creative with how the night went. Most importantly, he sent us files ahead of time so that we knew the songs would sound perfect. He's great at getting back to you through email or phone. Highly, highly recommend.
Made our wedding a great night!
John provided an exceptional experience, going above and beyond our expectations. Not only did he provide a wonderful DJ service by playing requested songs, but he kept our evening itinerary moving. As Bride and Groom, our focus was on greeting and conversing with guests. John kept us on task and provided the little extras that we weren't expecting. For example, he helped the decorators with last minute details, carried our salads to our table for us, provided small fans at our table when it became quite warm with the evening sun blasting through the windows, helped keep order by sending our guests table to by table through the buffet line, announced our blessing giver, toast giver, cupcake baker, and helped us gather groups for pictures. Honoring our request to play the ND and NE fight songs was another highlight. Many of our guests commented on his services and pleasant personality. We only have wonderful things to say about John. He did a tremendous job at our wedding reception and we highly recommend him.
John did an exceptional job at our wedding in Jan. 2023. He was very thorough with his questionnaire leading up to our wedding and answered all of our questions. He helped guide us with his expertise when we were planning, as well as during the ceremony with timing everyone to walk in/organize everything. John even went above and beyond to make sure both my husband and I had drinks ready for us when we walked into the reception and tissues at our table!! He made sure everyone was dancing and his song selection for the night was top notch! He even made sure to encourage everyone to sign our guest book and hit the photo booth! John was absolutely wonderful to work with and we'd recommend him to everyone! If we could give him more than five stars, we would! Thank you, John, for everything you did at our wedding!!
John over exceeded our expectations for our DJ. Durning the wedding planning process, he was always quick to respond to emails and provided insight if we had any questions. Not only was he on top of the music the day of the wedding, but he made sure we stuck to a timeline. John is very nice and professional I would recommend him to anyone, as we had a great experience, his price was fair, and he cares about his job and your day! Other friends/family also recognized how great of a job he did as well!
John was an amazing DJ for our wedding. Thorough communication with John began immediately after booking him. He would send reminder emails of when important things were due. John did a great job setting up music for our beach wedding and making sure our officiant had a microphone so we all could be heard. John has a huge catalog of music to choose from and also sends out the most requested and popular playlists if you're looking for help. During our reception, John kept me and my husband up to date when the dinner service was running late. He did a great job helping to organize our table dash photos. He sent clips to make sure all of our important songs were the correct versions. We sent a full playlist for our reception and John stuck to our requests. We let John choose the song for our last days at the reception and it was the perfect selection. He had everyone at the reception on the dance floor circled around my husband and me, dancing and singing. I would 100% recommend John for your event. Not only was his work impeccable, his prices were great compared to other DJ services that we found. John was a very large part in making our day go flawless and stress free. We are so happy we chose John to be a huge part of our big day.
John was by far my easiest vendor. Always got back to me right away and answered questions I didn't even know I had. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing a DJ!
John has been incredible through this whole difficult journey of mine. We had to reschedule our wedding because I needed brain surgery and was met with so many challenges. He was so understanding. Then we ended up canceling due to increasing health problems. He gave our deposit back! And was so nice. He is very easy to communicate with and very prompt. Highly recommended!
We simply don't have enough space in this review to mention all of the wonderful things about working with John! He was our absolute favorite vendor to work with for our wedding. We knew we didn't want a flashy DJ with a "production-company" vibe, we didn't want to break the bank, and we wanted our wedding music to reflect who we are as a couple. DJ John completely delivered on all of these things! He was incredibly responsive throughout the process (which can often be hard to find in a wedding vendor) and was very accommodating of our music desires for the evening (including our reception playlist and a specific starting point in the song for the bride processional). He was not only a terrific DJ on the night of our wedding by keeping the dance floor lively, but he was also an excellent emcee and did a wonderful job of interacting with the crowd for things such as shuttle announcements and interviewing the "winners" of our anniversary dance. He even went above and beyond in his role as a DJ by providing recommendations of other vendors in the area during the wedding planning process and even carrying the dinner plate for one of our guests with a disability from the buffet table to his guest table. We received endless compliments from our guests about DJ John and feel so lucky to have gotten to work with the best DJ in Southwest Michigan (and, I'd argue, the entire Midwest!). He will forever be one of the greatest choices we made about our wedding day!
