Joey The DJ

My husband and I got married to express our love and commitment... but we had a wedding to have the dance party of our dreams. And thanks to Joey, we had one so epic we're still getting compliments about it months later.

Almost everyone who attended our wedding loves music and dancing, and among us we have a varied and sometimes eclectic taste in music. So aside from the usual basic logistics (i.e. guest comfort and good food), having an exceptional dance party was our most important singular entity. Yes, of course we wanted a stellar emcee for the whole day, but we also wanted a DJ who could actually mix songs from different genres in real-time, read the crowd, and make artistic decisions on the fly. Joey did all that and more (and was reasonably-priced to boot).

So after interviewing several potential DJs who were more in the "emcees-who-press-play" category (which is perfectly fine, but not what we were looking for), Joey stood out as someone who also has experience DJing at nightclubs and making music himself, enthusiastically answering my many questions on his approach to mixing music both live and in advance. Joey was involved and flexible from the very start, and his excitement for incorporating whatever off-the-wall request we could throw at him made the whole process even more fun. He was also more than game for our not-so-traditional bouquet toss, an all-out brawl meticulously timed to specific parts of a song.

But it wasn't just the dance party that I recommend him for. For the whole day, Joey went above and beyond - he did an amazing job with the ceremony, including dealing with last-minute changes so seamlessly that nobody was the wiser. During cocktail hour and dinner, he did a great job of mixing classic "wedding music" our older guests would enjoy with higher energy beats tailored to our friends. And throughout the reception, he kept the guests enthusiastically engaged, somehow getting to know our family and friends all while keeping the music flowing and adapting to schedule changes on the fly.

After the party was the after party, and he kept the dance floor FULL from the moment dinner ended to the wee hours of the morning. And that was when we found out he also knew exactly when to switch from bespoke dance club vibes to early aughts, middle-school-dance-party hits in the final hour, something we didn't even know we needed until some familiar hits activated us like sleeper agents. By the end of the night, our friends were chanting his name like we were seeing our favorite artist performing live.

But you don't just have to take my word for it - months later we're still getting compliments about the dance party across all age ranges. And the unanimous feedback is not just that it was great, but that it was the best wedding dance party they've ever been to. The fact that he provided this experience for such a competitive price still feels like a dream.

So in sum, if you're looking for a true master of ceremony who can also make it feel like you're at a dance club specifically tailored to the tastes of you and your friends, I strongly recommend hiring an actual DJ who happens to also be tremendous at emceeing weddings. And specifically, I recommend Joey.

Joey was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was the perfect DJ for our wedding.

Joey was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, prepared, and easy to work with. He did an amazing job reading the room and choosing music that was perfect for each moment of the night—from the ceremony and special moments to keeping the dance floor going throughout the reception.

One of my favorite parts of the planning process was the easy-to-use app he provided, which allowed us to add songs to different playlists and designate music for specific special moments. It made it so easy to communicate exactly what we wanted while still giving him the flexibility to use his expertise and adjust to the energy of the crowd.

Most importantly, the music was seamless the entire night. There was literally no stoppage in music except when an announcement needed to be made. The transitions were smooth, the timing was perfect, and the dance floor stayed full all night. You could tell he had put a lot of thought and preparation into making sure everything flowed effortlessly.

He truly helped make our wedding night so much fun and stress-free. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, well-prepared DJ who knows how to keep the party going!

Joey is the definition of a true professional. From preparation to execution, his communication, organization, and attention to detail were exceptional.

On the wedding day, he managed everything effortlessly, always staying one step ahead while keeping the couple’s experience his top priority. As a DJ and MC, Joey absolutely shines—his music selections were perfectly tailored to the couple, and his MCing was polished, energetic, and engaging without ever feeling over the top.

As a fellow wedding professional, what impressed me most was how easy he was to work with. He’s communicative, supportive, humble, and a genuine team player.

Joey is the complete package: an outstanding DJ and MC, a detail-oriented professional, and an all-around great person. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to any couple!

I can’t begin to describe how great it was to work with Joey. My (now) wife and I were very particular on the music that we wanted played at our wedding and he took to the assignment and ran with it. He balanced being an amazing MC throughout the night, and mixing in crowd favorites with some of our personal more niche picks into an unforgettable night. We had multiple guests tell us after our wedding that was their favorite wedding music set they’ve heard at a wedding!

Joey was our DJ at Eden Gardens and he got such great feedback from our guests! From the beginning, he was all about what we wanted! He was the only DJ we interviewed that had an app where we could go in and pick songs based on timeline. He didn't just ask for a Spotify list. He spent hours discussing the details of our wedding and going over the timeline, giving us his professional input on Grand Entrances and how to perfectly execute.

Its really important to us to like the people we work with and Joey was easily one of our favorite wedding vendors. He is respectful, funny and had the perfect energy for our wedding. We honestly want to throw another big event just to get to work with Joey again lol

I read one of his reviews and it really sold me on the type of person he is. Joey is not just a DJ/MC that will come play your Spotify list. He will take your vision and bring it to life. He was on top of everything- responded to our coordinator right away, was the first to submit his COI to the venue, arrived early to set up equipment in three different staging areas and checked in with our wedding party to make sure we were ready to go!

Joey was awesome! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. He went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was one of the best days of our lives. Joey is an amazing DJ and an awesome MC. Joey is full of great ideas of his own but is also very flexible and open to whatever ideas you throw at him. Most importantly, Joey is a genuinely nice and caring person who understands the sacred nature of what he is participating in (weddings) and who does everything in his power to create a magical night for the newlyweds. Thanks Joey!

We hired Joey to DJ our post-elopement celebration, and he was absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning, he was easy to communicate with, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure the music matched the atmosphere we wanted.

Our celebration wasn’t a traditional wedding reception—we weren’t doing a first dance, bouquet toss, or many of the usual formalities. Joey understood exactly what we were going for and created the perfect soundtrack for the evening. The music kept the energy up without ever feeling overpowering, and he did a great job reading the room and adjusting throughout the night.

His setup looked and sounded great, transitions were seamless, and everything ran flawlessly. We received several compliments from our guests about the music, and it added so much to the overall experience.

If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, reliable, and knows how to create the right vibe for your event, I highly recommend Joey. He helped make our celebration one we’ll never forget, and we’d gladly hire him again!

We had the wedding of our dreams! Joey kept the rhythm going for the whole night. Our guests loved him and they've been telling me it's the most fun they've had at a wedding! Played all the right songs, very communicative, flexible with our preferences. Thanks for everything Joey!

THE BEST! Literally became such a good friend. I saw his work at my friends wedding and my husband and I were like: We NEED this facilitator. Joey is so helpful and encouraging, very thoughtful and organized, just what we needed after many months of wedding decision fatigue. Thank you so much for all your great work and the time you put into us. You made us feel really known and seen.
