Best dj ever

Hiring Amani Jae was easily the best decision we made! Since our wedding, we have received endless compliments about how our DJ was able to keep people on the dance floor all night long! The questionnaire that we filled out before the wedding was detailed and made sure we were going to hear all of the songs we wanted to hear (and none of the songs we didn't want to hear). Every single song was a hit. I didn't want to leave the dance floor the entire night! My husband and I will forever recommend Amani and his team!

Professional and fun DJ

Picking a DJ is hard. If you're on the fence, look no further! Amani was so awesome at our wedding! He played songs that had everyone out on the dance floor all night long. He perfectly blended the songs we requested with other songs to create the exact atmosphere we were hoping for during different segments of our wedding and reception. However, he did so much more than just DJing. He was super helpful before our wedding with song selections and ideas, was very responsive to our communications, showed up when he was supposed to, dressed appropriately, and was so nice to us, our families, and our guests. He is professional, reliable, kind, and FUN! I would recommend him to anyone!
