Best DJ in Town

James was incredible from start to finish. He was easy to work with, read the room perfectly, and kept the dance floor full all night. The music flowed seamlessly, the timing was spot-on, and he helped make the night feel fun, effortless, and unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding.

11/1/2025 - Jeff & Deb's Wedding

James did a pheromonal job as MC and DJ for our wedding!

He does a no pressure initial consultation where he thoroughly answers any questions and explains his style/approach to handling a wedding day. Throughout the planning process, James was always available to answer any questions and assist with the craziness of wedding planning. He provides a stellar spreadsheet that helps give you an idea of wedding timelines, key music choices, and different small wedding tidbits. We had multiple email threads to get ideas plus a few final review sessions before we finalized all plans heading into the wedding day.

On the wedding day itself, James was active and really helped to keep things flowing. We had multiple sites at our venue, but James was able to easily set-up 3 different locations for ceremony, cocktail, and reception. He was on top of helping to assist our coordinator with ensuring we were moving along our timeline and transitioning smoothly. He was checked in with us himself multiple times through the night which really help us ensure we were on the same page through the reception with the many events happening in quick succession. I had spent months working on creating the dinnertime and open dance playlists - James knocked it out the park with adding his own flare of songs and timing to ensure the energy levels were high throughout the night! He has a background in EDM production & DJing so it was perfect match for the style of night we had, lots of hype drops and smooth song transitions.

Overall, James was essential to making our wedding night a success! We loved having him and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone that is professional and personable.

Outstanding Service

I HIGHLY recommend All The Above Events to anyone hosting an event! James is incredibly organized and communicates really fast. There was never a point during my wedding where I didn't feel like I was in good hands. Shout out to Mike, our DJ, who had everyone on the dance floor the entire night!

Amazing Experience! So much wedding dancing!

James was an amazing DJ!! I really wanted people to dance a lot at my wedding, and he definitely made that happen! He brought great vibes, was a funny emcee, and did a great job with the music. He was also so easy to work with in the planning process, and he also took a bunch of videos of the dancing and our grand exit (which was super helpful since we didn't have a videographer). Highly recommend!!!

An Amazing DJ For Our Wedding

James was an amazing DJ for our wedding. Throughout the entire process he was extremely professional and a joy to work with. He has a very detailed way of providing a playlist for him through all the different parts of the wedding. We also requested a photobooth from him, which was both affordable and provided excellent quality prints.

He even took special requests of songs we wanted to be played during the table release/dinner service and helped make the entire evening engaging for our guests.

Thank you for making our night so special and it was an absolute pleasure to work with you!

The perfect dj for us!

My husband and I eloped and originally decided not to have a wedding, but we changed our minds last minute and ended up planning one in under six months. We knew we wanted a DJ but had no idea where to start. After coming across All The Above Events on Google, we decided to reach out—and we’re so glad we did!

James got back to us incredibly quickly and was so informative from the start. As someone who had no idea how many details go into wedding planning, I was overwhelmed—but James made the process feel manageable and even enjoyable. Scheduling a video call with him was super easy, and as soon as we met him virtually, we knew we didn’t need to look any further. His vibe was exactly what we were looking for.

As the big day approached and things got more stressful, James continued to be supportive, responsive, and accommodating. He helped us stay on track with all the details and made us feel confident that the entertainment side of things was completely under control. He continued to follow up until the day of, making sure that all the finalized details were set and that we felt fully prepared.

The day of the wedding, James absolutely delivered. The energy, the music, the flow—everything was perfect. Our guests had an amazing time. He read the crowd effortlessly and kept the dance floor alive all night. We also added in his karaoke package, which was a huge hit and brought a whole new level of fun to the reception!

We’re so grateful we found All The Above Events and had James be a part of such a special day. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, passionate, and genuinely cares about making your wedding unforgettable, James is your guy! 

Thank you so much James for working with us, and I hope to cross paths in the future!

Wedding DJ/MC

James was our DJ/MC at our wedding, and he did such a great job of keeping the evening going and orchestrating what was an amazing (but very busy!) day. He jumped in to help us and our photographer fit in a BUNCH of family and friend photos right after the ceremony before quickly transitioning to our reception, speeches, and the dance floor. We appreciate how flexible and responsive James was to our requests and vision for the wedding. It was such a pleasure having his support and expertise for our wedding!

Professional, Great Attention to Detail, Reads the Dance Floor Well

Just had a wedding with James as our DJ and lighting expert. One of the first things he asked in our introductory meeting was how to pronounce my name. That attention to detail carried on when he asked us all sorts of questions we would never have even thought of as part of planning.

He also worked very smoothly with our wedding coordinator (as well as all of our other vendors).

As for the day of, he made sure the dance floor was packed by reading the room and changing up the music genres based on what people liked. We just gave him generic genres (pop, old-school hip hop) that people in our age group might like and he ran with it.

Also he does lights. The lights for dinner were gorgeous and they transform into dance lighting once dancing starts.

Also also, his prices for dj + mc + lighting were very reasonable. We compared with several other djs.

Amazing DJ and bilingual MC

We had James DJ and Sophia MC our wedding. They were both incredible! From the very first meeting, both James and Sophia were professional, responsive, and knew exactly what they were doing. James had a basic timeline form with specific music choices that was super helpful in making our own general timeline for the wedding, especially since we took on most of the planning on our own. We also got our Photo Booth and karaoke from James, and they were both a hit with our guests. James created such a fun dance floor and atmosphere for everyone to dance to.

Sophia as our bilingual MC (English/Mandarin) was perfect. My family told me she was their favorite part of the wedding, and she live translated the entire ceremony and speeches, which was amazing. She really made my Chinese guests feel like they were a very included part of the wedding. Sophia is also an officiant herself, although we had our own. Overall I couldn’t recommend All the Above Events enough, they were truly incredible throughout the entire process to the last minute of the wedding.

Above & beyond DJ & MC!!

Can't say enough about the quality of James's work, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and curating the best dance party experience at our wedding!! From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond!

We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well, especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music. He made our wedding day exactly the party we hoped for - the most fun we've ever had! Highly recommend James & All The Above Events for your next wedding or big event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
