I HIGHLY recommend Nathan with Too Hot to Stop DJ! He took our wedding to the next level! Nathan was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. From the moment we reached out, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely excited to make our day perfect. He worked with us to create the perfect playlist, incorporating all our favorite songs while reading the crowd like a pro to keep the dance floor packed all night long.
His energy and professionalism were infectious, and he had everyone—from toddlers to grandparents—dancing and having the time of their lives. Nathan also nailed the timing for our ceremony and special moments, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly, including a pre-recorded message for the groom! Our guests are still raving about the incredible music and beautiful vibe they created, and well as raving about how fun the event was!
Nathan and his crew were incredibly affordable compared to other DJ vendors, and this really was a steal for the price we paid especially for the level of expertise we got for it! Nathan even went above and beyond to help me have a last dance privately with my groom even though it was cutting it close to the time of his departure from the wedding. He did EVERYTHING with grace!
If you want a DJ who cares as much about your big day as you do, Nathan is the one. He truly made our wedding unforgettable, and helped make my lifelong dream and vision come true, and we can’t recommend him enough!

Nathan with TooHotToStop DJ Services was absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. His prices were the best we found, yet his quality and professionalism were unmatched.
Nathan’s energy and enthusiasm carried the night — he kept our guests dancing nonstop and even coordinated seamlessly with our live band to ensure every song transition was smooth and perfectly timed. With his help, even our venue team said it was one of the best weddings they’ve seen at La Fonda!
He’s kind, organized, and truly passionate about what he does. You can tell he’s at the top of his game and genuinely cares about every couple’s experience. We also highly recommend adding the uplighting package — it completely transformed the room and elevated the entire vibe.
If you’re still looking for a DJ — stop now, this is your guy! Nathan is simply the best in the business.

Nathan was hands down the highlight of our wedding. While so many other things didn’t go as planned, he was the one thing that went absolutely right. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, accommodating, and calm—exactly what we needed on a chaotic day.
He kept everything running smoothly, read the crowd perfectly, and made sure the vibe was exactly what we had hoped for. On top of that, his pricing was more than reasonable for the level of service and quality he provided.
If you’re looking for a DJ who truly cares, knows what he’s doing, and makes your day easier, Nathan is your guy. I can’t recommend him enough!

Nathan was so easy to work with from the second we contacted him. He made the entire process for choosing wedding music seamless. I have seen so many horror stories about music at your wedding going wrong - and we had absolutely no worries. Everything was literally perfect. He gave suggestions on timing which was so helpful. He also kept the dance floor going all night! He has an incredible library of music and kept everyone dancing and having fun. We would absolutely recommend him for tour next event and especially your wedding!

We have nothing but good things to say about Too Hot to Stop! Nathan was incredibly friendly and super communicative from the very beginning and that stayed consistent all the way through the night of the event. Eric, our DJ for the evening, made sure all of our timed songs and events went off without a hitch and he was great at reading the vibe of the room and keeping people dancing. He was flexible and rolled with us as we had to change some things in the schedule on the fly. All of our guests had a great time and I would 100% recommend Too Hot to Stop for anyone looking for an event DJ in the Santa Fe/ABQ area!

We could have danced for hours and hours, but did not have enough time. The DJ handled everything with perfection and our anxieties were simply gone as they took care of all the little things that were needed. Even guests who do not normally dance were out there having a wonderful time. I recommend Too Hot to Stop with 100% conviction. They are amazing.

Nathan was great up front about communication and leading up to wedding. He was professional, courteous, and informative.
Day of wedding was a disaster.
1. DJ could not get microphone working during ceremony.
2. DJ kept asking me questions about the timeline and what I wanted next, even though we had a written timeline prepared for her.
3. No one could hear her all night. No one knew cake cutting happened, no money dance because no one heard it. I stood up there awkwardly for a whole dance and no one knew what she had said and she didn’t repeat it.
4. She wouldn’t play any songs requested unless I requested them. So guests kept coming to me to ask for songs and then I had to go request them.
She was really sweet and nice and did tell me she’d only just started DJing but when you spend this much money, you really hope for quality and experience which was not provided.
Response from Too Hot to Stop DJ & Photo Booth Entertainment on 08/15/2025
In response: At the end of the night bride came up to my DJ and said good job and gave he...
r a tip.
DJ and officiant did a sound check before the ceremony and mic was working perfectly. Officiant turned off the mic during the ceremony and may have been by accident. Mic worked the whole night while DJ did announcements with NO ISSUES.
Yes my DJ's will check with the bride at times to make sure everything is going on time and if changes need to be made.
As for the money dance she did announce it a few times, but is always hard getting people to participate.
Then bride change her mind and did NOT want the money dance.
In reviewing our timestamp and music log shows every song that the DJ played.
Our #1 rule is play the songs that they picked and DJ did play 80% of their songs.
Our DJ has been with me for 4 years and has done over 120 events, so she is not new at this.
Bride was out on the dance floor about 60% of the night having a good time.
All In all everyone had a great time.

