Best DJ , Lakemont Georgia 11.17.2024

We had the opportunity to have DJ Tyler in our wedding and couldn’t be happier. He kept the dance floor moving all night. Ahead of time he ask what songs we wanted and what else we would like to add, as well as what not to be played. He talked to my husband and myself before the wedding to clear up everything before the big day. He also gave a beautiful speech in our wedding and the most amazing part was that it was in Spanish which we really didn’t expected. It was amazing to be honest ! If you want to keep the dance floor lit and have a good time I do recommend them.

Athens DJ for Intimate Wedding

I cannot say enough great things about Athens DJ, and specifically Ian who was our DJ. We had a board game wedding instead of dancing and Ian did a wonderful job catering the music, volume, and run of show to our specific event. He made sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone was having fun. Would 100% recommend Athens DJ especially if you are having an intimate or unique wedding.

Amazing DJ Service for daughter’s wedding

Ian was fabulous at my daughter’s wedding- so professional and fun! The guests loved him and all the music. We had 83 guests from all ages and the dance floor had dancers at all times. From the cocktail music to dinner music to the dancing music - so many compliments from guests. I highly recommend Ian and Athens DJ Service!!

The Perfect DJ for your Perfect Day

MORE THAN A DJ SERVICE!!! I had the absolute best experience with these guys- no stress at all! The dance floor at our wedding was packed the ENTIRE night. Ian Hemerlein is a master at his craft. The transitions between each song were done so well and there was never ever a lull. He was professional, well spoken, and really made the day special for my husband and I. My guests are still raving about how great Ian was and how much dancing there was!! All I can say is hire Ian Hemerlein!!!!!!

Amazing!

Ian Hemerlein was our DJ for our wedding and he was AMAZING!! He got everything set up so quickly, the transitions between songs during the ceremony and reception were flawless, and he worked with us all night to make sure everything happened the way it was supposed to, when it was supposed to. We were hesitant to hire a DJ until we found Ian and Athens DJ service, and we couldn’t have had a better experience!!!

PERFECT! Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ

Athens DJ Service hooked us up with Ian Hemmerlin and we couldn’t have been happier with how the music turned out. Awesome service from playlist and timeline preparation months out to creating an incredible environment to dance and celebrate the day of the wedding!
