    Awesome DJ !!

    Steven was fantastic! Our guests had an incredible time, and I was SO sad when the party had to come to an end. He was wonderful to work with and the online portal made it easy to customize our song requests. During the reception, he was so flexible with speeches, first dances, and doing a photo frenzy with our photographer. We loved having the uplights, too. We are so thankful we had Steven to keep our party dancing all night!

    Party Was Hoppin!

    Steven put together a playlist that matched what we wanted. Not joking, there was a moment during the wedding when 95% of the wedding was on the floor. He killed it.

    Excellent all around!

    Johnny was amazing to work with and was so understanding when we had to change our date 3 times due to COVID. Steven was our DJ and him and his assistant were great! Couldn’t be happier with their service.

    DJ service and photobooth

    At this current point I have been creating our perfect play list for our special day with this company, they have a very user friendly website where you can choose all your songs, a do not play list, a play list during dinner/cocktails, a play list for dancing and even an additional section for songs they do not have. They have separate sections to plan out your ceremony and reception music in such an easy matter. Also the DJ that I have been working with has been fantastic and easy to get a hold of and is very responsive. I am also so excited that this company does a photobooth as well. All weddings I have gone to with photobooths are always so much fun and a great way to look back at the night.

    Hire Johnny!

    Johnny did an excellent job, very flexible and was very open to last minute changes at the reception. My photographer/videographer even asked me where I found him bec they said they have been working for more than 30 years and he is the best thus far based on their experience, they even asked his info! That's how good he is! Everybody had fun and was up dancing all night! My husband and I could not even sit for a minute or 2 bec everyone is having a great time and music/DJ plays an important role on how your night goes. I highly recommend him if you want to have a fun night!

    Awesome DJ!

    Everything DJ related was a breeze! DJ Steven was great, super flexible and had my guests dancing all night. We met and chatted about what we wanted and what songs we had to pick to send to him before the wedding. We also had the photobooth which was so much fun for ALL our guests, young and old. We even realized at the last minute we didn't have uplighting and Steven was on it and said no problem! All our guests had a blast at our wedding and all music genres/requests were accommodated! Would definitely recommend DJ Steven for your wedding, if you want to have one less vendor to worry about!

    Amazing and very professional!

    From the beginning DJ Johnny was very quick to respond to my questions and easy to work with. Even though our wedding was postponed from March 21,2020 to October 23, 2020 due to Covid, he made the switch very easily. The online portal was so easy to use as my fiancé and I picked many of our songs! Although our guest list was cut in half, everyone had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend DJ Johnny to anyone as he made the night run smoothly! Thank you so much for the best night ever!! 😊

    Best Music We Could Ask For!

    Johnny was amazing for our wedding! The online portal allowed us to choose a lot of our own music which we really appreciated. For the reception music that Johnny picked himself, everyone loved it. We've had several guests say it was the best wedding music they ever experienced. Couldn't recommend them more!

    Amazing and perfect experience!

    My new husband and I hired Steven to DJ our wedding- and it was the best choice we could have made!
    Steven was professional, helpful, and so fun to work with!
    The amount of compliments we received on the music was mind blowing! Steven really knew how to read and work the room.

    Steven helped us have the most perfect wedding ever. I will be recommending them to anyone and everyone!
    Thank you soo much Steven! ☺️

    Had a Blast!

    I was worried our dj might leave people sitting in their seats but that was not the case! Our DJ kept everyone on the dance floor and having a good time. He also listened to what we said our style was and played the perfect songs and just the right time of the reception.

    So i was super picky about my music for my wedding on 8/8/2020. I did not want ANY old people music and my wish was granted. johnny was my DJ and he was super kind and professional with helping me with the song lists. The online portal is awesome! I was happy with everything that turned out! We also had photobooth and the gentleman who helped was absolutely awesome and fun! I was extremely satisfied with the music and the entertainment, especially for the price!! I am thankful for Johnny and this company

    Dependable Wedding DJs were great

    My wife and I hired Steven from Dependable Wedding DJs to be our DJ and he did a terrific job. Leading up to the event, he was very easy to work with, responding quickly to either a text or phone call. He is warm and friendly and most importantly, did a great job as the DJ/MC. People danced the night away, and many of our guests commented to us on how great the music was. Would definitely recommend!

    Thank you Steven!

    Steven did a great job as the DJ of our wedding. He was very professional, affordable, and accommodating to our questions. Did an awesome job working with us on song selections and had some great ideas that helped the night run smoother and got the guests involved early on. My wife and I are very happy with how everything turned out!

    Made everything run smoothly!

