Got the vibe


We had a backyard wedding on a day that changed between pouring rain to scorching sun. Joe was entirely on track and got the vibe instantly, letting us go from a quiet and emotional ceremony into a full on dance party. It was great communicating with him along the way, and on the day of. The ability to switch between live music and DJ was perfect and we very much think it's a bang for your buck.

Joe is a Legend!

Joe DJ’d our wedding in June of 2026. He did an absolutely incredible job. He played all the hits we were hoping for and knew exactly when to to play them. He also kept his announcements limited and professional rather than being overly talkative which we greatly appreciated. We can’t recommend him enough!!

Fantastic Experience!

Joe was a great DJ for us, and was easy to work with. We had 185 people attend our reception, and he kept the dance floor packed the entire time.

We talked over the phone before booking him, then talked again a few weeks before the wedding. He gave us a worksheet to fill out with information about the venue, timeline, wedding party introductions, dances, and music. We gave him some must-play songs and sent him Spotify playlists with songs that fit our vibe and with songs requested by our guests. Joe also helped us workshop the timing/order of formal dances, which we wanted to switch up from how it's traditionally done.

Joe did a great job as MC during the reception, and then did a fantastic job once the dancing got started. He worked in our must-plays, made some special announcements/callouts that we requested, and chose music that got everyone excited. The sound system was also good, and the volume was perfect. A lot of guests told us they loved the music!

We have absolutely no hesitation recommending Joe as a wedding DJ. Coordinating with him was one of the least stressful parts about the wedding planning, and he helped bring the party to life on the day-of.

The best!

Joe is awesome, he's super popular amongst a group of people that I know. I called him really last minute for an event and I totally knew that he was going to be booked. He went well out of his way though to actually go through a network of people that he would recommend and find someone so that I wouldn't have to do it myself, and that I could find someone that he knew would be good. SOoooo above and beyond! He makes sure every detail is taken care of because when you hire Joe, you're hiring the actual owner. And in his previous life he also was an executive so he knows how to work well under pressure and maintain a really high level of professionalism, a level head and can troubleshoot through literally anything! He will be handling details you never even knew were an issue! Thank you Joe!

Perfect for any wedding or event

Joe was very professional and helpful. He kept the party going all night and he was just all around a great addition to have at the wedding - he seems to love what he does! Exactly what you would want from a wedding DJ. Plays what you want but also knows how to get the crowd going

Great Wedding DJ!

Joe did a fantastic job DJing our recent wedding! We actually found Joe attending a friend's wedding a couple of years back, and thought he was fantastic, so he was one of the first vendors we reached out to when it came time to plan our big day! His blend of live acoustic and DJing provided an awesome variety between our cocktail hour and reception, and he had our dance floor full all night.

Throughout the planning process, Joe was super proactive and responsive to our emails which we really appreciated. All around seamless, excellent experience working with Joe - would recommend him to anyone!

Joe was the perfect DJ for our wedding. The budget was very reasonable for the DJ services and lighting set up.

Acoustic and DJ services all in one made our wedding!

Joe was an absolute pleasure to work with! His ability to do both acoustic guitar music and DJ services really drew us to him and ultimately made our wedding a huge success - everyone enjoyed the variety! Whether it was the acoustic instrumental songs he played for our ceremony, the acoustic music/singing he then played for our cocktail hour right down to the DJ music which kept the celebration on the dance floor going all night. We highly highly recommend Joe!!

Put your mind at ease with Dj Joe

Joe was exceptional. He was highly professional and so good at going with the flow and pivoting when necessary. It was so nice to fully trust and not worry about a DJ vendor because Joe had it all under control. He played from a curated playlist we put together but also put his own spin on things. We appreciated how he had everything in control and not only Dj’ed but sang and played guitar too! The best of all worlds.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
