Friendly and most helpful DJ

John had been recommended by one of my friends that got married 10 years ago. My daughter Caroline and her husband Zachary were going to compile a Spotify playlist and had a person picked out that was going to act as the DJ for their wedding. After my friend recommended John, I got in touch with him and I am so glad that we ended up hiring him! He has a questionnaire for the couple with songs that they wanted him to play and also a "do not play" list. John was so helpful from the pre-wedding zoom meetings until the end of the wedding last Sunday, 11/12/23. John is not just a DJ that plays music. He is a fabulous entertainer! He told Caroline and Zachary's "love story" (how they met and their first date) and nothing seemed to phase him. If there was a miscommunication or somebody was not ready for the next segment of the wedding, John masterfully played some funny tunes to entertain us. The biggest compliment we received from one of the friends of the groom was: "I wanted to sit down and take a break but the DJ plays one hit song after another and I just gotta dance!"

A true professional

Having worked in the wedding industry it was difficult to not suggest vendors when my daughter got engaged. HOWEVER, there was one vendor that was a no-brainer. John Haskins with Friendly Neighborhood DJ was the only call we would make for DJ/Emcee. He is a true professional while still providing a fun and lively service. By the way, most of both sides of the family.... not dancers. If he can get THAT CROWD on their feet, then he's worth every penny. He's the best!

John is an amazing Wedding DJ. Almost anyone can push a button and play music, but John is a true Master of Ceremonies. He is incredible on the mic, wonderfully engaging with you and your guests, and a pleasure to work with for other vendors. And he goes above and beyond to make everything personal. From bridal party introductions to the anniversary dance to the recounting of the bride and groom's love story, the personal touches John adds makes a special day all the more magical.

John is one of the premiere talents in our industry. His personal dedication to each and every couple with whom he works and his attention to detail has made him the first person that we refer clients to if we are already booked up for their date. I consider John much more of a colleague admirably representing our industry than I do a competitor. My only regret is that I didn't recruit him to be on our team many years ago. :)

John and I are old friends and go way back to the early days of DJ'ing. He offers a premium wedding service and is one of this area's top professionals. He is also a member of the American Disc Jockey Association which places him among the country's elite wedding pro's. I refer business to John as often as possible when I am booked.
