About this vendor
Lazer Labs DJs are the best Wedding and event DJs in Louisville and the surrounding areas. We've been in business for over 30 years and provide the most talent, entertainment, and value to your special day. We love to display our professional sound systems, dance floor lighting, uplighting, Photo Booth, Ceremony packages, big screens, projectors, monogram lights, and more!
We encourage Brides & Grooms to visit the showroom, to meet us, share ideas, and learn about all of the possibilities for the wedding. Couples find the meeting very helpful in their planning. Many brides have told us, "It just like buying your wedding dress, you have to physically see it, put it on, to know if it’s the right dress for you". We feel the same about hiring DJ entertainment service. I can better assist you by a phone conversation if you would like more information.
Congratulations on your engagement. We are looking forward to meeting you. Doug Crawford (502) 419-1011.

Doug isn't bad at the act of DJing perse, but listening, preparing, customizing a night for wedding couple, and following through on requested material is a different story.
To Do...
ug's credit he agreed to take a smaller fee than what he said he is used too and he by no means spoiled our night. We didn't have time to break away and course correct him and we enjoyed our time with friends and family.
However, there were many aspects of his service that fell way short of our expectations for the night.
To begin with, we had gone to the trouble of filling out forms showing our requested songs, in addition to Doug's standard playlist, along with an outline for the evening. Apart from the ceremony music and the song we chose for our first dance, he appears to have thrown all our requests out or ignored them. We had deliberately chosen a few line dance songs such as "Men in Black" that we had our heart set on, and none were played.
We had our wedding on Halloween and requested some seasonal spooky favorites. We talked about this with him at length multiple times during our consultations. But none of these were played until we took it upon ourselves to tell him to play Thriller during the night of the event.
We had also talked with him about the traditional hora dance and provided him with a link to the version of accompanying song hava nagila we preferred. It was on the schedule but he also failed to initiate the hora until we told him to, which he did with a different song version than we requested. He also denied it was even on the agenda and was very rude to my mother when she told him it was needed.
We chose to include the shoe game and picked a script for our friends to read from. And Doug, of course, read from a different script by himself. We chose our own script questions to fit my wife and I because a standard selection isn't universal. For instance the question about who is the better driver, which Doug asked, is kinda dumb given that my wife doesn't drive...
My wife also insisted to him that we did not want an "anniversary dance" for the longest married couple at the reception but he went and did it anyway.
During our consultations Doug talked at length about the span of his experience and how he knows what works and what doesn't. I don't doubt he's been doing this a long time and he did share some valuable insights. However, while flashing his credentials initially gave us confidence, as we approached the wedding it became more of an annoying distraction.
He even turned down conducting with my wife about fine details in the days leading up to the wedding, saying it could wait. For God's sake, I even had to correct his pronunciation of my wife's name the day before.
Doug seems to be the kind of person often convinced he knows best, or rather better than others, even when he definitely does not. To an extent, parts of the evening felt more like "The Doug Show" (guest staring the bride and groom). Than the wedding we envisioned. A few of our friends in attendance recognized Doug from past events he's worked and seemed to confirm this kind of arrogance and disregard for client needs is typical for him.
I can't do my wedding again but save yourself some buyers remorse by not hiring him.
My husband and I got married earlier this month, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose Lazer Labs to DJ for our wedding! They took all the stress out of that part of our big day...
and handled absolutely everything. From the ceremony to the reception, everything went off without a hitch. Doug was great at keeping the party going at the reception, and all of my guests had so much fun with the photo booth too! Overall we just had an awesome experience, and I would definitely recommend to anyone out there looking for a DJ for any event!
I'm writing this review in regards to the experience that I've had with Laser Labs DJs services. We booked Lazer labs after seeing them perform at a friends wedding reception. They...
were great, far better than anything else that I had seen in the past.
Unfortunately, my ex-fiance called off the wedding 40 days until the event. That meant calling all of the vendors I was responsible for and giving them the news. I read over the contract and it was stated, "Cancellation of services less than 90 days from event date are still liable for full payment." That meant that I was still responsible for a thousand plus dollars.
I called and spoke with Doug. After explaining my situation, Doug replied "We do not like profiting from someone else's misfortune. In the future please go out and tell other couples about our services." We settled on the money owed! I was so relieved, I asked if there was something I could do. He said yes... "Writea review about your experience with us." So here it is... great DJ service and even better people.
