Sims and his partner Caroline were AMAZING! They were so easy to work with, professional, and brought the BEST energy and entertainment to our wedding cocktail hour and reception. Everyone was on the dance floor at our wedding!!! My wedding coordinator loved them so much, she is booking DJ Stimulus for her daughter's engagement party! Everything from entrance songs, first dance songs, to exit song, was PERFECT! They even let my hubby and I in the DJ booth to play around! They are SOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!! Thank you, Sims and Caroline, for contributing and being a part of the best day of my life!
Love,
The Hunts! <3

They were so amazing! My now Husband and I thought that we were going to have a hard time finding a DJ for our wedding because all of the weddings / events that we had been to in the past the DJ didn’t know how to keep the party going but when we found Sims and Caroline we knew that they would be a perfect match for us and they were! They helped in ways they didn’t have to and were so kind! All of our guests had such nice things to say about them. We would highly recommend them!

We hired Stimulus for our wedding October of 2023 and we could not have made a better choice! He asked for a playlist but also added in some songs we had not thought of. He kept the crowd dancing and danced with us the whole time. If we could go back we would hire him every time!
