5 star wedding DJ

DJ Jimmy was a wonderful addition to our wedding day! He was professional and handled the logistics seamlessly. During our virtual meeting before the wedding, his expertise was evident, and we felt confident in his ability to manage the ceremony and reception music. Jimmy was also very personable, aligning his music selections perfectly with our preferences and vision. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ!

You will not regret working with them!

I do not have enough words to explain how much you NEED to work with Instant Request We just had our wedding this past Sunday and it was amazing! The most important thing that we were looking for in a DJ was someone who would be comfortable mixing music for multiple cultures. My family is Ghanian so we wanted to make sure our dance floor had something for everybody. ALSO, they have karaoke which has always been something I've dreamed of having at my wedding! We worked with Jack Danielson and he exceeded our expectations. He was able to blend karaoke and dancing without any issues and overall he was just a great personality. If your on the fence, please let this be the review that tips you over to book with them. You will not regret it!

We highly recommend!

We worked with Tom at Instant Request DJ Entertainment for our wedding in September, and we could not have been any happier! He did a great job of communicating with us quickly and making the process so easy! He had everyone out on the dance floor dancing the whole night! We highly recommend!

Danny is the best!!!

We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Danny for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out! From the very beginning, Danny was incredibly professional, attentive, proactive, and an overall fun and wonderful person to be around. He went above and beyond in every possible way, truly making our day unforgettable.

When our ceremony needed additional speakers, Danny jumped in without hesitation, ensuring that every guest could hear our vows clearly. But what really set him apart was how he saved the day during our reception. The yacht club's sound system was less than ideal, but Danny quickly brought in extra speakers at the last minute, ensuring that our speeches and music were flawless. His quick thinking and dedication prevented what could have been a stressful situation and allowed us to fully enjoy the evening without a hitch.

Danny is someone you can trust completely to handle any situation that arises. His professionalism, talent, and willingness to go the extra mile make him a top-notch DJ. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who will deliver an exceptional experience and ensure that your event is everything you've dreamed of!

Thank you so much Danny!

Fabulous DJ!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding than DJ Eric! From start to finish, Eric was phenomenal. His professionalism and energy were evident from our initial consultation to the very last song of the night.

Firstly, Eric’s attention to detail was impressive. During our consultation a few weeks before the wedding, he provided experienced insight and offered guidance where we asked. He took time to understand our music preferences, and he seamlessly blended our favorite tracks with crowd-pleasers, making sure there was something for everyone!

He came early to set up and brought a top-notch sound system that provided clear audio throughout the venue. We didn’t have to worry about a thing because he was always on top of it. Eric handled transitions between different segments of the night seamlessly his enthusiasm was contagious which kept the dance floor packed the entire night!

Instant Requests as a whole was wonderful to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event. Their online wedding planner covers almost any detail that may be in question allowing for a smooth and seamless night!

Rick was amazing!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the first consultation to the last song of the night, our DJ Rick was nothing short of spectacular. He understood our music preferences perfectly and seamlessly blended our favorite tracks with crowd-pleasing hits that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long.
Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start. Rick arrived early to set up and ensured everything ran smoothly. They also took the time to understand the vibe we wanted and tailored the music to match every moment, from our romantic first dance to the high-energy party.
Our guests are still raving about the music and the incredible atmosphere Rick created. If you're looking for a DJ who is talented, reliable, and genuinely cares about making your event unforgettable, look no further. Thank you, Rick, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!
