My Go-To Wedding DJ, Every Time

As a day of coordinator, Day One DJ is my favorite DJ to recommend to my couples. Joe and his team bring the perfect mix of energy, hype, guidance, and professionalism that every wedding needs.

DJs are one of the vendors I’m most particular about because they truly set the tone for the entire day. They impact not only how the couple feels but also how guests experience the celebration as a whole. Day One DJ consistently exceeds expectations every single time. When they’re at a wedding, I have full confidence it’s going to be a great one!

What really sets them apart is how much they do beyond just playing music. They actively read the room, keeping the energy exactly where it needs to be all night long. They take on the role of MC seamlessly, guiding the flow of the day so everything feels smooth, natural, and stress-free. They are excellent communicators leading up to the wedding, handle both big and small details so couples don’t have to worry, and do an incredible job keeping guests engaged from one moment to the next. And of course, they keep the dance floor packed.

I have nothing but absolutely amazing things to say about Day One DJ and would recommend them again and again!

Great Music, Great Mixes

We were so happy we used Day One DJ. They made effort to learn our music taste, balance that with what gets our guests to dance, and they threw in some really special, amazing, nerdy mashups (like, for example, a danceable version of the Smash Bros theme). They were recommended by our Photographer, Adrian Steinbach, who I can't recommend highly enough. They also coordinated our ceremony audio, cocktails hour, and speech mics.

Please enjoy these incredible photos of people dancing their hearts out on the absolute best day of our lives.

Loved working with Day One DJ!!


As a wedding planner I worked with Day One DJ a few months ago at a wedding and was BLOWN AWAY by how amazing they are to work with! I work with a ton of DJ's and they are for sure one of the best. They brought so much energy the entire night and the dance floor was one of the most packed dance floors I've ever seen! They were also so communicative the day of the wedding and leading up to - highly highly recommend and look forward to working with them in the future!

Best wedding DJ EVER.

We booked Joe through Day One DJ, and truly wouldn’t have had it ANY other way. He was literally a blast and truly AMAZING at what he does. He made the planning so easy and fun for us. He was flexible and so easy to connect with.

My husband is very into music and DJ’s. So he was very particular about who we booked for our DJ. He absolutely loved Joe. We still have people telling us that he was the best DJ they have ever seen at a wedding. Our favorite part about what Joe does is he never plays a full song or lets the music “end”. He’s feeling the crowd, what they’re vibing to, and always mixing one song into the next. Nobody ever got the, “this song is lame, let’s sit down or get a drink”. People did not leave the dance floor. We had so many people after our wedding ask about him for their future events.

Lastly, my husband was hot on the idea of booking the CO2 cannon through Joe for the dance. Two days before the wedding he texted Joe and was able to get it for us. It was truly so fun!

Joe is flexible, fun, and easy to work with. We would 10/10 recommend Joe to anyone for their wedding. He’s truly AMAZING!

Get your dance on!

Best DJ out there! Music and a giant dance party was our number one goal for our reception and we have never received so many compliments for Day One DJ and Guthrie. The party never stopped! Everyone was on the dance floor from the first song to the last. Including the bride and groom. We talked to a few other “popular” DJs prior to talking to Joe at Day One and they didn’t really listen to us. The second we got on a call with Joe - we knew he was the one! Professional, great communication and fun! Guthrie made sure the entire day flowed so smoothly.

Best dj ever!

Music is the one thing for me that could make our break our day from an MC/entertainment/vibes perspective. I’ve been to a ton of weddings where the DJ doesn’t do anything more than press play. Everything about Joe C was PERFECT! From the way he MC’d to the way he mixed, Joe C was an absolute magician on the 1s and 2s. He was extremely professional, attentive, and played absolute BANGERS. Everyone was on the dance floor all night and many of our guests said “best DJ ever!!” I would give him 100 stars if I could!

The dj of your dreams

Joe Osterberg was theeee best dj we could’ve asked for for our wedding. My husband and I were super hesitant to book a dj because we didn’t want the classic cringey cha-cha slide wedding dj 🥴 Joe could not have been more perfect. After filling out his online questionnaire, we turned things over to him and put full trust in him to deliver. We paid a bit extra for him specifically… and boy was he was worth every penny! Our ceremony sound was flawless, and our dance floor was SO FUN and perfectly us.

And for the anxious brides.. a week or two before the wedding we had a call where he walked me through the day and all of the cues he would make during the ceremony and reception. In those moments on the phone everything finally came together in my mind. It was such a relief knowing no one else had to worry about sound details- it was all taken care of. A vendor like that is worth their weight in gold.
Stop looking and just book him- you won’t be disappointed.

We love day one dj!

We can’t say enough good things about Day One DJ! We had seen how fantastic they were prior to booking them for our wedding- and knew we wanted them for ours- in fact they were one of the very first vendors we contacted! For the first phone call to the end of the night they made every single step easy, and FUN! Our DJ, Guthrie, is incredible. He perfectly MC’d the entire evening, going above and beyond, and played music that kept our entire dance floor packed. We had young and old, and everyone was in agreement- the music was great! We got several compliments on various aspects of Day One DJ’s service and truly can’t thank them enough for making our day so wonderful! Thank you Joe and Guthrie! You have forever fans in us.

Best dj ever!

Day One DJ was amazing. From the planning process to the actual wedding, Day One DJ made the process simple and enjoyable. Everyone at Day One DJ was so kind and willing to help in any way possible. Our DJ Joe was phenomenal. He made sure the ceremony music was flawless, kept all of our guests informed on what was happening during the social hour and dinner, and he made sure guests were having a blast on the dance floor all night long. From the music to the lighting and everything in between we could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. All of our guests continue to tell us how much fun they had on the dance floor! We would highly recommend Day One DJ to everyone getting married or having a party!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
