Experience
I was born in a record store and educated on the radio. During my 20+ years in New York, I was a resident DJ at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square before finding out how fun it is to play weddings. Now I'm splitting my time between the tri-state area/Hudson Valey and the Reno/Tahoe area.

There is no better DJ

DJ Julie is simply the best there is, because she truly enjoys putting on a great party. We first met her at another friend's wedding, where she DJ'd a riotous dance party that was very tailored to the couple but also kept people of all ages on the dance floor all night long. No easy feat. We were particularly struck by the fact that she obviously loved the music herself and cared deeply about making everyone happy. She asked guests what they were hoping to hear (and not hear!) during the cocktail hour, and during the reception, danced along in her booth in a way that gave everyone else permission to let loose. We knew we had to hire her for our wedding, which our friends encouraged. Working with her exceeded all our expectations. She got to know us, meeting with us several times to discuss our tastes and plans. She suggested the perfect songs for various moments throughout the ceremony and party from her truly incredible memory for music, and she even helped us source a karaoke setup for our pre-wedding party. The day itself went off without a hitch. She laughed, earnestly we're pretty sure, at our jokes during the ceremony (thanks Julie, we're glad someone did!), helped us smoothly navigate a slight scheduling mishap, and, when the party started, kept everyone on the dance floor for several hours with a playlist that was somehow both completely reflective of us and accessible to guests of all ages. Many guests complimented us, and her, during the night, and at least one of them is planning to hire her for their wedding. You can stop looking now. There is no better DJ.

Highly Recommend!

Julie was incredible. She made sure to play a wide range of music given the parameters we provided, but also played some surprises that were a big hit. So many guests raved about her after the wedding. We couldn't be more pleased! Thank you, Julie! Our party was fun and memorable because of you.

Creating super vibe and non-stop dancing

Julie was absolutely top-notch throughout preparation and all the way through our wedding celebration. All our guests raved about her music selection and how she kept the vibes going and everyone on the dance floor all night long. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good time. We would definitely book her again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
