We all know the music can make or break your wedding so this was one of the most important decisions we had to make — and we can 100% say choosing Justin to be our DJ was the right...
one! From the first call with Justin, we could tell that he understood the vibe we were going for and we were so excited for the big day. We had the pleasure of having Justin DJ our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The timing at the ceremony was perfect for our procession and recessional and the mic for our officiant sounded perfect. The vibes definitely started going with cocktail hour and set the mood straight through to dinner. We already had people coming up to us and complimenting the music! When it was time for our specialty dances, Justin nailed that timing and announcements. Then it was time to open up the dance floor! The first song got everyone singling along and dancing together and it truly didn’t stop until the last song. We barely left the dance floor all night long! Even our other vendors said how much they loved Justin’s music all day. We highly recommend Justin to DJ your wedding, you won’t be disappointed!
Months later and I'm still receiving compliments from our guests on how incredible our music was! Justin knows how to get a dance floor going and keep it going. He listened careful...
ly to what songs we wanted and played them at just the right moments. Even better, he played songs that fit exactly with our style/genre/mood that I wouldn't have thought to ask for, but were perfect. Seriously, I could not have been happier. He was also a great communicator leading up to the event—always responsive and excited to talk. Wish I could have a party with him every weekend!
Justin was an amazing DJ for our wedding weekend—super communicative throughout the process, great taste in music, and flawless transitions that kept the energy going all night. We...
couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
We first experienced Justin's work at a friends wedding. After a night of dancing more than anyone else at the wedding, we knew right away we wanted Justin to DJ our wedding as wel...
l the following year. We took his card and the entire process was easy and wonderful considering all of the other work that comes along with planning a wedding. Justin is extremely easy to work with and an all around great guy. He takes all of your requests/ideas into consideration and also will make tweaks/additions to diversify and enhance the overall musical experience if you wish him to. We had complete faith in him to be creative and we could not have been any happier with how the night turned out. The platform he uses to learn more about you and the music you like was also very efficient and easy to work on. If we ever need a DJ for another event in our lives, we wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Justin!
Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work w...
ith. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior.
Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!
My wife and I recently got married and had Justin as our DJ. From start to finish he was amazing, the playlist website was fluid and easy to navigate. We were able to get in all th...
e songs we love and he did a wonderful job of timing everything. If you want your guests to get up and groove Justin is your man.

ding day our DJ was professional, friendly, and kept the guests happy. We were very pleased working with Justin Raymund Deejays. They played all the songs we wanted to hear and kept the party going all night. I would certainly recommend them for any occasion. 10 out of 10 !!!
Justin is a fabulous DJ.
First, he's just a great person. Justin showed genuine interest in us and our wedding, and he even came over to us after the celebration to congratulate ...
us on the wedding and my partner's recent graduation.
Second, the guy knows and loves music. He's creative and clever with his transitions and mixes (e.g. "Who Run the World? Barbra Streisand" | putting on "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch" when dessert came out); he has great suggestions, and if you introduce him to anything he doesn't already know, he will gobble it right up!
Third, he's a great wedding DJ. He was celebratory but not cheesy with introductions, and he kept people out on the dance floor all night. Everyone from our guests to venue staff raved about him!
Justin, thank you for helping make our wedding such a fun and memorable night!
A consummate professional. Back in our dating days, my wife and I encountered DJ Justin Raymund at BOB bar in NYC. He was spinning great stuff and he had every song I requested i...
nstantly. Five years before our wedding, I told him if we ever get married, I want you to DJ our wedding. He said absolutely and gave me a card. The rest is history. We contacted DJ Justin and luckily he was available. From start to finish, he was always available and always helpful with our vision for our wedding. He is a great emcee and DJ and will tailor your wedding to a T. He was a big hit and we had the best time. Highly recommend. Thanks DJ Justin!
Justin has been so wonderful to work with as our wedding DJ and I am so glad my partner and I found him! Justin let us take the lead on our music taste and allowed for a lot of fre...
edom on song choice/music vibe, along with adding his professional touch! I really appreciated that Justin has an expanded music taste and a lot of professional experience, even outside of the wedding industry. He was able to read the room of our reception and keep people of all ages on the dance floor throughout the night!
