Rating: 5/5 Stars - Better than we ever could have expected!
We hired Stafford to DJ the night party at our annual Friends Ski Trip, and he delivered an experience that was truly ...
next-level. From start to finish, he didn’t just play music; he curated the entire vibe of the weekend.
Professionalism & Setup:
Stafford arrived early to ensure everything was perfectly dialed in before the crowd arrived. He brought a full professional setup, including a smoke machine and multiple lights across the entire room, which completely transformed our space into a high-energy lounge. I've never seen a crowd get so hype in my life. His production equipment is truly next level, perfect volume for the venue.
The Music & Performance:
He is a master of transitions. His sets were seamless, filled with clever wordplay and creative ideas that kept everyone engaged. He played all the hits we wanted to hear while being incredibly gracious with requests, mixing them in perfectly without breaking the flow.
The Vibe:
Beyond the decks, Stafford is just a great person to have at an event—fun, cordial, and polite. He brought non-stop good vibes and kept the energy peaking the entire night.
Verdict:
Stafford did an essentially perfect job. We were so impressed that I am already planning to hire him for my future wedding. If you want a DJ who is professional, technically skilled, is well-organized, and knows how to read a room, look no further than Smoothie Events!

Smoothie Events played music at our company Christmas party. He brought great mix of EDM and holiday songs as requested! I was worried about that mix being corny, but he delivered...
in a way that my guests found super fun! We also had some line dances and raffles. Stafford handled lots of last min changes on the fly and was able to make any announcements we needed him to make. I’ve already booked him for next year!

We hired Stafford to be our wedding DJ and he was absolutely fantastic. Super responsive, skilled, friendly, thoughtful, and just great to work with. He set up calls and asked grea...
t questions to get a sense of what we wanted, but was also confident to handle things I was unsure about. As a musician myself, I can be particular about the experience, and I was genuinely impressed with Stafford. Several guests even went out of their way to tell me he was great. He also went above and beyond in being helpful the day-of (and was super kind about some last minute requests). I highly recommend hiring Stafford for your wedding!
