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!

Wedding DJ

DJ Kharizma was amazing to work with from start to finish. Easy and fantastic with communication making sure he has exactly what you want. Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding experience and he did above and beyond. His energy was non stop from the start of the wedding to the end. He was on the mic and involved with our party and had the dance floor full of our guests the entire reception. He was able to mix different songs together and do exactly what we could have asked for. I highly recommend DJ Kharizma for any event you would need a DJ for.

Great DJ choice for our wedding

DJ Karizma created an amazing environment for our wedding. He was able to capture the right vibe for our American/Latin wedding. Everybody had a great time from the ceremony through the dance floor party.

Fabulous DJ!

DJ Karizma was super organized and helped us prep our song lists and walked us through the whole timeline for the reception. He knew the venue well and gave us great advice about the lighting. The package was reasonably priced and my husband was SO glad we went with the extra lighting package as well. All of our guests raved about how awesome the dance party was and I was so overjoyed to see everyone having such a great time! We also had a special moment with our private last dance. We would highly recommend DJ Karizma! So grateful for you, Chris!!

The BEST wedding DJ!

Chris (DJ Karizma) was our DJ at my wife and I’s wedding on 5/23/26, and wow what a great choice he was. Chris was super informative and on top of things, taking so much of the work off of us leading up to the wedding, his punctuality stood out to me, arriving early and was ready to go when the party got started. He really knew how to read the room and kept the right music on to keep people on the dance floor and having fun , as well as accommodating song requests and such. Beyond him being a fantastic DJ, he’s an awesome person, very personable, hard working and really down to earth. You could not choose someone better than DJ Karizma for any event!

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.

If You Want a Packed Dance Floor, Book DJ Karizma

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. We are so grateful for the amazing vibe he created — he truly turned our wedding into the ultimate party. If you want a DJ who knows how to keep the celebration going, DJ Karizma is it!
