Nicholas Picholas was among one of our favorite wedding vendors to work with.

il hour, and reception. Helped coordinate reception introductions and dances. Did a great job with music selection for reception based on short playlist we provided.
To be honest, we barely thought about anything music related the day of. It all "just worked" and was done well!
A big thank you!

throughout the night was how good the DJ was. He made our wedding and my cousin’s wedding the best days. He even remembered them and gave them a shoutout! He truly loves what he does and he’s amazing at it. He even takes the time to capture some photos and videos for you to enjoy looking at the next morning.

He has videos that play with the songs and has the dance floor full all night. He did my oldest daughter’s party, now my middle daughter’s party and hopefully he’s available for my youngest daughter’s graduation party in 2 years. By far the best DJ I have seen ever!!! Highly recommended!!

the dance floor packed all night and flawlessly blended our favorite songs with guest requests. The transitions were smooth, the sound was perfect, and the vibe was exactly what we envisioned.
Beyond the music, Nicholas was easy to communicate with, super organized, and clearly experienced in keeping a wedding timeline flowing. Guests are still raving about how much fun they had—and that’s thanks in large part to the incredible music and energy.
Highly recommend Nicholas Picholas to anyone looking to elevate their wedding day with a DJ who truly gets it! I would give 6 out of 5 stars 🌟 if I could!

Nicholas is very professional and knowledgeable. You can tell he really loves what he does!! He was easily reachable and responded promptly and professionally. He gave us suggestio...
ns on what to do without being pushy and we appreciated that. (Which we ended up going with what he said). The only thing I would change/was confusing was the paperwork that we had to fill out. The response lines didn’t line up with the questions and the wording he used could’ve been “simpler” (for a lack of a better word) - there was some misunderstanding between us because we misunderstood the terms he used. Overall very happy we chose Nicholas to dj our wedding! He also provided us a photo booth - was VERY happy with that and how he helped us. It was a HUGE hit at our wedding!

His communication was great and responsive. He helped us with advice and made our day go by smoothly and so much fun. His pricing is more than fair for a DJ at his level. We would pick him as our DJ over and over again.

Book his premiere package option and don’t think twice about, it’s worth every single penny.
