    Amazing experience and service!

    Andy was amazing throughout the entire process leading up to the big day! His energy, attention to detail, and experience helped tremendously when it came to the planning and execution on our wedding day. He also develops great relationships with the vendors he works with, especially the routine vendors, which made the process that much more relaxing for us.

    5 ⭐️’s across the board for Andy!

    When My wife and I got married this past New Year’s Eve and we were doing all the planning on our own. So when we were looking for a DJ we needed someone that would be easy to communicate with, one that could help us with the flow of the reception if needed, and one with a great ear of music that can adapt to any request we would throw their way. Andy was definitely that DJ for us! Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. We would will continue to recommend him to anyone who’s in need of a DJ for any occasion!

    Andy was fantastic!! Do not hesitate and BOOK NOW!

    Andy was a fantastic vendor from start to finish. Our zoom calls to prepare were fun and engaging, and he offered excellent suggestions and his professional knowledge was extremely helpful. On the wedding day, he brought the energy and did a great job sticking to the songs I selected while also making sure it matched the vibe of the guests. I would 10/10 recommend Andy as a vendor, but also as a kind and fun person who will make your planning process and event go smoothly.

    Dj andy nation rocks!

    Andy was helpful, friendly, and professional. He was flexible with us when we had a family emergency and had to postpone our event. We enjoyed working with him on zoom and in person! Well worth the money we spent for his services. I highly recommend Andy to anyone for any event!

    Fantastic DJ

    Andy was great as our wedding DJ and a pleasure to work with! He was very communicative right from the beginning and had a very easy format for song selection. He not only DJ’d the music at our reception/dance floor but also set up all the audio for our ceremony, toasts, and helped progress the night along to keep us on schedule. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and oftentimes the DJ is not very engaging or interactive with their guests. Andy was quite the opposite! His friendliness and humor made it easy to work with him and he was very engaged the entire time. I also have to give him a massive thank you for being flexible and adjusting on the fly; we found out morning of the wedding that it would most likely rain mid-reception, so Andy had a backup plan to move his equipment and setup indoors in the event that it did rain. We did end up having to migrate things indoors after the ceremony but it was done so seamlessly that our guests thought it was all part of the original plan! Thank you again Andy for your excellent customer service and helping make our wedding memorable!

    Andy is absolutely PHENOMENAL, you will not be disappointed!

    TLDR: Hands down, best DJ ever, just pull the plug and book him NOW!

    We had picked Five Crowns in CDM as our venue 3 years ago. Five Crowns provided us with a list of approved DJs, so our options were fairly limited. I went down the list and emailed every single DJ. Not only did Andy promptly respond to my email inquiry ON THE SAME DAY, but I could already tell how charismatic he was from our back and forth email conversations!

    After reading up on the wedding wire reviews and speaking to brides who had him as their DJ... it was immediately clear what a great fit he would be for us! Meanwhile, another couple contacted Andy asking about the same date, so now we really had to get the ball rolling! We scheduled a quick phone call to discuss and immediately sent over our deposit.

    Unfortunately, COVID pushed our original 2020 date by another year. We finally had our long awaited wedding this past weekend and Andy did not disappoint! It was such a pleasure to have worked with him for the past 2.5 years and to see everything come together so smoothly. It was an absolute dream and Andy kept us right on schedule during the evening.

    I don't even know where to begin, Andy is the most funniest and genuine person you will ever meet. Not only does he have a passion for the entertainment industry, he sincerely wants to make sure your big day goes according to plan. Ladies and gentlemen, he does it all! He was our "DJ, Master of Ceremonies, Keeper of a smooth flow", and more importantly, became our friend throughout the entire process. We had the dance floor open for 2 hours and he kept the party going the ENTIRE time! He even got out on the dance floor and danced along with us! Andy, thank you so much for going above and beyond. You exceed all our expectations!

    Sincerely,
    #CHOMATES

    Andy is simply the best there is! He made our daughter's wedding so special with how he seamlessly coordinated the music and lead the night. He's fun, wonderful to work with, a great DJ with a great voice, friendly - a very special person! We could not have been happier having Andy host the entertainment! Thank you Andy! You made the night very special.

    Kept the dance Floor going all night

    Andy is super helpful and adaptable. We wanted both English and Spanish Music at our wedding and he was able to accommodate both and feel out the crowd for what to play! He's very professional and a wonderful person to have DJ!

    DJ Andy Nation

    We hired Andy as our DJ for our wedding, and he was the best! From day 1, he was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond. He worked with us when we had to postpone our original date due to covid. As the wedding got closer, he helped us build our timeline for the day and worked with our coordinator to make sure everything was set for the day. He also was super accommodating when we had special requests for him. On the day of the wedding, he made sure to check in with us throughout the event to let us know when things were coming up soon (father/daughter dance, cake cutting, etc). We had a wide variety of ages in attendance, and his song choices were perfect for everyone. All of our guests had so much fun with him! I’m ready to have another event, just so we can book him again!

    Best MC (and overall person) out there!

