Best dj ever

DJ Carey was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation. The planning process was smooth and well-organized, and he took the time to understand our music preferences and the overall vibe we wanted for the day.
On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. The DJ kept the energy high, the dance floor packed, and the transitions between moments were flawless. He read the crowd perfectly and played the right songs at the right time, creating an incredible atmosphere all night long.
Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the music was. DJ Carey played a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly to any couple looking for a truly top-notch wedding DJ.

A Wonderful Experience

John and Carrie were such a delight to work with. John was so flexible when we talked with him and worked so hard to make our day really special. We are both Australian and so had a number of requests so that the music would be what we were hoping for and feel personal to us and our guests. John really took the time to talk with us and really understand what we wanted. I was having a tough time finding a DJ who would be open to so many personalization’s – a number of them were very strict on their own sets or wanting to ‘feel the vibe of the room’ to make decisions but John truly listened to us and our day would not have been the same without him. We also hired the photobooth through A2Z which Carrie took care of. All our guests had a fun and wonderful time and everything worked so seamlessly.

Great DJ company!

We used A2Z for our wedding day and we couldnt have asked for a better DJ! Steve took great care of us, from helping answer any questions we had, to keeping in frequent contact leading up to the big day and by far hyping up the crowd on the day! He was professional, easy to communicate with and simply a joy to work with! His music hyped up the party and got everyone on the dance floor! I highly recommend A2Z to anyone looking to have a great DJ and an unforgettable day!

The Perfect Wedding!

John was our DJ and it was absolutely perfect. I had talked to 3 different DJs and went with John because of his years of experience, passion, and competence. I needed someone who was capable and take-charge in order for me to relax and trust that everything would be taken care of. And he still surpassed our expectations! We had several people tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and the best music. People joked that they didn't even get to enjoy the open bar because they kept rushing back to the dance floor! John was very thorough with the timeline and kept us on track. He had excellent ideas and suggestions but always emphasized that it was our day and we should do what we want. There was not a single thing that went "wrong" - the whole day was like a dream and perfect. And the sparkler send-off was so fun! It was the perfect finale to the night. I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you John!!

Fantastic Experience

Steve and the team at A2Z were wonderful. Steve worked with us to develop and personalize our playlists. He gave us recommendations and notes on song choices. He had the reception dance floor full the entire night, and everyone had a great experience.

Highly Recommend A2Z!

We hired A2Z for lighting for our October 2024 wedding and could not have been happier! Complete professionals, so easy to work with, and reasonable prices! They did fairy lights for our dance floor and uplighting around the room. It TRANSFORMED a generic ballroom into a stunning, romantic setting. HIGHLY recommend booking A2Z!!

Outstanding Experience!

From start to finish, A2Z was outstanding! Working with John and Carrie leading up to our wedding was a breeze—their templates made planning so much easier. On the big day, John did an incredible job and created what we’ll always remember as the perfect soundtrack to our wedding. He has fantastic presence, catered to us as a couple, and made sure the music perfectly matched the vibe of the day. So many of our guests commented that John was hands down the best DJ they’ve ever experienced at a wedding, and we couldn’t agree more. He was personable, attentive, and truly made us feel cared for. We were initially on the fence about adding uplighting, but we’re so glad we did—it brought our space to life and made the dance floor atmosphere even more fun.

It was a first-class experience with A2Z, and John made our day unforgettable. We highly recommend A2Z for anyone looking to make their wedding day truly special!

Fantastic DJ

After our initial interview, my husband and I knew we needed John to be our DJ. He has great energy, and he has a great knowledge of various types of music. All of our guests said they loved all the music, and the dance floor was never empty. From the ceremony to the reception, our music was top notch and made for one heck of a party. Special shoutout to John for being flexible on our big day. We never had to worry if the plan changed last minute. He took care of everything!

The best decision!

Steve’s dedication, support, and professionalism was unmatched! He was incredibly responsive and creative with us, especially since our we wanted our wedding to be the perfect blend of two different cultures. Boy, did Steve deliver! Our guests had a ball, everyone talked about how much fun they had and that they had never danced so much at a wedding. Couldn’t have happened without Steve. Gracias!

Perfect Evening

We couldn't recommend A2Z more highly. John and his team managed a ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception without a hitch. He was extremely responsive in preparing our event, helping us curate music selection, and planning the evening's schedule. Day of, his setup was timely and professional, he kept the reception moving as planned, and he was adaptable as the evening went on. Most importantly throughout the night, he made sure that we were enjoying our wedding and not worrying about the details. If you need a DJ and emcee who is fully prepared to manage an event, A2Z is an excellent choice.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We love John and Carrie. They are an awesome couple and very easy to work with. They are pur top vendor for entertainment services. We initially used them for my wedding in October 2016, and once we launched our event planning company we immediately reached out to them to provide entertainment for our launch party in February 2017. If you are looking for a great DJ that gets the crowd moving, look no further. Photo booth, they got it! Games for your wedding reception, they have that also! They have been doing this for years and they are very professional. We highly recommend them! :-)
