We Love Big J!

Joel - Big J - was a blast to work with! He is so professional, attentive, responsive, on time, and caring - but even more so, he's fun! He was so flexible with us adding on an extra hour, lighting, and cold sparklers to his package later on. He helped us cut down our first dance song so that we could practice to it during our dance lessons. He also helped us cut down our father and mother dance songs to the right timing. We were able to send suggestions of songs we liked for the set list and he perfectly executed it on the night of! Our guests had an absolute blast dancing to his set.

The Party Never Stopped!

DJ Joel is a master of his craft. Before hand an app was sent to organize all the music, which was a great helped. He stood true to our request. But also, the mixing, cutting in and out of music were perfect. On top of that he has a great personality, friendly and just all around awesome person!

Joel was awesome and easy to work with!

We are so happy Joel DJed our wedding. We got married at the Hacienda Siesta Alegre which is a venue he has worked many times. He was very easy to work with and accommodating. He was okay with us bringing in a saxophone player that he had never met and playing alongside her. He also had this cool app where we could upload songs we liked or didn’t like with notes. He did an amazing job mixing the music and keeping the party going. He was reasonably priced and offer fun add ons such as the sparklers we added to go off during our first and last dances. We would hired Joel again in a heartbeat.
