Chris is absolutely amazing! My husband and I have been to the funnest weddings with him as a DJ..we loved him so much that we asked him to travel to Boston on NYE for our wedding which simply could not have been a better decision! Our guests have been raving about him since - the dance floor never stopped! He chose all the right music and made sure we had a blast. We also used his services for a photo booth and uplighting - both amazing touches. Everything he did was fun, easy, and super personalized. Our wedding was as fun as it was because of him! We highly recommend Chris for your next event!
Oh man where do we start! First off if you don’t hire Chris as your DJ you are doing it WRONG. He is absolutely AMAZING.
We first met Chris at one of our friends weddings 4 years ago and I remember my now husband turning to me and saying “when we get married he will be our DJ” sure enough 4 years later he was our DJ and it was one of the best decisions we made. Chris has done majority of our friends weddings and every time he absolutely crushes it up there.
Our one request for Chris was we wanted people to basically never leave the dance floor. I can’t even count how many times someone has mentioned our dance floor at our wedding. It was PACKED all night long, it was everything we wanted and could’ve asked for. He truly made our wedding a night that my husband and I and our guests will never ever forget. We would recommend him a million times to absolutely every single person.
Thank you so much Chris and his assistant for truly making our night so incredible!!!
Chris was absolutely fantastic in every way possible. During our planning process he answered all our questions, was supportive of every choice and even allowed us to add something last minute! He was calm, patient, so genuine, and brought all the energy we needed to our wedding day! We knew music was important to us as well as our families and he blew us away. He is beyond talented and truly got the party GOING! There were people that did not leave our dance floor and we had guests that mentioned it was the best wedding dj they have ever experienced. My husband and I have to agree with that statement fully! I would recommend him to everyone and anyone! Thank you so much, again, Chris! I
Any questions?
Chris is the absolute best!! Leading up to your big day he was so responsive in answering our questions and putting us at ease with any concerns we had.
The day of our wedding he absolutely delivered and CRUSHED our dance floor! We haven’t stopped getting feedback from our family and friends on good of a DJ we had. His mixes and transitions were seamless and kept the dance floor filled all night!
Thank you Chris for making our wedding an EPIC night to remember!
DJ Chris was truly outstanding. We had met with several DJs before him, but Chris was the first who completely understood our vision. He was always accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure every request was met. One of the highlights was when he helped my husband fulfill his dream of doing NBA-style intros for his groomsmen—a personal touch that made the night even more special.
Chris knew how important music was to us and made sure our preferences were woven seamlessly throughout the night. This was no small feat, especially since we had a multicultural wedding with diverse musical traditions. Even when we asked him to venture outside of his usual playlist, he was eager and open to making it happen. On the night of the wedding, he mixed everything flawlessly, keeping the dance floor packed all evening. It was a night filled with incredible energy, and Chris was a huge part of that magic.
Chris was our wedding DJ at Brown’s Revolution Hall and absolutely nailed it (by far the best choice we made for our wedding)! We had a couple of unique songs and events we wanted included in our day, and he sat down with us to help plan everything out. He was reassuring, professional, and his expertise was invaluable! Entertainment at our wedding was perfect. Everything flowed perfectly and he was a huge help in planning the day of logistics and order of each ceremonial event! He also kept the party going all night!
We couldn't be happier that we chose Love of Music for our wedding. Chris seamlessly collaborated with the band we hired, and the results exceeded our expectations. We were initially unsure how it would all come together, but Chris nailed it. We're still receiving texts from guests raving about our DJ! We highly recommend using Chris and Love Of Music!!
Chris was absolutely AMAZING!!!! We hired him for our wedding reception and it was the best decision we could have made. His attention to detail and reading the room was perfect! We had the dance floor rocking all night long! LITERALLY!! He played exactly what we were looking for, and we received so many compliments on how great our dj was! He is super super super nice and so easy to work with. We also added in the Photo Booth with our dj package!! So much fun! My husband and I could relive our night over and over it was an absolute blast thanks to Chris!!
Chris was the DJ for our wedding. He was amazing, everyone was on the dance floor all night and couldn’t stop talking about the music! I would recommend him for any even you are planning!!
So happy my wife and I decided to hire Chris for our wedding reception! He was professional, attentive, personable, knowledgeable & most of all ... he CRUSHED our reception. He had the dance floor PACKED all night! We also used his Photo Booth & Uplighting services which were a big hit. If you're looking for a DJ who's going to go above and beyond on your special day, do not look any further ... Hire Chris right now! You definitely won't be disappointed!
