We couldn't be happier with our experience with The DJ Crew for our wedding! After finalizing our booking, their communication was excellent, especially during the week leading up to our big day. They not only asked all the right questions about our preferences but also took initiative when we didn’t have strong opinions, making the process stress-free. Their pricing was clear, reasonable, and was a great value considering the level of service we received.
DJ Paul was really great. He understood the vibe we wanted, blending modern pop and light EDM in a way that appealed to all of our guests, including the older crowd. The uplighting option they provided added a beautiful ambiance to the space, and they worked seamlessly with our coordinator to handle all the setup and teardown without a hitch. We wholeheartedly recommend The DJ Crew to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and stress-free DJ experience!

I even had guests coming up and telling me that they loved the playlist and that John was doing an incredible job at keeping the dance floor packed all night!!! We danced from start to finish. Thank you guys so much!!! And we loved the book from the photo booth. Captured so many moments we would have otherwise missed!

The DJ Crew was a DREAM to work with! The owner, John Kerata, is one of the kindest individuals we met during the wedding planning process. He was extremely thorough and responsive from start to finish. Our lead DJ, Tony Bell, was absolutely incredible!! The dance floor was never empty and he checked in to make sure we were having fun throughout the entire night. Tony also did our ceremony which went perfectly.
Thank you so much!! 🤍🥂👰🏼♀️

We loved having the DJ Crew a part of our wedding day! They were very easy to work with, played all of our songs that we requested and made our whole wedding day run smoothly! We loved having the portal where we were able to add must play, play if requested, and do not play. It made it really easy to keep track of all the songs we wanted to hear! We really enjoyed working with the DJ Crew!

Tony and Henry were amazing! They had the perfect flow of music to go through the evening and kept our dance floor moving! Tony checked in often to see if we needed anything, had great suggestions for songs, and checked in when he had any requests that he wasn't sure about. We've had so many guests tell us we had the most fun wedding they've been too!

I cannot say enough good things about The DJ Crew!
The Crew comes dressed in professional attire with a "time to party" attitude. Friendly and approachable.
Our DJ Tony was absolutely amazing! All of our music was played exactly how I imagined, and he made sure to keep us updated every step of the way to make sure our timeline and expectations were met. Tony also made sure our glasses were always full, offered to get us more food or drinks as needed which was incredibly thoughtful!! The photo booth was a blast and our guests raved about how much fun they had. Plus, it makes a great keepsake with a copy of all of the photo's guests took throughout the event. I would absolutely rehire this company again and I will recommend to everyone looking for these services. Thank you, DJ Crew!!

We booked The DJ Crew for our wedding 4/27/24 and had Paul and Joe as our DJs for the evening and couldn't have been happier with this decision! John was so nice and helpful every time I spoke with him and we had a great experience from our fist phone call up until the last song of the night. I still have friends talking about how great the music was at our wedding and our dancefloor was full the entire night! Paul and Joe did an excellent job of playing a mix of the music we wanted as well as other songs that kept people moving and were great at screening requests! I would 100% recommend them for any event!

We booked The DJ Crew for our wedding on 12/2/23 and I would definitely recommend! Their planning system made it easy to input songs and special requests leading up to the wedding. Our DJ, Tony, kept everything on track during the reception. We also added the photobooth, which was a huge hit! It was packed the entire night, and the attendant, Melissa, did such an amazing job.

Our wedding was 10.20.23. The DJ Crew was the dj for our event. We had a phone conversation leading up to our wedding to go over the details. The day of our wedding, one of the DJ’s disappeared for two hours. So we had one dj doing the job of the MC as well. That was a little disappointing. A lot of the songs we were requested didn’t get played until after 9 when our photographer left. Overall they were fine, just some details I would’ve changed.

The DJ Crew were absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. The planning process was easy, John replied back immediately whenever we had questions, the portal was super easy to use, and Josh and Henry were hands down the best to make sure our wedding reception was perfect. They got the party going, were able to read the room perfectly, and were so outgoing with all of our guests. I wouldn’t recommend anybody else over these guys. They knew their stuff and we are so happy we went with the crew.

First off, HUGE shout out to John Kerata! He was our DJ for our wedding in October. Let’s say from our first phone call, I knew this man knew what he was doing. The website was super easy to navigate and we were able to add songs to our playlist. John impressed me so much but also everyone couldn’t stop raving about him. He made sure we had water, pictures were taken, food was served ON TIME, and our ceremony & reception flowed smoothly. He really got the dance floor going. We also booked the photo booth too. If you’re on the fence, DO IT! You will not regret it. The pictures we received in the photo album/ guestbook were incredible and hilarious. I will cherish those memories forever! Thank you so much for having a banger playlist! I wish we could throw a party like that every weekend. Truly the best day of my life. Don’t think twice, this is your DJ and one stop shop.

