Amazing DJ!!

Chuck did an amazing job!! I am so glad that we used him. He was perfect for our big day. He came with all his own equipment and helped us make an amazing day. He was very clear about what he needed from us and what he is planning to do. He was able to navigate a rainy day and was able to make our outdoor ceremony a success. Chuck met with us the month before the wedding and helped us decide all of the details. He was very prepared and had lists to help us make our decisions. He is very very experienced and was able to guide us to the right decision. He checked in with me the week of the wedding and confirmed all the final details. He worked hard to make everything work for us and our special requests were perfect!! Our guests loved him! He brought so many extra props and had super fun games that kept all of our party engaged! Chuck is such a fun guy, that was seen through the whole day. He honored our playlist requests and played all the right music. Chuck did very well and knew exactly what to play to get people back on the dance floor. He even took pictures of the entire day of the wedding and shared them with us. It is so amazing to have these photos and memories. He communicate with us as well as our parents, which I really appreciated. He was well worth the price! I cannot say enough good things about him!

An epic day!

We contacted Chuck about our wedding dance because I had attended events he DJ'd in the past, and he had always done an amazing job. My wife and I weren't sure about having a dance after our reception because we knew a lot of our guests weren't really the dancing type, but didn't feel right not having one, because we wanted everyone to have a fun night. Chuck did an AMAZING job, and kept the dancefloor full ALL NIGHT!! He interacted with the crowd, and mixed up his playlist until even my parents were out there dancing which I never expected to see. Planning the event went very smoothly with him. Had a few emails, phone calls, and met with him in person once to finalize some details. He was very accommodating and flexible to work with. We would not hesitate to hire him again, and 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for an event!!

Chuck Blum is the best

Chuck is the best he is very detail oriented and patient for people like us who had no idea what we were doing. We had a back yard wedding at my grandparents place and he figured out all of our needs.

I can not even begin to put into words how phenomenal Chuck was! He truly values every single one of his couples and makes it all about them! It’s as if he knows you personally, that’s how happy he is for you! He’s a natural and will be who we call if we ever need any music needs! Just so awesome!

One of the BEST!

Chuck Blum is hands down one of the best, if not the best, DJs we have ever encountered. From our first meeting he was professional, personable, and genuine. We felt so confident in his abilities and he really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our wedding reception. We had several meetings/phone calls/emails to make sure we were all on the same page/had the right information for our special day. He was super flexible with our timeline and decor, he matched what we wanted for music, and he had a lot of fun ways of keeping the dance alive all night long. He also took a number of photos throughout the night and they were so fun to look at the next day! You won't regret hiring Chuck for your wedding or other special event. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Wedding Reception

Chuck did an awesome job with our wedding reception. He made sure things ran smoothly and kept the dance floor full all night long. Chuck also had a lot of fun ideas that made the night memorable. Many of my extended family have told me that my wedding was the funnest one they’ve been to in a long, and that is by and large due to Chuck.