    Andy was the perfect addition to our wedding reception! He was professional, friendly, skilled, and fun. He was extremely communicative and helpful in the planning stage, and we had every confidence in him running the show on our big day. He made the whole room feel like one, big extended family with his upbeat and relational approach in getting (and keeping) the party going. He was considerate of our needs and wishes throughout, flexible with our wants, and so easy to work with. We'd work with him again in a heartbeat!

    Stop What You're Doing and Hire Andy!

    DJ Andy Nation is hands down one of the best DJs I’ve ever worked with. I attended a wedding where he DJ’d in 2012 and kept his info – that should tell you about Andy’s skills. In working with him for our wedding Andy was very kind and communicative. He was readily available to chat on the phone and was quick in his email responses. He is very well spoken, which is a must for a MC. He has great energy and made great jokes throughout the night to engage our guests. We hired Andy at the last minute to do our ceremony music as well and he showed up on his own time for our rehearsal to make sure he had everything he needed to make our ceremony perfect. The music for our reception was great – unfortunately it was a VERY hot/humid evening which was moved outdoors due to local restrictions on indoor dining so people weren’t too keen to dance a whole lot. Andy picked up on this and adjusted the music accordingly between the times people would dance and then go cool off for a while. Do not hesitate, hire Andy – he’s awesome!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Andy performed our daughters wedding on August 24th. He was so amazing. All our guests have commented on what a wonderful DJ we had. From the moment the dance floor opened it was packed and never died down the entire evening. We did not want the party to end. I will recommend Andy to anyone looking for an amazing MC and DJ for their event. Thank you Andy for blessing our day.

    The absolute best decision you could make for your wedding!

    Andy is truly the best! He is sweet, kind, and genuine. He nailed the music for our wedding and everyone absolutely loved him. People were literally hugging him at the end of the night. And they are still talking about him. You can’t go wrong with Andy! I would recommend him to everyone!

    Andy Nation is truly amazing...DJ - MC

    Andy, was the DJ - MC at my daughter's wedding reception July 2019. He made the wedding so fun, the music saw great. Andy followed the itinerary and was critical in the flow of the reception. Everyone was dancing the entire night. He was so easy to work with, professional and has high quality equipment.
    He made our daughter's wedding reception amazing. Highly recommend Andy, he is very reasonable for the amount of time and hard work he puts into the event. A++ (He has the best personality too)

    Andy is amazing. Three years later we asked for the playlist of the songs played at our wedding in 2019 and he had them and they’re truly amazing.

    Amazing DJ

    Let me start off by saying Andy is the nicest and funniest guy! He was so responsive and helpful. He went above and beyond, and I could not have asked for a better DJ. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    Best dj ever!

    When planning our wedding the thing I wanted most was an amazing DJ, and Andy was beyond amazing! He actually did my sisters wedding about 9 years ago and I remembered how much fun we had dancing and just how entertaining he was! He got everyone dancing and made us all laugh. He even got out there to show some people how to do the wobble haha I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. Thanks again Andy for everything!

    Best dj ever!

    We absolutely loved DJ Andy Nation! He is extremely responsive and accommodating, and his prices are very competitive! Before the wedding he was willing to talk with me multiple times about song selections and had a great online program where I could enter in all of our wedding details. On the wedding day, he did a really good job keeping us on track with our timeline, but making it super fun at the same time! He definitely made me feel at ease, and I never had to worry about anything with him as DJ and MC. I highly recommend that you consider DJ Andy Nation for your wedding!! He is a joy to work with!

    Andy is awesome! He is just a really nice guy and so easy to work with. From the ceremony music to the cocktail music to dinner and dancing music he made our wedding a night to remember. Besides a few key songs I left it up to Andy to choose the music and he nailed it! Guests were singing in their seats at dinner and he had everyone on the dance floor afterwards. In addition to the music Andy guided the events and timeline of the night. Everything went perfect. We truly lucked out when we chose to have Andy DJ our wedding!!

    If you’re looking for a DJ, Andy Nation is the guy. If you’re looking for an MC, Andy Nation is the guy. If you need lighting, Andy Nation is the guy. If you need all of that, he is the best! He is the total package that I could not have asked more from on our wedding day! He is as fun and easy to work with as he is diligent and precise with his music. His talent is not only at the DJ booth, but as an MC and Lighting Extraordinaire as well. He got the crowd hyped up to dance and made every moment leading up to that, such as calling people to eat by table number and introducing the first dance, exciting with his energy and enthusiasm. We had an outdoor wedding so he provided stellar illumination for the wedding cake area and highlighted the tree which was the hallmark of our venue. If you’re thinking about booking him, think no further. He is the real deal and I would tell anyone else looking for DJ/MC/Lighting/the same thing! Thank you again Andy!

    Andy was the BEST DJ we could've ever asked for. He spent the time to get to know us and understanding what kind of music we were going for. He had enthusiasm not only for the job, but for the wedding as well. He even checked up on me for things not even regarding the wedding! He sincerely cares for you and will go the extra mile to provide the experience you are looking for at your wedding. Thanks again Andy, you were the best! Love Johnny and Ashley!

    Andy was referred to us by our wedding planner and, I could not have been happier with every interaction we had with him. He is very professional and knows exactly what he's doing! He has an easy going personality that puts you at ease. At the wedding he kept the party moving along and helped to choose just the right music for our event! He is the best!
