I agree with others who have said this before - Johnny and Safiyyah are the best! Over about a year of wedding planning, Safiyyah kept in touch with us regularly over email about t...
he process, answering questions, and providing suggestions. By the time it got to wedding month, we had a sit down with Johnny to go over all the details, and a great outcome of that meeting was just getting to know Johnny more and find comfort in putting part of our special day in his hands. Johnny even made plans to come to our venue the night before to set-up and refine details with us so he was best prepared. He takes his job seriously, and that shows in the product! During our event (ceremony & reception), Johnny was just so seamless with his work and adapted well to the bit of chaos that goes with such a big event. We did have a small snafu with my walk-down song, but the small change was not a big deal. We had people out on that dance floor and enjoying themselves all night long! If you want to work with a DJ who is professional and takes his work seriously, go with Johnny. You won’t be disappointed!
Johnny and Safiyyah were the best! They really helped us plan out our reception and capture the vibe we wanted at key moments. We didn't really know what we wanted at first, and th...
ey had a template where we could start to fill in some songs. Johnny helped keep the reception moving and played the right songs for each moment. When it was open dance time, he knew how to keep the party going and many of our guests came up to us to say how fun our DJ was. Affordable, professional and talented - you cant go wrong with Your KC DJ!
We witnessed Johnny’s work at our brother and sister in laws wedding, and booked him for our own wedding right away. Johnny & Safiyah were wonderful! They were always easy to get...
in touch with prior to the wedding. Johnny was great at exciting the crowd, yet he also was not about making himself the center of attention. He made our ceremony and reception flow very smoothly. He was also so friendly and approachable. Our guests loved him and, and the next day, they kept talking about what a great job he did.
We first had the pleasure of working with Your KC DJ for our wedding in July 2016 and from the beginning it was a complete pleasure working together. It was such a pleasure that we...
reached out to have Your KC DJ to work with us again for our family reunion in July 2017. At both events all the guest loved him from old to young and they made sure to let us know! A truly professional and fun DJ to work with. They will always be our go to Kansas City DJ.
Your KC DJ aka DJ Johnny and his Wife Safiyyah were an awesome duo. We were really impressed with how invested they were in bringing our vision to fruition. Safiyyah assisted my wi...
fe in coordinating the ceremony and reception while DJ Johnny worked secretly with my groomsmen and I on a surprised dance routine. He even brought his full equipment to our dance rehearsal! He also rehearsed a surprised with the Bridemaids. His musical transitions and vibrant Jk-ing had the crowd dancing the night away. We put a small list of must-plays and a few desired Jamaican songs; however, we gave the DJ artistic freedom to carry the night.
If you are looking for a DJ LOOK NO FURTHER!!

Your KC DJ was amazing. They answered all my questioned and even helped me pick out songs for the wedding ceremony. Provided suggestions and even sent me music to listen to.

ed a father daughter mix and provided the songs to Johnny and he sent me back a mix to review. My dad does not live in the same state as me so we didn't get to practice until the night before the wedding and we quickly figured out that one of the songs wasn't going to work. I emailed Safiyyah at around 1030 pm to change the song. Her and Johnny made it happen and the father daughter dance was great. Everyone loves it. He kept the party going and all my guest had a blast. A good DJ makes or breaks a party and with your KC DJ you will never have to worry about your event being a bust.
What an amazing husband & wife duo! Safiyyah made the booking process so easy and addressed all the questions and concerns we had. And Dj Johnny Quest was phenomenal is every way. ...
He was on time, professional, and more importantly kept the dance floor rocking! I would highly recommend Your KC DJ to any couple who wants the BEST in the business! Thank you again for making the happiest day of our lives so SPECIAL!
He was phenomenal!! He definitely made our wedding night so memorable and couldn't have had a better dj for our wedding! His song selections were perfect for every special moment...
and captured it in the best way possible! I already have and will continue to recommend him to anyone and everyone that I know!! :) Thank you John so much for making our night so magical and memorable and we are so thankful to have shared our once in a lifetime evening with you! :)
Johnny the DJ Quest and Safiyyah are great to work with! They make everything so fun and stress free! Even after we had to change our original wedding date due to a family emergen...
cy they were so easy to work with! Johnny the DJ quest is a great DJ and MC! Even at the wedding when we made a few changes Johnny handled it perfectly and everything went great! Safiyyah is so kind and very professional! They are a great team and will definitely make your event memorable!
