MusiChris DJ and Lighting Service

. We were looking for somebody who would confidently and charasmatically drive the reception and take the stress off of us, and Chris somehow exceeded even our high expectations. Our friends and parents both loved his music selection (how is that possible?), and his recommendations turned the reception from your typical wedding party into an event with memories we will never forget. (Do the table release songs and the bride/groom game show, you won't regret it!) He has our absolute strongest recommendation. Thanks Chris!!!

for the ceremony, cocktails, dinner and then dancing. Chris coordinated and executed this movement flawlessly. Chris made sure that our day ran as smoothly as it possibly could have and kept our guests dancing and enjoying until the very end! We can't thank Chris enough for making our wedding day so perfect.

The extra uplighting he provided completely upgraded the look of our room where we had dinner. He ran us through a “photo dash” from table to table which my guests loved and had a lot of fun with. He held a constant presence where he could hold attention and control the crowd without being overbearing. And most importantly, we had the best dance party! He stuck to our must play and do not play list to a tee, threw in some fun Latin music for my husband’s family and stayed for an additional hour to keep the party going. Thank you Chris for helping to make our day so perfect!!

e ever been to - the DJ was excellent". He was always there in the weeks (and months) leading up to the wedding to calm our nerves, answer any questions, address any issues we thought may arise. He was really a take charge, hands-on kinda guy and boy did that prove to make all the difference. He is very fun and made everyone feel like he was there for them. He is top notch. Don't miss out on having him at your function. You will NOT be sorry!

n be so attentive, timely, and devoted to each event he works when he is clearly busy with events of all kinds, but he does it somehow. He produced our ceremony & reception timeline and I actually breathed a sigh of relief when I received it. You're probably planning a wedding if you're reading this, so you know how stressful those details can be. He will take your stress away. He even attended our rehearsal to make sure it ran smoothly. Not only this, but the lighting he provided for us was amazing and he kept the dancefloor packed until the last song. A master of his craft and the best in the Berkshires, hands down.

of the entire night! He even created our cocktail hour playlist using songs I put together on Spotify! I am very picky about music and He REALLY got the kind of taste we were into! The lights he put in were incredible! He knew when to speed things up and slow it down! Everyone loved the variety of songs and made the older and the younger crowd VERY happy! He made our ceremony and reception just perfect! We could NOT have been happier. I recommend to Everyone!! You will not be disappointed!

uote for us all on his own, got us a quote right away, and set up the lights perfectly and better than I even envisioned. He followed through with everything we discussed and both us and the venue had no problems at all throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend using him for your wedding!

l and in person up until our wedding day. Chris took a chance with us at an up and coming venue that was new to all of us. Not only did he DJ for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, he set up an enormous amount of pipe-and-drape to create more intimate spaces, he hung beautiful string lighting down our ceremony aisle, and he coordinated all vendors and kept us on track. His professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for what he does made for a smooth, stress-free wedding day and we can’t thank him enough!

nted DJ and MC. Our wedding day went soo smoothly thanks to Chris and it ended with all our guests dancing the night away!! To say it was perfect would be an understatement! Plus his lighting services were fantastic too! Thanks again, Chris, for your amazing service!! <3 Torie & Drew

packed. Before our wedding, we sat with Chris and let him know what kind of a crowd to expect, and he did a great job reading the crowd and playing songs that made everyone want to dance. He also did the lighting for our tent and did an amazing job. We had bistro lighting with white lanterns and it looked gorgeous! Plus he was one of the most reasonably priced lighting vendors we talked to. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ or more beautiful lighting.

y/do not play list. Not only did our guests have an absolute blast because he read them so well and played great music- but the staff at the Aqua Turf also complimented him as well!! HIGHLY recommend!!

y recommend!!

nding dance party at our wedding reception. Chris was very attentive to all of our needs to personalize our celebration. We HIGHLY recommend Chris for your special occasion! You will NOT be disappointed!

usic accordingly. He made transitions between music and wedding activities seamless, the lighting was amazing, and his photo dash idea was a hit! Highly recommended!

ur not , you will be. Things you wouldn't even think of Chris covers and helps you smoothly organize every important detail of how your ceremony and reception will flow. Chris is easy and fun to talk with and one heck of a DJ. All my guest where so impressed with him. I had people asking me for a week after "where did I find this guy"... he played great music for the whole crowd and got everyone dancing. He kept in contact with us and my caterer to be sure we where prepared for all that came that night. Chris Is professional, fun, kind, and organized. Which is so important for such a big day! We are 100% satisfied with the services we received. I interviewed several Djs before deciding on Chris. I am so glad we went with him and I truley suggest using him for your big day or any other occasion. A big thank you to Chris ! We are beyond grateful 💕

ong! In the planning process, Chris brought up things that I never would have thought to plan out, which made all the difference for our day to go smoothly. He sent us a very detailed worksheet to plan out our ceremony step by step, came to our rehearsal and did a walk through with the entire wedding party and provided us with an itinerary that we could send to the rest of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Chris also provided lighting services for us which made the reception tent look great and very elegant. Once the dancing portion of the night started, Chris continued to wow us. From the first song to the last, the party did not stop. He did a great job of playing newer, more popular songs to keep me happy, while mixing in a few older, classic songs that got the older crowd dancing as well. Throughout the whole process, he was so professional and easy to work with. Chris was happy to do what we wanted to make sure our day was exactly how we pictured it, but at the same time was a great source of advice when we were unsure about something. Looking back on our wedding, picking Chris as our DJ was the best decision we made. If he is available for your wedding, book him while you can!!!

d went even further by working on some of our special songs and getting them to the right points and length. We are truly very happy with our decision to have Chris Plankey as our DJ at our wedding in May 2017. We would recommend him very highly to anyone looking for DJ services. The night of our wedding there were no worries about everything happening on time. Chris ran the show for us so that we could just have a special night. A special thank you!