We can’t say enough great things about John! The amount of value he provided to our day exceeded our expectations. From the start, John was very quick to respond and answer any and all of our questions. Leading up to the wedding, he had a simple questionnaire for information he needed and provided clips of all our special songs to ensure he had the correct version of each song. The day of our wedding was seamless and John was a big part in timing of our events. He’d check-in with us to see if we needed anything and give us timing reminders of what was upcoming.
He was also super flexible. The playlist we originally provided for dancing wasn’t playing out as we expected and John was able to switch up the music on the spot to keep the dance floor full all night. We can’t thank John enough for the professionalism, value and flexibility. He is an awesome DJ and great person! Thank you for making our day and night amazing!!
John did a wonderful job as our DJ in August. He had great communication with us prior to the wedding, he was always VERY quick to respond and made sure he had every detail exactly right. Day of he arrived early and worked to set up indoors and outdoors. He did a fantastic job keeping the dance floor going and played just the right mix of variety for us. He is very reasonably priced for his skill and the amount of effort he puts in! Would 100% recommend!
John was very professional and communicative from the start of hiring him. His service was uniquely affordable in our area. During the wedding he was on top of not just the music but all important transitions as well. I felt confident everything was going exactly as it should. A good DJ like John seems to make this kind of thing happen in addition to assembling the music wanted.
John was amazing. From the beginning he was very informative and always gave best recommendations to help us plan our day perfectly. He sent us clips of our songs we wanted to use for certain dances to make sure they were correct. He even talked us over the timeline of events so everything will run smooth. He also made sure to talk things through with our officiant so all cues wouldn’t be missed. He defiantly went above and beyond on our wedding day, not only was he playing awesome music but he kept checking on us to make sure we were doing ok and if we needed help with anything else. I 100% recommend John to make your wedding even better! Wanda R.R.
DJ John is the BEST! He communicated quickly and effectively from the first day I inquired about his services. My now hubby and I choose special songs and John confirmed our selections by sending clips ahead of time. He made sure everything ran smoothly the day of our wedding! He had tissue on hand at all times & made sure our champagne glasses were full! John is professional, thoughtful, and detail oriented. I can’t believe we booked such an amazing DJ at a VERY reasonable price. We did not provide a playlist & he kept the dance floor popping all night. HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest booking DJ John for your wedding needs! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
John Corell went above and beyond the call of duty as our DJ. Not only did he have all the songs we asked for, but he also arrived early, and proactively checked in with us as well as with the planners throughout the day to ensure everyone was doing well and things were proceeding as scheduled.
He kept the ship running the whole day, ensuring great audio and smooth transitions between ceremony, toasts, and the first dance, without a single hiccup. Thanks to his professionalism and accessibility, we had a flawless wedding service at a competitive price.
John was the perfect DJ and host for our wedding. I am so thankful for his professionalism and knowledge, and he made the reception go very smoothly. He promptly answered questions in the weeks leading up to our event and always put my mind at ease. He made choosing our music very easy and provided a ton of song choices in each genre as well. I highly recommend him!
John was an amazing dj! He made our night so special. He goes above and beyond when other djs may not. He is very reasonable on his pricing. John was very professional and did absolutely everything to make sure our night was perfect. I would 100% use him again! Thank you John
John was fantastic. He was VERY reasonably priced for what he did. He showed up 2 hours early to set up which he did not charge us for. He worked well with the other vendors in particular the officiant to make sure the couple’s (my son and now daughter in law) day went smoothly. Everyone had so much fun. He kept everyone dancing all night. Communication was great. He responds to emails almost immediately. We would highly recommend John!
John was our DJ for our wedding last night. He was amazing! He was super easy to get in touch with right from the beginning, responded within a few hours at most. He was very thorough and called to confirm all of our requests a week prior to the wedding. He also sent clips of all the key songs to make sure they were the correct versions.