Chris did our wedding & it was better than my wife & I could have ever expected. The dance floor was ful the entire night! Chris is a great guy and is top notch at what he does! You will not be disappointed!!
When my husband and I were planning our wedding Chris and his team came HIGHLY recommended to us from a few couples and we are SO thankful we went with him. He and his team did not disappoint. The dance floor was full all night long, he was easy to work with, and very accommodating. Not to mention when I first called Chris asking him about different venues and idea for a wedding he was nothing but kind and honest with all questions I had! Couldn’t recommend him enough and can’t wait to attend a wedding in October where he’ll be!
So happy to have gone with Chris as our wedding DJ. I do not have enough great things to say about him and his team. I told him we wanted our reception to feel like a big party and he DELIVERED! We had a packed dance floor the whole night and everyone had such a good time. Multiple guests have told us that they have never seen so many people on the dancefloor at a wedding. When going through our reception video clips, you can hear me say multiple times, “he gets my vibe” and he really does. He made sure to talk to us prior to our wedding to get to really know us and know what we wanted out of our night and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. We got the sparklers through him and it was such a fun addition. It made our entrance and first dance pop! These were also super fun once the dancefloor opened up and everyone loved them. We also used the digital photobooth from him and this speaks for itself. Always such a fun time and our guests loved it. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone who asks us and cannot thank him enough! I cannot wait to go to weddings where he is DJing in the future!
DJ Chris is a must to have at your wedding. Not only does he get the party started (and keep it going), he is extremely professional, caring and accommodating. You can tell he truly cares about making sure his clients have the best night of their lives. He played at our wedding as well as my sister in-laws and hopefully will play at another family wedding soon. We can't thank Chris enough for all that he did to make sure our special day was perfect. Book him as soon as you get engaged!!
Chris is the DJ you NEED to go with!!!! He is so easy to work with and exceeded our expectations. We would look out at the tables at our wedding from the Dance-floor and no one would be sitting at them. It was impossible to leave the Dance-floor. Chris just kept playing to the crowd and played banger after banger. It has been days since our wedding and I am still getting text messages from people saying they cannot believe how great of a DJ we had and that it is the best DJ they have ever seen at a wedding before. If you are going to splurge on anything for your wedding, this needs to be what you splurge on. This was worth every penny. Chris made sure to create a fun party atmosphere where it was almost impossible to resist dancing. I cannot express well enough in writing how great of an experience this was.
If you are even considering booking Chris for your wedding, do not hesitate just do it! While planning our June 2023 wedding we attended a friends wedding that Chris was the DJ at. Having seen him in action we instantly knew that we had to have him for our own wedding. We got his info at the end of the night and booked with him the next business day! Chris was so easy to work with and really listened to what we had envisioned for our special day! When we had a special request to do a mash up of two songs he worked diligently to really perfect the transition. The ceremony music was beautiful and the dance floor was packed the entire night! Hands down the best dance party of our entire lives! We have received so many compliments from family and friends on the music from our wedding! Thank you Chris for exceeding our expectations!!
Incredible from first meet to last dance. I’ve worked over 200 weddings and attended plenty. To be able to say I had the best dj is an incredible feeling, no regrets. 100% the go to. Fairly priced, fun, responsive, flexible. The King.
We hired Chris for our July 2023 wedding and he was hands down the best decision we made when it came to choosing a DJ for our wedding. Chris is much more than your average DJ, before we even booked Chris he took the time out of his day to have a phone call for us to chat to get to know eachother and what we were looking for our wedding. Chris is extremely personable and I knew right away that he would make our wedding a night to remember. As we got closer to our wedding day Chris took the time to meet with us in person to review every detail of our ceremony and reception. He even called me the day before to see if we had any last minute questions or changes. On our wedding night the dance floor was PACKED. Chris even surprised us with an engagement picture and lyrics to our first dance displayed at the front of his DJ booth which was such a nice touch. Our guests are still raving about him and recently engaged friends are asking for his contact info because he was THAT good. We added the cold sparks which were also a huge hit and the highlight reel Chris and his team puts together is the cherry on top of everything else he did for us! Look no further than DJ Chris Johnston!!