I got married on 10/21 and I haven’t shut up about how awesome Justyn was at being our DJ for the wedding.
The Crew was the only vendor that we interviewed. As soon as we got off the phone, we knew we wanted to book them. The process on their website for planning what songs we wanted and didn’t want played was easy. It was stress free.
Once the party started Justyn was awesome. He was constantly checking on us to make sure we were happy, explain to us what was coming up next, etc. When he heard that I loved Disney, he asked if I wanted some Disney songs played during dinner. I said yes, especially if it was a song from my favorite movie, Beauty and the Beast. I thought he would maybe play one or two Disney songs, but he delivered. Justyn even checked on me when he saw that I fell on the dance floor.
The Crew understood the assignment. We will always recommend them for your DJ needs. Run, don’t walk to book them for your DJ.

The Crew was amazing to work with, from the initial phone conversation to the months leading up to our wedding day and the day itself. The owner, John, was a quick text or phone call away to answer any question my now husband and I had. The owner, John, provided so much guidance and helpful advice while I was planning the wedding. On our wedding day, our DJs Joe and April were phenomenal. Our reception was not the easiest one to navigate, as my great aunt passed out due to the heat and needed immediate medical attention. I was very worried and not sure how the evening would continue. As a result, our reception went off track. Well, Joe kept things going and made sure that all the main events continued, including the cake cutting, bouquet toss and father-daughter dance.
The father-daughter dance was hugely important to me, as I was surprising my dad by changing into my mother's dress (which was also my grandmother's). Joe and April coordinated everything perfectly so my dad would be completely surprised . I actually walked in from a door by the DJ area when the song started playing while my dad was waiting on the dance floor. My dad later said this was his favorite moment at the wedding and one he will remember the rest of his life. I can't put into words how thankful I am for The Crew for ensuring my wedding day went smoothly (as possible given the circumstances). Joe also followed up after the wedding to see if my great aunt was doing okay - that was incredibly kind! Joe, April and John are all class acts and I can't thank them enough! -Bree and Seth

John and Mattox were amazing! My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better Dj company to service our wedding. From the professionalism, personality, and quality of service they provide is unlike anything we have ever seen. We have been to many of weddings and have had good experiences, but these two really blew me and my husband away and provide EXCELLENT service. Not only did they provide us with Dj services, they also helped keep the day going and helping where ever they could. If we needed something there they were, if we needed to change something they were at the ready, and even if I was in the middle of a breakdown (which I feel so bad they had to witness) they stayed professional and helped guide me back to the day at hand and continue out my wedding day! I cannot thank these two enough for all they did for our wedding day, without their expertise and amazing skills our day wouldn't have been as magical as it was! Thank you John and Mattox!!!! We hope to have an event where we can use you guys again, you are the best!

I booked The Crew because I witnessed what they do at a friends wedding a decade ago !! It was no surprise that John and Peter killed it at our wedding too! They’re there to help with whatever the bride and groom need, whether it’s DJ related or not and they played absolutely whatever we wanted to hear ! My guests had an absolute blast ! He even coordinated with my sister/maid of honor on a surprise mid reception for us! It was a fantastic night!

If you haven’t booked a DJ yet, you NEED to book with The DJ Crew! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding experience with our DJs Steve and Jason on 9/30/23! Their communication with us throughout our wedding reception was the best. Steve made sure we were ready for each part of the reception (first dances, cake, etc), played our requested songs, always checked in with us, and knew how to keep our guests on the dance floor. Our DJs were very professional and knew how to keep the night energized. I never wanted the night to end! Before the wedding we went over all of the details over the phone so that we were all on the same page. Steve had great recommendations for us throughout the night when we were unsure of what to do with certain things. The online system is very user friendly and is extremely helpful when trying to plan out how you want your reception to go. John is also a great asset to the DJ Crew team and is always making sure that everyone is on the same page. Everything from the start of the planning process, to the ceremony, and then to the end of the reception went so smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ service. We truly appreciate you all and all of the hard work that you do!

Kyle and I had a wonderful experience with The DJ Crew. The entire process was seamless, easy to understand and follow, and we felt valued by John and Justyn because of all the preparation and communication. Justyn truly tries to get to know the couple so he can provide the best experience for their vision and their guests' enjoyment. I loved the music and transitions. Justyn also kind of acted as a coordinator which was SO helpful. He explained and communicated a lot and was totally on top of our timeline. He made our day so much easier.