The night of our wedding, John was on time fully prepared. He didn't rush things but kept them moving as needed. He continued to confirm things throughout the night before hand (like checking to make sure he had the correct songs cued up for certain dances). He took pictures for us, he got us drinks from the bar during dinner, and he even had cough drops for me when my throat started getting sore from all the talking and singing!
We could not have been happier with our choice to have John as our DJ!
100% recommend for any special event!
I seriously cannot begin to express how incredible John was. He was a blast to work with. My now-wife and I have a very eclectic music taste, and we also chose that vast majority of our songs ourselves. John was able to work with that and absolutely killed it! Not only that, he went above and beyond his DJing services. He carried our food back to the table during dinner and found time to get the OK from us for certain song portions during the night. He does announcements for your party and does a great job choreographing portions of the night. All in all, I cannot recommend him enough.
John provided DJ services for our 50th Anniversary party - he was great! He was very attentive and helped manage the evening. He was very easy to work with and played all the music we requested. We highly recommend him.
John was a class act as the D. J. for my son's wedding reception! He was extremely thorough in preparation ahead of the event, gave us extensive resources and input to assist with planning, and worked seamlessly with our wedding planner the night of the wedding to ensure the event went off beautifully.
From moving the schedule around to accommodate last minute changes, to being our announcer for all the transitions, John took the worry and stress away and allowed us all to relax and enjoy the reception.
John was a great DJ and we are so thankful that we chose him for our special day! Not only was he great at reading the crowd and picking songs that everyone enjoyed and would dance to, but he was extremely flexible with all of the last minute COVID changes (our wedding venue had half our guests outside due to occupancy restrictions). He went above and beyond by helping us to brainstorm different ways to keep both groups interacted and happy. He was always very courteous and professional and responded quickly to any sort of communication or questions we had. He was very thorough in his preparations for the day and he definitely played a key role in keeping the evening on schedule and making everything perfect. We appreciated everything he did for us and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.!
Very responsive, organized and easy to work with!
John thought of everything including all the stuff we had not!! We really enjoyed working with him! It is a stressful, super busy day. And having someone to help organize and let you know where to go and keep you somewhat true to your timeline is so important!
John went above and beyond on our wedding day to ensure it was the best day for us! He was amazing at making sure our timeline was followed and made sure that everything we needed was taken care of. He was also super helpful and responsive while we were planning the wedding. Would highly recommend!!
John was absolutely PHENOMENAL! He got so many compliments from our guests! He does not just come and set up a dj table and play music all night, he goes above ajd BEYOND! He arrive pleanty early to get himself set up and organized, he helped make mine (the bride) and other guests plates in the buffet line that needed help, he coordinated with other vendors the day of so we didnt have to stress about it, he triple checked important songs beforehand including sending a clip to make sure he had the right ones. He rolled with the last minute change of order to our bridal party line up MINUTES before the reception entrance. Most importantly he made sure we were having fun and kept the crowd dancing! I cannot speak highly enough of him! A true old fashion professional!
John made our day stress free. Our original DJ got COVID and John stepped in with 3 days before our wedding and did not miss a beat. He worked with our other vendors and made everything go seamlessly. He is timely and very professional. He kept us informed all throughout the wedding and was very flexible with his timeframe which let us run off and get some photos done. We would highly recommend him!
John was the bomb dot com! John showed experience and professionalism when preparing us for our big day and worked to fill in the gaps where we needed additional services. We really didn't need to worry about the song list because he had good research into what weddings were playing and took requests.
John went above and beyond any expectation we had. Not only did he allow us to pick all the songs AND have a specific order but he also sent us clips of every “special” dance song to ensure it was exactly what we were wanting. He drove HOURS to our wedding early. Brought two set ups for ceremony and reception. Played music early before the wedding started for guests trickling in. He brought fans for us at the head table as our wedding was outside. He kept things moving and on track. We could go on and on. Hiring John was the easiest and best decision! Thank you for making our day spectacular!
