About

Music has been a passion of mine for over 20 years. At the age of 15, I started sharing my love of music by experimenting as a DJ for local community events and gatherings. Over the years, my passion and hobby has evolved into the business it is today. With state of the art equipment and lights I am able to provide the best services to my clients.

Today, I have the privilege to provide my DJ services to over 30 couples a year on their special day. Though I primarily specialize in weddings, I do provide DJ services for private and corporate functions as well. My collection of music includes all genres of music which allows me to service diverse crowds and venues.

When you choose me to DJ your event, you are choosing a person. With any DJ service, I will be available to meet at your convenience well in advance of the event. I will also be available and active in the planning process.

What I enjoy the most is meeting new people. I take time to know my clients and understand their vision of their event. Music is highly personal and recognizing their likes and dislikes is what I aim to do. I pride myself in understanding and exceeding the expectations of my clients from our first meeting to the day of the event.

Justin was worth every penny. I highly recommend him for weddings or any other DJ event.

My husband and I are so glad that we chose Justin for our wedding! He was patient with us as we went back and forth between song choices, he had great suggestions for us, and made sure that our choices matched the timing/vibe of the event. He did a fantastic job with the reception music. We had multiple people tell us that it was one of the best weddings they've been to because they danced all night long! I think we even had one point where almost every guest was out on the dance floor! He made sure to play a good mix of genres, blending some new hits with some wedding classics. I think we all could have danced for another 5 hours!

We also booked our photo booth through Justin. This was definitely one of the best decisions we made. We had so many hilarious and fun photos and they get sent directly to the guest's email! Everyone was posting photos all throughout the night and comparing funny faces and crazy props! It was such a great way to ensure everyone went home with a few fun pictures instead of all serious/posed ones! We were so grateful for all the work that Justin put in to make sure our day was perfect for us! He even tracked the weather throughout the wedding to ensure that we could move everyone inside smoothly before it started raining- he was the only vendor who looked out for us in that regard and luckily we got everyone inside for dinner before it started to rain. He even came to grab us and talk about a strategy when he noticed the rain clouds coming in! Overall we can't thank Justin enough, our guests had such a great time because of all his hard work!

Justin was more than a DJ for my wedding! He was a great support system and took a lot of the stress off of my shoulders for the big day! He is very organized and always answered all of my questions. He was very quick with communication as well. I highly recommend the photo booth and go pro packages that Justin offers as they were two huge hits at my wedding! The photo booth added so much fun for everyone for that day and I was amazed at the selection of props Justin had for the photo booth! He also customized the photo booth background to match our wedding theme. We did not hire a videographer and the go pro package was great to have the high lights of our wedding in a small video montage. Justin is the best DJ! I would give him 10 stars out of 5 if this ranking would let me. I would definitely hire him for any future family events and would highly recommend him to any of my friends or family members that are getting married. Thank you so much Justin, for helping make our special day so amazing!

DJ Dispatch was an incredible addition to our wedding day! While we were planning our wedding, he helped us think through the details and provided helpful suggestions that made our wedding and reception beautiful and fun experiences.

At the reception, DJ Dispatch did more than just play great music, although every song he played was amazing! He helped us keep the bar stocked. He brought out desserts for guests. He even wiped down the dance floor when it got wet from the rain.

DJ Dispatch is someone who is going to do everything he can to keep your wedding running beautifully while keeping it incredibly fun! If we ever have another event, booking him would be at the top of my to-do list.

We are so glad we picked Justin to DJ our wedding! When my husband and I were looking into DJ's, we placed a call to several. Because we had a shorter time to plan our wedding we found that some of the bigger companies had limited availability, or were going to try and squeeze us in after someone else's morning wedding. We just didn't get a good feeling about any of them!
Then, we spoke to Justin. He was very responsive, whether via email or phone, he got back to us right away. A few weeks before our wedding, we sat down with Justin to review everything, and we could tell he was on top of his game. He understood the vibe we were going for, and was helpful with suggestions and time line planning. Justin works for himself, so he is truly invested in making sure the quality of his work is the best it can be.
When it came time for the wedding, Justin was on time, professional and great to work with.He also worked well with our other vendors. He stayed right on top of our time line (which was shorter than most weddings) to make sure we fit in everything we wanted to. Justin not only did the music for our reception, but also handled our ceremony too. Everything went smoothly, including the mic's needed for toasts. We didn't have to remind him or ask him for anything, he took care of it all.
I would absolutely recommend Justin to anyone!

I can't say enough about Justin - it took multiple attempts to even get a response from a DJ during the initial wedding planning process, and from the moment I contacted Justin he was prompt, responsive, courteous, and totally professional! Justin has an incredibly warm demeanor and is truly interested in your specific tastes when it comes to every aspect of your wedding music choices. He made the entire planning process worry free for us, and followed through the entire wedding day by seeing to it that we were comfortable, happy and enjoyed ourselves! He even went above and beyond by bringing out drinks to my husband between taking photographs and the reception. A wedding day can certainly be chaotic and it takes a special type of person to aid in making sure things run smoothly - Justin is that person!

