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.

If you are looking for a wedding DJ that can do both classy and absolutely insane dance floor energy… book Joey the DJ immediately.
 
Joey was incredible from start to finish. He was super chill and easy to work with throughout the entire process, kept everything flowing smoothly during the wedding, hit every cue perfectly, and somehow managed to read the room ALL night.
 
And then the dance floor opened.
 
Absolute chaos in the best possible way. Sweat everywhere. People screaming lyrics. Zero empty spots on the dance floor the entire night. He completely flipped the energy and turned our wedding into the kind of party people are still talking about.

We wanted fun, hype, unforgettable vibes and Joey absolutely delivered. Could not recommend him more. THANK YOU JOEY 🔥

If you’re looking for a DJ look no further than Joey. He was amazing. Such a great DJ- went above and beyond. Even brought my husband and I food to make sure we ate! Taught the kids how to DJ! Everyone had a blast and danced and sang all night. Thanks again Joey!

TL:DR Joey has the best pricing and service package that I have ever found for wedding DJ service.

To preface, I have attended, planned, and stood in over 2 dozen weddings over the last 15 years. When I found Joey he put on the best show at a friend's wedding I had ever seen. Fast forward to my wedding planning, he spent over an hour on the phone talking about our tastes in music, what themes we wanted for each part of our wedding day, and he had valuable suggestions and was genuinely excited to help make ours the best day possible for US rather than offer a copy and paste service. And it worked amazingly well. Since then I have recommended him to several other friends and they had the same experience. This included dealing with a literal thunderstorm suddenly rolling in; he immediately called on the groomsmen to relocate the equipment from the tent into the building patio and my guy didnt even miss a beat by playing Thunderstuck and kept it going into the night! People are still talking about that a year later.

Pricing: he keeps his rates competitive with all other DJ companies, typically coming in around 10-20% lower in total package (if im remembering correctly) . You can find less expensive deals but will get much less value for the dollar comparatively.

Service and package: the service includes several things that other companies charge extra premiums (I may forget some things here) - MC for crowd management and announcements through the entire event, custom Playlist for all parts of the day - arrival, cocktail hour, ceremony, dance party, etc. He provides full sound system and lighting at no charge as well. These are high markup premiums for other DJ companies.

I was so grateful that Joey was the DJ for our wedding! He is professional, knows how to engage an audience, the music was incredible and had people dancing all night! He made it exactly like what we dreamed of! I would 💯 recommend Joey!!

We hired Joey for our wedding, and he was amazing every step of the way. Joey has an incredible energy that made him so easy to work with. He helped us through the entire process, asked thorough questions of what we wanted, and made a ton of great suggestions that made our day incredibly special. From working with the planners, vendors, and staff, to managing the event flow and timeline, Joey was awesome. The most impressive thing about Joey is that he knows how to read the room - whether it is as an MC at the reception or as the DJ during the dancing, he handled everything perfectly. We gave him rough musical direction and some song examples for each event of the night, and told him we trusted him based on his experience and our preferences.

He showed up on time with a smile and ready to go. It was absolutely flawless and planned professionally even with a last-minute venue change. Truly amazing experience.

I first met Joey when he was the DJ and MC at our high school reunion. He did such a great job, I recently hired him for our wedding! He is fun, professional and cared about what was important to us for that day. He played fantastic tunes that kept everyone on the dance floor and having a great time! He was a terrific MC and the schedule flowed perfectly. Can't wait to have another party and hire him again!

Joey was fantastic. He was so friendly, polite, and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process and the event itself. He had great energy and showed a true passion for his work! He kept the crowd active, read the room, and followed every instruction we provided. He allowed us to give as much music input as we wanted and was truly amazing. I wouldn't have wanted our wedding to be hosted by any other DJ! Thank you Joey!!

Joey was our wedding DJ and we lovingly refer to him as our “family DJ,” as he has DJ’d several of our family’s events and celebrations. He is truly exceptional and knows exactly how to create an incredible atmosphere. Joey was professional and helpful throughout the planning process, helping us curate the perfect vibe for our wedding. His ability to read the room and deliver a seamless, memorable experience is unmatched. We absolutely adore him!