Where do we begin? Choosing John for our wedding DJ was an easy choice from the beginning and that choice did not disappoint. He is not only professional, organized & highly interested in creating personalized service for his patrons, he is also just a genuine and kind person. We loved the details he included such as providing fans at our head table, helping coordinate our ceremony, seamless music & MC transitions, and even assisting elderly guests to their cars at the end of the night. He kept our guests happy dancing away all night long! He is a master of his art. He is an absolute joy to work with and would hands down be my first choice for anyone in of his services.
John was such a pleasure to work with. His knowledge, expertise, and personality kept the event running smoothly. Not to mention, we were out on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! If I could do it again, there would be no question in my mind on who to choose as our DJ. Thank you John for helping us have the most amazing night!
John was a great DJ for our wedding at Shadowland Ballroom in St. Joseph, MI! He was professional, timely, organized and most of all helped to keep everything going smoothly throughout the reception! While we were enjoying our reception with the company of our guests, John was in the background communicating with our photographer, wedding coordinator, transportation drivers, and family members to plan what was next! We truly couldn’t have pulled off such an amazing reception without him. Would highly recommend to anyone getting married!
John was a pleasure to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process and was always extremely professional and quick to respond. He is very attentive and ALWAYS gets back to you within 24 hours (usually within an hour or two). When you hire John, you get more than just a DJ since he essentially acts as a day-of coordinator. John helped to coordinate the ceremony on the day of, helped release tables for dinner, brought battery operated fans for the bridal party and others who needed them, and coordinates with other vendors to ensure that our wedding day went off without a hitch. He goes over the timeline with you prior to the wedding and makes sure that everything progresses as planned and keeps you on schedule so that you and your mothers/fathers/guests/etc. don't have to worry about the timeline and can just enjoy the party.
John works with you to make your day exactly the way you want it and goes out of his way to download the exact music you want (even if it is a part of a YouTube video or something) so that you can have the exact versions of your special songs that you'd like. He was even able to play a song during the ceremony that was written and recorded by one of our bridal party members (we provided the .mp3 file) and he created a "mash-up" of a couple different songs for my wife's father-daughter dance so that they could surprise the entire reception. He sends short clips of all of your important songs so that you can be sure it is the correct version to avoid any awkward misunderstandings on wedding day. He will act as the emcee on your wedding day and will manage all introductions and announcements prior to toasts, dances, etc. (really whatever you want him to announce). He checks in with you well in advance of the wedding to make sure he is familiar with the venue and brings ALL of the audio equipment needed. He provides all of the microphones, speakers, etc. for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance floor (at our venue he essentially needed 3 separate setups and provided all of this at no additional cost, arriving early to make sure everything was set up way ahead of time). He also plays nice instrumental music prior to the ceremony while your guests are arriving.
When it was time to hit the dance floor, John kept the dance floor moving and kept it full throughout the entire night. He worked with us leading up to the wedding day to compile a "do-not-play" list as well as a "must-play" list and really kept the party going.
When you hire John, you can rest assured that you will have a VERY reliable DJ who will go above and beyond to make everybody at your wedding comfortable and will do everything in his power to make sure your day goes perfectly. There will be no surprises, communication will be outstanding throughout the entire process, and he will provide all of the services he promises and more. Please don't let his VERY reasonable price point make you nervous or hesitant to hire him. His reviews speak for themselves, and they are all 100% true. If my wife and I could go back in time and plan our wedding again, we would absolutely, positively choose John every single time. As a testament to his outstanding service, we actually had a couple of friends, including one of our bridesmaids, ask for his contact information after the wedding (they are currently planning weddings of their own).
You won't be disappointed if you choose to go with John!
John did such an amazing job as the DJ at our wedding! He was so attentive to detail, and we really appreciated how smoothly he helped our reception flow. We would pick him again, hands down, in a heartbeat!!
Words cannot express how wonderful John was. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was special. He's more than a DJ, he's an extremely helpful guide through the whole wedding experience. My wife and I highly recommend him! 10/10
John was a pro. He had everything we needed. Checked in with us regularly before the wedding, let us use some equipment and even pick it up prior to the wedding. During the wedding it was a perfect amount of hands-on and hands-off and we had given him a large list of songs (more than what could be played) and he did a great job feeling the energy of the evening and placing different songs a different times to make the experience extraordinary.
