ng to tell him every single song to play. He curated the perfect playlists while still listening to our wants. He had our family and friends on the dance floor before it even opened up. I had guests tell me after the wedding how great the DJ was. 10/10 through & through. He does the best mashups & it’s evident that he KNOWS music. Thank you again Tony! 🫶🏽

To say DJ Tony Cutlass surpassed all expectations would be doing him a disservice. Not only was he as invested as we were to making our special day a memorable one, but his communi...
cation was always there and we shared the same vision for how we wanted everything to go. Our wedding was taking place outdoors and we were hit some unexpected rain which delayed our reception starting and DJ Tony immediately took matters into his own hands and started rocking the party indoors as if we didn't miss a beat! When we finally got the party outside, he looked at me and told me that he would be there as long as my wife and I needed to make up for lost time and to only worry about us having the best night of our lives. A legend through and through and will absolutely be recommending/booking him for any future events. We appreciate you, good brother! We enjoyed the ride in the cutlass!

From day one Tony was one of the most incredible vendors to work with. His excitement and passion is contagious and he made the planning process so fun. On the day of our wedding, ...
he was prepared, confident and ready to get the party started!!! He absolutely knocked it out of the park during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and all of our guests loved him. We're so incredibly thankful to have worked with him and we wish we could have a second reception just to have him party with us again!! Look no further for your DJ, Tony is the BEST.

We hired DJ Tony for our wedding and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. He took the time to make sure we captured every important part of ...
our wedding with the song of our choice. He was personable, professional, and made sure every detail was addressed. You only had to look as far as the dance floor to see that DJ Tony had made his mark on our wedding. We thank you for your commitment to excellence! If you read these reviews and don’t hire Tony then you are selling yourself short. Thanks DJ!
