Check one thing off your to-do list and HIRE JOE BEATZ DJ SERVICES! I promise you will not regret it! DJ Joe was such a pleasure to work with: He is very friendly, outgoing, and wa...
s so supportive during the planning process! On a whim, he happily jumped on a call with my partner and I to help us create a schedule (because we didn’t know where to start!) With his expertise, we planned out a perfect night that we will never forget! Joe took our unique situation: my partner and I’s love for Taylor Swift; as well as the fact that some of our guests were non-English speakers, and created a playlist that got everyone on the dance floor and having a great time! He really helped move the night along from start to finish and we couldn’t be happier! I am not one to write reviews, but Joe was so incredible that I had to share the word! Also, he is LGBTQ friendly!

quest I had and mixed/cut songs together flawlessly for some cool transitions I had planned. The transitions were seamless, the energy was perfect, and he kept the dance floor full all night long. The added effects were such a highlight. Of course the light wands and disco - but the COLD SPARKS were on ANOTHER LEVEL! They made so many moments throughout the night feel extra special and unforgettable. DJ Joe came fully prepared, was kind, professional, a truly flawless in execution of my vision and cold spark moments. I would recommend Proz Beats Entertainment to anyone looking for a DJ who will elevate their entire wedding experience!

day. Joe and team provided much more than DJ services, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and kept a great attitude despite it being an outdoor wedding on a 90+ degree August day! We also had the time of our lives on the dance floor- DJ Joe honored all of our requests and kept the dance floor packed all night!! Highly recommend DJ Joe and Pro Beatz Entertainment for a very fun, memorable, and seamless experience!!
