DJ Russ is the best!!! :)

DJ Russ Ginsberg was absolutely amazing and brought the energy to our wedding! From the moment the music started, the dance floor was packed all night long—especially when we pulled out the light-up cowboy hats! Russ did a fantastic job reading the crowd and playing the perfect mix of music, from upbeat pop hits to country classics and timeless favorites. His energy was infectious, and he kept everything running smoothly throughout the evening. Plus, he was a breeze to work with, making the entire process stress-free. If you want your guests dancing all night long, Russ is definitely the DJ to book!

Best DJ We Could Have Asked For!

Russ was amazing from the very moment we first contacted him. He thought of every detail and was quick to help with suggestions to make our day as perfect as possible, but simultaneously willing to listen to our every request. Not only was he super helpful in the planning process, but he was wonderful at the event itself. The crowd loved him, we loved him, I couldn't recommend him more! Thank you so much, Russ!!!

If you are looking for a great wedding DJ, stop right here because Russ is your guy. From the planning stages to the actual wedding night, Russ was amazing. After our planning call, we felt so confident with Russ and he really took the time to get to know what we wanted. The actual wedding night went GREAT! He had the crowd laughing and dancing and really knew how to get the party started. We highly recommend him! Thank you Russ for an amazing night!

Russ Ginsberg is AMAZING!!! We had the most incredible experience using him as our DJ for our daughter's bat mitzvah. Russ is professional and fun. He DJ'd my nieces bat mitzvah two years ago and we knew then he was our only choice!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him!!!

Russ was exceptional. He is detail oriented, organized, professional....the list goes on. He actually took a lot of stress off of me on the day of the wedding because he stayed involved with the timing of the ceremony, cocktail hour, food, cake cutting, etc. He was flexible and was able to adjust our timeline on the spot as needed. He adapted music and personality to the crowd and did a great job reading his audience. He handles everything in stride, even unruly guests. He also did his homework before the wedding and was very thorough in finding out exactly what we needed and what our tastes were. I highly recommend Russ. It's a decision you will not regret.

Fun and professional at the same time!

Russ was great for our October 2024 wedding in Key Largo. He was very responsive to emails and had great communication. He kept the night exciting & played all the amazing music that kept literally all of our guests on the dance floor till the very end! It was a great party. He kept the vibes going all night & was a fabulous DJ & MC. Highly recommend!

Must-have DJ for your Florida Keys wedding!

I knew when my venue first recommended Russ that he was going to be our DJ. The first time I communicated with him solidified our decision. Russ' all-inclusive package for our wedding made it very easy and there were no surprises or hidden fees! He took the time to get to know my now husband and I on a personal level to ensure that our wedding was all about us. We could not have asked for a better DJ and MC. He was so professional and caring throughout the entire process and listened to all of our requests. The dance floor was hopping even with our smaller wedding size. Our friends and family all commented to us that he was amazing. Stop your search and hire Russ immediately. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Russ for being such an integral part of our special day!

Being from Illinois and planning a destination wedding made me very inquisitive of the service and who to entrust with my daughters wedding. I had the pleasure of meeting with several vendors in the Key largo area as we made a quick trip about 10 months before the wedding. Russ was absolutely awesome! Not only did he provide excellent service but has a personality that allows your guests to have the time of their life. He provided not only the reception music but the music for the wedding. He was timely with all communication and very professional. He is definitely the one you want doing your wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