If you are thinking about hiring Chris to DJ your wedding/event, DO IT! He was so amazing from the second we hired him. We were able to fill out “must play lists” and “do not play lists” in addition to having meetings with him to describe the vibe we wanted for our wedding. Chris created the perfect combination of music for all generations to enjoy and dance to. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and never cleared once. Additionally, his photo booth and cold sparkler add ons were a huge hit! The highlight reel he created from the night was amazing and captured some of the best moments on the dance floor. Friends and family have not stopped talking about the music at our wedding all thanks to him! Thanks Chris for making our wedding day amazing!
Would highly recommend hiring DJ Chris for your wedding! He was so easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions leading up to our event. He had our guests out on the dance floor the entire evening and everyone had such a great time. You know it’s a good party when hardly anyone is seated at the tables and we had multiple people rave about the great music selection.
Hiring Chris was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding reception. From the first time I spoke with him on the phone I knew it would be a stress-free experience for me because he is so on top of planning the event even a year out. He kept the dance floor packed all night and played hit after hit while perfectly keeping in mind our music preferences. From age 5 to 85, everyone was on the dance floor. He even had people up and dancing during dinner!! He listened to all of our preferences and then exceeded our expectations. BOOK HIM!!
Chris was not only amazing to work with but truly was the BEST DJ I’ve ever experienced at a wedding. I hope he’s the DJ at every wedding I attend from here on out. He was so great to plan with and really listened to and respected our weird requests and made adjustments where he felt they were needed. So many people came up to us and told us how much they loved him the night of our wedding. I’m so happy we booked with Chris, he helped make our night the best ever. Thank you Chris!!!
I wish there was a way to give Chris 5 million stars because that's what he deserves! Chris was BEYONDDDD amazing and literally gave my husband and I the BEST wedding ever! We had so many people reaching out to us after saying he was the best DJ they've ever seen! When planning, we wanted all of our guests to be dancing all night, and let me tell you... every single person was on that dance floor ALL NIGHT! He played the exact music we wanted, and was amazing at reading the crowd. Our dance floor was so packed that people were spilling into the tables and still dancing! Chris was also the sweetest human to work with! He was very chill and he felt like one of our friends. If you want the ABSOLUTE BEST DJ who will keep your crowd going for HOURS, Chris is your guy!!!!! My husband and I both said we are going to miss working with him because he was so much fun! Thank you so much Chris for making our night the most amazing night of our lives!
DJ Chris was the most EPIC DJ at our wedding. He guided us with ease into the music process of the
wedding. If you're looking for a DJ, look no further! We had people on the dance floor for 3+ hours
STRAIGHT!! The music was incredible and Chris mixes songs perfectly. He made us feel confident and
supported the entire day. As a bride, seeing his face before walking down the aisle and having him
whisper "you got this" was exactly what I needed to ease the nerves! Chris, you are truly the Beyoncé of
DJ's!!
DJ Chris was absolutely awesome to work with! He is very knowledgeable, not only about music, but about the way a wedding should flow in general. He had great ideas and was receptive to our vision for the day. He kept the dance floor packed all night and all of our guests raved about him. My mom felt he was one of the most helpful people there supporting us that night. We would highly recommend DJ Chris!
Chris was our DJ for our wedding this December and he was fantastic. Not only did he play great music but he helped create a great father daughter dance song. He also kept us calm and checked on us throughout the night. Thank you Chris for being apart of our special night! I will definitely recommend Chris if someone is Looking for a DJ.
Chris was our favorite vendor to work with. He was extremely organized and helpful in our planning process, quick to respond to emails when I had questions or updates and accommodating when it came to requests for the big day. After initially consulting with Chris a year before our wedding, I told him I was thinking of a song for the father/daughter dance but wasn’t sure of the length and didn’t particularly like a verse in the song. He ended up sending me an edited version of the song that same night after meeting before I even signed the contract with him. Chris goes above and beyond, and he made our day so special. The dancefloor was full from start to finish, my family even asking for an encore. He played the few songs we asked for and knew how to get the crowd pumping. I especially appreciated Chris eye to detail. My fiancé’s family is Slovakian, so a lot of his family name intros were tough to pronounce. Chris asked a few different times how to pronounce everything to make sure he got it just right. Thank you for everything, Chris – it was an absolute pleasure working with you!
CHRIS IS AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about him and his team. I first heard him at a friend's wedding and knew immediately I had to have him at my own - he is an expert at setting the right vibe, assessing the mood of the room, and pumping up the party! My dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT. He DJ'ed for my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and was the perfect emcee. Not only is he an amazing DJ, but he is also the utmost professional - every single time I reached out to him with a question or comment, he would give me a call and talk through my thoughts! I can't wait to recommend him to every single person I can!!
