More energy than a Beyoncé concert!!!!!

My husband and I could not be more thrilled that we chose DJ Chris as our wedding music vendor. I wish anyone reading this review could have been a fly on the wall for our dance floor - the energy was off the charts and the guests did not want to leave the dance floor because of Chris’s amazing mixing and music choices!! He was extremely organized with his planning in the months leading before the wedding and found a way to hit all of our music tastes - from the oldies to EDM to hip hop - he can do it all! Chris also surprised us with an incredible video screen booth that featured photos of my husband and I and a quote from our first dance song. Chris literally thinks of it all!!! I cannot recommend him enough, we are so grateful he made our reception be even more amazing than we ever imagined!!!!!

HIGHLY recommend, you will not regret it!

Chris was absolutely incredible!!! My husband and I got married in June and we can confidently say our wedding would not have been the same without Chris as our DJ. Throughout the entire process, Chris was super easy to work with, extremely professional and responsive, and made sure our vision for the night was brought to life. His talent is unmatched, and he was also able to customize our father/daughter and mother/son songs. Our top priority was to make sure the dance floor was packed all night, and Chris did just that! We are still getting messages from our guests saying how they have never seen a dance floor so packed, all night long. He did an awesome job of mixing different genres so all of our guests could enjoy. Chris went above and beyond and even checked in with myself and my husband throughout the night to make sure we were having fun, see if we needed anything, etc. We cannot thank Chris enough for making our wedding the best night ever! HIGHLY recommend, you will not regret it!

RUN, don’t walk! Book Chris for your next event.

A few years ago, my husband attended a wedding where Chris was the DJ, and he came home saying, ‘I want him for our wedding someday.’ Fast forward to last weekend and Chris exceeded all our expectations. The dance floor was packed all night, and he truly helped make it the best day of our lives. Chris has an incredible talent for reading the crowd and keeping the energy high, and he played a huge role in making our dream wedding come true. We can’t recommend him enough!

The Best Wedding DJ You'll Find!

Chris was our wedding DJ at Brown’s Revolution Hall and absolutely nailed it (by far the best choice we made for our wedding)! We had a couple of unique songs and events we wanted included in our day, and he sat down with us to help plan everything out. He was reassuring, professional, and his expertise was invaluable! Entertainment at our wedding was perfect. Everything flowed perfectly and he was a huge help in planning the day of logistics and order of each ceremonial event! He also kept the party going all night!

Look No Further!!!

So happy my wife and I decided to hire Chris for our wedding reception! He was professional, attentive, personable, knowledgeable & most of all ... he CRUSHED our reception. He had the dance floor PACKED all night! We also used his Photo Booth & Uplighting services which were a big hit. If you're looking for a DJ who's going to go above and beyond on your special day, do not look any further ... Hire Chris right now! You definitely won't be disappointed!

Kept the dance floor rocking all night!!

Hiring a wedding DJ can be super stressful because in my opinion they can either make or break the night. Chris was absolutely amazing and I knew we had to hire him from the first call we had. Chris instantly understood the vibe we were going for from cocktail hour to the reception. He made suggestions to help with the flow of dancing and was not only professional but you can also just tell he cares about his clients and ensuring they are happy. I told him we were coming to dance and he kept the dance floor alive from the minute we started until the last song. He was also great at reading the room and changed things up if it seemed dancing was slowing down. Several people even came up to me to tell me that they loved him and he was great! We were also able to use the digital photobooth and it was a huge hit!

A dream come true

DJ Chris made our night perfect! He was easy to work with from the very moment we booked him and always responsive to questions and concerns. He kept the party going all night! No one wanted it to end! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an experienced, professional DJ for their special day.

Want an amazing party? Hire Chris.

I can't tell you how many people reached out to my wedding and told me it was the best party they'd been to -- and much of that can be attributed to DJ Chris! The dance floor was full from the moment dancing kicked off to the very end of the wedding. To paint a scene: My 89-year-old grandma was dancing to "Low" by Flo Rida with my friends from college who were more than a few shirt buttons deep.

We gave Chris little guidance in terms of songs, but he ran with it and had the very best playlist all evening. He was super responsive, super social, and just an all-around amazing partner for our wedding. I can't thank him enough and I encourage everyone to work with DJ Chris!

The. Best. Night. Ever!

We had an absolute BLAST at our wedding! We had a total of 4 “must play” songs and left the rest up to Chris - and he definitely delivered. The dance floor was packed. Some guest comments included “Wow I really like this playlist”, “Your DJ is killing it”, “DJ Chris is the man” and “I knew your wedding would be fun but I didn’t think it would be THAT fun!” We can’t thank Chris and his assistant enough. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner, to the reception - it was everything we had asked for and more. Anyone looking for a DJ to get the party started, keep it going, and have your guests raving…look no further.
