If you’re looking for a DJ who truly goes above and beyond, look no further than Nicholas!
From the very beginning, he was incredibly organized, professional, and easy to work ...
with. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made sure every detail of our day flowed perfectly.
One of the most special moments of our wedding was a surprise voice recording I had secretly planned for my husband before I walked down the aisle. Nicholas not only helped me keep it a complete secret, but he also recommended the perfect background music for it. It turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. It was one of the most talked-about moments of our wedding, and I truly couldn’t have pulled it off without him.
What really sets Nicholas apart is that he’s so much more than a DJ. He worked closely with all of our vendors throughout the day, managed our timeline, kept everything running on schedule, and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. Because of him, we never felt rushed or stressed—we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment of our wedding knowing everything was being handled behind the scenes.
The reception was seamless. Every song was timed perfectly, the transitions were smooth, and he kept everyone engaged without ever making it feel forced. He made the entire evening flow effortlessly.
If you’re on the fence about booking him, don’t be. He genuinely cares about making your wedding exactly what you envision and does everything he can to make your day as stress-free as possible.
Thank you, Nicholas, for helping create memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. We would recommend you a thousand times over!
Sincerely,
Seth & Montana

erfectly and truly knew how to read the room. The music, sound, and energy were spot-on all night long.
Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! The audio guest book and Photo Booth were huge hits and helped create so many amazing memories we’ll cherish forever. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you want someone who is professional, fun, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect, book him!

owing seamlessly, making sure the night rolled along without a hitch. Not only was he professional, but he was also incredibly kind and approachable, which made working with him such a pleasure. Most importantly, his music choices were spot-on—he knew exactly how to read the room and kept the crowd dancing all night long. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had, and we owe a huge part of that to him. Highly recommend!