DJ CJ! The star the of the show (minus the Bride and Groom of course)! I can’t say enough great things about Chris. Picking a DJ that you have never heard in person prior to your wedding can be a bit intimidating, but we were so impressed by Chris’s professionalism. He allowed us to give him a playlist during cocktail hour, as well as request our top songs to be played throughout our special night. He absolutely nailed each song! Our guests of all ages are still texting us a few later reminiscing on how awesome our dance floor was. Chris was front and center entertainment and truly exceeded expectations. Prior to the event during our final meeting, we mapped out when the speeches, first dance songs and announcements would go. He kept our schedule to a T, which can be difficult with so much action going on! I also want to praise him for the special touches like the cold sparklers that erupted during our first dance, and throughout the night! Everyone loved them! The photobooth, as always, was a huge hit! We were so excited to get all that footage the day after. So many awesome memories were made, if you are reading this review and are on the fence about hiring Chris to be your DJ, just do it!!! Thank you, Chris, for making our wedding night truly unforgettable! 😊
Chris was AMAZING!! We told him that we wanted everyone on the dance floor as much as possible, and he truly delivered. He is GREAT at reading the room and playing music that will be something for everyone. Even my grandmother was dancing away! He was always responsive to my (many) emails, and was just a pleasure to be around. Our amazing night was definitely made possible by the amazing music fueling the dance floor!!
I'd like to start out by saying I think I've only left less than 5 reviews on anything my entire life, however, I absolutely could not help it when it came to Chris. He is absolutely TOP TIER. He has a real gift when it comes to mixing music, reading the crowd, and keeping guests on their feet the entire night. He is extremely professional and communicated with my fiance and I during the weeks and months leading up to the wedding to ensure we got exactly what we desired. My guests were in complete awe of Chris. We even extended our time with Chris because our entire guest list was still ripping up the dance floor! 10000% recommend this man!!! You will not regret it I promise!
I’m not from the capital region so when it came to picking vendors I had to trust the reviews I read online. All of the reviews for Chris are 100% accurate!! Chris is an amazing DJ and I highly recommend hiring him. While planning he was always extremely quick to respond and happily answered all of my questions. All of the music he played at my wedding was amazing!! Everyone was dancing the entire night. My guests raved about the music. I can’t recommend enough!
Chris was fantastic and had everyone on the dance floor the whole night!!!! Guests said his music made them get up and dance! Chris was very easy to work with and kept the party going. We had a few requests that he played and created a fun playlist for the rest of the night. I would recommend the tower sparklers as well. They were a crowed stopper and added the perfect touch!
Chris and his assistant Dan were both SO amazing on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, Chris was quick to respond to any emails and questions we had. He was extremely helpful with planning our ceremony and reception songs, since my husband and I were both so indecisive about our song choices! His Spotify has a variety of options to choose from that were super helpful.
Our dance floor was packed the entire wedding night! Chris played a combination of music to please the older crowd as well as the younger crowd. My mother in law actually said to us on the phone, “I’ve never been to a wedding where there was that much dancing and that many people on the dance floor!” Thank you so much for everything Chris!
DJ Chris and his assistant, Dan, were absolutely phenomenal! Courteous, personable, professional, communicative and most importantly, excellent at getting people dancing! Any time we had a question, he was quick to respond and always made himself available in case we needed a quick phone call. On our big day, Chris sought us out, introduced himself and his assistant, and was very communicative during every phase of the day; from the ceremony to the reception, down to when it was time to really pump up the music, and when we were nearing the end of the night. Our venue even mentioned they are going to add them to their list of recommended vendors! Another plus was that our Photographer had worked a wedding with Chris before, and he was highly recommended by her.
We had a vision in mind for our ceremony, and they absolutely nailed it! We were so thrilled by how smooth everything went, it couldn’t have been more perfect. As for the reception, many people at our wedding were raving about the great selection of songs, and how well they transitioned from one to the next. We are so thankful for finding Chris, and would recommend him and his team in a heartbeat!
We LOVE DJ Chris! From the start, Chris was always super responsive and answered the many (and I mean many) questions I had within a 24 hour time period. When we first met Chris via Zoom (thanks COVID!), we immediately knew he had to be our DJ. His energy is contagious and he truly knows his music. At our wedding, there was not a single lull on the dance floor thanks to his mixing. Most importantly he stuck to our playlist! He also surprised us with some video footage from the dance floor and we were extremely grateful. I would recommend or hire DJ Chris again in a heartbeat!!!