Would use the DJ Crew 10/10 times!! When you first contact the company, you speak with the owner, John. He set up a phone interview and made sure it would be a good fit. We were instantly sold and excited after the call.
Paul and Joe were our actual DJs. Not only did they play awesome music to keep everyone dancing but they were in constant communication with the bride and groom. They were all about what WE wanted and determined to make it happen for us. The company advertised “event coordination” and that’s exactly what they did, they helped the other vendors and made sure everything was running smoothly.
We had an outside ceremony and it was raining. Paul and Joe took the time and effort to drive their car up to the pavilion so the equipment could still be covered and we could have our ceremony outside just like we wanted.
I would recommend them to every bride and groom!! They made our day so special and the guests loved their energy and sense of humor. Thank you guys so much!!! If I had to repick a vendor, it would definitely be these guys :)

Talk about keeping the party going all night long! My family has pointed out to me so many times that I did not leave the dance floor at all during my wedding and they are not wrong!!! TheDJCrew kept the party bopping all night without fail! My entire family from Aunts and Uncles to young nieces and nephews were all on the dance floor and it was a blast!!! I cannot recommend Jhon and his crew enough! They did everything in their power to ensure my now husband and I were having an amazing time from grabbing our drinks, asking if we needed more food, checking in to make sure things were rolling with the plan, it was absolutely amazing! The entire process was so stress free it was great! I’m telling you fellow brides and grooms stop here and book TheDJCrew! They know how to keep everyone on the dance floor and the party vibes high throughout the entire reception! Absolutely loved them it was a blast!!! If you want a nonstop wonderful time you gotta book TheDJCrew!

We had such a great experience working with John and John. They were energetic and read the room well, and still made time to go above and beyond for my husband and I. They painted a more clear picture of what to expect the night of the wedding and made us much more comfortable in the months leading up to it. He made a stressful experience fun for us, and he made sure we were never thirsty. Our guests were dancing and singing all night! He even got a really beautiful picture for us which we are so grateful for.

We had such a wonderful experience with John Kerata and The DJ Crew! Justyn and John were our DJ's and they were fantastic. From the ceremony, to the introductions, and reception everything was just as we had hoped! Justyn was so energetic and did a great job of keeping our guests excited. The dance floor was packed the entire night! He checked in with us frequently to make sure that he was playing things that we liked and asking if we wanted a certain song or artist. He did such a great job of listening to exactly what we had envisioned. Many people afterwards commented on how fantastic our DJ was!! They were truly awesome! We are so happy that we chose The DJ Crew!

From the moment we contacted them, they exuded professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm for making our wedding a memorable event. We cannot express enough how thrilled we were with their services.
First and foremost, the communication with The DJ Crew was seamless. They promptly responded to all our inquiries and patiently answered our endless questions. They listened attentively to our vision for the wedding and were incredibly accommodating when it came to incorporating our specific requests and musical preferences. It was evident that they genuinely cared about making our celebration unique and personal to us.
What truly sets The DJ Crew apart is their ability to read the room and gauge the atmosphere. They effortlessly adjusted the music to match the crowd's energy, creating a vibrant and joyful ambiance. Our dance floor was never empty, and our guests were having an absolute blast. They skillfully blended different genres and eras, catering to a wide range of musical tastes, ensuring everyone felt included and engaged.
Hiring The DJ Crew was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They brought the party to life and created an electric atmosphere that will forever be etched in our memories. If you're seeking a wedding DJ company that goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, The DJ Crew is undoubtedly the one. We wholeheartedly recommend them to every couple looking for an exceptional musical experience on their special day.
Thank you, The DJ Crew for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true!

My now husband and I had the pleasure of working with John! He was absolutely wonderful! He not only helped with all the planning of the reception, but he made sure that it went smoothly! If we needed a glass of champagne he even went and got it for me. I unfortunately fell during the reception bc severely sprained my ankle. But he made sure that the fun festivities went on in my absence. Once I returned he gave me the biggest grand entrance of my life. I had never felt that type of love and support as I did in that moment. I was recommended him by two of my cousins and it was the best referral I had! If you want things to run smoothly DJ Crew is the way to go!