My husband James & I got married on October 28, 2017. We had the best experience working with Doug Crawford & his company, Lazer Labs DJ’s & Photo Booths. Starting from our very fi...
rst meeting, he was very quick to respond to our online inquiry & allowed us to meet with him at his home showroom. We were amazed at the quality & quantity of his equipment as well as the knowledge he possessed to help us paint a picture of what our ceremony & reception would look like. We loved his personality, enthusiasm for his craft & eagerness to get to know us in order to pick the best music selections for us & our guests. With over 30 years of experience, he was not only able to share great ideas of things that have worked well in the past, but he was also very attentive to our preferences & incorporated everything together so beautifully. Doug & his assistant Jacob worked so well together the day of the wedding. We didn’t have to worry about a thing because they made sure the day flowed so smoothly, from the initial set up, to our ceremony & on to our reception. They were excellent at both coordinating all the wedding festivities (i.e. announcements & directing the fun wedding activities) & entertaining our guests. Our guests had the best time!!! We heard nothing but great reviews, from the song selections to his ability to keep the party going. And the lighting & special effects were awesome & created the perfect party atmosphere. Doug kept everyone on the dance floor the whole evening. Everyone still talks about how much fun they had at our wedding & reception. We would highly recommend Doug & his team & wouldn’t hesitate to call him again for another special event.
Doug was spectacular, and our guest really loved the Photo Booth! We really liked wedding trivia during dinner too! The music choices had good variety and we are very happy with th...

dding reception was amazing! Matt H. was our DJ, and he truly exceeded our expectations for the night! He played songs that we had previously requested, as well as his own selection of music, which our guests absolutely loved. In all seriousness, we were all sad when everything ended, but we owe a big THANK YOU to Lazer Labs for making our wedding reception a fantastic memory for everyone!
If you want a DJ who has unique ideas, knows how to keep the party going, and takes the time to make sure everything will be just right, hire Doug. We hired him for my brothers wed...
ding and frankly I wish I would've known about him for mine.
We met with 3 or 4 DJs but none were as fun or as knowledgeable as Doug. He walked us through all of the decisions we needed to make and what the evening would be like. The night o...
f there were a few glitches with mics not working but it all worked out. He gave us a lot of different cool ideas to make our reception special. He provided lighting and a photobooth as well.
everyone loved the photobooth it was a hit. will use again resonable price compaired to everyone else
He kept our reception flowing the entire time. The guests absolutely loved him. He was not the nicest to us and bride and groom and was very demanding. When you got him out of h...
is comfort zone he didn't do so well. Overall, the guests had a great time and that's what is important.
I would give zero stars if possible. Worst service I have ever received and frankly the worst reception I have ever been to. The music was not played during dinner. When it was att...
empted at our request, it was way too loud and the speaker was whining due to interference. The lights, music and sound system cut out at least twice if not more times, including right before the bouquet toss. First, they blamed the reception location, then a computer failure. They used CDs when I was told it was computer based, causing two minute delays between songs. The DJ literally told me he did not know how to use the equipment, placing blame on the company owner. The only decent songs were requested by us specifically, then when people did try to get on the dance floor, he would slow the music down. No new current music was played as requested. He mispronounced names during the introductions even though we went over them on the phone the week prior. He did not introduce the father daughter dance. He did not even ask what song we wanted to be introduced to. He talked way too much, interrupting the music and seemingly yelling at everyone. He was not professionally dressed, no suit. It was terrible and disappointed all of us.
Doug is awsome, he kept the party going all night, i would def recommend him!
Doug Crawford is the owner and main DJ will MANY years of experience. He has a knack for getting a feel or your intentions andinterests for the type of reception you are looking fo...
r. He read the crowd effortlessly and moved it along with such entertainment and flow. He absolutely amazed me with how he got family and guests to be very interactive but in a comfotable way for everyone, even the shy ones! Tthe dance floor was full and the music very varied to appeal to all guests. He guided the whole reception and I had to worry about nothing! Fun was had by all and even the uptight and shy ones were entertained and complimentary to the whole affair and DJ services! Lights were also such a fantastic display for the mood and atmosphere!
