Best Wedding DJ in oahu!!

My husband I chose DJ James to be our DJ for our wedding at Paliku Gardens this June! We already felt confident about our choice early on, but it was immediately confirmed when we attended an event December 2024, that he happened to be DJing as well! We provided a guideline of the types of songs and styles of music we enjoy, but also wanted to give him the freedom to select some pieces based on the vibe of the crowd! He did a great job and everyone was extremely satisfied!!! We have received so many compliments from our guests on our choice of vendors and would definitely recommend DJ James to anyone on Oahu in need of an engaging, fun, and talented DJ! -Taylor & Andrew

My Review!

DJ James was absolutely incredible at our wedding in Hawaii! From start to finish, he created the perfect atmosphere and truly brought our celebration to life. He listened carefully to everything we wanted and played all the songs that meant the most to us, blending them seamlessly throughout the night.

The dance floor was never empty—our guests were up and dancing all night long, which is exactly what we had hoped for. DJ James has an amazing ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high, making sure everyone was having a great time.

Our wedding was already set in a beautiful location, but DJ James elevated the entire experience and made it unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to create a fun, lively, and memorable event!

Kahala Wedding Review

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!

From the very beginning, James was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. He took the time to understand our music preferences and the overall vibe we were going for. From our very first call, he was incredibly personable and we ended up talking for over an hour! By the end of that conversation, my husband and I knew without a doubt that James was the one we wanted as our wedding DJ. James has years of experience as a NYC DJ and has an impressive resume of events he has been a part of and it shows!

On the big day, everything flowed seamlessly. We shared our music preferences with James, but also gave him the freedom to read the crowd and do his thing and he delivered. The transitions between songs were smooth, and he did an amazing job keeping the energy up. We had guests of all ages, and somehow everyone ended up on the dance floor at some point!

He also handled announcements with confidence and clarity, which kept everything organized without feeling forced or overly scripted. Our first dance and all the special moments were timed perfectly, and we really appreciated his attention to detail.

We've had so many guests tell us how much fun they had and how great the music was and we completely agree. Even my dad (in his 60s) is asking for the reception playlist because he loved it so much!

If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, talented, and truly cares about making your event unforgettable, we highly recommend James.

Thank you, James, for helping make our wedding reception so awesome!!

Professional and seamless

I came across DJ James through my personal online research. His service charge was reasonable, and worth it! We spent half our wedding reception dancing, and quite honestly it was one of the most memorable moments of the night! He knows how to read the room well, and adapted the music seamlessly! I still get compliments how much fun the wedding reception was, and it already 3 months post! If I could describe him in 3 words, it would be flexible, professional, and mindful.

Best Choice for wedding DJ!

The moment we booked DJ James Vincent, we knew we were in good hands. His communication was professional, timely, and energetic - he was so excited to be a part of our special day! We had multiple calls and texts before the wedding and an organized sheet to fill so he could lead the day without pause. On the wedding day, DJ James Vincent's organization and planning was evident and he kept the energy going all night long! He played all of our requested songs and did an amazing job as the MC, ensuring our wedding party and guests were engaged and having a blast. Our wedding truly wouldn't have been the same without DJ James Vincent. He's got the skills and passion for what he does. He even called 24 hours before to confirm all the details and pronunciations, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Everyone was dancing the ENTIRE night. We cannot recommend DJ James Vincent enough!

Congratulations! You found the DJ of your DREAMS.

James was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He was communicative, organized, and incredibly flexible with our requests, making the planning process so much easier. He had super straightforward instructions on how to submit our song choices and helped us with any questions along the way. On the day of the wedding, he exceeded all expectations—his song selections kept the dance floor packed, and guests couldn’t stop complimenting the music. He really knew how to read the room and create the perfect atmosphere. Beyond his talent, he’s just a great guy overall, and we’re so glad we chose him to be part of our special day. Highly recommended!

Thy 808 Wedding

Man where do I start?! Needed a DJ after firing one, 1 week prior to wedding day july 2024. Hands down BEST DJ I’ve came across in my 29 years living. Mr. James Vincent really brought his A Game & knocked it out the park. My family is from the North Shore of Oahu, Kahana. They NEVER have experienced a DJ mash up of all genres of music. DJ James got taste, flavor, variety, culture and vibes. Most professional and responsible DJ hired to turn it up and shut it down.

Best DJ for your next event!

We can’t thank Dj James enough! Our wedding planning was done in less than 3 months and Dj James was recommending to us through our planner. We weren’t picky and let him know our vibe and ideas and he executed our dream playlist for us. We loved his vibe and energy he kept our wedding flowing and knew exactly what music to play to get our guests dancing.

Best dj ever

DJ James Vincent did our wedding in June 2024 and he was the best DJ I have ever experienced. The music was so good we couldn't and didn't want to stop dancing. He is very talented and good at reading the crowd...the dance floor was legit never empty. He was hands down better than all the bar and concert DJs I have experienced and I would hire him again in a heart beat.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