We hired Chris for our wedding this past December. From start to finish, Chris was always there to answer any questions and put my mind at at ease. Chris played all the best music and kept the dance floor full. I know this is sometimes hard to accomplish with a small wedding like ours was. I received compliments all night about what a great DJ we picked. I will recommend him to everyone that needs to hire a DJ, as I can’t say enough good things about him.
My husband and I could not be more thrilled that we chose DJ Chris as our wedding music vendor. I wish anyone reading this review could have been a fly on the wall for our dance floor - the energy was off the charts and the guests did not want to leave the dance floor because of Chris’s amazing mixing and music choices!! He was extremely organized with his planning in the months leading before the wedding and found a way to hit all of our music tastes - from the oldies to EDM to hip hop - he can do it all! Chris also surprised us with an incredible video screen booth that featured photos of my husband and I and a quote from our first dance song. Chris literally thinks of it all!!! I cannot recommend him enough, we are so grateful he made our reception be even more amazing than we ever imagined!!!!!
If Chris is available for your wedding date, you simply must book him. He is incredibly organized and professional, and gives you access to this portal to help organize the ceremony and reception music, which we found super helpful. He is very responsive to messages. He was so flexible and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. Whenever we met, you could tell he totally knew what he was doing, and was helpful in providing suggestions whenever we were being indecisive (e.g. we didn't want to do walk-in intros to the reception and he came up with a very thoughtful idea where my dad did the welcome and invited my husband and I to our first dance, which was so cute). And he NAILED IT with the music for the reception. We and most of our guests we dancing pretty much the whole time (until midnight!). Everyone had an amazing time and many commented on how great the music was. He did a great job combining music for both the younger and older end of the spectrum. Chris will be your favorite vendor, he is the best, BOOK HIM IF YOU CAN.
Stop scrolling and hire Love of Music now, you will not regret it!
I saw DJ Chris at two weddings prior to my own and I knew he was the perfect DJ for my wedding as well. He has this amazing ability to read the room and select the perfect mixture of songs to keep everyone happy and on the dance floor. I was worried because we had invited an older crowd but during our pre-wedding meeting he quelled all my worries about satisfying my needs for “2010 college jams” and songs that will get everyone up and moving. Chris was great from our initial conversation over the phone to the last song on our wedding night. Chris has a great personality and it was so fun to see the videos his assistant recorded of the dance floor! You really can’t go wrong with Love of Music
My husband tom and I cannot thank Chris enough for the most amazing wedding day!! From the moment we spoke on the phone I knew he was kind, genuine and truly loves what he does. He was on top of everything without me having to ask! He made us feel so comfortable and our reception went so smoothly thanks to him. He kept our dance floor packed from beginning to end! Even when we were supposed to be eating! He took our requests and then put his own spin on it and it was awesome! He even made us a special monogram with our photos as a surprise just to make us feel special! I have received nothing but compliments that it was the best wedding DJ people have ever seen. I am constantly getting asked for his information. If you our looking for your wedding dj look no further and just pray he isn’t already booked! Thank you again Chris!!!!
Look no further! Chris is the DJ you want! He was the DJ for our friends wedding, and after that we knew we wanted him at ours as well!
He's responsive, funny, and super accommodating. He went along with my crazy ideas, precise moment of a song I HAD to walk down the isle to, and went along with any last second changes with out a blink of an eye. Everyone talked about the wedding and how upbeat and happy our DJ was. Our phone call leading up to the wedding put me at complete ease and I had zero worries. He really is the best!
Easiest and best decision that we’ve ever made! Chris was absolutely amazing at our wedding!! He understood our vision right from the beginning and delivered more than we could have imagined. We didn’t leave the dance floor the entire night and multiple guests said to us that he was the best DJ they’d heard at a wedding in awhile. If you’re on the fence, think no further. Chris will make sure that your wedding is everything you want and more.
I truly cannot say enough good things about DJ Chris! First, he is extremely responsive and made me very at ease during the planning process. We had many last minute changes because of covid, and DJ Chris was very adaptable and worked with us the entire way. The music was AMAZING… the dance floor was packed the entire night. I loved that transitions that Chris did to maximize the songs played. He was spot on with song selection! I had so many guests come up to me at the end saying that our DJ was great and kept the party going through the night! Chris also made the music personable and added a bonus slow song at the end that my fiancé and I wanted. A friend of mine in attendance, who is getting married soon, asked for his card because she loved the music so much. I could go on and on. Bottom line: if you are looking for a GREAT DJ to play songs to dance the night away to, Chris is your man!