Justin is also very considerate and down to earth. He really listened to our needs, our vision for our reception and encouraged our music choices. During the reception, when family members asking to give a speech in real time, he checked with my partner and I first to make sure that was okay. Don't hesitate about hiring Justin! He's really cool and the sweetest, most positive guy!
Justin was our wedding DJ and he was the best ever. Our whole dance floor was packed all evening and he really met our requests and vibes the entire night. Justin was so thoughtful...
and kind to work with as well, which made the whole process better. He even made a special DJ set for the Groom to play. Best night, 10/10!!
We recently had the pleasure of working with DJ Justin who played a pivotal role in making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable. From the initial planning stages to the final...
dance, his thoughtfulness, expertise, and impeccable music choices created a night we will cherish forever.
One of the standout qualities to highlight was his ability to take our rough half formed ideas and turn them into amazing outcomes. For example, we knew we wanted My Boo to play as our entrance and first dance but didn’t know how to transition between the two. He sent us different remixes / acoustic versions of the song and we were able to plan the perfect transition that blended so smoothly from the raw original to walk in too into the slow acoustic version to dance to.
In terms of playlist curation, he went far beyond just asking us what songs we prefer and instead got a feel for our backgrounds, interests, and guests expected at the wedding. Also, he had an uncanny ability to gauge the mood of the crowd and adjust the music accordingly. Whether it was getting everyone on their feet after dinner or keeping the energy high during the late-night dance-offs, he knew exactly what tracks to play. His transitions were flawless, ensuring that the party never lost its momentum.
If you're looking for a wedding DJ who is not only professional and attentive but also a master at creating an unforgettable party, look no further. Justin was the heart and soul of our celebration, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants to ensure their special day is one for the books. Thanks Justin for making our wedding an absolute blast!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and musical partner in Justin. The musical atmosphere of the event was very important to us and Justin blew our expectations out of the water...
.
From just a couple conversations, it was evident that Justin truly understood our musical tastes as individuals and as a couple and he skillfully incorporated our preferences to create a unique and incredibly fun experience for our guests throughout the entire day.
From the ambient yet upbeat music of the cocktail hour to the bangers on the reception dance floor, each transition was seamless and it was clear that he had carefully curated the music to match the energy of each moment of the day.
What impressed us the most was how well Justin grasped our needs, tastes, and the flow of events. His friendly and approachable demeanor made us feel at ease, and he radiated positive vibes throughout the entire celebration. We got compliments throughout the event on the music and our dance floor was packed till the very last second.
We had SO much fun and we've seriously had so many conversations post-wedding about how awesome the music was and how happy we were that Justin was our DJ. Thank you Justin for making our wedding truly unforgettable!
Justin was so easy to work with and I wouldn't change any aspect of his Dj-ing. Hire him!
We are from Brooklyn, NY and hired Justin to DJ for our spring 2022 wedding ~4 hours away in the Berkshires in our outdoor sailcloth tented wedding and he was an absolute dream! Fr...
om the very start of the process, he made us feel at ease and asked the right questions about what kind of vibe we were going for and expertly crafted a combination of music that kept our guests dancing the night away! Smooth transitions, seamless flow! You can give him as little or as much as you want in terms of song ideas or requests and he will work his magic to keep the party going all night! I had never seen my dad get up and dance like that in my whole life… haha! If we had to do it all over again, we would wholeheartedly choose Justin as our DJ & a huge plus that he has a great, pleasing voice to help carry the few announcements that we had through the evening (don’t know about others but this was important to us)! Also, we had a minor issue with the power brought by the seller are rental company but Justin kept his poise, handled the situation professionally, and worked well with other vendors to immediately remedy the situation. We highly, highly recommend Justin and would be happy to speak to anyone who is looking for further assurances! I can’t imagine a better DJ for our wedding and are so, so thankful that we found him for ours~
Justin was incredible - Every single person we have talked to keeps raving about how much fun they had and how incredible the music was. We had Justin play from our ceremony to the...
cocktail hour to the reception AND the after party (also how amazing he was there for all of it!!) and we were all incredibly sore from dancing for 8 straight hours. He had everyone on their feet the entire time.
