🥇 best dj ever

We hired Lou from My First Choice DJ for our wedding, and he absolutely exceeded our expectations! I've known Lou for many years, so I knew he was going to deliver, but he went above and beyond. From start to finish, he was incredibly organized and clear, and made sure every detail was covered. He stuck to our requests without any deviation, which meant everything to us. Lou’s professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process seamless, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music. Highly recommend him for any event—he truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

An absolute must have DJ!

DJ Lou helped make our wedding a 10/10 experience. He was on point with his transitions, allowed us to change things around last minute, and threw down on all the music he played. I would recommend to anyone and I hope you hire him for your next event!!!

Let First Choice DJ be your first choice

When we started planning for our wedding, our search for a DJ was tough. We had met/talked with about 4-5 DJs at that point and none of them really resonated with us and our personalities. Our last DJ "interview" was with Lou from First Choice, and we immediately clicked with him. He's extremely friendly and will do whatever to make your happy day even happier. We bothered him a lot with random requests and custom work and he never hesitated or seemed over it.
The actual wedding though is a completely different story. Most of our friends are introverts and don't really dance, but that dance floor was BUMPING thanks to Lou and his amazing song choices and his ability to read the room. He also pretty much took every song request from our guests without redundancy, even if the song wasn't available to him at the moment, he found a way to play the requested song.
Lou is truthfully one of a kind and if you are looking for an amazing DJ, him and his company should be your first choice.

The best dj ever!

Lou was amazing. I haven't stopped hearing about how much fun our DJ was since our big day. The DJ was the vendor I was most nervous about booking, and he made it such an easy and laid back experience. He made sure the dance floor was always full of people and was very receptive to requests and no play songs/artists/genres. His set up was very aesthetically pleasing and did not feel out of place or like an eyesore during our ceremony and turned into party central for the reception. I would 100% recommend him for any of your DJ needs.

Wedding of our dreams!

I knew when hiring Lou I was getting a great quality DJ but he exceeded all my expectations. He was very hands on during the planning stages and made sure to cover all the bases. I can say that our day would not have been the same without Lou. He played to the crowd and made the special touches to the events during the reception. In the following months after our wedding I had a lot of guests ask how we found that DJ. I would recommend this DJ to all of my friends and family and stand next to that recommendation. If u want a DJ that will make ur day as special and to run like a well choreographed play this is your guy! Thank you Lou for making my wife and my day perfect!

Best DJ experience I have ever had!

I had the best experience with Lou for my wedding, and he honestly exceeded any expectations I had! Because of him, my wedding went so smooth and everything was on schedule. He made it so fun, and was very interactive! I was so blessed to have him as our DJ, and he played all our songs we wanted played... played certain songs at the right time, & was very organized! He really cares, and wants you to have your perfect wedding! I would recommend him to anyone!

The best dj ever!

Outstanding experience!!! Lou truly went above and beyond for our wedding. We used his services for both the ceremony and reception and it was absolutely worth it! He was an incredibly easy vendor to work with, was super responsive and has a seamless process! And his booth/set up was amazing! It was so cool, clean and professional without distracting from the rest of our decor. Lou thought of all the little things for us, answered all our questions, gave great suggestions and made our wedding day perfect! Would absolutely recommend First Choice DJ again and again and again!!

First Choice DJ - BEST DJ!

First Choice DJ (Lou) was amazing to work with! He accommodated all our music selections (even a very specific request) and made everything so easy for my fiancé and I. Everyone was dancing and raved about how great Lou was after the wedding. I highly recommend Lou for your next event!
