DJ RIO Nashville Wedding

We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Rio dj at our wedding, and he completely exceeded our expectations! From the first consultation to the final dance, he was professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. DJ Rio truly understood the vibe we wanted for our big day and curated a playlist that had everyone on the dance floor all night long. DJ Rio also acted as our MC with great energy, calling our guests to dinner, announcing our wedding parties, and introducing our special dances. He even accommodated special requests with ease. He truly listened to what we wanted and made sure it was that and more.

He has an incredible talent for keeping the energy high and seamlessly flowing from song to song, ensuring the party never lost momentum. Not only was he an amazing DJ, but he also provided top-notch sound and lighting, creating the perfect ambiance for our celebration.

Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had, and we owe so much of that to DJ Rio. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s passionate about his craft and knows how to deliver an unforgettable experience, DJ Rio is your guy! We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Didn’t have to think!

DJ RIO is truly the best! We gave him our vibe (EDM with no slow songs) and he read the room perfectly!! As a 90s baby, we love the throw backs. He had the perfect compilation of throw backs, country remixes, and new age songs! As the bride, I think I left the dance floor ONCE to use the restroom. Otherwise, I didn’t leave the dance floor to even cut my cake because the music was too good to leave! If you want to dance in your wedding day, this is your guy!!

An Absolute Party Starter!

DJ Rio (Jalen) is an absolutely INCREDIBLE DJ for those looking for someone special to get the party going at their event. He puts so much care and attention to detail into his work ahead of the event, sitting down with each couple to ensure he understands the vibe they're going for during each and every portion of their day. He brings all equipment, lights, sound, etc. and absolutely knows how to set the vibe for every moment. He's also just a great person and fun to be around. I promise, your guests will not want the party to end!