    Johnny was nice and easy to work with. Our ceremony setup location was not ideal, but he worked with it and nailed the musical transitions. He also provided the announcements that were needed to direct our guests and kept the dance floor going, too! Several guests commented that we had a great DJ, and we agree!

    Danced all night!

    I was recommended Dependable DJs by my now sister-in-law, and she was so right!
    Johnny did a great job, helped us move the night along from speeches, cake and tosses; it was so perfect. He kept everyone on the dance floor and we asked him for a few special announcements and he had no problem making them for us. He was super flexible and accommodating to us and managed to keep the party going all night!
    I highly would recommend him!!

    Hire Steven from Dependable Wedding DJs

    Steven was an amazing, professional and attentive DJ. He really made my husband and I be the ones to make the decisions at our wedding - and for those just in the planning stages, you know how important that feeling is!

    The planning was a breeze, but perhaps best of all was the flexibility and responsiveness on the day of our wedding. The bridal party was late to the reception (our fault, lots of fun on the party bus), and Steven cautioned against doing a DJ-coordinated event we planned due to time constraints. The only people who knew this was skipped were me, my husband and Steven. Everything went so seamlessly.

    I had guests who wanted to perform a surprise song as their wedding gift to use. Steven cleared this with my Maid of Honor before moving forward on it so it could remain a surprise but one my husband and I would be happy with.

    And at our request, Steven filtered song requests based on the music we said we did and did not want to hear at the wedding. And if your OK with playing whatever your guests want - he'll do that too! I just appreciated having him make decisions based on numerous conversations we had prior to the wedding.

    In the father of the bride speech, my dad had Steven walk around the reception hall with a blown up picture he made that related to his story. Steven glady walked from table to table with this picture while my dad continued to speak. This was not something my dad arranged before the day of the wedding, which demonstrates Steven's ability to adjust his plans on a moment's notice.

    And speaking of quick thinking, Steven broke out the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Hotdog Dance song as I ate my late-night snack of hotdogs on the dance floor. It was hilarious. He did this because he listened to all the speeches talk about how much I love hotdogs. He pays attention and makes the night amazing based on YOUR style.

    And finally, we had a blast hanging out with him after the reception, eating hotdogs and talking about how great the night was. It was an amazing day, and Steven played a major role in making it everything we wanted.

    Cannot recommend more highly! Johnny is the best!

    Absolutely one of my best vendors! First they are very affordable! And you might be worried, "you get what you pay for" but this is definitely not the case with Dependable Wedding DJs! They were a great price and provided amazing service both leading up to and on our wedding day. I cannot recommend Johnny enough. He was so fun to work with from our first meeting and made our reception an absolute blast. The dance floor was full all night!

    Amazing DJ

    I had guest that didn’t want to get off the dance floor all night. Very on top of our details and plays great music. He was able to read a room to play music that people enjoyed and made sure to play all the songs we requested.

    Amazing job!

    We hired Dependable Wedding DJs and were very impressed. Johnny was the one who met with us and DJ'ed our wedding, and he was great - super responsive, incredibly helpful, and very fun. Outside of a few must-plays, neither my husband nor I were very picky about the music for the reception, but Johnny had no problem getting everyone on the dancefloor and having a good time. Quality service at an unbeatable price. We highly recommend them!

    Highlight of the Reception

    My husband and I didn't have a huge budget for our DJ because we didn't have a lot of people we believed would dance at our wedding. We originally checked out Dependable DJ because it was within our price range and it had good reviews, that was it. However, Steven came and was able to get everyone on the dance floor at some point. He had such a wide variety of music, even including music from my husband's home of Trinidad and Tobago. I had so many people asking me about the DJ and telling me how great he was. Not only that, he also was great at communicating and allowed us to do most of our planning with him online since we didn't always have cell phone reception (like I said, my husband is international). Steven went above and beyond and I'd recommend him as the best DJ at any wedding I've been too!

    We just got married 2 weeks ago and I am still getting compliments on Johnny!! He truly was an amazing DJ. As soon as the dance floor was open to everyone for dancing, we had a huge group of people dancing all night until the last song! It was an amazing night! If you need a DJ Johnny is amazing! He answered any questions I had we did a final run through of the night right before the wedding. He has an easy to use online form to fill out for songs. And it's reasonably priced. Not only did we like him, but so did our guests! Great DJ!

    My family cannot say enough great things about Dependable Wedding DJs service. We hired Johnny P. To play at our Daughter’s Wedding and he was outstanding! He delivered everything we discussed... from lighting, setting up and showing a video, his fantastic deep voice introductions and of course the fantastic music system! He helped make our daughter’s wedding a huge success! We can’t wait for another event so we can hire him again!