I can’t say enough positive things about John! He was the most responsive of all of our vendors and very honest. Rather than push other up sells of lighting etc. on me, he was familiar with our venue and told me not to waste the money when we wanted to purchase up lighting from him. He provided that our venue didn’t need it. Our wedding ceremony and reception were outside with on and off rain for most parts of the day that totally crushed the timeline to hit open gaps in the storm for certain events. John and his helper Casey?, worked 3 times as hard moving their equipment in and out of the rain for multiple switch ups throughout the day. I was waiting for him to just give up all together, it was rough but he always came through soaking wet with such a positive attitude. He’s a full blown professional that just absolutely makes shit happen! His online organization system was fantastic, played everything I wanted to hear and he also had great recommendations that kept people moving all night! I was a firm believer in a good DJ making a wedding fun and I got lucky picking these guys! If you pick them, take trust in them, they’ve been to more weddings than you have and they keep people out there dancing! Thank you John, you guys really made our day awesome, even in the rain!

Prior to posting this review , I emailed DJ Crew at info@thedjcrew.com on 6/29/2022, and as of this date 7/9/2022 have never heard a word from them.
Father of the bride here. DJ Crew provided music and audio for our daughter’s wedding, 6/25/2022
The ceremony audio coverage was good, dance music was good, however, I was extremely disappointed with several other things, below are the issues;
1. The DJ/Emcee did not follow the itinerary given to him for the event
2. The Emcee/DJ’s voice was often heavily clipped and distorted making it extremely difficult for the guests to understand what he had to say. In my opinion that was unprofessional.
3. Terrible sound quality and excessively loud music during dinner. Hitting levels that caused pain.
4. Did not lower the audio levels when requested to do so.
5. Did not “ring out” the mic used for guests to help minimize feedback.
6. There was apparently no pre-survey of the venue so the DJ/Emcee would know what equipment to bring and how to best place and tune speakers for best sound and coverage.
7. Because speakers were not correctly set up;
a. Table #1 and nearby tables were subjected to extremely loud vocals and music, causing ear pain to some folks seated there. Totally inappropriate for dinner.
b. The back of the venue struggled to understand the people speaking due two issues: 1. the excessively high audio volume, combined with 2. the highly reverberant nature of the venue (which was not taken into consideration)
c. Sound coverage of the venue was not even, and in my opinion, it seems their "fix" was to simply crank up the volume to painful levels
Issues 3 & 6 & 7 could have been reasonably handled had there been a survey of the venue prior to the wedding and the correct equipment brought along and set up correctly. The experience could have been a 10 star had it been done properly.
In my opinion this team from DJ Crew were unprofessional and poorly educated in sound.
Just a few quick highlights from my background; I spent many years designing & installing sound systems in various venues. I designed and built a recording studio. I have done live house and monitor mixes for bands and artists, in various venues. I did a short stint as a recording studio engineer. I consulted with companies to control industrial sound levels. I was also a radio broadcast engineer for many years and did short stints as on air talent. I studied audio extensively with SynAudCon, and others and learned from experienced people in the field.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with The DJ Crew and we'd give them many more stars if we could! John won us over the phone when we had given up on having a DJ for our small-ish wedding. The day of thr wedding, we worked with Tony and he was wonderful! He kept our event moving smoothly from ceremony to reception to the end. He even made a recommendation to play a song for my son leaving for the Marines this summer. It was such a cool way to honor him that we hadn't thought of. Thanks, DJ Crew, especially Tony and John, for helping us make memories that will last a lifetime. Our friends and family had an amazing time and we here about how perfect everything was weeks later.

I used the DJ CREW for my wedding on 6/3/22. They were punctual, did exactly what I asked, played exactly what I wanted. I had so much fun at my wedding thanks to them and I would highly recommend! Thank you John and team!

We chose The DJ Crew based on their high reviews on The Knot, and I am so glad we chose them! John, one of the owners, took the time to talk to me on the phone to answer my questions before booking with them. He was down to earth and honest. For example, when I asked about the uplighting, he told me that it didn't make sense to get it based on all the natural light we had at the reception venue we chose. John also would call me promptly after I emailed him questions throughout the planning process. Their planning website was easy to use, and their services are very affordable compared to other DJ companies with high ratings. We also used their Photo Booth services, which was an excellent decision! The Photo Booth attendant, Beth, was so kind. She even took the time to show the 5yo flower girl how the Photo Booth worked. On the day of the wedding, we had Steve as our lead DJ and Jason as the DJ assistant. They were both professional and did an amazing job of keeping the dance floor full throughout the reception! I also appreciated how Steve would make announcements throughout the evening that helped keep our reception running smoothly. I highly recommend The DJ Crew!

