    Amazing -- all i can say

    Chuck and Joe were OUTSTANDING! They checked in several times through the reception to make sure everything was going ok with the music, just to make sure we were happy. They played the music perfectly; adjusting to the crowd and what they liked. They worked with us by adding an extra song dedication right on the spot. We also got the photobooth -- Do it!! They managed everything, had amazing props, and even put a book together of everyone's pictures so we could keep it. They even helped with coordinating other things throughout the night just to take them off our plate -- things that weren't their responsibility. We talked over and over how happy we were with both Joe and Chuck. Hire them for your wedding -- it'll be even better than you imagined!!

    Joe is the best!

    Joe was extremely professional, helpful, and easy to work with from the very first informational meeting we had with him. He walked us through everything we needed to know in full clarity and honesty. It was an easy choice for us because he is clearly a veteran in this field, and he is personable and very accommodating. He is also a fantastic DJ! Our guests had a great time on the dance floor, and Joe made us feel very comfortable from the beginning of the process to the very end. We would absolutely recommend Joe and his team.

    The Best in the Biz

    We were blown away by Joe and Show on the Road, and our guests kept complimenting our music days later! Every part of the process was smooth and easy for us, the rates were great and the list of services they provide is extensive. Joe was phenomenal at reading our crowd and playing off them to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed. Couldn’t recommend them more!

    Best choice you will make

    Could not recommend more highly!

    I wasn't picky about many things for our wedding day, but I really, really cared about the music. We are at the age where we're going to multiple weddings in the summer, and I'm starting to think most DJs get away with hitting play on the same canned wedding playlist. I made this known at our initial consultation, and Joe got what I was saying, held onto that, and EXCEEDED our expectations.

    By far one of the most frequent compliments we got from our friends was Joe, our DJ. His mixes and transitions were perfect, so much fun, and our dance floor remained full the entire night. One of our family friends plays in a wedding band and said that this was the most full, and fun dance floor he had ever seen.

    Beyond this, Joe's professionalism, follow through, and ability to take initiative made Show on the Road one of our easiest, and favorite wedding vendors. Would make this decision all over again, and 100% recommend to any friend of mine! Thanks for everything!!

    Show On The Road DJs & Photo Booth's reply:

    Sarah, WOW! Thank you so much for the kind words and for putting your trust in us. We do not take this responsibility lightly. So happy to hear you had fun because I surely did!

    DJ Joe is THAT guy

    Joe and "Show on the Road" was super awesome to work with during the wedding planning process. Do you want your guests to talk about how awesome the DJ was after your event? Then you need Joe. He honored all of our requests and he did the rest to make the night extra special. Joe never let the party die.

    In addition, Chuck, the photo booth attendant, was extremely great to work with and added an extra layer of fun to our wedding day. Fun props, great template for the pictures, and copies for everyone made this a must have in our package with Show on the Road.

    Show On The Road DJs & Photo Booth's reply:

    Kyle and Giselle, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to work with you. Our job was so fun that night because your friends and families were so fun and energetic as well. You did an EPIC job planning a celebration of a lifetime! Congrats!

    Best Wedding Ever!!!!!

    Joe Medrano was our point of contact leading up the wedding and our DJ on the day of. He was very responsive when answering our emailed questions and was able to accommodate all our requests including merging two songs together for the mother/son dance for the groom. He was also always very courteous and professional. Entering our details into the portal was very easy and helped us visualize the course of the night. We had a full dance floor the whole night and we were receiving compliments about the music for many of our guests the whole night as well. My uncle has been to dozens of weddings since he was married, 35 years ago, (we have a big family) and he told me he danced more at our wedding than he has since his own. Thanks again Joe!!!! - Mike & Colleen

    I’m so glad that you had a great time! Your kind words on this review is very much appreciated. THANK YOU!

    Fantastic DJ

    We had a personal friend recommend Show on the Road. We met with Joe via a zoom call and felt like he was a perfect fit right away. He was upfront with his style, services they provided and cost. He didn’t try to upsell us and just talked to us about our vision and what we wanted. We booked him about 10 months before our wedding and he was always responsive to our emails during the planning process. We had him for our ceremony/cocktail hour as well as reception. My husband and I were talking to guests for quite a while before we got out on the dance floor, but we had people coming up to us saying how awesome our DJ was. We had a ton of people all ages out there dancing all night. We called a last minute audible for the intro of our 5 year old son to walk out with his friends and Joe was on top of it. He also helped me figure out how to announce/word the surprise I had for my husband during our first dance. Chuck was our photobooth attendant and he was great. He put everyone’s pics in the album for us and had them write messages. Joe also checked in with us periodically which I appreciated. We would highly recommend Joe and Chuck with Show on the Road to anyone considering them!!

