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!

Best DJ Ever

Contacted DJ Karizma to do our wedding at the Historic Martin Mansion. He came highly recommended by them and let me tell you he did not disappoint!!!! He was professional and so prepared for our wedding. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. For days after, people told me how much they loved DJ Karizma and wanted to use him for anything they might need! He even came out in the freezing cold and finished up once it started snowing. Many of our guests had left due to the weather but he stayed and played until the end and we danced all night long.

The Best Time

When we began planning our wedding, the single most important thing to us was a packed dance floor. Chris came at the recommendation of our venue, and had an amazing system prior to the wedding to get an idea of what we wanted to hear throughout the night. He was SO patient and understanding of my extensive do-not-playlist. The vibe was amazing through cocktail hour and dinner, and as soon as the dance floor opened, it was packed and stayed at capacity the whole night. He did a great job at watching room to see if a song was getting everyone moving, and switching it up as needed. By the end of the night, it felt like 2006 homecoming, which was exactly what we had in mind for our reception. So many people messaged us after the wedding to say it was the most fun they've ever had at a reception, and that's a testament to Chris' talent as a DJ/MC. Can't recommend him enough if you're searching for a wedding DJ in the Hampton Roads Area.

DJ Karizma was absolutely incredible! From the very first song to the last, he kept the party jumping all night long. The dance floor was packed the entire time, and the energy he brought was truly infectious. He read the room perfectly, played the right songs at exactly the right moments, and made every part of the night feel fun, seamless, and unforgettable.

Amazing!

Chris (DJ Karizma) did an absolutely amazing job! He went above and beyond in every way. You can truly tell he loves what he does. He played all of mine and my husband’s favorite songs and paid close attention to the music we were enjoying throughout the night. The quality of his equipment was top-tier, and everything sounded perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. On top of that, Chris is such a kind and genuine person!

Outstanding Wedding DJ – Highly Recommend DJ Karizma!

We can’t say enough great things about DJ Karizma. From the first conversation to the last song of the night, he made the entire experience easy, fun, and completely stress-free.

DJ Karizma took the time to understand our taste in music and the overall vibe we wanted for the night. He read the room perfectly and kept everyone — from our parents to our friends — on the dance floor the whole evening. The energy never dropped once.

The transitions were smooth, every key moment flowed naturally, and he nailed the timing for all of our special songs. You could tell he genuinely cared about making the night perfect for us.

We had so many guests tell us how much fun they had and how great the music was. DJ Karizma truly brought the party to life and made the night unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, easy to work with, and seriously talented, DJ Karizma is your guy. We’d recommend him to anyone planning a wedding or event.

Thank you, DJ Karizma, for making our night everything we hoped it would be!

Best dj ever!🔥

From day one of wedding planning, our top priority was having a great DJ. We had very high expectations, but DJ Karizma blew those out of the water! He was absolutely AMAZING! Professional, knowledgeable, and so friendly from start to finish. He kept the energy up & the dance floor packed all night long with the perfect playlist. Every time a new song played, we found ourselves saying “I freaking love this song!” We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ — he truly made the night unforgettable!

Best wedding dj!

If you don't know what DJ to book for your wedding, please look no further! DJ Karizma was the first vendor I booked after the venue because I really valued the experience of the music, reception, and someone that is an amazing MC at getting the guests pumped, hooked and controlling a room for your timeline of events. I can say all my guests and other vendors at the venue said this was the one of BEST wedding receptions they've been too because of DJ Karizma. 🥳We were literally dancing and screaming the whole time and I never left the dancefloor once reception started. (Still recovering to get my voice back). If you have a type of vibe that you are going for for your wedding, he will listen with all ears and do just that. If I could give 11/10 stars I would!! This was the most unforgettable night of laughing, crying, dancing, so thank you so much DJ Karizma for your expertise and talent!!
