Steve is your guy!!!

We had the BEST time with Steve as our DJ!!!!

We hosted a birthday extravaganza for my Mom, at Oakbrook Drury Lane, in the Crystal Room, and about 135 people attended!

From the very beginning, Steve was full of energy...he was so much fun, and he completely brought the party to life! He has the kind of personality that lights up a room...so lively and kind and he was 100% in sync with everything that we were doing!

Steve worked with us every step of the way! He was patient, upbeat, and honestly just a joy to have there! He kept the guests engaged, got people dancing, and was clearly loving what he does, and it showed in every move that he made!

And here's something I really appreciated... he actually told me, "If anyone gives you trouble, I'll take care of it!" Now THAT'S a DJ who's got your back!!! He was supportive, polite, and just the perfect presence throughout the event!

He brought in extra lighting to really make the room sparkle, and he gave me a hands-free microphone which was a lifesaver since I was giving the welcome speech and needed my hands free to hold onto the papers that I was reading from!

His assistant was also very sweet, and she was right there to help Steve from the beginning to the end of the evening!

We're so grateful to have had Steve as part of my Mom's birthday celebration and it wouldn't have been the same without him! I HIGHLY recommend Steve for your next event!

After all, music is EVERYTHING at your party! You need someone who's a pro... someone who can keep the energy going... someone who has a personality and who speaks well...someone who can make your event come alive!!! You need STEVE!!!

He'll give you confidence and one less BIG thing to worry about! And he is just a "hell of a...." nice guy!!!

Infinite Thanks, Steve!!!!

Lenore, Bob and Emily, too!!!

A Wonderful Wedding and Plenty of Good Music

Johnny was amazing to work with! He was very accommodating to our last minute changes and played a wonderful variety of music. Everyone at the wedding complimented us on the variety of tunes they heard. :) We would highly recommend Dependable Wedding DJs for any event.

Awesome DJ!

DJ Steven was fantastic! We hired him for our backyard wedding and he had twp speaker set ups for different areas. He did a great job with our bridal party introductions and giving our girst info and direction. He had our guests and I dancing all night. The music was perfect and fun. Our dance floor was full of energy and he kept it going until midnight. You know our DJ is better than good when our guests ask for his contact info. I would hire DJ Steven again in a heartbeat.

Awesome DJ !!

Steven was fantastic! Our guests had an incredible time, and I was SO sad when the party had to come to an end. He was wonderful to work with and the online portal made it easy to customize our song requests. During the reception, he was so flexible with speeches, first dances, and doing a photo frenzy with our photographer. We loved having the uplights, too. We are so thankful we had Steven to keep our party dancing all night!

Party Was Hoppin!

Steven put together a playlist that matched what we wanted. Not joking, there was a moment during the wedding when 95% of the wedding was on the floor. He killed it.

Excellent all around!

Johnny was amazing to work with and was so understanding when we had to change our date 3 times due to COVID. Steven was our DJ and him and his assistant were great! Couldn’t be happier with their service.

Best Music We Could Ask For!

Johnny was amazing for our wedding! The online portal allowed us to choose a lot of our own music which we really appreciated. For the reception music that Johnny picked himself, everyone loved it. We've had several guests say it was the best wedding music they ever experienced. Couldn't recommend them more!

Hire Johnny!

Johnny did an excellent job, very flexible and was very open to last minute changes at the reception. My photographer/videographer even asked me where I found him bec they said they have been working for more than 30 years and he is the best thus far based on their experience, they even asked his info! That's how good he is! Everybody had fun and was up dancing all night! My husband and I could not even sit for a minute or 2 bec everyone is having a great time and music/DJ plays an important role on how your night goes. I highly recommend him if you want to have a fun night!

Awesome DJ!

Everything DJ related was a breeze! DJ Steven was great, super flexible and had my guests dancing all night. We met and chatted about what we wanted and what songs we had to pick to send to him before the wedding. We also had the photobooth which was so much fun for ALL our guests, young and old. We even realized at the last minute we didn't have uplighting and Steven was on it and said no problem! All our guests had a blast at our wedding and all music genres/requests were accommodated! Would definitely recommend DJ Steven for your wedding, if you want to have one less vendor to worry about!

Amazing and very professional!

From the beginning DJ Johnny was very quick to respond to my questions and easy to work with. Even though our wedding was postponed from March 21,2020 to October 23, 2020 due to Covid, he made the switch very easily. The online portal was so easy to use as my fiancé and I picked many of our songs! Although our guest list was cut in half, everyone had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend DJ Johnny to anyone as he made the night run smoothly! Thank you so much for the best night ever!! 😊
