Shades 'n Staples just DJ'd at my wedding this past weekend. These guys are absolutely talented and know how to keep the party crackin' on night long! The most fun part about weddings is when the dance floor opens up and the guests can get loose and just dance. I've been to a few weddings where the DJ was terrible, resulting in people not really dancing, therefore, not really having fun. With Shades 'n Staples, that will definitely not happen! They were very responsive via email and text. Working with them was very easy. I would send them a list of songs, when to play them and they took care of the rest. The price was very reasonable. A DJ is something that you don't want to cut corners on or the dance floor with be empty. I grew up listening to 90s and 00s music and they incorporated a lot of that as well as current popular songs with smooth transitions. Throughout the night, I had soooo many guests come up to me asking, "Who's the DJ?" and "The DJ is killin' it in there! The music is on point!"

Hands down, the best DJ I've ever listened to and I will definitely be hiring them again for any special events.

They're the best. Everyone at our wedding was dancing, drinking, having fun, and asking "who's your DJ?" Justin et al are easy going, easy to deal with, and extremely responsive to email. They got everything right from the ceremony, to announcements, to dancing. We grew up in the 90's and love the R/B (Usher, Doveshack, Snoop Dog, SWV etc). This is what we requested and Shadesnstaples delivered. Highly recommend.

DJ Shades N Staples were excellent. Their DJ group is the best bang for your buck crew in the wedding business! After inquiring around and seeing how much other companies charge, these guys were an amazing value! Being the groom, and taking care of the vendors for my wedding, I made the call to these guys and was promised to get the best experience. Being the worrywart I am, I constantly checked in with them to see that they were on it. Rest-assured, they had me and my wife's back the whole time.

I had meetings and email correspondences with them prior to my wedding to get things situated. I worried about their set-ups and lighting packages... they got me. I worried that they wouldn't have enough time to get things situated on the day-of... they got me. I worried that they wouldn't play the music my guests would want to hear... they got me! They were on top of it all! They had the equipment they needed to make it a great event. They came to my meetings with the venue to make sure that they knew where they were going to set up and to make sure they had everything they needed. They even met with me on a few occasions to talk music and see what music we wanted them to play. They were all about the details! With weddings, it is definitely about the details, and they knew what they were doing.

I would recommend these guys for any event you need good music and a fun vibe. They sure know how to create the atmosphere you're going for, just from the music they're playing. They have a wide variety of songs, from Top 40, to 80's hits, slow jams, and my personal favorite, 90's old school jams! They got it all!

If you want a great crew with the music to boot... CHOOSE THESE GUYS FOR YOUR WEDDING!! You will not be disappointed. They are IT!

DJ Lucas was awesome on our wedding day! He came in to the reception on time and ready to set up. He was great helping me with my music play list and communicated well with me beforehand to make sure everything is ok. Will definitely refer him to my friends!
