Best wedding DJ ever!!

John was the absolute best DJ for our wedding!! From start to finish, it is incredibly clear that he deeply cares about the couple he is working with. We worked with John ahead of our wedding to discuss our music taste - he stayed true to that during the wedding and really made sure our night felt like us. People kept coming up to us throughout the night telling us how fun the dance floor and playlist was! The dance floor was packed the whole night and John kept the party going the whole time. We would recommend John 1000x times over! You will not regret booking John for your event!

Best DJ Hands-Down!

We had John DJ our wedding this April and could not have been more pleased. He was responsive when we first booked him last year and we kept in touch during the planning process, culminating in an awesome playlist that kept the dance floor moving all night long. We loved working with him so much in the beginning that I even hired him for my little sister’s wedding I’m planning this year, too! I’m looking forward to keeping in touch with him over the years; he’s just that awesome. Hire John — you won’t regret it!

Goodwin Wedding in Somerset, VA

John was absolutely the best decision we made for our wedding day! From start to finish, he executed our vision perfectly — he stuck to our playlist exactly as we asked (and gracefully handled guests trying to sneak in song requests… not happening 😂).

The energy toward the end of the night was unreal. The upbeat music he chose kept everyone on the dance floor, and we had so many guests tell us how much they loved the entire playlist. It truly felt like us.

If you’re looking for a wedding DJ who listens, keeps the party going, and delivers exactly what you want, John is your person. One of my bridesmaids just got engaged and I immediately sent her his contact info — that’s how confident I am in recommending him!

DJ Services for Charlottesville Wedding

I cannot recommend John Garland enough! His professionalism, expertise, warmth, and kindness played an integral part in our entire wedding process. His ability to "read the room" and vibes of our larger (135 person) wedding was beyond impressive. He contributed immensely to making sure the flow of the events went smoothly, without any awkward gaps or lulls. If you are looking for a seasoned, reliable, and intentional individual to DJ your wedding or private event, look no further! Hiring John for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made.

Give this DJ a round of applause

John Garland was hired as our wedding DJ. He was reasonably priced, took time to have phone call meetings with us prior to wedding day, and really helped guide us on how to pair music with the vibes we wanted from ceremony to last call. We have had friends and family brag about their DJ doing a great job and making our day so wonderful. He kept our guests on the dance floor and was such a huge part of the fun that was had. We are so thankful we went with him!

Best Wedding DJ!

We are so happy that we worked with John Garland for our wedding reception this past August. John was kind, caring, and professional - he made the planning process easy and the party fun!! We cannot recommend him more highly and he's a great choice for your next big event! He accommodated all of our requests and kept the hits playing all night long, I think our guests would have loved for him to join the after party, too.

Curated the perfect vibe all night long

We originally wanted a live band, but that wouldn’t work with our outdoor venue. In hindsight, however, we would pick John over a live band every time. He was absolutely wonderful to work with, listening intently, offering insight, and accommodating every hope and goal we had. Per our request, John started the night with oldies, eventually transitioning into some more contemporary dance music — he understood the assignment perfectly, and to our pleasant surprise, the dance floor was packed all night! Would recommend John to absolutely anyone and everyone.
