Highly recommend Total Event Audo for weddings

Our experience with Total Event was exceptional from the time we first requested a quote all the way through the end of the wedding event. Joel was very proactive on communicating with us throughout the process to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. He also offered a number of helpful suggestions along the way that we would have never thought about. We wound up making some last minute changes at the venue and he handled them flawlessly. He provided music for the ceremony and reception and was the MC and did a terrific job. I would give Total Event Audio a six star rating if I could. They are that good.

Highly recommend this DJ!

BEST DJ by far!!! Joel and Team at Total Events DJ'd and MC'd my wedding at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and did a fantastic job! He was professional and attentive throughout the entire planning process, and executed perfectly on wedding day. Joel and team brought great energy to our reception and were really good about 'reading the room' with music choices to get people on the dance floor throughout the night. All in all, our wedding was a BLAST and we couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Joel (and second Joel!) at Total Events!

The DJ of my dreams

These guys were the absolute best DJs I could’ve asked for, Joel walked us through the whole process of picking songs making the experience feel a lot easier. I told him what I envisioned for my wedding and he hit it 100%. Wouldn’t recommend going to anyone else but these guys here!!!

Awsome DJ!

He's super nice, and makes sure your day is the way you dreamed it would be. He is quick to adapt to changing plans and can read a room to adapt to the mood of the party.

Last minute booking

What a great wonderful experience with Joel.booked him
About 2 1/2 weeks before our wedding. He made sure every thing was perfect with the sound, music, lighting, and the video I made for my dad. Love the energy he brought. Thank you for helping make our day beautiful and amazing. Book them!!! Well worth it.

They were so great!

I was so worried about finding a DJ that would cue the music right at the moments that I wanted for our special songs: when the bride entered the ceremony space, when it was time for first dance, etc. And I have to say that Total Event Audio was absolutely perfect. They exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't recommend them enough. They were flexible, understanding, and so organized throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Thank you for making our day special!

Exactly what we needed at a great price!

Joel Hodges was the DJ for our daughter's wedding, and he did an amazing job! He asked all the right questions to know exactly what we needed, and he continually checked in with us throughout the evening about timing, music, toasts, etc. He made sure we could all hear the wedding couple's vows, played the wedding music spot on, and then got the party started at the reception and kept it going. He kept the atmosphere upbeat and energetic, and everyone was comfortable and happy. The evening would not have been the same without his help, and we couldn't be more happy with his services!

Wouldn't change a thing!

Joel and Mariana were an amazing team! Their attention to detail and exceptional customer service made our night to remember even more special. We booked them for our wedding ceremony and reception and they outdid themselves! Joel was extremely detail-oriented and very friendly. Besides being the best to work with, we felt they cared about how our wedding turned out. We 100% recommend them!

Best DJ ever

Joel and his team was amazing!! They reached out to me multiple times to get to know us as a couple and what our vision was for the wedding. I was super indecisive about some things and Joel was patient and helped me work through it. I bits and pieces of Harry Potter at my wedding (huge potter head) and he even made it extra special to include some Harry Potter songs I didn’t even ask for however he knew well enough I would enjoy it and I absolutely did!! It was a great time and everyone raved about how good the Dj was.

Thank you soo sooo much!!