    Stacy and Nick, it was an honor and pleasure to be your DJ! Thank you for placing your trust in us! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness.

    Absolutely perfect!

    We couldn’t of asked for a better DJ on our wedding day! He was absolutely amazing an truly set the vibe for the whole evening. So many people came up to us telling us how great the music was and how much fun they had. If i could give them more than 5 stars i definitely would! HIGHLY recommend!

    Show On The Road DJs & Photo Booth's reply:

    Kelsey and Kamil, it was an absolute pleasure and honor to be your DJ. Thank you for the kind words. Your friends and family were so much fun to be around. We did pass out a few business cards that night, so I hope to see you again at a future wedding!

    Best,

    Musical journey

    On April 25, 2023, I got married to the most beautiful woman in the world!
    During this day Chuck (Show on the Road) conducted a musical journey in which our two worlds were merged into one. Clear communication with us and he managed to sublimely translate our fairy tale into and with music.

    Show On The Road DJs & Photo Booth's reply:

    Thank you for trusting your entertainment to Show On The Road. We appreciated the opportunity to be of service to you!

    Best,
    Joe & Chuck

    We got so many compliments on our DJ!

    LGBT friendly DJ and photobooth! I married the love of my life on May 6, 2023, I couldn’t have done it without the amazing services Chuck with show on the road provided. During our outdoor ceremony, everybody was able to hear our officiant and us clearly, there was not a dry eye around! During the reception, everybody was complementing our choice of DJ because they were truly amazing! Chuck also went above and beyond to help us keep on our timeline and make sure that each moment was perfect! Chuck and Joe worked seamlessly together to provide the best service of DJ and photo booth for our whole day! The planning process was so easy, and I honestly cannot compliment Chuck and show on the road enough!!! The photo booth album Chuck gave us is our favorite memory to cherish from our day.

    Show On The Road DJs & Photo Booth's reply:

    Christy and Lauren, thanks so much for the kind words ... Chuck and I are so glad that you enjoyed your wedding celebration! Wishing both of you a lifetime of happiness and bliss!

    Best,

    Great wedding experience.

    Chuck with show on the road did a great job for our wedding. He was quick to respond and helped plan out all of the events for our reception. On the day of he was there to set up early and everything sounded great. He also did a great job keeping the party going during our reception. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

    Great service!

    We had a great experience with show on the road! Chuck was really great at communicating on our wedding day what was happening when and made it really easy for us to stay on schedule. The only thing I would say didn’t go 100% as planned was not all of our requested songs were played, and some songs we didn’t request were played instead. but if you do book this DJ service just make sure you communicate what songs are the most important for you guys to have played or they may not be played! But overall he still did an amazing job and I would recommend!! One thing I really liked was when everyone left to get ready for the send off and we did our private last dance, he took a few pictures of our last dance and sent it to us after the wedding was over. It was a really nice surprise and showed he went above and beyond to make his customers happy :)

    Joe was an amazing dj!

    As the groom I never thought I would be writing a review but he was so good that I had to! Joe was absolutely amazing throughout the entire cermony and reception! Joe knew the exact songs to play at the right time. He was so good that it almost felt like he was one of our coordinators, with his attention to detail and making sure the night went so smooth. I would recommend Joe to anyone that wants the best DJ for your event! 10/10.

    Absolutely Perfect Experience! Professional, Flexible, Stress-free

    The Show on the Road helped to make my husband's and my wedding reception absolutely perfect! Throughout our entire 9-month process of wedding planning, the Show on the Road responded to all our emails and calls in a very timely manner. When it came time to plan the songs for each part of the reception, Joe, one of the DJ's, displayed his professionalism by guiding my husband and me in choosing the songs that fit all our family and friends' taste. Show on the Road also was extremely flexible in the last minute changes that my husband and I had to the order for some of the parts of the reception. As a result of its professionalism and flexibility, Show on the Road helped to make my husband's and my wedding planning practically stress-free and therefore, the most wonderful day of our lives. My husband and I highly recommend to Show on the Road for any wedding or special occasion that calls for fantastic music and a ton of dancing.

    An Elevated Experience!

