Absolutely ahhmazing!

Chris was more than just a DJ. From the last minute curve balls and all of the craziness during the reception. He was so easy going and made the day flow with ease. I will always use Chris in the future and recommend him to anyone who needs a DJ. If you are curious if you should book, DO IT!!! You will not be disappointed. He showed up on time and stayed for everything… professional and easy going! Made the day 100% perfect. Thank you ❤️

Fantastic!!

Chris was the perfect DJ!
Had a great experience dealing with him as our wedding DJ. He was very responsive and organized with what music we wanted and didn’t want. I would recommend him for any event you want a party at. We were on the dance floor all night and was not ready for it to end! 10 out 10 recommend!

Best DJ hands down

Chris was so easy to work with! He was always willing to meet or discuss details at any time. He even took time to come out to the property beforehand since our venue was all outdoors to ease our minds about sound logistics. He made us feel completely assured. It was important to me that everyone had a great time on the dance floor. He did that and more. He kept the party alive! His personality was top notch and even interacted with the crowd. I will recommend Chris over and over, he made our day better than I imagined. It is clear that this is way more than just a job to Chris. He has a passion for what he does.

Chris does a fantastic job! He is very energetic and gets the party going! He works well with the timelines that I have prepared for both the ceremony and reception. As a planner/day of coordinator it is a great feeling knowing that the DJ is willing to work with the timeline already planned, but that he is also flexible and able to change when needed. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of meeting Chris this past weekend at a wedding at Twig's. He is prompt, professional, and an excellent DJ. He has a great reputation for a reason and I look forward to working with him again soon.