Johnny The DJ Quest and Safiyyah with Your KC DJ were absolutely amazing at our wedding and before. Safiyyah handled the business and planning out the event and is very on top of e...
verything, she was responsive and helpful throughout the process. We really loved Johnny’s style at the turntables. He does a great job playing to the crowd which keeps the whole evening lively! We would recommend Your KC DJ to anyone looking to have a great party!
Your KC DJ was very professional, personable and helpful. From the very beginning, Safiyyah called me and asked me pertinent questions. She didn't leave a stone unturned! The in pe...
rson meeting with Johnny was great. We hit it off immediately. They both provided suggestions on songs that I had a hard time selecting. I would highly recommend their services. Thank you both for being a part of our Wedding Day.
"Johnny you should slow the music down, otherwise these people are going to dance all night"! These are words from my wedding day that are etched in my memory when I think of the F...
ANTASTIC job done by Your KC DJ! It was very evident that Johnny enjoys what he does and it can be felt by the guests. I was very laissez faire when it came to my wedding in general. Safiyyah and Johnny were patient during my consultation and did a great job ushering me towards the mood that I wanted as I found it hard to express in words. Some of the equipment provided by them overlapped that which was provided by other vendors. Your KC DJ stepped in and substituted equipment that I didn't originally have for no charge to make sure that I was getting the most for my money. They are organized, professional, fun, and all around amazing! Five stars doesn't do them justice!
Our DJ was great! He kept everyone dancing all night long! He played a great variety of music that kept our guests of all ages interested! I would use him again!
My husband & I, before we had gotten married last month on August the 1st, 2015, attended the KC Weddings Extravaganza in Overland Park back in January of this year. I can CLEARY ...
remember how noisy & busy it was & we both were feeling overwhelmed. And yet through all of the hustle & bustle & wandering around, I can TOTALLY recall coming to a complete stop & saying to my then unofficial fiancé, "Hold up!! Where's that music coming from?!?" And that's when we found the Your KC DJ booth. The minute we stepped foot into their booth, I had a deja vu moment & while that was happening, DJ Johnny Quest, I kid you not, song after song played MY jams. And yes, I started dancing in their both...NO SHAME! #truestory I told my then unofficial fiancé that if we walked away w/ ANYTHING from that wedding extravaganza, we HAVE TO HAVE this DJ as our DJ for our wedding. He agreed & Your KC DJ WAS our AWESOME & AMAZING DJ at our wedding!!! They were WONDERFUL & VERY PROFESSIONAL to work w/ from the beginning. They also & ESPECIALLY were VERY helpful in giving us advice on things to consider for our reception & they made sure that our special requests were honored. Our family & friends still to this day are raving about how AWESOME our DJ was. I knew that deja vu moment was not to be ignored. =D SOOO GRATEFUL & SOOO HAPPY that Your KC DJ was a part of our special day & that they truly were a contributor in making our day SPECIAL. My husband & I HIGHLY recommend them & WE WOULD SOOO HIRE THEM AGAIN!!! THANK YOU, YOUR KC DJ!!!
Your KC DJ went above and beyond my expectations. They were incredible!! Our wedding was more fun than I imagined thanks to Johnny The DJ Quest. He was both a fabulous DJ and MC. ...
They were also extremely organized and professional. Working with both Safiyyah and Johnny was a pleasant and stress free experience. We only had to meet with them twice and Safiyyah was very responsive to emails. They did a fabulous job of "feeling out" the personalities of my fiancé and I and our friends. We had a few hectic last minute changes on our wedding day and Johnny The DJ Quest worked with us professionally and accordingly. I would HIGHLY recommend you use Your KC DJ!!! Our dance floor was packed the entire night. You would truly be missing out if you didn't go with them. Thank you Johnny an Safiyyah!
Selecting a DJ is one of the biggest decisions that you make for your wedding since they will be setting the tone for the entire night. My wife and I completed research online & we...
nt to bridal shows to stope out the numerous companies. After meeting with some of the DJ services we left feeling like we were back in a lecture hall in college....just another number (or $ sign if you will). But with this husband and wife team, it was quite the contrary.
