Destination DJ

Sam from Destination DJ was (insert every positive adjective here)! When we were initially searching for a DJ, Sam answered every one of our questions, and there were a lot, without leaving us feeling pressured to choose him. We ultimately picked Destination DJ because of the reasonable pricing and packages, great reviews and recommendations from friends, and his timely communication.

Throughout the wedding planning process, Sam provided valuable insight on the schedule and timing of each event we wanted to incorporate, helping us create a timeline that was perfect for us. As our wedding date got closer, Sam sent helpful reminders and checklists that helped us make sure everything was taken care of well in advance. The questionnaire and portal Destination DJ utilizes was easy to access and allowed us to provide all of the details and songs we wanted to include. We had several custom songs and Sam made sure to follow up on our questionnaire responses to ensure that he completely understood what we envisioned for our special day, making the entire process easy.

On the day of our wedding, Sam was extremely professional and arrived on time. We needed Destination DJ's services for both our ceremony and reception, which were in two separate locations. We had previously talked about musical cues over the phone and what we expected to be played and when, and he perfectly nailed it all. From our pre-ceremony playlist to timing the procession song, and to having our cantor sing during the ceremony, the first part of the night was flawless and we honestly thought he couldn't get any better (we were very wrong).

Once the reception kicked off, Sam transitioned smoothly into the role of emcee for the evening, helping to keep the flow of the wedding and everyone on schedule. We had only provided a few song samples that we wanted to be played during the cocktail hour and he was able to create our dream playlist from what we had given him. The music truly complimented the atmosphere and was a great volume that people could easily converse over. He interacted with guests, inserting humor and efficiency when helping dismiss tables and was the ultimate hype-man when it came to our grand entrance and anything we did throughout the night.

When the reception and dancing truly got underway, Sam went above and beyond. We had been slightly nervous leading up to the day that no one would be dancing and the floor would be empty. That was so far from what happened, and it is all because of Sam's impeccable ability to read the room. Our guest demographic was all over, from several children under 10 to a handful of people 21 to 27, with the majority of guests being 50+. We wanted to make sure the music was child appropriate but also something others would still want to dance to, and Sam delivered on that. The dance floor was occupied the entire night with people singing along, moving and grooving, and having a fantastic time. Sam made sure to play songs that were well loved across all generations, and once it got later and mostly those 21 to 27 were on the dance floor, he took us all back to those sing-aloud-while-driving-your-car-with-friends throwbacks that had us all dancing and wanting the night to never end. The entire night (and process) was absolutely perfect and we would work with Sam again in an instant. Highly, highly recommend Sam and Destination DJ – you will NOT be disappointed when you go with them. Thank you to Sam for everything, our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more!