John was not only a good DJ, but he made sure to go above and beyond to help us out on our special day. He helped my guitarist friend set up, brought extra speakers and microphones for the ceremony without me even asking, brought mini portable fans for the head table, and released table by table for our dinner buffet. We loved having John as a part of our wedding and we're so happy we found someone at a reasonable price who went the extra mile to make sure our day went as smoothly as possible.
John went above and beyond from the second we booked him until the day of our wedding! Whenever we had questions, he made sure to get back to us very quickly. And through all of the changes we went through because of COVID, he was there every step, offering services to us just to make sure we were always at ease. The reception went so smoothly, thanks to John. All of our guests talked about how awesome the DJ was and I completely agree! I would recommend John to everyone in search of a DJ for their special day!
We hired John to DJ our wedding and it is one of the best decisions we ever made. We booked John about a year and a half in advance, and he maintained great communication the entire time. He is extremely helpful and very quick to respond. John is great at what he does. He makes sure to keep the day going smoothly! We received so many compliments at how flawlessly the ceremony transitioned into the reception, which we have John to thank for that. I highly recommend hiring John to DJ your wedding or any other event. You will not be disappointed!
We LOVED working with John!! He was extremely responsive, flexible with all changes COVID provided, open to customizing all of our music choices, and familiar with our venue/venue staff. He was approachable and willing to assist all vendors in any way. He also made sure we had personal fans and our drink of choice ready for us on the head table when we entered the reception. We recommend John for all of your DJ needs!!!
Wow, I can't say enough good things about John Correll. He made my husband and I feel so at ease throughout the whole wedding process because of his attention to detail, his amazing response time, and his concern for us having the best day of our lives. Many of our guests commented how much fun the dance floor was and how it had music appealing to all different age groups. John thinks of everything - from small portable fans he placed on the head table for us, to fixing the ties of all of the bridal party before the ceremony, to having tissues ready for my husband and our parents. He announced important information to guests so that we did not have to worry about any details falling through the cracks. He helped make our day go off without a hitch and we would absolutely recommend him to all of our friends and family.
John was an awesome DJ! We only used him for our reception, but he was perfect! He went over all of our songs beforehand so there were no surprises. He made sure our entrance was perfect! He led the tables for the dinner. He made sure everything ran on time! I highly recommend John!!
John was absolutely the best DJ we could have asked for. From the first time we reached out to him to the day of the wedding, he was very responsive. It never took him more than a couple hours to get back to us. He was very thorough and did everything he could to make sure the day went smoothly. The day of the wedding, he made sure we had everything we needed, going above and beyond his duties as DJ. The music was perfect for both the ceremony and the reception and our guests had a blast! I would absolutely recommend John!
Very professional and experienced DJ. John was responsive and flexible with all of our requests. My husband and I had a family member perform during our cocktail hour and John even helped to set that up! A great option for any event!
John was so great to work with. He is very professional and goes the extra mile with everything! He dismissed tables for dinner, set up equipment in 3 different places to adapt to what we wanted, and just helped the evening to flow well. My favorite part about him is how THOROUGHLY he went through my ceremony and reception music with me before the big day. He went to any length to to make our day better. We were so pleased with him. Professional and polite. THANK you!!!
John was such a blessing!! We were referred to John by our Photographer and we are so glad we called! John was very communicative with us and making sure we had the songs and choices we desired! As we were going for our first look photos, John stopped my maid of honor and I and gave us battery operated fans to take along as it was Mid summer (July 6, 2019) He also set fans on our Sweet Heart Table for us to cool down during dinner service! The timing of the ceremony music, the introduction music and the reception never missed a beat! John kept the party going and made sure to keep our guests informed of the schedule for the evening!
I can’t not speak more highly of John’s attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond, and sole priority of making the music and dance floor everything we could have dreamed of! He set up early, played only songs we wanted, read the crowd well, verified everything with my husband and I both before the night and during to ensure things were flowing how we wanted, and even brought us our own fans to help survive the summer heat at our summer outdoor wedding! John is a professional and we can’t recommend him enough!