    Show on the Road did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job at our wedding! When we first met with Joe, we were feeling overwhelmed by the process of selecting music. We wanted our guests to have fun, but the thought of selecting all that music was daunting! Luckily, Show on the Road made it so easy for us to curate our perfect day, from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Joe was so responsive to our requests and really kept the day (and night) flowing beautifully.
    All of our custom requests were handled perfectly - from custom songs to custom timestamps to last-minute song requests. Joe found a way to weave all of it together absolutely seamlessly. The music was paced out perfectly to ensure that all guests had their musical tastes sated. Joe catered to our guests so well, and it felt like the night just got better and better.
    Show on the Road also handled our sound for the ceremony - we were so grateful that all of our guests were able to hear what was being said - as well as our photobooth. It was great to have all of those pieces through one vendor, and it really made our wedding that much more enjoyable!

    Fantastic Service!

    We had such a great experience with Show On The Road from beginning to end. They are a recommended vendor by our venue and it was obvious from the first consultation why. Both Joe and Chuck are very experienced and personable people. They were able to give us a vision of what our day was going to look like down to the smallest of details because they knew our venue that well. Chuck was so much fun to work with the day of our wedding. He was great at communicating what to expect and help our day move along smoothly. We got so many compliments from our guests on how much fun the music was! We had guests out on the dance floor until the very end of the night.

    Amazing!! 10/10

    We hired Chuck and he was AMAZING! He went above and beyond what was actually his responsibility to make my wedding stress free and make it so I didn’t have to think about a thing. My maid of honor unfortunately got Covid last minute and couldn’t be at my wedding, and Chuck also helped my brothers execute on getting her speech recorded and surprising me by playing it at the reception! Absolutely loved Chuck, he was the best. Definitely hire these guys!!! Music choice was amazing and everyone had the best time

    Amazing! Definitely Recommended!

    I'm really glad we decided to go with Show on the Road for our DJ and Photobooth! They have a chat with you before you sign any contracts to get a feel for what you are looking for. Any time I had questions about anything, they were quick to respond with answers. They have a user friendly online platform where you input timeline, wedding party info, officient info, and song preferences with a must-play list! It made everything really easy and less stressful with everything else going on. They also go through everything about 2 weeks before the big day to make sure everything you want is included.

    Chuck was out DJ and he is the BEST! He did a really great job of reading the room and playing songs that would get everyone hyped and dancing. He also managed a little bit of drama with ease.

    The photobooth attendants were fun and my husband and I and all of our guests had so much fun with pictures! Going through the album at the end of the night was the best! We also get digital copies for those who didn't make it into the album.

    Basically, HIRE THEM! THEY ARE AMAZING!

    Absolutely Phenomenal

    We went into wedding planning with a general idea of what we wanted in a DJ, and after interviewing multiple vendors we ultimately settled on Show On The Road. In retrospect we got extremely lucky to have landed such a fantastic group. A DJ does so much more than play music - they literally dictate the mood for the entire evening, and Joe put on a performance. Everything from the level of communication to the sound volume was spot-on. He did such a great job that we literally had guests asking if he was our wedding coordinator. Thank you Joe for exceeding our every expectation and making our night special! Our guests would have had an entirely different experience otherwise.
    A few things of note after working with Show On The Road: — 1. Ability to mix music on the fly (as opposed to other DJs who just "press play") — 2. Online portal to submit songs suggestions ahead of time (he even allowed us to use one of our Spotify playlist) — 3. Provided a hotline for guests to text song suggestions during the reception — 4. Provided mic setups for our officiant/speakers — 5. Phenomenal level of communication/coordination during and leading up to the wedding

    Awesome DJ!

    My husband and I got married on 3/12/22. We worked with Joe from Show on the Road and he was awesome! He understood our vision and everything was so perfect. I did not leave the dance floor the whole night!! You will not regret booking with them!

    Seamless from start to finish

    Chuck was the DJ for our pandemic-delayed wedding reception, and he made it a party worth waiting for. He was professional, fun, and didn’t miss a beat in taking requests and keeping the evening running smoothly with all our vendors. Our guests all told us how awesome Chuck was and how much they enjoyed themselves. Major props to Show on the Road for their responsiveness throughout the planning process. We couldn’t recommend them and Chuck highly enough.

    Great DJ Service

    My Fiancée and I decided to book Show on The Road due to the comments made from previous weddings! Knowing that the DJs are highly experienced and the owners actually care about the customer really aided in our decision. Chuck was able to read the rhythm of the room and adjust accordingly to keep the guests entertained. For the price we paid (which was VERY reasonable compared to other DJ services), we were very happy with the result! We will be recommending them to our friends and family if they are ever in need of a DJ service!
