Couldn't recommend enough

James did our wedding in May and he was such a professional - he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He even alerted us to a bike race happening the weekend of our wedding so that people could adjust their driving time! He got the musical vibe perfect and people were dancing all night (which is what we wanted). Many of our friends talked about him afterwards and what a great energy he set for our day.

Amazing wedding DJ

We felt confident we had picked the right wedding DJ from our first meeting--James was organized, had online playlists we could reference, and clearly loved music deeply.

What we didn't know was that he would make 90 people, across different generations, music tastes, and fondness of dancing feel connected by the music he played, seamlessly blending our requests with his own perfect choices. He made an incredibly fun, emotive, and beautiful soundtrack to dance to. If you have the chance to hire him for an event, I highly recommend working with him.

A must hire!

We originally hired James from the glowing reviews we saw here and on Reddit. From the start, we could tell he knew his stuff and really listened to us. We have been to too many weddings where the bad music completely ruined the vibe.

Leading up to the day, he was communicative & professional. Day of went unbelievably smooth! So many guests came up to us and remarked how incredible the music was and we were dancing all night. He took many on our list, but also mixed in some of his own that matched our tastes. One of my personal favorite moments is when he came up to ask if he should play a request that one of our guests made, which totally didn't match our vibe. I appreciated that he clocked that and asked me!

We had a fabulous time and he was a large part of it! Highly recommend hiring him!

Truly the MVP of Our Wedding, 12/10 Experience

We didn’t realize how important the DJ would be to the overall flow and energy of our wedding until we worked with James. From our first conversation, he was incredibly professional, organized, and thoughtful. He helped us plan every musical detail, from guest arrival and the ceremony to cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor, and ensured the timing, transitions, and tone were seamless.

He made the planning process so easy and collaborative. He encouraged us to create a playlist of songs that represented our style and favorites, then curated a custom set that felt uniquely us. It never felt like a typical wedding playlist; it felt like our wedding.

James also went above and beyond during the reception, helping set up and test microphones and speakers for our speeches to make sure everything sounded perfect. What really stood out was how much he thought about every detail. He even helped us strategize how to get people on the dance floor by assigning a few “kick-off” guests to start the party, and sure enough, it was packed all night. The dance floor energy was incredible, and we’re still getting messages from friends and family asking for his info and saying it was some of the best wedding music they’ve ever heard.

From start to finish, James delivered a flawless experience and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. If you’re getting married at Audrey’s Farmhouse, or anywhere, honestly, hire him. You won’t regret it. 12/10 across the board.

Best wedding DJ you'll find!

James was an incredible DJ for our wedding!! From our first call with him, we loved how organized he was and how thoughtful he was about crafting a wedding experience that reflected the tone we wanted for the day. He coordinated the audio for our ceremony flawlessly, the flow of events through the day was so smooth, and most importantly he did an amazing job of both listening to our _ and reading the room in a way that kept the dance floor full! We loved his mixes and transitions between songs. We're still getting compliments weeks after our wedding from all types of guests spanning all ages and musical tastes. Hire James!!

James knows how to throw a party!!

We have only good things to say about James! From our very first conversation with him, we knew that he was going to be the perfect partner in creating an incredible night. We knew from the beginning of our planning process that we wanted to have a reception that included both a dance floor and karaoke, but we didn’t know the best way to execute it. In our first meeting with James, he presented a plan for how to make the combination of the two activities work together and we felt immediately at ease, knowing that he had both the experience and the creativity to bring our idea to life. Beyond the ideas for the dance floor, he also shared more general advice on how we might structure our day, sharing his experience and expertise in a way that was genuinely helpful and affirming.

We were also grateful for his extensive experience at our venue - Brooklyn Grange Navy Yard - which we had been told could be tricky to navigate in terms of technical needs. The first-hand knowledge that he possessed of the venue gave us confidence to focus on the big picture instead of worrying about minute details. We felt thrilled knowing the technical aspects in addition to the artistic/party vibes were in excellent hands!

In the lead up to the event, James shared a very comprehensive worksheet for us to fill out, which not only helped us envision the party we wanted to throw, but the overall experience of the day. As we finalized details with James, he was very thoughtful in ensuring that our vision was well executed, and also taking into consideration the needs of our guests. He asked questions that revealed his clear experience and desire to make sure EVERYONE had a great time at our wedding.