John was absolutely amazing! 10 out of 10!!
John did an amazing job at our wedding! Everyone had a blast dancing the night away. He made sure everything ran on schedule and everyone was where they were supposed to be. He was flexible as well and have great suggestions to keep the night going smoothly. Any issues that arose even with other vendors, he took care of. I did a lot of planning myself and it was such a relief knowing I had John there to take care of the timeline and little details. I cannot recommend him enough!! We had the time of our lives!
John Correl did an amazing job on my wedding reception. He went beyond my expectations. He is not only a great Dj but also a excellent person to do business with.
After reading reviews on this website and others we decided to use John as our DJ. Not going to lie, we were a little nervous choosing a DJ without seeing him on the job or knowing anyone who had used him previously. We trusted our gut and I’m so glad we did. John was a great communicator throughout our wedding planning process and helped the day go off without a hitch. He was very thoughtful in keeping us updated during the reception of our timeline and made sure to keep everything on schedule. We didn’t have a day of planner and honestly didn’t need one due to John’s organization and promptness. I would highly recommend John as your DJ!
John is excellent! He's not just a DJ, he basically helped make sure our entire wedding went smooth from beginning to end. He goes over everything thoroughly with you to make sure everything is just how you want it. He gives a 5 minute warning before any "events" during the reception, so there are no surprises and everyone knows what to expect. He sets up hours early, to make sure everything is in place. He reminded all our guests to sign our guest book, got drinks ready for our head table and even had glow sticks for the kiddos! He did it all! You will not be disappointed with John, he goes above and beyond expectation!
We highly recommend John Correll Professional DJ Services! If you are looking for a DJ, send John an email right now!! John is responsive and thoroughly answers emails and phone calls quickly. We spoke on the phone a week before the wedding about all of the wedding details, about our specific song requests, and to make sure he announced the wedding party correctly. The day of our wedding, he set up hours early and made sure everything was in place for all events. He was always there when we needed him. He played all of the songs we requested and even played our requested songs during cocktail hour/dinner! Best of all, he kept our guests dancing all night with a wonderful mix of songs. He is organized, professional, experienced, and wonderful to work with.
Thank you so much, John! Look no further for a DJ, John is the best!
We cannot put in enough words on how wonderful John is! He helped us every step of the way from suggesting vendors, assisting in the coordination of the ceremony, communicating to other vendors on site, and to keeping EVERYONE on the dance floor. You WILL NOT find a better DJ. We had so many guests compliment both his music and his work ethic in keeping the party going! He goes above and beyond the requirements/expectations of a DJ. Truly a blessing to have! We could not be happier and highly recommend him!!
John was exceptional!! We could not have hired anyone better for that job! He went above and beyond expectations. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire day of the wedding. Communication was always very easy from the get go. I loved that he was very detail oriented. Would highly recommend!!
Absolutely wonderful! John was so helpful during the night when I needed anything. He played my special requests and keep the evening going. I would highly recommend him!!
OUTSTANDING! AMAZING! John was the absolute best!! He exceeded every expectation we had, he played the best music! Not only do you get a sweet and easy going person you get someone very professional! We are so thankful we booked john as our DJ, do not hesitate to book john for any occasion, we would absolutely use his services over and over again!

Reasons to have John as your DJ: attentive to details, flexible, provided quick and comprehensive communication, organized and maintained appropriate flow throughout the day, played a perfect mix of music, great price. John was instrumental in making our wedding day flow with ease; his attention to detail and years of experience made the day much less stressful.
John was a very professional DJ. He went over and beyond what I would consider his duties to make sure we were comfortable and make sure the reception went smoothly and matched my desires. It was an expense that was worth it.
John was amazing from the beginning to end! He’s so professional and personable! When we first met with him we knew he was the guy! He put all of our nerves to ease and went above and beyond at the wedding! Everyone raved about how much fun the music was! Look no further this is your guy! We can’t recommend him enough!
