My husband and I hired Chris for our wedding at the Bently Reserve this past June, and we truly we loved working with him. He made our wedding such a fun, memorable evening, and we cannot recommend him more highly!
When we started looking for a DJ, my husband and I knew immediately what kind of music we DIDN’T want at our wedding: no cheesy wedding songs, no lame novelty acts, basically nothing that came with its own dance moves. We wanted music that was actually GOOD and got people to just have fun and dance and be themselves – something we’ve found distressingly rare at weddings.
But more than that, we wanted our wedding to have a very specific vibe: my husband and I are both children of the 90s and aficionados of hip-hop and R&B, and we wanted every part of our wedding to reflect that part of us. When we first talked to Chris, we knew right away that he was perfect -- and, if you’re looking for a fellow fan of 90s hip hop, you honestly won’t find anyone more excited about that music than Chris. We worked with him to create a very specific cocktail/dinner mix with lots of hip hop throwbacks, and slow jams (think Erykah Badu, Common, Tribe, Biggie, etc). For dancing, we asked him to come up with a mix of current pop/hip hop songs to get everyone on the floor, but to also mix in a bunch of throwbacks that would take people back – and not just the standard played out mix of 90s jams, but some deeper cuts, too. In fact, we asked him to find songs that made people say, “I forgot I loved this song!” And not only did he not look at us like we were crazy – he was actually excited to find that music for us. He even put together a custom mix of songs for our first dance that sounded seamless and incredible.
Chris truly made our wedding an incredibly fun night that we will never forget, and one that we know our guests won’t forget, either (especially considering we spent the next week fielding requests for our playlist!)