On the day of the wedding, James had clear mastery of the AV domain, setting up equipment for both the ceremony and party. During our ceremony, he had even worked with our officiant to play some fun sound effects during a light-hearted moment. 



For the reception, James delivered a party!! He immediately locked in on the vibe of our guests, playing songs that kept everyone on the dance floor, singing along at the tops of their lungs, and dancing full out. And the karaoke we mentioned? It was flawlessly executed! James suggested we have sets of dancing broken up by karaoke, and that structure worked incredibly well. It gave everyone a chance to take a break from the dance floor if they wanted, but as the night went on, no one left the dance floor, screaming along to karaoke, and treating the karaoke sets as if they were a standard set! He also did an incredible job balancing the karaoke songs played - mixing pop punk with musical theatre and 80s hits in a way that kept everyone fully engaged (even if the particular song wasn’t their style). He also found the perfect moment for a “screamo” karaoke number that left all our guests slack-jawed in the best possible way. We had no idea how everything would work on the day of, but James delivered and helped us create one of the most memorable nights of our friends, family’s, and our lives. We were SO blown away at how clear it was that James understood both us and our guests. Our last song of the night was James’ choice, and we will never forget him playing “Pink Pony Club” as we were surrounded by a circle of our closest loved ones (our entire guest list stayed until the very end, a true testament to James’ talent!!).

Finally, James was a true joy to work with! He is genuine, personable, and cares about his clients. Aside from his recommendations on the wedding itself, he took the time to share local events and locations to experience while on our honeymoon. He brought so much energy to our wedding, and entered every conversation with kindness and thoughtfulness that gave us confidence in his ability. Multiple friends told us that it was the most fun wedding they had attended and there is no doubt in our minds that James is a HUGE reason why. We could not recommend working with James more!!

James Will Take Your Wedding Higher

We could not be happier with our choice to go with James as our wedding DJ. In addition to his encyclopedic knowledge of music, he also brings the perfect balance of fun and a professional approach to curating the wedding experience (not just the music) you’re envisioning. If you’re looking for a DJ who doesn’t just hit play or make hard cuts between songs, James is the DJ for you. James blends the songs togther in a seamless, thoughtful and tasteful way. His playlist was a perfect mix of the songs nearest and dearest to us and kept true to our vibe with the songs he filled in. Friends even asked for the playlist!

James also played a big part in helping our wedding ceremony shine. He provided top-notch audio support - both for our officiant and our processional, recessional music. We were well taken care of during one of the most intimate moments of the wedding day.

Your DJ is also your reception MC and James did a terrific job with that part of the evening as well. The night always felt on track thanks to James’ steering and coordination with our venue staff. He checked in with us throughout the wedding night, making our speakers comfortable, ensuring our conga line stayed on track, and so much more.

Working with James in the lead-up to the wedding was also seamless and a fun process. He provided ample guidance and structure, but also enough breathing room to support us as our vision for the wedding evolved. We had a blast working with James! We can’t recommend him enough for your wedding or event!

Couldn’t ask for a better DJ and MC!

We could not have asked for a better DJ than James! He was the perfect mix of professional and organized, but also incredibly creative, fun, and a true artist. I actually handle a lot of large scale events for my day job, and it’s incredibly rare to find someone who excels in both the creative and the technical, but James is the complete package.

He went above and beyond to accommodate last-minute changes; my parents were going back and forth on whether they’d participate in the toast / parent dances, and he handled it with so much flexibility and grace. He also thought of the smallest details, like how to position the mic for each person and which sorts of transitions would work in between each toast.

James also paid close attention to our vows and surprised us with one awesome song in particular that referenced back to them. It was incredibly thoughtful!

He also collaborated incredibly well with our live sax player — they worked beautifully together in no small part to James’ leadership and initiative with the sound set up.

On top of all that, James was a fantastic MC, keeping the flow smooth and the vibes absolutely perfect. Our guests had the best time, and we’re so grateful to him for making the night unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!

Couldn't recommend more!

James couldn't have been a better DJ to work with. From the start, he was receptive to our vision for our wedding vibe while also giving recommendations for what would work best. He was extremely accommodating with unique music requests, which truly brought our party to the next level. After our wedding, one of the first things our guests complimented us was how great James was the entire night!
