Best DJ ever! Ed is amazing!!!

As soon as I spoke with Ed to inquire about DJ service for my wedding, I immediately knew I wanted him to provide entertainment for our day! Ed was so easy to work with and spoke with us numerous times before the wedding and really got to know my husband and I as a couple. He went above and beyond and was so helpful every step of the way. My friends and family absolutely loved him and kept us dancing all night long!! I HIGHLY recommend Ed for DJ service. He was a pleasure to work with and so much fun!

Again and again!

I don’t even know where to begin! Ed is simply amazing! He is so easy to work with and so efficient. He was not just our DJ but acted as our day of coordinator. He made sure everything ran smoothly and put my mind at ease all day. Ed is also graa wast at emailing/communicating. He always got right back to me and it was obvious our big day meant a lot to him! Our day was perfect and Ed had so much to do with that! We would choose him again and again!

Way more than a DJ!

Ed was a great DJ and way more than that! We were planning our wedding from a distance and Ed was so easy to work with and great at communicating with us by phone and email. We think Ed went way above and beyond what is expected from a DJ as he worked closely with our day of coordinator to keep things moving throughout the afternoon and evening. He helped make sure the whole day, not just the music, ran smoothly. We really did not have the best idea of what kind of music we wanted for the general dancing part of the reception and really left things up to Ed. He played a great selection of music keeping people out on the dance floor having fun! I would highly recommend Ed to anyone I know.

AMAZING! Ed was everything we were looking for in a DJ. He listened to what we wanted and gave us just that! He kept the dance floor really engaged and kept our timeline on track. He was conscientious in making sure everything went right, from pronunciation of names to requested songs! We highly recommend him to anyone needing a DJ. Absolutely fantastic.

We were originally on the fence about whether we needed a DJ for our wedding. With it being a daytime brunch reception, we didn’t think people would be all that interested in dancing. We’ve been at weddings where the DJ is loud and obnoxious, which we really wanted to avoid. But, we also weren’t sure about putting together our own playlist and didn’t want to ask one of our family members to be in charge of the music. So, we got a few referrals for DJs and decided to see where that led us.

We called Ed first, since he was recommended by our day-of coordinators, and we immediately knew that he would be a great choice. He sounded so perfect that we didn’t even pursue the other DJs! Ed is very professional and experienced, he has all the equipment you could possibly need, and his pricing is fair and reasonable. He listened to all of our ideas and concerns, and did an amazing job. He managed to play music that reflected our taste – soulful oldies, R&B, folk, blues – and when people DID want to dance (much to our surprise!) he kept the party going. Several guests came up to me and complimented us on the music. We couldn’t imagine a better DJ!

This is who you want.

Ed, the one man operation that is Night Owl DJ's, was excellent. He went from handling sound at the ceremony to serving champagne at the dinner, then live-mixed the evening away, keeping the crowd engaged the whole time.

I've been to a lot of weddings. He is tops.

I recommend him fully and without reservation.

Ed (Night Owl DJ )is the only DJ in Kentuckian you should consider. He was so professional and did many different jobs! He was a timekeeper, wedding coordinator, and DJ all in one. You meet with him, and he is the person that does your wedding. I honestly can't say enough about how AWESOME he is. He completely kept everything in line, and did an awesome job with coordinating with other vendors. I'm already thinking of other events I can have, just so I can work with him again. I knew if I emailed him, he would respond in a timely fashion, and he was open to phone calls at any time. I didn't feel like I had to chase him down, he answered any questions that I had. He did an amazing job at our wedding, and I can't think of anyone else I would have trusted my big day to. You can't go wrong in hiring Ed!

Ed was VERY flexible and worked well with my HIGH demands. My wife and I have a wide variety in our taste in music and I was very picky on what I expected at the wedding. Even with these strict guidelines, he exceeded expectations and kept the party dancing until close. I highly recommend his services.

Ed is fantastic, and I couldn't picture the day without him! He took the lead on things so that I didn't have to. He is very detail oriented and can read a crowd very well. I cannot recommend him enough. Totally worth every penny! He will work with you beforehand to make sure it is exactly what you want.

I am so happy we chose Ed as the DJ for our Louisville wedding!! He was very professional, easy to talk with and help plan the reception, and definitely knew what he was doing!! I had so many people tell me after the wedding that our DJ was amazing! Everyone was dancing the whole evening, and loved his song selections. I had told him before the wedding that we just like a good mix of music, and using that, he was able to play songs that everyone was dancing to the whole time....from 2 yrs old to in their 70s :))
