Zach and Leila’s wedding

Chris is amazing… he makes sure he plays every song you request! He even joins in the dancing as well. He has the best personality and you can tell he loves his job. You will not go wrong with this DJ. We have used him for both of our kids wedding.

MVP of our wedding reception

Chris is amazing at what he does! Not only was he fantastic with the music, but he also did an incredible job keeping our entire wedding evening flowing smoothly and exactly how we envisioned it. His energy is unmatched, and he truly helped keep the party going all night long. One of our favorite moments was seeing him out on the dance floor with us during the line dances! He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time. We received so many compliments from our guests.

Absolutely Amazing Service

Chris went above and beyond to make our wedding day flow so nicely. From the time I started communicating with him about booking him to be the Dj and MC for our wedding, he was always very professional, quick at responding to either a phone call, text message, or email. He gave me and my now husband so many helpful suggestions in regards to our playlist which I believe made our wedding ceremony and reception run so beautifully. He even kept checking on both of us throughout the event to make sure we were doing well. He is extremely talented and has the best personality! He even joined in on the dance floor to dance along to the songs that were recommended by our guests! I would book Chris all over again and recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much for making our entire day so beautiful!

The perfect wedding DJ!!

Chris was super helpful in helping me plan my music list. He was super flexible with the timeline and when no one was really dancing at the reception he cranked up the vibes. Super thankful for him, not a single complaint!

Such a AWESOME wedding DJ!!

Chris was all around just awesome from the very first conversation my wife and i had with him all the way up to the last minute of our reception! He was very flexible with everything and made sure he got exactly what we wanted! The communication was great, no misunderstanding or lack. He absolutely nailed our ceremony music and reception of course. He kept the party going and got involved and even danced with us! Just all around a great guy and DJ!

Highly recommend Formal Affair Professional DJ Services!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! The music for every part of the night perfectly set the tone and vibe — from the pre-ceremony and cocktail hour to dinner and dancing. The transitions were seamless, and once the dance floor opened, the energy never stopped! Guests of all ages were out dancing and having a great time all night long. On top of that, Chris was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and really listened to what we wanted. We highly recommend!

Chris does a fantastic job! He is very energetic and gets the party going! He works well with the timelines that I have prepared for both the ceremony and reception. As a planner/day of coordinator it is a great feeling knowing that the DJ is willing to work with the timeline already planned, but that he is also flexible and able to change when needed. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of meeting Chris this past weekend at a wedding at Twig's. He is prompt, professional, and an excellent DJ. He has a great reputation for a reason and I look forward to working with him again soon.