Honestly, it doesn’t get better than him! He was AMAZING and the dance floor was completely packed the entire night. We had SO many guests asking about him and saying that he was the best DJ they’ve ever heard. He was very helpful and accommodating throughout the entire planning process and even kept checking in with us on the day of the wedding. If you are looking to party and dance all night long… hire him!!!... you won’t regret it!
Chris was amazing to work with! He not only played the best songs and got the party going, but also ran the night so smoothly. Our guests all commented on how much fun they had and how they never wanted to leave the dance floor. I highly recommend using Chris’ services for your big day!
Chris was so wonderful to work with! Our wedding changed drastically due to Covid, but Chris was able to provide us with a full afternoon of music that really catered to the few important guests we had in attendance. Chris is really great at understanding the music you and your guests are looking to hear. If we had been able to have a full night of dancing, I know Chris would have made it an absolute blast! We definitely highly recommend Love of Music!
Love of Music is a must have at your events. Chris is great to work with and will curate the event of your dreams, as he absolutely did so with our wedding. Although our wedding was subject to the COVID dance restrictions, he did a great job making sure our guests were singing along and having a great time all night long. Plus, his firework fountains made for some of our favorite pictures of the night! A great individual and a great professional, book him!
Response from the Vendor on 01/19/2021
Thank you Jaycee!! It was a great getting to know you & Eric and it was an honor to be a part of your celebration!!
I wish the two of you all the best in your life together!
I wish there were more stars to put for this review.
DJ Chris went above and beyond and made our wedding day the best day ever!
The communication from day one was nothing but the best. He always got back to us the day we had a question. With COVID, we decided to have a small wedding with 30 people, and switched venues, and that was not a problem with DJ Chris.
At our wedding, he was THE BEST MC, and the music flowed so well. We requested to have him stay for an extra hour because the party did not want to stop!
Thank you DJ Chris!!!
Chris was amazing!! He was personable and funny!!! We talked multiple times in the year leading up to the wedding, every once in awhile he would call or text just to check in. Chris was also the DJ for my sisters wedding three years ago. He remembered a while back we had some family health problems around my sisters wedding and check in to see if we needed anything. Chris even made me a fun father daughter dance mix tape for my dad and I.
I would recommend Chris to every couple!!
Chris is an absolute must have for your wedding or next private event. Due to covid 19 our wedding was postponed this year, but we decided to have a small intimate event this year for family only . Chris was there every step of the way and helped us make the best of a tough situation. Chris played at the bridal shower which was forced to be a drive by setting . His music made the day fun and memorable. He then played for our small intimate cermoney this year in which he got my 94 year old grandma in the dance floor ! Highly recommend and you will not be disappointed! Thanks again Chris for making memories!
Chris was easy to deal with, and did a great job keeping the dance floor packed. No complaints! He incorporated our songs into the mix, shot some great video, and was praised by many of our guests. He also seamlessly blended beats from classic rock to modern dance and country. Wouldn't have anyone else. Thanks Chris!
From the very start, I knew I was in good hands with Love of Music. The DJ, Chris, isn’t just someone pushing buttons hoping for a good time. Chris understands music. He understands the spirit of music and the vibe of people. It would be an understatement to say that my wedding was fun. He kept the right kind of music playing at the perfect times and the party stayed alive and booming until the very end! Chris accommodated our personalities perfectly with his vast knowledge of the world of music. Our meetings with him were fantastic as well. His down-to-earth personality and professional attitude will leave you calm and comfortable. If you have any special requests, Chris is willing to listen and take what you say to heart. He makes choosing music for your special day smart and enjoyable.

Love of Music (Albany, NY) - Chris Johnston - My husband and I are from Long Island, so you can imagine the struggle we had trying to find the perfect DJ for our upstate brewery wedding. We came across Chris's page and immediately emailed him. Once we heard some samples, we knew he was the one we needed to use. He came to meet us at the brewery when we came to see the venue again and he blew us out of the water. Everything he said was exactly what we wanted. He really understood our vision. Chris is not just a DJ but hes such an amazing producer and it definitely showed at the wedding! He had everyone on the dance the entire night! He knew when to play each song and knew when to slow things down. He's not an MC where he talks in the mic the whole night - he stays right behind the booth (which is exactly ehat we were looking for). We loved that he was just as excited as we were. Chris is such a great guy and we would recommend him to ANYONE!
