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!

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.

Absolutely Amazing

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the moment the music started, the energy was incredible. Willie knew exactly how to read the crowd, keeping the dance floor packed all night long! The mixing between songs were great and kept guests of all ages entertained.

Not only was the music fantastic, but Willie was also professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He took the time to understand our music preferences and special requests, making sure every moment.

Highly recommend!

Best wedding decision we’ve ever made

I can’t even begin to thank Willie and his team enough, firstly we needed to not only change our date but our venue as well! Willie was so flexible with the changes. Everything was so easy. Once we finally got to our wedding day, our dj was fantastic, he read the crowd perfectly and all of the announcements that needed to be made (and some that we asked for on the fly) we made. I was very worried about how the day would go (I’ve seen so bad djs) I shouldn’t have. It was perfect. Our guests danced the night away! I will tell anyone that I know who is getting married call Drop the Mic!
