1,000/5 stars!!!! We had the greatest experience with Stimulus! They not only were accommodating with me (bride) the entire time before the wedding with preparing our preferred songs, but they were a tremendous help during the ceremony with the officiant. Caroline NEEDS to be a wedding planner because she has the perfect gift of noticing little details that make the event so memorable and run so smoothly!! They were so engaging the entire night, hands down the best vender I’ve ever experienced! They kept our timeline on schedule and were just so fun and pleasant to be around! I recommend Stimulus as a DJ for ANY event, as I know they can do it - our venue was new to them, but they were so prepared, it seemed like they worked for the venue itself!

We cannot recommend this DJ duo enough! They were the DJs for our destination wedding at the Emerald Grande, and they were absolutely incredible. From the start, they were easy to work with, responsive, and made the planning process so simple. They aren’t just talented DJs, they’re genuinely great people. They kept the dance floor going all night, even got out there dancing with everyone, and let us jump in and DJ for a bit, which made the night even more fun and memorable. If you’re looking for DJs who are professional, interactive, and truly care about making your event unforgettable, these are your people.