WOW. We got 3 services from The DJ Crew, I will split them up below.
The DJs- We had Tony and Peter, and they were amazing. Tony had very clear communication with us before the event, making sure that everything went smoothly and that every song was lined up. They kept me informed through the event of when we were going to do things like the cake cutting and the first dance. Not pushy by any means, but still making sure we had time for everything, which i appreciated so much. The day was hectic and having their reminders was a lifesaver. They did everything we asked of them. The music they played was perfect. Every song they played had people on the dance floor yelling because it was a great song!! I loved their energy on the mic and their professionalism. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. Thank you Tony and Peter!!
Photo- We had Brandon and Grace as our photographers. They were so well organized and kind, they really just flowed in with all of us getting ready. It didn't feel foreign, it felt like old friends were there taking the pictures. They were behind me capturing every moment, which was exactly what I wanted for the day. They had so many fun ideas, and I loved that Brandon showed me a few pictures periodically after he took them. It got me so excited, and they look INCREDIBLE!!!! They were exactly what we needed when we needed it, and I am so excited to see all of the candid and funny pictures with friends we did. Perfect in every way! Thank you Brandon and Grace!!
Photo Booth- We had Ryan as our photo booth attendant. He was so nice and fun!! Always paying attention and smiling, he was so helpful. My 7 year old cousin went into the photo booth alone a few times because he loved it so much, and Ryan gave him props and set it up for just him. I love that we got a photo book with a copy of every picture reel! It helped us to see pictures that we couldn't see in the moment. Having copies of our grandmas wearing funny hats and big glasses are something we will treasure forever. Thank you Ryan!!!
John Kerata is who set up the contract and all the information in the beginning with us. We stayed on the phone with him for 2 hours that night talking about so much stuff, it was like we had known him forever! So charismatic and friendly, and he made the process so easy for us. Special thank you to John!
Every service was incredible and We would recommend them to anyone who is looking for these services!! THANK YOU TO THE DJ CREW!!!!

They were very professional and did a great job! Our DJ even checked to make sure we had drinks to toast with before the toasts happened. Very flexible with special requests. Created a fun atmosphere and got everyone on the dance floor! Would highly recommend!

The DJ Crew was wonderful...recommend them with 5+ stars. You will not be disappointed! Communication prior to the event and throughout the evening was perfect. They stuck to our timeline, made appropriate suggestions but listened to us and gave us the wedding of our dreams. They were fun and engaging during the reception and helped keep the night on track. Everyone in attendance enjoyed the night which is exactly what we wanted. It was budget friendly to be able to make payments up until the wedding day! Love them!!

The DJ Crew was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our November 2021 wedding. John was so helpful and responsive to every question we had both prior to booking and in the months leading up to our event. In March 2020, we found out that our venue had caught on fire, and John spent the next 2 hours calling his contacts to help us find a new venue. We did not end up switching venues, but the amount of time that John took to make sure we were good to go for our wedding spoke volumes about his commitment to his couples.
Fast forward to 2021...the DJ Crew and our assigned DJ couldn't have been easier to work with. Their planning portal and pre-wedding details meeting were so easy to use and professional, and covered every second of our day. On the day of, I felt completely comfortable handing off the reins to our DJ to run our reception, and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Everything ran on schedule and was very professionally managed...our DJ even made sure that we had salads and appetizers ready to go at our head table while we were getting pictures during cocktail hour. Our DJ followed our must play / do not play lists to a T...we got to dance to our favorite songs, but the dance floor stayed full all night long. We're still having friends and family tell us just how much fun they had at our reception, and I can't thank or recommend the DJ Crew enough for that!!
I'll definitely book them again if we ever host other events that require DJ services. Don't wait to book your DJ - these guys are the best!

The DJ Crew was amazing. They made it so easy and were very happy with my song requests and were very “go with the flow”. I was nervous about choosing them because their prices are so great. They have exceeded all of my expectations and helped make my day perfect. . I 10/10 recommend them.

The DJ crew (Mike and Ryan) was honestly the glue that kept our wedding day going. Mike was the perfect DJ for our day and on top of it all was so attentive, kind, and organized. He checked on my husband and I multiple times a night to see if we were having a good time and if we had any requests or needed anything. He kept the party going and played a great variety of music that had many of our guests dancing all night. He and Ryan even nailed the “final song” choice with basically zero input from me, just told him we liked Taylor Swift (didn’t know I had to think of that!).
We honestly can’t say enough good things about the DJ crew. If you need a DJ, don’t hesitate and book immediately!!
