Wedding Reception

John was absolutely wonderful to work with! So many of our guests complimented how fun our wedding reception was and raved about the music he played. He truly helped create an amazing atmosphere. Plus, he was very affordable, which was perfect for our smaller budget. Highly recommend!

Fun and engaging!

We’ve worked with John Coyne from Absolute Disc Jockey for a wide range of events, from weddings to elementary school parties and 8th grade dances. John consistently gets everyone up and dancing, bringing great energy and engaging the crowd. He even manages to get shy or awkward teens onto the dance floor. John offers much more than just music—he creates interactive games and entertainment that make each event unforgettable.

Most fun wedding ever!

Ever since my sister’s wedding 15 years ago I knew when the day came I would want John Coyne to DJ my wedding which he did last month. Music and dancing are very important to me and I knew I didn’t have to worry about them if John did our wedding. Several people have told us that our wedding was the most fun wedding they have ever been to and I think a lot of that reason is because of John’s fantastic skills. He is a wonderful MC and knows how to energize a crowd. He has done a great job at other family and friends’ weddings that I have been to as well. It was so easy to use his online program to pick out music and organize the event announcements. His photo booth was a huge hit and I am going to treasure those photos forever. The backgrounds to choose from were gorgeous and the ability to text the photos immediately was appreciated. He added a special flair to the mix and he handled a minor hiccup with grace when my mother-in-law encountered an issue with her first dance with my husband. He seamlessly adjusted our schedule and ensured a fantastic time for all. I also know John from him hosting karaoke at various venues that I went to on a weekly basis for years. He is professional but also someone I love spending time with due to his wit and friendly nature. I highly recommend him for any of your events—he will get everyone on the dance floor or singing their hearts out onstage.

Party on the dance floor

John at AbsoluteDiscJockey was a rockstar at our 10/1/23 wedding. He carefully considered all of our song requests and made fantastic playlists for the cocktail hour, dinner service, and best of all, the dance floor. No kidding -- no one left the dance floor for 4 hours. He crushed it! Book John for a kickass wedding DJ.

Overall great experience

Hired Absolute DJ for a karaoke birthday party. Worked with John to book, and he was great. He was flexible and attentive to what we needed to make the surprise work. DJ Kenny was engaging, professional, and courteous. Pricing was very fair. Absolutely recommend this team!

My husband and I hired John from Absolute Disc Jockey to DJ our wedding in 2005. I was looking for a DJ who also offered karaoke services and was referred to him. From the getgo, he was friendly, professional, polite and accommodating. He allowed us to come see him DJ a couple other weddings before committing. He wears a tux and fits right in. He was able to play the music we requested plus he played ethnic music we supplied from both my husband's and my culture for special dances. He is a great MC, knows how to keep the hosts of the party happy as well as the guests by taking requests. Since then he has DJd two other friends' weddings. I still keep up with John on Facebook and go to his karaoke nights when I can after all these years. When I go to karaoke nights I find out there are a few others whose weddings he DJd as well. I'd say that is customer satisfaction! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.

I have used Absolute Disc Jockey on a number of occasions over the last 10 years. Most recent was my wedding in October 2015. John and his team provided DJ, audio visual, photo booth and Karaoke services for my wedding and I could not have been happier with their work. His prices are competitive and he treats his clients with superlative care! I highly recommend Absolute Disc Jockey if you want great experience for your wedding or event.

We met John from Absolute Disc Jockey several years ago at the For Julie Foundation events. We loved the fact that John donated his time to DJ for such a great foundation dear to our family for many, many years. In 2012, we used Absolute Disc Jockey for our wedding DJ. The music was incredible during the entire reception! It was obvious John knew how to keep the energy alive. All ages were having a great time dancing to his music! People still to this day say how much fun the reception was. John even coordinated with 3 of my friends to sing to me as a surprise. It was amazing and the guests thoroughly enjoyed watching-as did I!

My family and friends enjoyed the wedding so much that my brother hired John to DJ at his wedding in 2015. We all know that a DJ can make or break a wedding reception. John succeeded again with everything from the uplighting to the incredible music to the beautiful monogram on the dance floor.

If you're looking for a great DJ who is dressed professionally, very personable, and will make sure your wedding music is coordinated perfectly, I would absolutely hire John at Absolute Disc Jockey. Thanks John for making both mine and my brother's wedding reception absolutely perfect!

I have known John Coyne for over twenty years and I have seen him in multiple D.J. capacities: He was Karaoke D.J. for over eight years at a restaurant/tavern in Skokie where I worked. John was a true professional and tons of fun! We always had a packed house on Karaoke nights and that was due to his amazing regular client building skills. During that time, my now husband and I hired him to D.J. our wedding. He was thorough in his planning and kept our special evening moving along on schedule! He, of course, played all the music that we chose, but he played music that kept all of our wedding guests dancing until the very end. Many of our friends also hired John to D.J. their weddings with the same fun and lighthearted atmosphere results, keeping guests dancing late into the night! As life has evolved for us, we once again hired John to D.J./emcee for several of our children’s school events and our PTA has hired Absolutediscjockey.com for many of the “Parent’s Night Out’ events. Again, always professional and playing to the crowd with expertise! In all of the time that I have known John and many shows later, it’s his ability to read the crowd and keep everyone happy that stands out the most! Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Absolutediscjockey.com for any event that you many be planning whether it be your one special occasion or a weekly Karaoke show!