I originally selected your KC DJ because they use Bose speakers. They have clean lines and produce an amazing sound. I am a very aesthetic person by nature so I didn't want huge box speakers that you see at concerts in all of our photos. When you plan a wedding, you have to think about everything, and the clean lines that the speakers and his set-up created were just one of the multiple details that we paid attention too. Once we sat down to meet with Johnny The DJ Quest and his wife, Safiyyah, we immediately knew that we were going to select them. They were real people and showed a genuine interest in ensuring that OUR day was perfect. You could tell that they weren't after the bottom line as their main priority. They are professional people with great personalities and are able to understand "your vibe" and translate that into a music set. We told them that we wanted it to be a party from the start, since our wedding only included close friends & immediate family. We didn't want to have anyone sitting down. And they delivered and then some. We were also given permission to contact them whenever, which we took full advantage of; even changing the order of some things a couple of days before the ceremony. Their responses were prompt and even gave us some good suggestions which helped create the flow of the night. We gave Johnny a lot of freedom, because we trusted him. You can tell that he is a very creative person & has a passion for not only his profession, but also for his clients.
And to add on top of all this, they asked us for permission to film some of the reception since they were working on a promotional film & my wife jokingly said, "you can have them film the entire day if you want." Just some backstory here, we had to move the wedding up a year due to health issues with my wife's mom & being that her dad passed away from brain cancer 4 years ago, it was imperative that her mom be there to walk her down the isle. So we were unable to hire a videographer due to this and some other extenuating circumstances. But I digress, Safiyyah called my wife a couple of days later and informed her that they were going to have the videographer film the entire day for us (in association with NMG studios- check them out to if you need a videographer! Great people!!). This sent my wife to tears because it reminded her that there are still a lot of good people in the world. This was a true testament to how much your KC DJ care about their clients. They went above and beyond to ensure that we would remember this day for the rest of our lives.
Our wedding day, 10.10.14, has come and gone, but we still have people talking about the wedding and how much fun they had. The music was spot on and everyone danced from the beginning to the end. It was perfect. Selecting your KC DJ was perfect. So, Johnny The DJ Quest & Safiyyah, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will forever be the strongest proponents of you guys!
Your KC DJ is an all around wonderful company!! Safiyyah started off helping me stay on track with my budget and checked in with me to make sure I had a time line set up and that I...
followed through with it. Connections connections....Safiyyah has connections. She set me up with my florist, photographer and wedding coordinator. I told her what I was looking for and she new the perfect people to set me up with.
Then there is Johnny The DJ Quest. What an amazing person!! He asked what type of music we loved and he was able to create the perfect playlist for the wedding. John's energy is electric and he is a master at his craft! I could sing parts of song that I didn't know the name of and he knew excatly the song I was thinking of. He has a love for music and it shows!!
Over all I was very satisfied with Safiyyah and John's service and attention to detail. They both cared about my wedding day and it showed. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they helped make my wedding day perfect!!!
In all honesty, I'm beyond happy I went with Your KC DJ. Although it was a tad bit pricy for my budget, it was all worth every penny! Johnny The DJ Quest and Safiyyah were so pleas...
ant and easy to work with. Safiyyah was so helpful with creating our event timeline (I don't know anything about weddings, so she was VERY helpful). She had all of my requests of songs that I wanted to be played and even helped choose some songs that we struggled with. During our whole event, Johnny the DJ Quest was wonderful! We had different genres of music since our families are so diverse, and everything flowed together perfectly. He played all the right songs at the right moment, no hiccups! What I loved most about him was his interaction with the crowd! I've been to several weddings and I've seen the DJ stay at their booth and speak when they had to, but not him! One of the best nights of my life, thanks to Your KC DJ for helping to make it happen!

We were looking to host the wedding of the year and with Your KC DJ we were successful!
During our vendor search we were very picky, especially with DJ’s… we made it clear to ev...
ery DJ company we consulted with that they ran the life of the party and the pressure was on! After we received the referral to Your KC DJ, they invited us to their office/studio which immediately put them a step above compared to the coffee-house meetings we had with others… DJ Johnny and the Director of Ops, Saffiyah were extremely professional in every meeting, email, and phone call. We knew from our first meeting, Johnny The DJ Quest was our guy!
From our initial meeting, both DJ Johnny and Saffiyah made efforts to get to know me and my husband, our relationship and the overall atmosphere we were trying to create at the wedding. They were accommodating to every requests we had (even very last minute requests!), they were creative, worked well with our other vendors and DJ Johnny was comfortable with running the party. From our ceremony, to cocktail reception, dinner, and the main party, he did an awesome job. My husband even said he was the best and his favorite vendor to work with! We have been asked numerous times who our DJ was and we would recommend Your KC DJ to anyone! If you’re looking for a great party, a fun and professional DJ, then look no more! They get the job done.
