We were lucky enough to stumble upon That DJ Guy (Justin) online, and so thankful that we chose him to DJ at our wedding! He did the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and it was all perfect! His prices were beyond reasonable, and his services were exceptional.
For the ceremony, I sent Justin a CD with the music to play for the seating, processional, bridal march, and recessionals. He did a lovely job pulling the whole thing together. Before the wedding, Justin gave us a packet to fill out, in which we included information for the bridal party announcements and songs, music for the first dance, parents' dances, cake cutting, etc. It definitely helped keep things organized at the event. We even had to make some last minute changes to the bridal party announcement right beforehand and Justin handled it perfectly with no glitches. He also made sure to ask us when we were ready for him to announce the speeches, cake cutting, and dances, but he wasn't bugging us all night either so we could focus on having fun.
We asked Justin, on a scale from 1-10, to be involved at about a 5. We could have easily asked him to be more involved because he was a really cool guy and not cheesy at all. Even when my grandma requested "the macarena," (she really doesn't know better ha!), Justin made the whole thing funny and people actually got into it. He kept people dancing the whole night.
Justin was extremely professional, organized, and flexible, but also an all around fun DJ. He played exactly the kinds of music that we wanted, kept it clean as we requested, and honored our guests requests. We were pretty impressed that he actually had some of the songs that were requested because we heard a couple obscure ones. We tried We would highly recommend That DJ Guy to anyone getting married on the Eastern Shore, he's guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser :)
Justin Darling, with That DJ Guy, wasn't able to DJ our event, so he referred us to Aaron Thompson, DJ Silk. Aaron brought a feeling to the event that can't be matched! We had several specific requests and Aaron took each one on with a smile and provided a kickin' party! Aaron supplemented the event, along with our other events. He did not make himself the center of attention, like many other DJ's like to do, but he provided great music. At the end of the evening, our guests liked him so much that they were chanting over and over "One more song! One more song!!" Aaron took what we asked for and put it into action making our evening FABULOUS! Thank you Justin for putting us in touch with Aaron. Aaron, thank you for making our wedding reception a memorable one...for us and our guests! You are AWESOME!!!
Justin Darling, That DJ Guy, was not available for our wedding day, so he referred us to Eric. My husband and I had met with Eric and called several of his references who spoke very highly of him. Eric had tons of experience and we were excited to work with him. However, sad to say that on the day of our wedding he disappointed us. While he did a great job of keeping people on the dance floor, he had trouble with the transitions and were betrayed as awkward. In my father’s words, he seemed to be in his own world. We had also reviewed the itinerary two days before the wedding and he missed several things we had discussed. While he dressed professional for our wedding, he made a very rude comment to my sister-in-law. In my opinion a good DJ is someone who helps make things run smoothly on your special day during the reception and Eric was the one vendor that let me down.
That DJ Guy responded with the following comments:
Eric and I have discussed this event time and time again as one of those "bad days". Eric informed me that there were several unforeseen technical errors that occurred during the evening that he was taking care of so that Maria never noticed. While he may have seen withdrawn, he was simply trouble shooting to see that the evening continued without a hitch. With any electrical components, these things are always a possibility. It speaks to Eric's professionalism that he was able to handle these situations without leading on to the guests at the event.
We're happy to hear that Maria was satisfied that the dance floor stayed packed throughout the evening, as we knew that was very important to her. From all accounts, the evening was a success from an entertainment point of view, and for that we are very pleased.
In regards to the "very rude" comment made- I'll copy and paste an exact quote from Eric. As mentioned, him and I have discussed this event at length as it does not reflect the quality we demand of ourselves. While we take full responsibility for the technical difficulties, we feel that this representation of the evening was misunderstood. Per Eric: "She approached me hollering at me to play something "RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I'M THE BRIDE'S GROOM!!!". I jokingly replied "You’re the Bride's Groom?!?!". She corrected herself saying "I'M THE GROOM'S BRIDE!!!" and continued to loudly make her demand with slurred speech. I concluded she must be related to one or the other, but refused to entertain her *request* until she calmed down and spoke to me in a courteous, normal toned, appropriate manner. This took several attempts, and then it was as if she flipped a switch and became extremely friendly and very chatty. At this point, a young man came over to escort her away to *rescue* me from her. And yes, despite her attitude, I did play her request."
I can only assume that there was a misrepresentation of how this incident was handled when it got back to Maria. Unfortunately, when copious amounts of alcohol are consumed, things like this can happen and can be taken out of proportion. Certainly by the time this incident got back to Maria, some details may have been left out to persuade one way or another.
I firmly believe that the way a company responds to criticism says a lot about their character. I readily admit, and accept, that we had a bad day in regards to the technical aspect. We have apologized to Maria about this. I thank her for the honest critique and look forward to using this event to learn from, and become a better provider of, our DJ services.Eric and I have discussed this event time and time again as one of those "bad days".

