John Correll Professional DJ Services

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 is the BEST! He is responsive (sometimes within minutes of sending him an email) and professional. He DJ'd for our daughter's wedding and went over and above our expectations. He set up for the ceremony which was outside, the reception which was in one bldg and the cocktail hour coordinating sound system with a keyboard player in a 3rd location on site at the wedding venue. He also kept the day and evening flowing making sure the guys and the girls that were getting ready in separate locations at the venue were lined up and ready on time for the ceremony, did introductions for the speeches, bridal party and special songs. He even edited the father/daughter song Butterfly kissed so that it was a more reasonable length at our request keeping the final verse and providing it over a week in advance for us to listen to and it was flawless! He worked with the couple on their playlist and their do not play list ahead of time so that it was just so smooth - everyone had a great time and danced the night away! He even made sure there were napkins on the cake table when he saw there were none laid out. He is truly the best and I would hire him again for any occasion,

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!