Nathan’s communication was easy, thorough, and he was available when I needed to talk/email. He asked clarifying questions so that I was assured we were on the same page. Much appreciated during such a busy time of wedding planning. Wedding day was super easy going, and Nathan made sure he matched the vibe and kept the night going all the way until the final moments. We had a blast and felt Nathan navigated the night exactly how we wished!

Could not recommend Too Hot To Stop more. Our DJ (David) was incredible, he introduced himself to every table during dinner and asked if they had any requests. The dance floor was full the entire night, I even had a guest try to hire him at the wedding.

Nathan performed a wonderful set full of our favorite songs that my husband and I requested as well as songs that had my guests from all age groups dancing all night long! He was very informative, checked in with us to make sure everything was sounding good, and was also reasonably priced. I would recommend Too Hot to Stop for your wedding or party event needs!

I want to thank you and David sooooo very much for an incredible and absolutely fun wedding celebration last Saturday at Hotel Chaco! David was just amazing mixing the music arrangement. Everyone had a blast and complimented how amazing he was to keep people dancing whether fast or slow.
Huge thanks to you both. It was so fun working with you.

I had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Nathan at my 40th birthday party, and I couldn’t be happier with his performance! From start to finish, he brought incredible energy and kept the dance floor rocking all night long. His song selection was fantastic, perfectly tailored to the vibe of the party and my guests’ tastes. He played all the songs I requested and even made time for karaoke, which was such a fun addition and a big hit with everyone!
Nathan was not only an amazing DJ but also incredibly professional. He spent a significant amount of time with me beforehand to figure out the best placement for his setup, ensuring everything looked great and worked seamlessly on the day of the event. His attention to detail and dedication to making the party perfect truly stood out.
His ability to read the crowd and keep the momentum going was truly impressive. He seamlessly blended tracks, keeping everyone dancing and having the time of their lives. I received so many compliments from my friends about how great the music was, and it’s all thanks to him!
If you're looking for a talented, professional, and charismatic DJ to elevate your event, look no further than Nathan. I highly recommend him and would love to have him at my future parties!

Nathan was phenomenal to work with! Not only was he super communicative, but he was able to work around both my husband’s and my schedule to make sure we had the songs we wanted on our list. He also went above and beyond to make the bride-father dance special by include and excerpt of a song that was special to me and my father. Nathan kept the party going and people on the dance floor the entire night! I cannot stress enough how easy and fun it was to work with Too Hot to Stop and how much they helped our night be amazing! 10/10!

From the start, Nathan was easy to work with. He’s very laid back but professional and friendly. He did such a great job keeping our wedding on schedule and getting our guests on the dance floor. We had a smaller wedding so it was mostly our wedding party dancing but he was great at changing up songs as needed and keeping the party going. I couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with Too Hot To Stop!

Would fully recommend Nathan, Abel and the Too Hot to Stop team. They guided us through the schedule of events for our wedding, added a few dance classics to our playlist, showed up at the venue well in advance and were ready to go, had all the right equipment and were helpful and flexible with requests during the wedding itself. Would work with them again for other events. Highly recommended.

Nathan was wonderful. He helped us with picking songs when we were unsure and even let us change a song at the last minute. He did a terrific job helping us keep on schedule (everything just happens so fast). He lined us up for grand entrance & I had a coordinator who couldn't lol. Nathan also reminded me to take a minute or two to get in the photo booth we rented from him. A MUST have! He was very professional and friendly.

Our DJ was David, he was AMAZING!! He was very on top of everything between timing and songs we wanted during the ceremony. During the reception was when he truly went above and beyond! I had Dancing Queen on my must play list, he brought out crowns and passed them out during the song, during YMCA he lead the dance and invited guests to lead with him, during Sweet Caroline he brought the microphone onto stage and had guests sing parts of the song. SO FUN!! We loved him and couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!
