Fantastic DJ

We got married in October 2025. We were really thrilled with the service Chris provided. Through the whole process he was responsive and really flexible. His "workbook" for picking songs and providing information was easy to use and we met multiple times to ensure we were all on the same page. Day of Chris did a great job mixing our couple requests in with other songs that the crowd loved.

Best DJ Ever!!!

Chris is INCREDIBLE! He DJed my wedding in September 2024, and was game for all of the crazy ideas that my husband and I had to make our wedding unique and everything we hoped for. The process leading up to the wedding was extremely smooth - Chris communicated regularly and was extremely clear at every stage what he needed from us to prepare for the big day.

At the wedding, he not only managed the dance floor, but before that, was in charge of the ceremony and cocktail hour music. Even when the weather acted up and blew through the tent, he wasn't phased. We kept the party going and Chris was instrumental.

We would work with Chris a million times over!

Detonator DJ was Fantastic!

I highly recommend working with Chris and Detonator DJ services! Chris was so helpful, professional, friendly, and communicative throughout the whole process. He walked us through everything for playlists, MC needs, and more leading up to wedding. He helped us feel incredibly organized and comfortable from day one. On our wedding day, Chris DJ’d a great wedding reception and party - everyone was dancing late into the night and had a blast! We are so grateful to have worked with Chris to celebrate our special day.

Best DJ ever!!!

Chris was incredible to work with from the very beginning. His personalized planner made it super easy for us to coordinate the music for our day. He had items in there that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. He was a great MC and really knew how to get the crowd engaged. His DJ skills were unbelievable. He got everyone at our wedding dancing and we received numerous compliments on how great he was all night! We highly recommend working with Chris!

Awesome DJ

DJ Chris was excellent! He checked in with us leading up to the wedding, answering questions and helped me work though the process. We had so many guests comment on the music and the DJ reading the room. He was recommended from another DJ, where he was their DJ - tells you all you need to know. Do yourself a favor and contact him.

One of the best!!

DJ Chris is anything short of amazing! He knows what he’s doing and he does it SO well. We hired him for our wedding in May 2023, and our guests were still talking months later about how amazing DJ Chris was and how he kept the dance floor packed all night long. He is very personable and knowledgeable of music styles and genres, how to mix songs into other songs, and how to read a room full of people and keep them dancing until the end of the night. There are a lot of DJs out there, but DJ Chris stands out amongst them all because of his pure talent and knowledge of his profession. If you’re looking for a DJ that knows what he’s doing and will keep the party going all night long, then look no further bc DJ Chris is your guy!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
