DJ Joe Nardi helped making our day special!

Joe does an amazing job in keeping the energy throughout the whole reception. The dance floor was lovely the entire night and he incorporated all of our must have songs as well as ones from genres that we really liked. He did a great job with the timeline and the uplighting was great.

Fantastic dj!

Joe was fantastic! Our dance floor was packed with people of all ages! We received so many compliments on how great our DJ was and that he “never missed a beat”! It was a great mix of current pop hits, throwbacks, and Italian music!

Wedding with DJ Nardi

Absolutely best experience with DJ Nardi! I did not get off the dance floor the whole night! Everything from the introductions to the music was perfect and we got so many compliments from our guests.

I gave him a list of songs we wanted but he added so more that fit the list perfectly,
I would 20/10 recommend!

Joe was the best!

Joe is the best DJ out there! We would 10000/10 recommend him! He was so easy to work with. The form we had to fill out was great. It was so detailed and easy. We were able to put every single song we wanted for the special moments throughout the nighti. We had a call with him right before the wedding to go over everything and he 1000% took our vision and made it happen. Everyone was on the dance floor the WHOLE night! If you are looking for a DJ that knows how to get a party started then Joe is your guy!! Thanks again Joe!

Wick Wedding

Joe came highly recommended by several family and friends, and now we can’t recommend him enough! From the very beginning, he made the planning process so easy and stress-free. Joe took the time to really understand what we wanted and was incredibly accommodating, always quick to respond to our questions and requests.

He nailed the music perfectly, especially during the father/daughter dance—mixing songs seamlessly and creating moments we’ll never forget. Throughout the night, Joe kept the energy high and the dance floor packed, playing an amazing mix of songs that everyone loved.

Thank you so much, Joe, for making our special day even more memorable with your talent and professionalism. We’re so grateful! Marri and James

Wish We Could Leave 10 Stars!


Music is such an important element of making or breaking a wedding and we can confidently say that working with Joe + AfterHours Music made our wedding one for the books! Not only is Joe amazing to work with, he knows how to get the party started and keep the dance floor packed all night long. We've gotten countless compliments about how this was the best wedding guests had ever been to -- guests were dancing in their seats during dinner, waiting for the dance floor to "officially open". Trust us when we say, ain't no party like a Nardi party!