As a parent helping coordinate wedding details for my son and his fiancé, having the assistance of John was the absolute best decision we made. John was incredibly responsive in his communications, was so helpful in providing tools for each facet of the services he offered (song lists, scheduling ideas and general guidance) and offered a calm, professional presence which was appreciated by everyone. John's natural warmth, genuine interest in the success of the wedding and ceremony, and his attention to every detail was evident to all. Having John as our professional DJ was a wonderful blessing and I highly recommend John. He will provide for your every need, I am certain!

John did an amazing job at my wedding, 9/22/18 at Gable Hill! He seriously went above and beyond the role of DJ to make the wedding go smoothly, even with on-the-fly schedule and plan changes. He answers emails very thoroughly in minutes and spoke with me on the phone a week before the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. Not only does he keep guests on schedule, but he keeps the bridal party & the bride & groom on task and ready for the events that were coming up. He was honestly a wedding day of lifesaver in more ways than one! Thanks John(:
John is great to work with and an amazing DJ! He is wonderful with customer service, responds to emails quickly, and goes above and beyond to meet your requests. The process of booking John was easy and stress free. He was extremely prepared and had us approve everything before the wedding day. Our reception was flawless and a night to remember. John was extraordinary at leading the reception and playing the perfect music. We had a full dance floor the whole entire night! We highly recommend John to anyone looking for a DJ!
John was great to work with for our wedding this summer. He was fast and thorough in communicating with us in the months leading up to our wedding day, and was extremely organized the day of, keeping everything running smoothly and on time as planned. My husband and I chose a lot of our own music, which John was open to, and he did a great job with the songs he selected - having enough variety for all of our guests and keeping everyone dancing. Thanks John!
John was BEYOND amazing! I initially was a little nervous going off just reviews, but I am so happy! John was so on top of email communication, rarely over just a few hours for a response. Even before signing a contract, John asked if I needed recommendations for other vendors, and the next day had sent me a list of people he has worked with in the past.
When it came time to pick music, John provide a questionnaire to fill out, along with a list of popular songs for each part of the wedding. That was SO helpful as a starting point for us.
He was very thorough with every answer and even helped me think through day of timelines. We actually fired our officiant the morning of the wedding and John was essential for how smooth the day-of went. He helped us find a new space at the venue to wait that had air conditioning, but had even brought down small fans for us prior to that. Who would have thought to bring fans?! He gave updates on guests coming in and when we should start and helped coordinate everybody into their places.
Other reviews say John goes above and beyond, and he does. The bustle on my dress kept coming undone, John noticed us messing with it and had safety pins available without us even asking. Again, who would have thought to bring small fans?!
He truly is a person who cares about the experience, wants the day to go great, and clearly loves what he does. His prices were a smiiiidge higher than other quotes I had received, but the complete piece of mind was very worth it. He really provided many services that a day of coordinator would have done. I have zero regrets about choosing John as our DJ and have been shouting from the rooftops how wonderful he is. 10/10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, the cat's meow, the whole shebang!
John did an absolutely wonderful job on our wedding day! Not only did he keep the dance floor going all night, he acted as a coordinator to make sure everything was on time and that everything was taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! He is the most organized person ever, which is extremely helpful! You will not regret choosing John for your big day!!
John goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly! He arrived early to set up and check his systems, came to our ceremony to make sure the speaker and microphone we borrowed from him worked correctly, and responds so quickly to emails. He sent us clips of our most important songs to make sure they are the version we wanted, and double checked multiple times. Most importantly, he kept the dance floor SO FUN! He could read the crowd perfectly and knew exactly the songs to play to keep everyone dancing! I would highly recommend John's services.
I don’t even know where to begin. From being very responsive and incredibly helpful in planning to offering to get drinks for us at the wedding, I couldn’t ask for any better. John was over accommodating, extremely organized, professional, incredibly friendly and so helpful. If you want the best of the best, John's your guy.
John was helpful in answering all of our questions, and he was attentive to the guests, as well David and I. My older brother was being a little annoying, and John handled it with professionalism and tact. I also got sick after dinner, and he made sure no one noticed. He was helpful before, during, and after the wedding. I did a lot of research when hiring a DJ and I'm so glad I picked John!
