Highly recommend you book this man!

DJ Karizma was the easiest to work with. We had a short notice wedding and he was able to work with us. He was great with communication and went over every detail with us. If you’re like me, you like a little bit of everything and can’t decide between all 72920472910 songs you have on your playlist to play. He was able to play our style easily and even added songs that we loved that I didn’t even think of. Our party was a night to remember, or even better forget since we had “too much” fun. He was super professional at all times and his set up matched our decor. And I should probably mention his prices beat all of the others in the Hampton roads area considering his amazing quality! I’m so happy he chose US. Don’t second guess him, just do it!

Well-Organized & Enthusiastic DJ Karizma!

We chose DJ Karizma for our February wedding in Va Beach this year and first things first, his organization, communication and responsiveness were top tier. He had ceremony and reception worksheets, and song suggestions for us to review and complete which made it very easy to communicate all of our music preferences. He responded within a day or two to any questions that we had via email and text. We had a lot of expectations for our DJ such as the specific songs we chose for the ceremony, the grand entrances, reception and dance floor. We asked him to also add in some reggae vibes and all of his selections were a perfect fit for our guests. We needed his MC assistance with announcements for the audio guestbook and QR codes for the seating chart and disposable camera photo capture. He covered these announcements during cocktail hour as expected. He made sure all those that were giving a toast/speech were prepped and ready for their turn. He announced all of big moments such as the cake cutting, family dances, bouquet toss, garter toss..etc. He hosted our Photo Table Dash game and co-hosted our mini Newlywed game and his energy and enthusiasm were just what our celebration needed! We were impressed with him staying on top of everything we asked for. Our only disappointment was due to where the venue had the DJ set up (behind a curtain which obstructed his view) so our grand entrance music was cut short unexpectedly. We wish we would have communicated our expectation better with the venue as they were our day of coordinators and were supposed to be the DJ's "eyes." However, we would choose DJ Karizma again without hesitation for future events. Thank you so much DJ Karizma for making our wedding fun, hype and such a delight!!!!

Amazing dj

DJ Karizma is AMAZING. He's so talented and brings the energy to the party! There was no awkwardness- only dancing. He even danced with everyone at one point in the wedding-haha! He will make your night so memorable. Besides being talented, he's also a genuine person who cares about his couples. The highest recommendation!!
