The DJ was phenomenal—high energy, great at reading the room, and had everyone dancing all night. He was professional, communicative, flexible with planning, and served as an excellent MC. Extras like fog, glow sticks, a photobooth, and uplighting were crowd-pleasers and guests highly recommended him.

Perfect Wedding DJ!

Desmond DJed our 09/07/2024 wedding and he was PHENOMENAL.

There’s two things people always remember about a wedding: the DJ and the food.

Our guests raved about Desmond. He was SO much fun and had everyone up and moving. His energy is infectious. He knows how to read a room and played straight bangers all night.

In the time leading up to the wedding, he was so patient and kind with his email correspondences. I was a little behind the ball on planning the music for our ceremony but he took it in stride and delivered.

The day of the wedding he had excellent communication skills. He was constantly checking in with my husband and I, making sure we were happy. He is extremely attentive.

He was one of the reasons our night went so perfectly and we are so thankful for him!

Fun & Flexible!

Desmond was fun to work with and had all the extras to make our wedding reception even more exciting! Fog, glow sticks, photobooth, uplighting...he had it! He was flexible and really let us bring our personal ideas to the dancefloor! Even played extras songs at the end...as no one wanted to stop dancing! Highly recommend! Super fun guy!

Best dj ever!

Desmond did an excellent job with my wedding! I gave him very vague details and instruction regarding how I wanted things done - gaps in the music selection, telling him to do pretty much anything that he wanted! He did not disappoint :) Very outgoing, solid music selection, and the premium photobooth was a major hit. I highly recommend him!

DJ/MC for my wedding

Where to start?! A true professional, extremely accommodating, and most importantly.. fun the whole night! Great experience for my wife and I's wedding. Plenty of guests let us know afterwards how much they enjoyed I Am Tha DJ throughout the night. If you need someone to not just DJ, but really MC your event, and keep people excited, look no further. Highly recommend!

Des Keeps it Going!

Desmond is absolutely fantastic. He was suggested to us by our photographer and a few of our friends who had him DJ their weddings. We gave him a few playlists to play during the day's events, and we let him know to add anything to keep the night going; let me tell you, he kept the night going even when things slowed down a bit. Desmond was thrilled to help us host a honeymoon raffle instead of doing a bouquet/garter toss, and he even came out on the dancefloor to bust some moves! He is so incredibly kind and fun to be around. Please consider hiring him for your wedding or special event!

Excellent Service!

Desmond did a great job and had people on the dance floor all night, just as I’d hoped. The photo booth was great and having those memories from our event will be cherished for years to come.