Attended my best friend's wedding this past weekend as a bridesmaid. Once that dance floor opened up, NO ONE LEFT IT. Chris was an awesome DJ and created the best wedding party I've ever seen. So much fun!
If you're looking for a DJ to keep your dance floor packed all night and make it easy to work with him look no further than Love of Music! Chris is the absolute best. We had various phone calls throughout the whole process, which kept me informed and also gave me reassurance of our choice. He absolutely delivered on the genre of music we had asked for. He made sure to mix it up throughout the night and gave us seamless transitions. One guest said "not one bad song played" which was 100% true. It was nice to not have to worry about a thing from the beginning because I knew he had our back. He makes you laugh, amps up the wedding party and brings an awesome crew to assist him. What more can I say but if you haven't booked yet go ahead and do so!
Chris seriously knocked it out of the park! The hubbs and I are big EDM fans, but we know we probably shouldn't play hardcore EDM at our wedding as most people wouldn't know any of the songs. Chris worked with us to find the best remixes to pop songs that everyone would know, but would still have that dance music flair we were looking for. He really saw our music vision - from the beginning of the ceremony down to the very last song of the night! I had people come up to me afterward and say "I haven't danced like that in years!". It was the absolute perfect night :D
Chris was THE BEST.
He was great in the planning process--quick to respond and helpful with everything we needed. I had a few specific requests that I was very straight forward about, and he was super accommodating and willing to do what was important to us. He was also willing to be honest about our ideas based on his professional experience, which we valued, because we wanted our people to have a good time! He brought a number of suggestions that elevated the experience for all of our guests and wedding party. The actual dancing was incredible. He had a really good mix of old and new songs that everyone enjoyed, and he knew how to keep our people energized and play off the energy in the room. We didn't leave the dance floor the entire night. I was undoubtedly more picky about this aspect of my wedding than anything else, and Chris totally delivered. 10/10 would recommend.
Honestly, DJ Chris is the best! He just gets it. The dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT. All of our guests have not stopped messaging us about how awesome DJ Chris was!
He also was very responsive which as a bride is important!! He would respond to emails quickly and checked in regularly!
If you’re on the fence, JUST BOOK HIM.
DJ Chris was amazing .From the very first day we spoke all the way through our wedding day, Chris was extremely professional, accommodating and fun to work with. We had some last minute requests and Chris was able to take care of them without question. He had the dance floor packed the entire night!! It was so much fun and I would HIGHLY recommend using DJ Chris for your wedding.
Chris was a fantastic DJ! He kept our dance floor filled all night with great music that kept pulling people in! Not only was the party great, but he helped guide everyone through whole event from the ceremony to cocktail hour to our sparkler send off at the end of the night. The night flowed so well thanks to Chris and his team! Our friends enjoyed it so much they tried to book Chris that night for their upcoming wedding!
I can't agree more with all of the great reviews. Best DJ!
Thank you Chris!
Chris is nothing short of amazing. From our very first phone call with him to the talent he showcased at our reception. My husband and I were on the dance floor the whole night, including our guests! He was able to understand the vibe we were going for during dinner and then transition smoothly into a more upbeat tone so that everyone was willing to show off their dance moves. He really keeps the party going, and my husband and I could not have been happier. He really is one of a kind! Our guests keep asking for his information and can't stop complimenting us on our choice in DJ's. You will not go wrong with Chris, and with any event you choose him for it will be top of the line, and the party will not stop. Chris, Mike and I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work!
Chris did an amazing job throughout the whole wedding especially when it was time to hit the dance floor! He had the dance floor packed and everyone had an amazing time! Chris really listened to us and fully understood the vibe we wanted and it showed on our wedding night!
DJ Chris Johnston created an amazing set directly centered around our and the bulk of our guests' tastes. He worked with us to coordinate introductions, first dances and is truly a DJ who knows what he is doing - mixing songs from a variety of genres and showing his talent as a DJ who knows how to work the crowd. We wish he had recorded the set he did for the reception as it was LIT - with guests doing a group crab dance to merengue later on in the night. THANK YOU!
Our team of vendors was incredible, but it may have been Chris who got the most compliments from our guests! Though this review is long overdue, people are still letting us know what a great time they had at our reception, singling out how great they thought Chris was and how much fun they had.