John was the DJ for our wedding and he was awesome to work with. Deciding which DJ to book was no easy task, but we could not have been happier with how it turned out. John was very responsive throughout the whole process and very professional. We had a very extensive playlist and do not play list and he was very flexible in downloading everything that we asked to play. You can tell he really cares about you having the best night possible. Throughout the day/evening he was on top of everything. He arrived plenty early to get set up and was flexible in moving some equipment, when the set up wasn't what he originally expected. My friend was our officiant and John was proactive at getting on the same page as the officiant so that the ceremony went off without a hitch. He also acted almost like a coordinator the whole night. He always confirmed if we were ready for key songs/moments in the night and gave us 5 minute warnings when things were about to start. He did the same for our photographer and coordinator so that everyone was on the same page and no shots were missed or nothing went off schedule. Even our day of coordinator mentioned to us how great he was to work with. The music was great the whole night and I got multiple comments about how good it was and how the dance floor was great the whole night. We would recommend him to anyone and were very happy to work with him.
From the beginning he has been easy to get a hold of and has responded to all my questions and comments so quickly. We talked for about 30 minutes the week before the wedding to get all the last details figured out which was comforting. Fast forward to the actual wedding and I can honestly say he was worth every penny and then some. John showed up early to set up his equipment and ensure it was all working. We had a brief discussion before the ceremony started to make sure we were on the same page and from then on he ran the show perfectly. John would always come talk to us any time anything big was about to come up so we were prepared, he even would give us warnings such as 5 minute warning before cake cutting. This was something we found so helpful because it gave us time to wrap up what we were doing and prepare for what was to come. Also John had every type of medicine you could need behind his DJ booth as he was giving my new wife cough drops throughout the night which was extremely helpful!
The best part about our wedding was that John knew how to keep the mood going. We had a lot of guests who liked to dance and let me tell you John knew exactly what to play and when to play it! He made the evening extremely special and we are both so happy that we went with John for our wedding DJ. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is having a wedding in this area. He was extremely professional, responsive, funny, and all around fun. If you are looking for a DJ I would say look no further because you just found the perfect wedding DJ!
Thank you John for everything you did for our wedding! Couldn't have asked for a better DJ!
John was absolutely fantastic not only on our wedding day, but in the months and weeks leading up to our big day. John was always so quick to respond to emails and was incredibly organized. The day of the wedding, he helped keep the wedding party on time and on track, and was a huge help throughout the reception by announcing dinner, speeches, etc. I would recommend John to anyone looking for a professional, experienced DJ!
John was so great to work with. He communicated every step of the way to make sure that everything was as stress free as possible. Every song & special request we had was taken care of. On top of that he is a wonderful gentleman who even carried my dinner plate to the table. He made sure the whole evening moved along smoothly & did over & above what we expected from a DJ at a very reasonable price. 110% satisfaction!!!
John was a great asset to our special day. Not only did he do a wonderful job on the day of the wedding by getting everyone on the dance floor during the whole planning experience he was there to help. He makes the extra steps to help you with your planning needs no matter what it may be. He also responds quickly to any emails.
John was amazing to work with! In my preparation to finding all of the vendors for our big day he was essential in keeping me sane. He was full of ideas, gave great explanations, offered lots of advice, was patient but was sure to get me all the answers to my questions within 24 hours (something I struggled to get from other vendors and I happen to be very picky about). If you want good quality and customer service he is definitely the way to go!
John is one of the greatest decisions we made when booking vendors. Matt and I are VERY big music people, and John fulfilled every single request we had with ease. He was extremely easy to get ahold of, and he was great at communicating with us ahead of time to ease the chaos the week of the wedding. John handled everything like a pro. I knew the day was going to go off without a hitch, and that is SUCH a wonderful relief. John is the type of person who gets to the venue hours before the ceremony to set up and make sure everything is perfect. He even offers to help hang decorations and lend a helping hand wherever it is needed. Just having John around is such a relief. I knew I could trust him with anything and everything. I confidently recommend John to anyone looking for a DJ. He is a wonderful, wonderful person.