BEST DJ EVER. Truly. When booking my vendors, it was so important to me to choose vendors that not only were great at what they do, but are also amazing human beings. Your DJ spend...
s your entire wedding day with you, so who you choose sets the tone for the entire day. Nicholas was absolutely phenomenal. As I said, not only was he an insanely talented dj, but he also is just one of the kindest, most genuine, and passionate people. He answered my hundred questions throughout wedding planning, HAPPILY, was willing to call, text, and video chat anytime I needed, and put so much intentional thought into creating the best atmosphere for our wedding. On the wedding day, he truly went above any expectations I had for my DJ. NUMEROUS of my family and friends came to me and told me how impressed they were with how he mixed music and kept the dance floor alive for hours. He is truly so so talented and such a phenomenal person. At the wedding, he brought us drinks throughout the night, was so kind to all our guests and other vendors, and made the day everything I wanted. Throughout our wedding planning process, anytime I talked with any other vendors (photographers, venues, coordinators, florists, etc) and mentioned that our dj was going to be Nicholas, EVERY single person said how they’ve had such amazing experiences working with him. That speaks such volumes about him. He will absolutely make sure that your wedding runs smoothly from start to finish. I promise you will be so happy you choose him!!!
My husband and I just got married this past June. We LOVED Nicholas as our DJ. He absolutely blew us (and our guests) away! From start to finish, he was professional, fun, and incr...
edibly easy to work with.
We had a unique setup with our reception split into two parts. We had a more family friendly portion earlier in the evening, followed by a high energy after party. Nicholas nailed both vibes perfectly, seamlessly adjusting the music to match each crowd. The dance floor was packed as soon as the dance floor opened. We actually had so many guests compliment us on how amazing the music was!
We also added on his floor lighting package, and it was 100% worth it. The lights transformed the space and totally set the mood and set the vibe.
Communication was smooth and stress free with Nicholas. He checked in with us during the night to make sure we were happy, and we always felt in the loop and taken care of.
I would highly recommend Nicholas to anyone that is looking for great DJ! We loved having him as a part of our special day.
My husband and I had Nicholas do the music for our wedding reception and he was phenomenal. He is extremely talented, great to work with, and communicates very well. Also doesn't p...
ush you into buying extra stuff the way some people in the industry do :) all around, an awesome experience and we couldn't recommend him enough!
Nicholas was stellar from our very first interaction to the closer song at the end of our reception! Nothing but good vibes, classy emceeing, and just setting a tone that was so wo...
nderful for our guests. He was always willing to work with us to make it the best night, even with some last-minute changes such as photo slideshow movies and other things we wanted to add to the itinerary. 110% recommend him and his services for your next major event!
Nicholas brought a cool head and steady hand to all aspects of the music for our wedding, both at the ceremony and reception. During planning, Nicholas helped us to work with the v...
enue and band to make sure that all hardware and equipment needs were taken care of, provided valuable input on our timeline and the flow of the reception, advised us on music selection, and worked with us to incorporate some Scottish ceilidh dancing and other culturally specific elements into our reception.
On our wedding day, Nicholas did a great job with the music, as well as serving as our MC at the reception. We cannot recommend Nicholas highly enough!
BOOK NICHOLAS! HE IS AMAZING! He met with my daughter and her fiancé to make sure he understood the vibe she wanted. He helped with song selections and choosing good start/stop ...
points. Nicholas put our (first time wedding) officiant at ease with a quick mic practice and some wise words. Somehow Nicholas has his eyes and ears on everything and masters the timing of the processional, recessional, grand entrance, etc. with not a lot of guidance from us. He made the bridal party appear to have rehearsed this a thousand times (they hadn’t, lol). His system is also amazing. Physically its very professional looking … sleek and not obtrusive. He has quality/professional lighting that does not blind you! The best part is the sound quality itself (and his voice of course). Anyone speaking into the mic at the reception was easy to understand (no muffled voices) and Nicholas is a great announcer himself. The music never stopped! Very easy to work with and excellent with communication. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!
Nicholas was exactly what we were looking for - he is such a chill guy, but also organized and so professional (coming from someone extremely organized!!)
Not only that, but he w...
as also our MC at our wedding and was the absolutely best personality for it!!! He was great at reading the room and making to where I didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Would absolutely recommend 10/10!!!
Regardless of who else you’re considering, go with Nicholas. He made the entire aesthetic of our wedding feel like we spent triple the budget. He thought of everything before we di...
d. Every transition was seamless. His lighting set up is INSANE. He’s an incredibly good DJ and somehow knocked out all our favorite songs while always keeping the energy high. He's intuitive and adapts in the moment. Nicholas is the best you can get.
We wish there was an option beyond five stars. We hired Nicholas to be our wedding DJ, and he delivered an incredible playlist and so much more. He made our entire ceremony and rec...
eption run smoothly. He was always willing to meet with us and work with us and helped to guide us as we sorted out exactly what we wanted. Your wedding DJ is not something you want to overlook, and Nicholas is the go-to-guy if you want someone who is personable, professional, and is guaranteed to make it an amazing party. We cannot recommend Nicholas highly enough. We also used his Photo Booth and it was an absolute hit with our wedding guests. If you're looking for your wedding or event DJ, look no further, Nicholas is who you want.
Nicholas is an amazing DJ! His communication leading up to the event was so helpful in our planning process. The Photo Booth adds a nice touch to every event, it seemed like there ...
was always someone using it at our wedding. It was so nice to be able to give him a timeline of events and he kept track of time for us to keep the reception moving. We had so many compliments on his DJ skills and will definitely recommend him to anyone needing a wedding DJ in the future!
Nicholas is the complete package! An excellent person, with kind, fun, and patient communication skills. The sound quality of his gear is perfect, and being the excellent musician ...
he is, he’s amazing at mixing the level of the music just right to every room while never sacrificing the energy of the party. He reads a room really well, flow-wise, and balances the evening with nostalgia, and current bangers to supply a great party vibe.
All his extra gear is seriously incredible too: the lights he brings, the audio guestbook (my personal fave), the photo booth!! It's all so awesome and provides so many ways for each wedding to feel personal and fun. I've been to a few weddings with him as the DJ and MC and he's so good and only getting better!
Nicholas is the best dj, period. Our wedding night was amazing and Nicholas was an instrumental part of everything coming together. His musical background lends to a top notch pro...
duction, and he will cater to your preferences. He won’t just show up and push play on an iPod, he’s going to get your wedding reception moving and read the room. He’s going to curate an experience through your meal service.
He’s also one of the kindest hearts you’ll meet.
If you’re looking for a DJ…look no further. I guarantee if you book Nicholas you’ll wonder how you didn’t have to pay a much higher price.
There are a few decisions in life you’ll only (hopefully) have to make once…Nicholas is a GREAT decision.
Thanks for making our wedding reception a memory we won’t forget.

Holy cow I don’t even know where to start! Nicholas was hands down one of the best Djs I’ve ever heard when at an event! We are incredibly blessed to have him be a part of our wedd...
ing day. He was so much fun and very thorough when it came to planning what music would make our day so special! He was so kind to play music during our ceremony and had a microphone for our pastor! He also had lighting that looked so beautiful in our venue! I would recommend him to anyone who wants a DJ that truly loves his job and wants to make your day special! I received so many compliments! Also, his Photo Booth that he offers will be a huge hit at any occasion. Everyone loved the Photo Booth and this was one of my favorite things we had! Huge thank you to Nicholas!

Nicholas was attentive to detail and always had our best interest in mind.

sts, and arrived very early to set up. I highly recommend him!
Nicholas’ Wedding DJ service was fantastic. He DJed our son’s wedding on Saturday. He set up all his sound equipment for the outdoor ceremony then moved indoors for the reception. ...
We could not be happier. Nicholas took care of all the announcements, provided microphones for various speeches, and even dismissed tables to line up for our dinner buffet. He was kind, considerate, and a joy to work with. He was very professional, making the contract signing and down payment process easy and remote. He gave his time for a pre wedding consultation, met all our song request, took requests from guest the night of the party, and made a great and enjoyable experience for all in attendance. We cannot recommend him highly enough. He is also extremely reasonably priced and, in my experience, more respectful and polite then a lot of DJs.
Nicholas officiated and MC'ed our wedding recently. I can't stress enough how much his presence and services added to the experience. Nicholas is incredibly kind, organized, and kn...
