Wonderful to work with, and excellent service!

We loved having The Needle DJ & MC our reception! Blake and Maggie were both professional, kind, and helpful. We felt at ease and relaxed knowing that our party would be totally taken care of. Many guests told us afterwards that it was one of the most lively dance floors they'd ever seen at a wedding- I don't think it was ever empty!! 10/10 would recommend!

We love The Needle!

Blake with The Needle was amazing from wedding planning to wedding day! We met a few times before the wedding to hash out all the tiny details and Blake was very helpful and knowledgeable. Blake worked seamlessly around our specific “do’s and don’ts” playlist and kept the party going all night! He knew exactly when and what songs to play to keep people on the dance floor and his lighting equipment really set the mood! Blake is personable yet very professional and did an all-around phenomenal job! Blake exceeded our needs and expectations and went above and beyond to ensure our best day ever really was the best! Thank you Blake!

He kept the dance floor moving and did a phenomenal job emceeing throughout the night.. being a COVID bride a lot of stuff got hectic and weird, but Blake made the whole process so easy!! He will for sure be my one and only choice for any DJ services in the future!
