An Angel in the Form of a DJ

We matched up with Aki after a tentative contract with another DJ fell through. From start to finish, our experience with Aki was truly phenomenal. He met with via video call multiple times before the big day in order to get to know us and our needs better. He also made the trip out to our wedding rehearsal, which helped us feel much more confident about our ceremony. Aki effortlessly stayed on top of our fast-paced reception timeline, and his professionalism and preparedness put us at ease throughout the night. On top of being a kickass DJ, Aki is simply just a wonderful human being. We would hire Aki for our wedding a hundred times over and cannot recommend him enough.

Professional and Personal

Aki was a miracle! I professionally and personally know Aki well. He came right on time! Without him, our wedding would not have kicked off the way it did. Aki’s background come’s with event coordinating experience as I’ve worked many projects with him for many years. Watching Aki’s growth in his career endeavors is so rewarding. I’m so proud and excited to see his skillsets be utilized to his full potential. His intricate tech skills have always been known. It is amazing to see him flourish in this industry. His beautiful family dynamics allows for creativity when working with families and couples. His passion and desire is based off of compassion and the community he serves. Many can say great things about him in the community.

Aki helped coordinate behind the scenes logistics. He presented himself professionally very well by offering a well thought out plan. By incorporating the music, bridal party team entrance to reception, special moments such as cake cutting, being attentive to the needs of the guest at large and more. There were times when he took the load off the wedding planning. His time management skills are sharp and on point. Aki also made sure to check in and made great follow ups.

He’s able to adapt culturally to the needs of his audience. He’s also very quick to adapt to any last minute changes to the program by multitasking and being in tune with his environment. Aki gets along with everyone and has great social skills.

I highly recommend Aki for any event planning as I am a witness to his many works. I reassure folks, this will be of no regrets! His services also offers magnificent lighting which was used at our reception and gave the purple spark we needed to create the ambience that was specifically envisioned.

Thank you so much to Aki and his family for making this a dream come true! It was heaven sent !!❤️ From the crew!
