Reviews of Guys on the Radio

Fantastic all around service!

Our wedding celebration was elevated to great heights thanks to the incredible talent of Guys on the Radio. We had a suite of services from them and all were impeccable. We used Guys on the Radio for their DJ, Flash Foto Booth, Totally Kreative Video for videography, Sisters Stress Free Planning, and Adam Jamsa as an officiant., which was so incredibly convenient to have all together. This review will cover the first two, as the rest I have reviewed separately and were all phenomenal (and it will save space typing)

Kevin Kramer was our DJ. He was fantastic to work with and has a deep knowledge of musicality. We had an alternative wedding, so had a different style of music than is typical for a wedding played for our day, and Kevin did a phenomenal job seamlessly blending music that we wanted to play with crowd-pleasing hits, keeping the dance floor alive and our guests thoroughly entertained. I had guests comment on how it was the best music they had had at a wedding and was music they would have wanted to hear themselves. Kevin’s professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to read the room created for an unforgettable experience. Kevin truly made our wedding reception a party to remember, and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in search of a phenomenal DJ.

We also had Kevin perform live for our cocktail hour and it was a beautiful touch to the overall ambiance. His performance was top notch and he has a great variety of songs to curate his live setlist with. We were thoroughly impressed and guests loved the entertainment while enjoying cocktail hour.

Finally, we had the Flash Foto Photobooth as well and guests were using it all night. They came with great props, a modern photobooth setup, and we loved that there were instant print outs for everyone and we got a book with all the photos and signed by everyone that took a photo plus USB with digital versions at the end. The entertainment and sentimental value from the photobooth made it well worth it.

I would highly recommend the Guys on the Radio for all of their services for anyone looking for convenience with extremely high quality professional output!

Simply Amazing!

During our wedding, we utilized JC--owner of Guys on the Radio--as our DJ, along with several branches of his company, including the Sisters Stress Free Planning, Flash Foto Photobooth, and the live Trio. Words cannot even begin to express just how thrilled we were to work with JC and his team! They made the entire day sooooo special and one we will truly NEVER forget :) This was made possible through several Facetime meetings with JC to discuss various details, texts with Kevin concerning our live playlist, and the Sisters emailing/calling to coordinate our arrangement details to ensure they were able to maximize their tear-down time. Wedding planning is not the easiest task, but Stress Free Event Group: Guys on the Radio 100% earned their name and deserve every bit of praise they have coming their way! Well done everyone and thank you for the forever memories :)

In addition to the entire team, if you decide to utilize JC as your personal DJ, please know that his second-first dance finale is one that you and your spouse will NEVER forget!

Best money we spent!

From my first phone call with JC, I knew I was going to hire Guys on the Radio to DJ our wedding. Their email reminders and planning website were helpful at pulling out all the info they needed to make the day go smoothly. Upon meeting JC, I knew we made the right choice. He and his team are truly there to make sure you have the best day. He incorporated our eclectic mix of tunes effortlessly throughout the night. They even worked with us through a few quirky requests and made sure it all fit within our timeline. We received many compliments from guests on the music and the dance floor was lively all night. A sweet little bonus was what they call the “second first dance” which included a recording of our vows mixed with music. It was such a sweet little moment he created! We also took advantage of the Sisters Planning add-on package. It was HANDS DOWN the best money we spent. Ashley and her team did so much more than set up and take down decorations. She helped our rehearsal and ceremony go smoothly. She checked in on us and delivered drinks, offered to bring a second plate of food during dinner, and packed away everything as neatly as it arrived. Overall, they deserve 10 out of 5 stars and the only bad part was that the night seemed to end too soon!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
