DjKj was as delightful and helpful in everyway that he could possibly be. We are extremely pleased with how well the planning and performance of his duties were organized and executed. The display and sound were excellent quality. He had a positive and optimistic approach during all our interactions with him. I will encourage any friend or family looking for an entertainer to book with DjKj. Early booking gave us the best deal. His manager was courteous and covered a majority of the booking details prior to us getting to the final stages.
We had a great experience with DJ KJ at our wedding- I think he understood our music tastes, and he did an amazing job reading the crowd and adapting to the vibe of the evening. We highly recommend DJ KJ for anyone looking for a talented DJ for their wedding.
My wedding was on September 7th, 2024. I have been trying to discuss what happened with the company before posting a review, but the meeting keeps getting pushed back, and it has been almost two months since my wedding. Now, I have not heard back from them at all in over two weeks. My husband, myself, our parents, guests, and even other vendors were not thrilled with our assigned DJ.
One positive was the timely setting up of the date and payment for this service. The DJ was nice but that was it.
Before our wedding, we filled out the required document with all our songs, and other information and even gave a Spotify list.
-The DJ was confused about the songs to play during the wedding ceremony. even though we provided them in our meeting and on the Spotify list
-he kept bothering the bride and groom while they were getting ready to walk down the aisle and had numbers for the day of coordinator and MOH.
-not confident that he was going to play the right songs down the aisle, The photographer said he did mess up and played the bride's song while the party was still walking down
-we specifically asked for the longest marriage dance. did not do that. stated: "he knows how to keep the party going and people dancing..."
-we gathered requests beforehand did not follow our prewritten guidelines for songs and hardly played anything we wanted or asked for.
-we stated no song request he took some but told others no as they "weren't" dancing songs
-didn't play a slow song for over 2 hours, our photographer waited patiently (overtime) for one to play.
-other vendors heard him say "Now I can pay my rent with this"
**- did NOT tell us he was bringing a plus one, we account for just him and he brought his wife.
-he showed up with a bunch of CDs but said he was experienced for 15-plus years but the music transitions were choppy
-the bride (myself) had to go up and ask for more slow songs, the DJ wasn't playing any.
Many of our guests have negative comments about it, and to be honest I am upset about this as well. The whole situation was bothersome.
Any questions?
We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire KJ as our wedding DJ. From start to finish, he exceeded our expectations in every way. KJ was not only professional but also incredibly dedicated, hustling the entire time to ensure everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail and perfect timing kept the flow of the day on point, and his constant communication with the other vendors made the entire event seamless.
The energy KJ brought was truly unmatched—he read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor alive all night long. Our guests raved about the music, and we were beyond thrilled with how he made our special day even more memorable. If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond, KJ is the one. Thank you, KJ, for making our wedding an unforgettable celebration!
Simple and smooth experience with DJ KJ Entertainment. He fulfilled every request with effective communication. Glad we chose the premium package because he remedied some situations we wouldn’t have been aware of previously. Professional and fun all in the same friendly manner. Excellent lighting and dance effects. Music control and emcee delivery were on point.
DJ KJ was AMAZING to work with! We DIY'ed a lot of our wedding and we didn't have a wedding coordinator, but DJ KJ helped to ensure that the day went by smoothly. He came early to set up all the equipment, including the outdoor equipment since our ceremony was outdoors. During the ceremony, he played the right songs at the right times and the sound from the mic and the music came through clearly. During the reception, I just gave him our wedding schedule for the night and he was the perfect emcee! He kept everyone on track and informed, which was great because that meant that I didn't need to keep track of the events for the night and I could just enjoy! The best part about working with him by far, though, was that he was an AMAZING DJ!! We had a packed dance floor all night long! He was great at reading the crowd and if it seemed like people weren't vibing with a song, he would just transition seamlessly into another one. By the end of the night, we had so many people come up to us telling us how great he was and how much fun they had! I highly recommend booking DJ KJ for your wedding!!
I was very pleased with my choice. They were Very professional and polite. They took care of everything and made the night very entertaining.
Very professional and friendly. I love the team and have very good experience.
