Awesome DJ!

When my fiance (now husband) and I were looking for a DJ, it was honestly very difficult to find someone who was in our budget, laid back, professional, and someone who we thought could get our guests to have a good time. When we spoke to Willie, we knew that he was exactly what we were looking for. At an affordable rate, his professionalism and quality of service was just beyond awesome, and he always kept us in the loop of our timeline and made sure we stayed on track but also had the time to greet our guests which was very nice. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a DJ for any occasion!

We love will!

DroptheMic was completely trustworthy. He handled everything well without overcommunicating. Our other vendors were non stop in their need to meet but we simply told Will what we needed and filled out the paperwork and he just handled it. He was so kind and capable. A great DJ- read the vibes and went from there. Truly danced the night away. Sound quality was awesome.

Best DJ Ever!

Everything was perfect. Willie was the best DJ Ive ever seen. We has some issues with timing during dinner and he handled it well! He checked in with us to update us on what was going on. The music selections were perfect. We asked for someone who could mix and his mixes were sooo good! Im so happy/grateful we choose Willie he made our wedding unforgettable.

Great experience!

Willie was amazing as the DJ for our wedding. Very flexible, professional, efficient and attentive to detail.
The reception went amazing and we felt like it was mostly because of the DJs control of the schedule. He asked important questions the day of to make sure everything went great and took song suggestions. Highly recommended for events. Thank you.
