About

Afford-A-DJ is based in Hamilton, Ohio, and offers wedding DJ and entertainment services in the surrounding areas. Hi, I am Dennis Chaney (Dj D). I have won awards on both The Knot & WeddingWire and if you visit my website you can read most of my reviews from the past 10 years. I started Afford-A-Dj because I wanted to give people that don’t have thousands to spend on music for their wedding, another option. I'm always there early, and the last one to leave. My price even includes playing the ceremony if needed. One thing I don't do is charge for travel time, setup time, or tear down time, only charging for the hours played. I do, however, charge extra for weddings over 25 miles from home. With 2 portable pa units, one with a wireless microphone, I can do ceremonies even where there is no electricity. My price includes putting together an itinerary, playlist, captains call, announcements, and MC for the night. I have a great sound system, some over-the-top lights, with wireless mics for the announcements. I’ve been playing music for most of my life, even spinning records and CDs at the local skating rink back in the 80s. I consider it a privilege to play music for someone’s wedding and enjoy what I do. My job is to take the pressure away from the future bride and groom or whoever is doing the planning. I always tell people, ”If you want a High Dollar Dj for an Affordable rate”, I’m your man, thanks, Dj D

Great Time!!

We have hosted several weddings, birthday parties, and retirement parties throughout the years and always had a DJ. Just recently we hosted a Celebration of Life for our son. Afford-A- Dj provided the entertainment. The DJ goes above and beyond to make your event a special one. The music was great, the DJ is very outgoing and friendly, he stays on top of everything, makes all announcements, and provides a microphone for anyone to make a speech. We will always go with Afford-A-Dj.

Very professional and amazing to work with!

There are so many good things to say about working with DJ Dingy. He was very easy to work with and made everything simple for us. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions and concerns . I would highly recommend him for any party where you want to have a good time. He knows how to keep people on the dance floor and how to move things along.
And he will definitely have your interest in mind when preparing for your event!

Amazing dj!

Our DJ was incredible! Our event coordinator was not the best during the reception, and without him our schedule would have been so off. Dennis was so easy and amazing to work with!! He kept everyone dancing and we had so many compliments on him. HIRE HIM!!

Was able to help us in a pinch!

My husband had last minute military deployment training and we had to reschedule our wedding date. This DJ came in clutch last minute when our original DJ couldn't make the new date and checked in with us every step of the way! Thank you! He did a great job for not having a lot of time prepare. (a week)

He did a great job for my wedding! He really helped me get a timeline down of everything, he checked in throughout the event.

He was so great leading up to the wedding, he was available for calls when I needed suggestions or help with figuring out the timeframe of everything. I really wanted to have a dance with both my mom and dad but couldn’t figure out how to add both into my itinerary. He came up with such an amazing idea of having the normal father/daughter, mother of groom/mother dance and then go into cutting the cake. After we cut the cake he made an announcement saying I dedicated this song to my mom (Mom by Megan trainer”) and half way through he invited the bridesmaids and other moms out on the dance floor and it was so special! He would come check in on both me and my husband during the reception and really made sure we were happy with everything that was going on.

Bride and Groom


I can't say enough about working with Dennis Chaney from Afford a DJ. He took the time to meet with us on such short notice. Listened to what we wanted for our reception, not only from the music that we wanted played but how we wanted the overall atmosphere to be . How we wanted our guest to feel. And really kept the party going . He is not only a great guy that plays music for you , he is the coordinator, the MC, with a great personality that made even the little things that were not going as planned funny and most of all memorable. There is not a doubt that this is the DJ you want to hire. I can't thank you enough Dennis Chaney for helping to make my dream come true. You are the best at what you do, you are an amazing person , We did not just hire a DJ , we made a great Friend when we met you. God blessed you with a talent and we will be looking forward to hiring you again and again.
From the bottom of my heart Thank you

Awesome Dj

Dj D was awesome. It rained for our ceremony so it had to be moved inside and he accommodated for that and had the crowd dancing all night. Thanks again Dj D!

Great Evening!

Dennis was wonderful to work with - dependable and prompt! He seemed experienced with all the ins and outs of wedding reception protocol and kept things moving. We had a lot of kids and he even played songs that appealed to them. Lots of fun!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
