Great experience - straightforward planning, clear communication, and full dance floor all night.

AJ at 1Wave DJs offered straightforward planning (no stress for us), with clear communication of expectations and cost. He supported our audio for the ceremony (outdoors) and the reception. The dance floor was packed all night. Would recommend

The best DJ

I highly recommend 1Wave DJs AJ for any occassions. Not just his music is awesome and up to date, he is also very accomodating and making sure everyone was having fun at our birthday party held last weekend. AJ has all the set up, cool lights and sound system that makes the party going. You can request your favorite music and he has it playing for you. He made our party way cooler and memorable. 1Wavedjs is the best in town!

A.j was an excellent D.j

we recently used 1Wave for our halloween themed wedding. A.J was a great D.J & MC and went with the flow kinda guy.. he was able to play all songs we requested and helped keep us on track threw out the night. he dressed well, was well mannered and talented in his skill. A.J was well organized and help us with a general outline of what to do and what songs are typically played. we will definitely book AJ again at our next event. 5 out of 5 stars for sure
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