Leading up to the big day, Chris meets with you several times to discuss your musical tastes and is incredible at coordinating requests from both the bride and the groom. If you have a band or song you like, Chris knows how to work it into the lineup and his knowledge and experience of how to please a crowd should not be overlooked.
At our reception, once Chris took over the mic, we were immediately at ease and his professional and affable demeanor set the right tone for the rest of the night.
He has a knack for taking the temperature of the room and easily adapts to any situation, making sure the dance floor is packed the entire time. This is not a guy who sets up a predetermined playlist and checks out, but instead, he remains engaged they entire time, mixing and matching, changing the pace and overall ensuring everyone is having a great time. No matter what your music taste or what you are looking for in a reception, we are confident Chris will be an excellent choice. Chris, thanks again for making our reception absolutely awesome.
Chris was amazing! Such a professional, but also a great guy. He made the entire process so easy! The dance floor at our wedding was packed ALL night and the music was always on. point. He kept the music versatile enough to please all guests and everyone kept saying how awesome of a DJ he was. We love to dance and it was important that we had a DJ that would keep the party going, and Chris delivered! Would HIGHLY recommend!!
First word that comes to mind; WOW. DJ Chris Johnson is the most professional and genuine person we’ve ever met. For our wedding, he went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations from start to finish! It was the most incredible experience. He was clear and concise in all of the planning. He walked us through everything from the very beginning and gave us a clear picture as to what to expect and when to execute. As an added bonus- his assistance gave us an outside look of our guest having a great night. His music lineup was a perfect fit for all ages. He blended all the music smoothly and kept the crowd going all night long! His energy and personality was of a natural born entertainer!! His setup was sleek and fit perfectly with the venue. great business man, highly recommend for any occasion. Thank you for ROCKING our wedding.
Chris was simply incredible. Thorough, efficient, and overall a great time. Dance floor was packed the entire night. Recommending to anyone who will listen!
We used him 5 years ago for our wedding and just used him recently for our baby shower. He is an excellent DJ. Very organized and really in tune to what the client really wants. He knows how to keep people on the dance floor and the party going to the end. I highly recommend him for any event you have.
Chris was the perfect DJ for our fall wedding! He was recommended to us by our venue and we couldn’t have been more happier with the choice. He is absolutely amazing!!! The dance floor was never empty and the transitions went so smoothly. He was so easy to work with and helped us getting through the stressful wedding planning. The lighting that he used was such a special touch to our wedding that I wouldn’t have been able to live without!! Highly recommended!!!
Chris was the absolute BEST! I am so happy we hired him for our wedding. He is so easy to work with, was always responsive, and is extremely professional. Not only did he create the flow of the wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly, he created the party and kept it going all night long. I told him that once the dance floor opens up, I don't want anyone leaving it, and he definitely made that happen. He mixes all his music and doesn't play anything corny, so it really was a party. I highly recommend Chris!
Chris was awesome to work with throughout the entire process, From initial phone call to make sure he was what we were looking for. To the random calls we asked of him to have to walk through some things.
The dance floor was never empty and everyone was upset when it was over. Definitely recommend to all of my family and friends!
Chris is THE DJ of all DJs. He played music at my sister’s wedding 4 years ago and I knew then and there that I wanted him to DJ at my wedding as well. Chris knows how to keep the party going. Plain and simple. He created an epic, seamless mix and also encouraged guests to make song requests. I couldn’t have asked for a more lively, entertaining reception. The dance floor was packed the entire night, which is exactly how my husband and I wanted to celebrate our special day!
Chris was the perfect DJ for our Lake Placid wedding in August! He is a true DJ that mixes in and out of songs seamlessly and knows how to keep people on the dance floor at all times. He is friendly, fun, and overall was so great around us and our guests the entire evening. His planning website and pre-wedding meetings with us were extremely helpful and made the entire process very easy on us. He gave great advice on how we could incorporate the wedding activities -- first dance, cake cutting, etc -- so everything would flow nicely into the dance portion of the reception. While we gave some must-play songs and provided a general idea of the music we were expecting, we mostly said "we trust you" and asked him to do his thing -- he nailed every part of the night, including the ceremony, intros, and keeping us on schedule, and we couldn't have been happier! Our wedding guests have been giving Chris nothing but compliments since and we have continued to hear that Chris was the best wedding DJ they've seen! We agree and cannot thank Chris enough for everything! We highly recommend him!
