What a party!

DJ Carrell was kind and fun during our experience working with him. The portal that they use to upload our requests and content was super easy to use. And the reception was SO much fun! We had guests on the dance floor all night and even told us how good of a job he did. It was an absolute party!
Hearing comments after a wedding "best wedding I've ever been to" love it!

Our wedding experience

DJ Harlem was our DJ for our wedding day on July 12. He was absolutely fantastic! He made the planning process easy and he helped us with each decision and step along the way, giving advice to help us make the best selections. His set up was very cool. We also got the white dance floor installed at our venue and it looked gorgeous. I think he truly values the couples that he works with and their special day. We had a blast!! ☺️

Best DJ ever!

DJ Harlem’s group / DJ Q Focus were the perfect DJs for our wedding. Had an easy time with emceeing our day and had our dance floor literally jumping the entire night. Multiple of our friends told us the night of the wedding and after, that our DJ was amazing and one of the best they’d ever been to.

Best wedding dj

DJ Harlem was one of the best DJ's my husband and I have met, period (wedding or not). We cannot more strongly recommend him. Very personable, respectful, reads the crowd very well and doesn't let one song play too long before switching it up.

Absolute non-stop party all night!

We booked with DJ QFocus via DJ Harlem for our wedding and or wedding was completely off the hook. We provided a rough playlist and let QFocus do the rest. He worked his magic an there was not one dull moment the whole night. Couple things that made our night perfect. QFocus was an MC which means he has a speaking ability to introduce the couple, but also hype the crowd up, he blended the songs masterfully which allowed a nonstop playlist, he absolutely cared that everyone was dancing and lastly his hype was contagious and made us hype too!

We also booked the mirror me booth which was an absolute hit!

We keep joking we gonna get married again so we can repeat this party!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
