Curt is Amazing!!!

Stax O Wax is amazing! We hired Curt to DJ our wedding after my sister used him a few years ago and saw what a fabulous job he did. He delivered another exceptional evening of fun!

Curt is very easy to work with, very professional and very accommodating. We had a few obscure requests for songs, and at very specific times, and he made it happen without blinking an eye! He is fun and kind. It is clear he enjoys what he does and always has a smile on his face! Throughout the entire planning process, he was very responsive and helpful. The night of the wedding, he checked in with us frequently and made sure we were happy with how everything was going. He also assured us that we could change things up at any time. He really wanted to make sure that we had the best night ever!

When our wedding had to change due to CoVid-19 restrictions, we were only able to have 50 guests and no dance floor. I was worried about how the evening would go with such a small crowd but it ended up being incredible! Curt kept people dancing and singing the entire night. Many of our guests commented afterwards on how great he was and how they never wanted to leave the 'dance floor,' due to his musical selections. He is very experienced and knows how to read a crowd.

Thank you, Curt for making our wedding reception so incredible! We had the time of our lives!

Incredible DJ!

If we could give Curt more than 5 stars, we would. He was referred to us by a family member who had him DJ at their wedding, and we would easily recommend him to anyone else. He was always prompt to answer calls and respond to voicemails or emails, and kept lines of communication very open during the planning process. He also made sure the wedding was exactly what we would want. He asked a lot of questions and was extremely knowledgeable! Additionally, his DJ skills were appreciated greatly on the dance floor - our friends were dancing all night long, and more than once told us that they were impressed by the DJ!

Curt and Stax O Wax were incredible, and we would recommend them to everyone!

Wedding DJ

Curt was absolutely amazing!! He made our special day even more perfect. From the beginning, he ensured that we were well informed and was willing to help or answer any questions we might have had. His experience and professionalism was evident through the whole process. He definitely kept the party going and ensured to check up periodically to see how we were doing. Could not be happier with Stax O Wax. Would recommend to anyone!!!

Our DJ, Curt Zimmerman, was the epitome of professionalism. From our initial phone call, to our e-mail communications, online planning and the event itself - Curt honored our wishes and worked with us to craft the reception we wanted. He was extremely responsive and did an excellent job of being unobtrusive but present. Can't say enough good things about our experience. We definitely had a large and varied number of requests and details for him to keep in mind and he nailed it.

I was asking around to find a good DJ, and one of my friends said, "Stax-O-Wax was Phenomenal!" She said that she had used them 20 years ago. I was thrilled to see that they were still in business. We worked with Curt, and he was Great! Our dance floor was packed all night long. I would Absolutely recommend Stax-O-Wax to anyone who needs a DJ!
Thank You Curt!!
Sincerely,

Stax O Wax was phenomenal for our wedding! From our first initial meeting with Curt he was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Having done many weddings before, he guided us with the do's and don'ts for our ceremony and reception and made us feel like we were in great hands. When it came to the wedding day, Curt was fantastic! He made sure all the songs we wanted were played, and did a great job filling in the rest of the playlist for the night. Overall, we definitely recommend Stax O Wax to anyone in need of a DJ, our night was so much smoother and stress free because of him!

Curt was fantastic! He was able to work with us on arranging payment options and was extremely professional. He played great music all night that was excellent for all ages and it wasn't too loud, but it was loud enough to have people dancing outside as well as on the dance floor inside. He also made the cake cutting and speeches and first dances run very smooth. I would tell anyone that wants a d.j. at their wedding about curt and stax o wax.

I have used Stax O Wax before and knew how great their services are. However, my now wife wanted to use a family friend who was less expensive. But the DJ sets the entire mood for the whole event. I stuck to my grounds and we hired Stax O Wax. Now I knew they would be great but when the bartenders, who have seen just about everything, tell you how great the DJ is then you know you have a great DJ. The dance floor was always full with everyone dancing from kids to adults. And yes my wife was very happy I fought her on the DJ as she LOVED Stax O Wax!!! Thank you Curt for an amazing job!

I can not say enough good stuff about Curt and Stax O Wax!! They exceeded our expectations in every way possible. I had a vision in my head of how I wanted my ceremony music to go and without much discussion on it, Curt did it exactly how I had envisioned it! Everything was perfect from beginning to end and Curt definitely kept everyone on the dance floor. In fact, I can't remember a time the floor was empty until it was time to go home! If I was asked to use one word only to describe Stax O Wax and the service they provide, it would be PHENOMENAL!! Thank you so much Curt for making our night so wonderful and for also taking pictures! You got some shots that we haven't seen from anyone else so far!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I know that at every wedding I photograph, and Stax O Wax is there, my job will be even MORE fun. Their energy, ability to read a crowd and attitude is simply amazing! An empty dance floor does not make a wedding fun. With Stax O Wax, there is no chance of that happening!
