About this vendor
My name is Steve! I am the owner of Virtuoso - we are a professional wedding reception company offering DJ, Emcee, live music (violin & piano), lighting, and planning services.
My methodology is simple!
1) Planning and Organization is 90% of the battle.
Success for a wedding reception lies in planning and organization before the actual date of your wedding. I am extremely organized and my goal is to make sure you have no questions or concerns and feel reassured that your reception is in good hands.
2) It's all about the Wedding Couple!
It's not about your mother, the weird uncle, or the DJ. Your reception is all about you. I will work with you from beginning through to the end as I plan the details of your wedding, to understand your music preferences and offer suggestions of what has worked well and is fun from my previous experience.
3) Professionalism is KEY.
We've all been at wedding with a bad DJ/Emcee. Awkward announcements, overly obnoxious, wrong music choices, or just plain unprofessional DJ can all ruin a wedding. Your DJ won't be an empty face - you know exactly who I am, how I will be during your wedding, and we'll have met plenty of times prior to your wedding!
Thanks for visiting - hope to hear from you soon!

Our wedding would not have been the same without Steve! From the ceremony to the last song on the dance floor, they absolutely nailed it.
They took the time to understand our vibe...
and preferences, read the crowd perfectly, and kept the energy going all night. The transitions were smooth, the timing was spot on, and the playlist had everyone — from our friends to our parents — up and dancing. We’re still getting compliments about how fun the night was!
Beyond the music, Steve was incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and just a joy to work with. They made everything feel effortless, and their positive energy was infectious.
If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to throw an unforgettable party while keeping things organized and stress-free behind the scenes, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for better!
I actually met Steve through a mutual friend in 2008 when we had just entered college. Coincidentally, when it was time to plan my wedding and find a DJ, I stumbled upon "DJ Virtuo...
so". To my surprise, it was Steve's DJ services that I had come across! From the very beginning, Steve was incredibly helpful and attentive. He made the entire process of planning for our special day feel effortless and seamless.
On the day of our wedding, Steve exceeded all expectations. He was not only a fantastic DJ, but he went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. He was very attentive and helped run the different parts of the ceremony and reception. We knew our guests would be a challenge to get out on the dance floor, so we were so happy Steve kept our dance floor alive. Steve truly made our day unforgettable.
I can't recommend Steve enough. If you're in need of a DJ for your event, look no further!
DJ Steve was very easy to work with, organized, and very versatile in his musical selections. On our wedding day, when needed, he could quickly get our guests to quiet down to move...
on to the next element of programming. But also had a great set list that he kept the dancefloor going through the night. Would highly recommend if he's available.
Steve was such an amazing DJ for our wedding. This was one of the decisions I was most nervous about since you can't really see their work beforehand. Steve was very responsive dur...
ing the whole process and was great to work with. He is very thorough to make sure the big day goes well. He made the night so amazing and the dance floor was packed the entire evening! As the MC for the night he also did a wonderful job. Cannot say enough good things and he definitely makes the day stress free and a dance party the whole night!
Not much needs to be said about Steve. He is easy going, very responsive, smart, and good at being a DJ. We were looking for a DJ that could control the flow of our wedding recepti...
on without being one of those "obnoxious" DJ's that ruin your wedding and he did just that. He had plenty of great wedding games that got the guests laughing and involved and did a great job to setup the perfect playlist for us that still suited the guests. What we really liked was he was able to politely prevent guests from forcing him to requests songs that we didn't want played. 10/10 for Steve. If you're considering him just pull the trigger, you won't regret it.
What can I say about Steve?? He is absolutely incredible! We loved working with him from the minute we met him until the last song on the dance floor. Steve was super personable an...
d professional. Super responsive to emails and questions. He sent us an easy to use form that we could continually update with details about the wedding. I loved that he called us a few days before the wedding in order to recap all of the details and make sure everyone was on the same page. It made me feel so good to know I wouldn't have to worry about little details like that on our big day! Also his music choices were perfect! Literally all of our guests were on the dance floor all night and talked about how great the music was! Steve really made our wedding so perfect and kept the party going all night! Thank you SO much!
Steve was an incredible part of our wedding day!! Thanks to him, we were able to not be stressed out on our big day. He was a huge help with making sure our itinerary flowed accord...
ing to the timeline we provided, and he communicated with our parents/best man/bridesmaids on being ready for their speeches. He made sure to get us when it came time for big events (bouquet/garter toss, games, last dance, etc) and was VERY thorough with how we wanted things done. If it were not for him, we would have been running around like headless chickens lol. After our wedding, all our guests kept complimenting how much they enjoyed our DJ and the songs he played! I cannot recommend Steve enough for being a professional and accommodating Emcee/DJ, not only on the day of, but being very detailed in the planning process too.
Virtuoso DJ Entertainment is the BEST!!!!
Choosing Steve as the DJ for our reception was one of the best choices we could have made! Even a month after our wedding, we still have...
guests contacting us to ask about our DJ (just in case they need someone for future events).
Steve took time to sit down with us and explain our music options/ strategies for selecting good music, to review our specific requests, and to walk us through a typical wedding reception timeline and plan. He assured us that the focus was to be on our wedding celebration and on family, and that his job was to keep the party going. He helped us plan wedding activities including grand entrance, special dances, bouquet toss, and the shoe game (which was a major hit with our guests!)
Steve was super professional and flexible when it came to planning and preparing for our reception, and he proactively reached out to our coordinator to make sure that the timeline would be classy, fun, and all around perfect! He adapted to last minute changes and surprises brought about by COVID (he wasn't even phased when it took us until 2 hours before our reception to tell him who would be giving the speeches.)
In addition to being our DJ, Steve was our violinist at cocktail hour! He covered all of our requests, from Frank Sinatra to classic Disney music. He created a seamless reception from outdoor cocktail hour through indoor dinner and dance floor, capturing the hearts of our guests of all ages. What we loved most about Steve’s approach to music is that he is VERY skilled at commanding the party and the dance floor without distracting from the focus of the event! He kept our adult guests dancing — to the point that I had guests who had planned to leave early for the night… They would hear the next song start, and they would race back out to the dance floor for another hour!!!
Steve was so involved in our planning, that he felt like a friend/ one of our guests! He even added a note in our guestbook. Needless to say, Virtuoso DJ Entertainment will be our number one pick for future events!
I'm a wedding planner and had the pleasure of working with Steve on a wedding in October and he did a GREAT job being prepared for the event, but was super flexible with the inevit...
able timing changes, last-minute additions to the toast lineup and grand entrance order. Some DJs I have worked with in the past get easily frazzled with those changes and then get things wrong, but he CRUSHED it! Also, he did a great job reading the crowd and playing songs that got, and kept, the crowd going!