He was there BEFORE the contract and stayed much later to accommodate the party! AMAZING DJ and I will recommend him to everyone!!!! He is the best!!!!!!

dors with less than impressive response times but Chris was always the fastest to respond. He did everything he said he would do perfectly and our tent looked beautiful!

cts of the day. When the weather looked like it was going to be awful on the day Chris offered to bring free up-lighting for our tent to help with the ambiance. When it turned out the tent wasn't going to work at all because of the wind, he literally gave my fiancé the coat off his back so he could frantically move all of our decorations/arbor indoors for Plan C. He helped us set up indoors with very little notice and then put on a great dance party for the rest of the night. He was so thorough and professional that you could tell he was thinking about all the details even when we weren't. He made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible under the crazy circumstances. Chris was instrumental in creating a timeline for the event and sharing it with the venue so they could time the dinner service accurately. Even when it had to change last minute, it still ran so smoothly. On top of all his coordination, he is a great DJ! He played all the songs we wanted to hear and tons of people were dancing all night. People keep telling us what a great DJ he was. We are so thankful for Chris and his professionalism throughout our whole wedding day. I would recommend him to anyone in the area that needed a DJ.

c help during the rehearsal and during the entire wedding day. I felt like not only did we hire an awesome DJ but we hired a professional day of planner. All of my guests came up to me raving about how much fun they were having and how great the DJ was. I would hire him in a heart beat again! He truly was such an important part in our big day being so much fun and running so smoothly! He wore many hats for our day and really went the extra mile! I can't say enough good things about him! Seriously if you're looking for a DJ Hire Chris; you will NOT regret it!

flawless thanks to Chris. I would HIGHLY recommend him!

m Chris, as were our guests. He took all of our music tastes into consideration, custom edited our first dance song to a shorten version, and was uber organized and really ran the show. Without a wedding planner I was nervous I wouldn't be able to relax that day, but with Chris behind the scenes I really did!!! Thank you Chris!!!!

tting so much more than a professional and talented DJ. You are getting: - An organized, focused part of your big day that will help you think of details you never considered, and someone who assists in keeping your day moving; -A professional who will make sure he knows every single detail that you do want (and do not want), and the satisfaction of knowing all of those details will be followed to a T; -A kind and compassionate person who will be willing to brainstorm and problem solve anything you may want to figure out (in our case, this included some venue issues that had NOTHING to do with DJ services - he is really THAT helpful); -A DJ that will adapt his amazing skill set to any of your custom desires, and still have the foresight to fill in any musical missteps you yourself may not have accounted for; -And lastly, when everything is said and done, someone who contributed so much help and support to your huge day that you will want to call him a personal friend. That was the experience my wife and I had with Chris at our wedding a few weeks ago. We originally wanted to only rent equipment from him, but decided to hire him for the day-of, and we would have been completely lost without him! From meeting us at our VERY rural venue location months before our day to start planning, to showing up and needing no direction to kick things off on the day-of, and to even the small things like easing the nerves of my own mother by giving her a subtle heads up that our mother/son dance would be coming up soon - he was simply the best. We had many unique details, such as a friend officiating the ceremony and a family member making many announcements a DJ would typically handle. Chris prepared these individuals with everything they needed, from theirs mic's to the queues they needed to watch for, and in turn eased their minds as well. The reception he captained from his DJ booth was so fantastic, that friends of ours kept returning to his booth to hire him for additional 30 minute increments (at least THREE different times that I could remember - so points for flexibility as well!) We talked about him non-stop on our honeymoon, and I cannot say enough great things about his services. It's easy to just slap a 5-star review on a service that you thought was excellent, but I mean it - 5 stars for a perfect, above and beyond service. Thank you, Chris!!!!

to flex all of his DJ and sound muscles for our wedding which included: an outdoor ceremony on a mountain, a cocktail hour on a patio, and indoor reception in a huge banquet hall. He did a wonderful job in each of these settings. At our reception, we wanted a DJ who did just enough emcee-ing to keep the evening moving along but who basically stayed out of the way and let us have a party. Chris did just that! Our guests had an absolute blast on the dance floor! The most impressive part was that our older guests who wanted to be able to have a conversation while still feeling like they were a part of the party could actually hear each other! This wasn’t one of those receptions where you leave with ringing ears and a piercing headache. In terms of lighting, we loved having the option to use Chris for lighting services. We actually ended up not needing lighting because Chris pointed out the sconces that were in our banquet hall and suggested we use those instead of hiring him; I thought this said so much about his character as a man and as a business owner. He’s not someone who is going to get you to pay for services you don’t need. At the same time, he has so many skills and a huge inventory of lighting so that he CAN provide you with whatever you want if you do find you need it. Chris is so much more than a DJ – he was a huge help with the whole wedding planning process and designing our schedule of events for the reception. He is a staple in the Bershire wedding industry and we heard from several venues that recommend him as well!
