They rocked this bar mitzvah!

We hired Shawn and MC Manny for my son's bar mitzvah. They were incredible! They had all the kids dancing from the start. They know exactly what they're doing. The music was fantastic, they were sensitive and responsive to the room, and it was just the best party. Many people came up to us and commented on how great they were--the photographer, who mostly works weddings, said they were one of the best DJ/MC teams she's encountered. We will recommend them everywhere!

Shawn was great!

Shawn did a fantastic job at our annual Benefit & Auction. He had the crowd dancing all night, and was kind enough to play an encore song after his set when the crowd was chanting "one more song!" We will definitely be using Shawn again.

Best DJ hands down!

Professional, punctual, versatile, current the adjective can go on for ever. The best DJ I have ever heard. My wedding was diverse and he had everyone saying that this was the wedding of the year.
Hire him!

Great music and communication!

Shawn was wonderful! Responsive to emails and calls before the wedding, Shawn also found excellent west African music to play (my wife’s family is Cameroonian and we needed makosa!).
Definitely would recommend! Thanks Shawn!!

Knows how to keep people dancing!

Shawn and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with! Not only were they easy to communicate with ahead of the event but they were prompt for set up, sound check and of course the evening festivities. Shawn kept the crowd excited, engaged and constantly on their feet, what more could you ask for from a DJ!

Music is a huge component of any successful celebration. We choose Universal MCs & DJs for my 60th Birthday Celebration. Since there were guests of different ages, different cultures and different stages of their lives, the DJ selection was even more important. Shawn and Kelvin amazed my husband and me with their personal touch for our preferences - they dazzled our guests with a mixture of Latin, R & B and Caribbean music. Everyone had a Fantastic Time!

I've had the pleasure of working with Shawn on several occasions. When it came to my nuptials there was no question who I wanted to handle my music. They were AWESOME! The dance floor was packed during dance music and dinner time music was on point. Shawn you are the best!!!

My Fiancé and I met with Kelvin and Shawn and we were sold at first meet! The professionalism and customer service was amazing! We met with them just over a month before our wedding (8.25.16) in that meeting we talked about budget, likes, dislikes. They completely understood the vision we had for our wedding ceremony and reception. On the day of they showed up early and ready to get the party started! Our MC Manny was hilarious and truly a master and what he does. Included in our package was the Photo Booth which was a major hit !! I could literally go on and on about how great our day was thanks to these guys!! They will be our DJs for life, more like family now!!

Shawn is always professional, responsible and flexible. I've worked with Shawn since 2009 when we hired him for our first prom and he's been our Prom DJ ever since. GREAT JOB!!