Justin was professional, fun, 10/10 would recommend.
We really don’t have enough good things to say about Justin. From our first introduction, we understood that Justin not only shared our love for music, but was also a seasoned prof...
essional that could handle all the complexities that came along with the job. From helping us sort through a massive playlist of music spanning the last century, to setting up and running between four different locations at our 100-acre venue, we placed our trust in him and it could not have turned out better. From 80s new wave at the ceremony to disco and 90s house at the afterparty, Justin not only set the perfect mood for each part of the event but kept our 75 guests dancing well into the night. Overall Justin not only made things easy and stress-free for us but is a very talented DJ, and we could not recommend him enough.
We really loved Justin. He was awesome to work with leading up to our wedding, and most importantly he was an excellent DJ. He ably performed the basic MC'ing duties (introductions...
etc), but mostly just kept the good music going, transitioning from hit to hit, keeping our guests dancing all night (seriously, we only had 36 guests, and we worried it might be a kind of lame dance floor, and everyone was up dancing for hours). Multiple people came up to me during the night to tell me how great the DJ was. We would definitely recommend Justin. He far surpassed our expectations for a wedding DJ.
Justin rocked our wedding. He was thoughtful and organized throughout the planning process—answering all our questions and helping us articulate our musical tastes and vision for t...
he big day. When the evening rolled around, Justin read the room perfectly and played hits from all decades that got everyone dancing well into the night. The crowd loved him and we're so happy with how the night turned out!
Justin is an absolutely incredible DJ. Right off the bat our initial call with Justin gave us a great feeling that we had the right DJ and we were not wrong! Day of, Justin arrived...
at the venue early and was all set up with plenty of time to spare giving us just one less thing to worry about through all the chaos that is wedding day. We managed to put together a short list of songs for Justin to give him an idea of the kind of music we were looking for and he ran with it flawlessly. Throughout the night, Justin read the crowd to a tee and we got compliments from our guests the entire time with several saying they want to book him for their wedding. We genuinely thought our guests were not the dancing type, but sure enough Justin managed to get the dance floor filled with no room to spare just through his music choices. We had a blast with Justin and he wasn't just a DJ but a part of our wedding we will never forget. Would highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a DJ that will be responsive, collaborative, fun and want nothing more than to see you and your guests having a great time dancing!
Our wedding playlist was hands down one of the most important things to us. Justin was wonderful to work with - from our first call he was super thorough. He took the time to under...
stand our personal style and preferences, and was able to seamlessly blend our "must-plays" with his own selections to create a perfect playlist (everything from Motown hits, to classic rock, to Tom Misch). He had the perfect demeanor as an emcee and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all night. Last but not least, he was key in helping me pull off a surprise performance for my wife at our reception. Can't recommend Justin enough!
We were lucky to have Justin DJ our wedding in June 2021. Even before the big day, he was thorough in listening and capturing our vision of what we wanted our music and vibe for th...
e wedding. Justin did a phenomenal job DJ'ing the day of the wedding - he really knocked it out of the park! Justin read the crowd and had fun with the music, which is exactly what we wanted. His passion for music and bringing people on the dance floor really showed. We would definitely recommend Justin Raymund Deejays to anyone looking for DJ services in the future!
Justin was amazing! We had to change our date due to Covid many times and our original DJ had a conflict. Justin stepped in about a month in advance and it could not have worked ou...
t better. It was like we had been planning it with him the whole time. He really understood our vision and helped us curate an event that was a perfect mix of songs and music meaningful to us mixed with music that would appeal to our crowd and set the right mood. Almost all of our 100 guests of all ages commented on how great the music was. Everyone was dancing non-stop. We even had a slight hiccup ending the night due to the Bryant park tree delivery impacting our send off and Justin seamlessly rolled with it to ensure we still had our moment. Justin was a true pleasure, with an excellent musical skill set as well as understanding wedding needs. I highly recommend working with him!
Justin was an amazing DJ for our rehearsal dinner! He was so professional leading up to the event-- we had a few phone calls with him to discuss our vision and get his input on wha...
