Creates the party!

State of Mind DJ (Karol) was an absolute hit at our wedding. Our families and guests are not naturally loud and full of energy, but he raised the energy quickly and kept the party going the entire time. The dance floor was busy the whole night, the Shoe-ly wed game was hilarious, and the introductions were great. Multiple people have complimented our DJ, and we highly recommend him – especially for Polish/American weddings.

Hire this guy!

Karol is a phenomenal DJ. We planned our wedding date around his availability and he did not disappoint! We received so many compliments from our guests about how great he was and we completely agree! He cares about you and your guests, checks in with you throughout the night to make sure he is doing everything as you imagined, and obviously keeps the dance floor packed! Awesome DJ and person.

The best dj

As soon as we got engaged, we knew we had to have Karol as our DJ. Our one desire was for our wedding to be a big party where everybody was having the best time. Karol effortlessly made that happen.

Throughout the entire process, Karol was extremely detailed, walking us through everything. Whether it was our song selections, walking us through how everything was going to run, or his suggestions and recommendations, he was so thorough and gave us such a great understanding of the entire process.

We hire Karol for our reception, the "Dancing on a Cloud" effect, music for our ceremony, and to hire a saxophonist for our cocktail our. The reception was the perfect party, which is entirely attributable to Karol. The "Dancing on a Cloud" effect for our first dance made for the most beautiful pictures as well. The saxophonist was such a cool and unique touch to our wedding as well! Lastly, the ceremony music was perfect, exactly how we discussed it with Karol!

2 months later, people are still talking about how much fun our wedding was and how beautiful the "Dancing on a Cloud" was! We could not be happier with how our wedding turned out and could not imagine hiring anybody other than Karol! We would 100% recommend him to any couple!

Fantastic DJ and MC skills

We hired Karol to be our DJ and MC for our wedding. He flawlessly executed combining both Polish and English languages. Plenty of people admired his skill set of getting the party going and making sure the dance floor is full. We really enjoyed working with SOM and we are so happy that changing our wedding date to have him as a DJ payed off :) he's worth the money!! Super professional and makes the process clear and easy. He knows what he's doing and offers suggestions to what in his experience has and has not worked. Fantastic job!! Thank you so so much!

State of Mind is the BEST DJ!!

State of Mind, please accept our huge THANK YOU for your spectacular performance as our wedding DJ. You were seriously above and beyond awesome! We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding reception such a great party! Your energy and your phenomenal playlist had us all dancing the night away without barely catching a breath. Some of our favorite memories of the night will be when we saw nearly all of our 240 guests dancing to Zorba, raving to Sandstorm, and racing each other to the musical chairs with items that made the crowd cry from laughter! Everyone was so engaged and still cannot stop talking about how amazing of a DJ you were! We will 100% recommend you to everyone we know and look forward to working with you again during all our future events! Dziękujemy!!!

The best!!!!!!!!

There was a point before the wedding where I had Karol on speed dial and he delivered each and every way possible! We had a Polish-American wedding and Karol’s MCing skills were perfect! He kept our guests dancing all night long! He definitely catered to our versatile crowd and I am so truly thankful.

Karol, you have an unprecedented gift. I’ve met so many DJs and then there was you and I’m so glad our paths crossed! You are timely, professional, flexible, courteous, the list can go on and on! Thank you so so so so so much for being a part of our special day!

Amazing Polish/American DJ!

Karol from State of Mind DJ is hands-down the best DJ I have come across. He DJ'd and MC'd our wedding, which was half Polish and half American and he did a spectacular job. His bilingual MCing was SEAMLESS. Everyone had such amazing things to say about his work. He was very helpful and supportive during the playlist process and took his time to make sure everything was right. Super professional and very responsive at all times. The games he provides are so fun- everyone at our wedding had an absolute blast whether they watched or participated! Despite having a tough crowd, he always had people on the dancefloor grooving especially us, the newlyweds! Do not hesitate to hire Karol for your DJ needs. Will definitely hire him for future events! Absolutely fantastic, you will not regret it! Thank you, Karol!

Guests Loved Him!

Having a wedding during these weird times is difficult and uncertain. Due to downsizing our wedding, I wasn’t sure how the dancing would be or even if people would dance due to the small crowd. I was so wrong! Everyone complimented us all night about how great the DJ was! He kept everyone dancing and played a variety of different genres for everyones taste. It truly made the party, and was such a relief to us as a couple to see our guests enjoying themselves. Thank you so much State of Mind DJ!!!

The absolute best!

State of Mind DJ was literally our favorite part of the wedding! We had a destination wedding as we are from California on September 1, 2019 and he made it as easy as possible being extremely available and handling everything over the phone or via email. Being as I am Polish and my husband is American, Karol did not disappoint either nationality as every single guest absolutely raved about the amazing job he did. He picked a perfect middle of music, wonderful words and enertainment for both sides to enjoy every single minute of. There was not one single person out of 140 that was sitting down during the wedding and, for that, we have State of Mind DJ to thank. We hesistate on having any events in California simply because we cannot imagine not having him as our DJ. Absolutely remarkable!

Simply the best

We worked with Karol for our wedding and he is absolutely amazing. The guests had a blast and they couldn't stop talking about him after the wedding! If you are considering Karol, I would absolutely recommend him. We didn't book our venue until we knew Karol was available!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