Justin was great to work with! Everyone kept telling us how they liked the mix of music he was playing. We had quite the variety of tastes present at our wedding (country, hip-hop, pop, metal, classic rock), and he pleased everyone! The lighting he provides is really sweet too and you won't find another dj that has the cool dj booth that can be lit to match your wedding colors. We would definitely recommend Justin to anyone. He really is top notch and you will not be disappointed. Thanks Justin!!
Justin is awesome and great to work with. Everyone was on the dance floor dancing and he was very energetic. Justin is very responsive with his emails and truly made my reception!!!
The lighting was beautiful and really helped set the mood for my reception. Justin played great, up-to-beat and current music. He did a great job and we would hire him again!!
Justin was great at my bayside wedding at the beach. I gave him my list of songs I wanted and he took the time to add other songs that he knew would fit my style wedding. He was a great addition to my fun, casual, beachy, wedding:)
We loved working with Justin in every way. He really gave us so many options to choose from and created the perfect wedding for us. Everything we had asked, he delivered. Highly recommended

What a great couple! Myrick and Jennie were great! A lot of the time my clients make me feel more like friends and family, and those events are the best! Thanks guys!What a great couple!

Justin was an absolute pleasure to work with. To say that he went above and beyond the call of duty would be an absolute understatement. At our first meeting, I knew right away that I could trust Justin to keep me and my guests happy. Justin is friendly, engaging and has tons of energy. I booked him on the spot and consider that to be one of the best decisions I made during my planning process.
We met a few more times after the initial meeting and I filled out a worksheet that he provides that helps him to understand your specific likes and dislikes in musical taste. During the wedding, every song he played was spot on. I can’t tell you how many guests complimented Justin’s song choices and energy.
In addition to Justin’s professionalism and musical taste, he is incredibly well spoken and introduced each person/event with energy and much care. He really took the time to rehearse the pronunciations of each person’s name and he is truly willing to wait on you hand and foot.
Also, I can’t forget to mention that we took advantage of his awesome lighting abilities. The “under the stars” effect that shimmered as we danced to our first dance and our name in lights on the floor really added that special touch to the reception space that we were searching for.
With all of this being said, I would be remiss if I did not mention that I believe Justin’s best quality as a person and as a DJ, is his absolute dedication to making your day everything you dream. Justin is truly one of a kind…you won’t be disappointed!
Justin was AMAZING! He truly made our wedding one to remember. From our grand entrance to the end of the evening, everything was absolutely perfect! I told him I wanted the dance portion of night to equal that of the hottest clubs in New York, and I most definetely got that! Everyone was both amazed and thrilled that every special request they made he had and he played. I highly reccommend "That DJ Guy" for any special event!!!!! Thank you so much Justin for an amazing night!!!
Justin provided us with both DJ services and special lighting. We received nothing but fantastic, quality service from him the entire time that we worked together. Justin was enthusiastic and professional, yet laid back and easy to talk to. His experience with weddings and special events has provided him with wonderful ideas and expertise in the entertainment field. I would recommend this vendor 100%.

Glad I could help with the lights--the icing on the cake!This was my first time at Baywood Greens, and I must say--Lauren took care of the visuals by selecting an awesome venue.

Justin was very professional but also entertaining and fun! Came to my reception in a suit (which I appreciated given what I've seen DJ's wear to other weddings). Played a great selection of the music from categories we were looking for like beach music, big band, 50's, and then dance music into the evening ours. There was something for everyone and he kept the party moving. He also did a great job MCing the event and followed our order of events perfectly!
Justin did a fantastic job as our DJ and our lighting guru. The music was perfect -- he listened to our vision for the music throughout the ceremony and reception and came up with a great playlist. He also did our uplighting and it came out really wonderfully. He showed us a few different color options and walked me through how they would look at our venue (Lighthouse Sound). I would work with Justin again in an instant, and it doesn't hurt that he's the most reasonably priced DJ we found.

Anne and Mike were the perfect couple! I'll never forget the toast, and how you are Skins/Steelers fans, and republican/democrat..and how you were featured on a MNF game in full dress!Anne and Mike were the perfect couple!

Justin was great to work with. He was responsive, professional and flexible enough to meet all of our requests (the many that we had). He made sure all of our guests enjoyed themselves. We would recommend his services to anyone looking for an energetic DJ that takes pride in his craft.
