We had Terry DJ our wedding reception a couple months ago and we were so happy with his services. He was very engaging with the crowd, fun and talented - kept our party lively from the grand march through the last dance!! He kindly played our ...
song requests and had such a great playlist that everyone both young & old enjoyed. The dance floor was never empty and our guests had such a fun time, all complementing Terry and the music played. We would absolutely book Terry again and would highly recommend him for any of your music needs. 10/10. Thank you Terry and Ultimate DJ crew for ensuring our wedding reception was everything we dreamed it would be!!!

The only reason I couldn't give 5 starts to Ultimate DJ is that there was a small lapse in communication at the beginning of the planning stage. Beyond that, we loved everything about having Ultimate DJ as our DJ and emcee for our wedding day....
We knew we wanted something different and unique - not what you are seeing at every wedding these days, and Terry delivered. He was onboard and excited about every idea we had. He went above and beyond to make our music dreams come true for our dinner and dance (my husband and I are BIG music people). We asked for a very specific playlist for dinner, a new idea for the 'clink kiss' game, he let us pick out some questions for the shoe game, and listened to our requests for our dance. Terry did a great job of listening to the requests of us as well as our guests. We were so happy with everything and our dance floor was never empty! I highly recommend Ultimate DJ for all brides!