Johnny (DJ Quest) kept the dance floor FULL all night! Him and Safiyyah gave us a very personal, unique, and fun wedding reception that we will never forget! We couldn't have fou...
nd a better experience, thank you so much!
Your KC DJ was very organized and really listend to what we wanted. They had great recommendations for us. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a DJ in the KC area.
KC DJ did a great job at our wedding. John did a great job keeping us on time and on queue for our events.
One of the most important things when planning our wedding reception was the Music. We wanted everyone to have a wonderful time and relax, eat a great meal, let loose and enjoy the...
music!!
Johnny The DJ Quest & his wife Safiyyah are such wonderful people and helped guide us through making the most important day of our lives a success!! The turntables, music mixes and ambiance they create were all amazing. We have had so many wonderful comments about how much fun everyone had and pictures to show. The dance floor was full all night and as it should be.
As a wedding planner myself I couldn't have worked with a better couple! I love referring YOUR KC DJ to all my brides and reminiscing on how Amazing our wedding day truly was
!! I hope all new couples have our same experience!!
Zack and I truly enjoyed our special day and have Johnny & Safiyyah to thank!!!
From one Husband and Wife team to another - You guys are truly the best!! A&Z
My wife & I's whole goal for our wedding reception was for our wedding party & guests to have a great time! So to set the theme right, we knew we had to have a great DJ, and Your K...
C DJ was perfect! They had amazing up-lighting to match our decor, the classic turntable DJ look, and played absolute perfect mixes that kept the party going all night long! Plus Johnny The DJ Quest & Safiyyah were extremely fun & easy to work with. If you want your wedding reception to go smooth, have style, and rock all night long then Your KC DJ is a must have! Best night of our lives, I love you Anna!
Your KC DJ brings the life to any event!
I used this DJ Service for my wedding reception (and ceremony) and a year later, people are still talking about how great the music was a...
nd how much fun they had!!!
From the onset, DJ Johnny (and Safiyyah) made sure to find out from both the groom and myself what are musical tastes were and what type of atmosphere we wanted to create. They helped us make sense of our "all over the board" tastes and were able to incorporate a little bit of everything we loved... from old school Hip Hop/R&B, to the oldies, Top 20 and even gave me a little Celine Dion. From the cocktail reception, dinner, and the main party, the music flowed and got everyone on the dance floor! They created memories that we and our guests will remember for a lifetime! They are the best combination of FUN and professionalism! If you're looking for the BEST Party EVER, then look no more!
After attending a KC bridal fair last January, my fiancé and I came across DJ Utopia at a booth. Immediately I gravitated to Safiyyah Mills positive attitude and energy while my ne...
w hubby thought John was the greatest mixer he had seen yet. We booked them on the spot and knew from the very beginning working with them would be amazing. WE WERE RIGHT!!! The overall experience was AMAZING. Safiyyah sent emails regularly to check in on how things were going while John went above and beyond to meet with us and create the perfect wedding playlist! (He even mixed the most amazing mother-son and father-daughter dances!) They worked perfectly with my wedding planner to make our special day nothing but perfect. At the wedding people raved about how great John was! We are still receiving compliments weeks after the wedding. There is not a better DJ to work with in the KC area. John and Safiyyah will make your day perfect! I know there are plenty of DJ's out there that are extra cheezy or over the top... this is not one of them! This company will personalize your experience and make it something you will never forget! We will definitely book them for all future events and would recommend you do the same :)
The DJ did an amazing job for our fundraiser! I have so many people in my organization come up to me and tell me how amazing the entertainment was for our event. I would not hesita...
te to use their services again.
We enjoyed meeting and working with this husband-and-wife couple. They were relaxed, easy-going, and interested in giving us and our guests a good time. We got a lot of positive fe...
edback from our guests that enjoyed the evening. The only criticisms we have are minor: we requested them not to take requests from guests but they played a few anyways including a couple on our 'do not play' list. The flow was good but I found the DJ's choice of timing to request a testimonial unprofessional. The moment the song my wife and I were suppose to leave the reception to started playing the DJ asked us to step outside the reception to record a testimonial for their services; I thought this should have been done earlier. To their credit they seemed slightly short-handed. We were under the impression that the pair normally works together but for our event only DJ Quest was present. I think having some communication assistance with our Matron of Honor would have helped him out.
I'd recommend their services, just be very clear about expectations and they'll do a great job for you.