I would recommend Justin to anyone for any type of event! Rest assured, you won't be disappointed!

If I could add more stars I would! My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about Justin "Dj Dispatch" From the start of planning with the meetings all the way through to the reception he was a huge help! He worked with us on all of our requests and came up with amazing options for us to choose from! We used him for DJ, up lighting, monogram and the photo booth ! My guests were so in love with the open layout of the photo booth he offers, you can fit large parties in there and we got some great shots! The up lighting was gorgeous and he even added some lights on our cake that made it pop! He eased my worries as we got ready for entrances and made sure everyone was where they needed to be so we didn't have to worry about a thing! He checked in with us to make sure we could eat and kept an eye out for us to make sure we could enjoy ourselves. Everyone danced the night away and he didn't miss a beat! We cant thank him enough for making our wedding day easy, fun and worry free!

If I could rate him a million stars I would! Aside from being family, Justin is by far the most professional and organized Wedding DJ I've ever encountered. We used a lot of outside vendors on our big day, and I can say he was the most professional. From all the in-person meetings, to constantly e-mailing, face booking and making sure that he had every last detail that we wanted! We hired DJ Dispatch to not only DJ our wedding but also provide up-lighting for our reception and a Photo Booth (iPad air photo-booth). After meeting with Justin for our first meeting we told him that we were having an Old Hollywood themed wedding in a theatre, that we have a huge bridal party and lots of family and friends attending. He brought to our attention that he has lots of Go-Pro's and can attach one to a bottle of alcohol to pass around during the reception and that he has others that he can have guests pass around to record fun videos etc during the dancing! How awesome! It was great because we were not hiring a videographer. He listens to all of your music requests and themes and makes sure that the music being played is what you want but is also a crowd pleaser! After all the fun was over, Justin offered to edit the footage for us, my now husband wanted to do it himself because he is a film guy and wanted to add in other videos as well. Justin kindly express mailed us the flash drives that had ALL the Go-Pro footage, additional reception photos, all the photo booth photos & videos, and he captured and the ENTIRE wedding ceremony! It was such a surprise to us because we didn't hire a videographer! We were beyond thrilled! I HIGHLY recommend him for any wedding or DJ event! You will NOT be disappointed! And talk about a stress reliever for the Bride!! Thanks for making our day extra special, Justin! - Katelyn & Casey

Look no further... DJ Dspatch, aka Justin Lonergan, is the perfect DJ! He's a fantastic at what he does, a wonderful person, let us borrow his GoPro video camera, made us a priceless video montage, then mailed us everything on a thumbdrive!

Justin was SO amazing to work with! If I could give him 10 stars I would! Not only is he an excellent DJ (he kept the party going at our wedding, had great suggestions for songs, expertly guided us through the planning process) but he's also a kind and wonderful human being.

The moment we met him we could tell that he loves what he does, and that he genuinely cares about making your big day perfect!

In addition to his musical expertise, he also provided different lighting options for his booth (free of charge), suggestions for fun games we could play, and let us borrow (yes BORROW) his GoPro video camera on the day of our wedding! We didn't have the budget for a videographer so this was a HUGE added value for us, and so nice and generous of him. Taking it one step further, Justin actually used the video footage captured at our wedding (I asked my cousin to be in charge of the GoPro) to create a video montage of our day. I was BLOWN away by this kind gesture, and the footage and video he created are truly priceless to us. We plan on sharing them with our children and grandchildren, and without Justin we wouldn't have anything like it to treasure for years to come.

Justin is the perfect DJ for your wedding or party, and will be a friend for life. I'm so thrilled he was a part of our big day!!! Thank you so much J!!! xo

Justin (DJ Dispatch) was an awesome addition to our reception. He set the mood from the first song and kept the party going until the last guest was gone. He met all of our requests for music, special announcements and interactions with our guests. Justin has top of the line equipment which makes a big difference in sound quality, his lighting options really bring an additional layer of fun to the party, but quite possibly the best part of the package is him! He is the perfect mix of professional and fun, was able to get even the shyest guests on the dance floor having fun without anyone put on the spot. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives and DJ Dispatch's services made it so memorable. Thanks Justin!!! - BreAnna & Stephen Rygiel}

Justin is amazing! I have had the opportunity to work alongside him with several events. He's always prepared - for everything! He contacted me well in advance for every event, asked what I needed to help make our clients day nothing short of amazing and then delivered. had several clients glow about him and his services! And I agree 100%.

Justin is one of the hardest working guys I've met in the wedding industry. An incredible master of ceremony. He has a great read for crowds and knows how to get the party dancing. After shooting multiple weddings that Justin provided DJ services for, I had to hire him for my own wedding! Take it from me, hire this DJ!
