    1000000/10

    John and his team were the highlight of our wedding this past April.
    He did an absolute amazing job of keeping our wedding flowing smoothly, timely, and adding his own personalized style of making our wedding so special. He was extremely present and professional during the entire planning process. He was open to any ideas and had many suggestions on how to make our wedding memorable.
    Overall, would hire again in a heart beat!

    Thank you so much to John and his awesome team!

    More than a DJ!!

    John is absolutely amazing and goes above and beyond what you would consider for a DJ. He stayed in contact with us throughout the entire year of planning and walked through our day of timeline step by step providing insight and advice on song choice & events. John also created a special mix for me and my dad which was so special. I loved my wedding day and music is key throughout it all! If you are looking for a DJ that pays attention to detail, DJ by CJ is it! You are guaranteed to have a wonderful night and experience. Thank you so much John for making our day so special!

    DJ by CJ's reply:

    Wow.. thank you Krista and Joe for giving me the honor to be a part of your big day! We had a blast and your father/daughter dance was awesome! I wish you both all the true love and happiness together forever ❤️ 💗

    Best Night Of Our Lives

    John and his team played a huge part in making our night so special. We didn't have the chance to meet him in person before the wedding with us living thousands of miles away, but he made the accommodations to meet over video. He went over every detail with us on the song selection and flow of the wedding, easing both me and my wife's nerves. He created so many special memories for us the day of the wedding with special dances that really sent us into our marriage feeling like rock stars! I would highly recommend the team DJ by CJ for anyone looking to get married around the St. Petersburg area.

    Above and Beyond!

    John with DJ by CJ was a part of our amazing team that made our wedding everything we could have ever wanted! Johns attention to detail and amazing skill set made the night one to remember. We booked our venue and DJ by CJ was already a vendor with the location so we didn't choose them on our own but I am SO THANKFUL we had them because I could not have asked for better. John and his team made everything run so smoothly and never allowed for down time or quiet. All of our friends and family raved about how amazing he was! If you are unsure of a DJ, you found the company for you!

    DJ by CJ's reply:

    Mackenzie and Cody,
    I can't thank you both enough for this amazing testimonial! You both are the sweetest couple. I wish you both all the true love and happiness together forever 💗 Your DJ, John

    Incredibly talented

    We cannot thank DJ by CJ enough! We were recommended to him by a family friend and are beyond grateful for him and his services! He is an incredibly talented individual and truly knows how to read a crowd and get the party going! While wedding planning can be stressful, he offered great ideas to help make the process much easier and enjoyable. He is personable and bubbly and treated us like we were family. Highly recommend to anyone needing DJ services for their big event!

    Fantastic DJ

    John was absolutely fantastic. We had some trouble picking out some of the music and John did a fantastic job of helping us out with recommendations and suggestions. Everything was perfect. Our families and friends kept the dance floor packed and they didn’t want to leave at the end they were all having such a wonderful time. Our families keep talking about how it was one of the best weddings they have been to. He definitely exceeded our expectations.

    Outstanding!

    Our DJ was absolutely outstanding. We were given a sheet that allowed us to pick WAY more songs than we cared to pick. After talking with our DJ he ensured us that we did NOT have to choose a song for each entry we were emailed about, so we picked what was important to us, (Bridal march, first dance, etc), and he did the rest. On the day of, the music kept the party going, and our DJ did an EXCELLENT job of moving things along while keeping it fun and relaxed. HIGHLY recommend these guys.

    Easiest decision EVER!

    DJ BY CJ is hands-down the BEST DJ service you could use for your wedding! IF I COULD GIVE HIM 10 STARS, I WOULD. 5 stars doesn’t do them justice. Leading up to the big day, John communicated with us frequently. He sent a very detailed questionnaire and accommodated all our timeline requests. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, to dinner, and then to the dance portion of the night, the music was perfect. We got countless compliments from all our guests on the variety, popularity, and seamless transition of music. John and his nephew were one of the best parts of our wedding day. He's incredibly easy to work with and was the single reason why our reception was SO MUCH FUN! Look no further for your wedding DJ... The competition isn't even close.

    Exceptional

    I just wanted to extend my gratitude to Darby for his professionalism and great personality. Additionally, your ability to go with the flow when my mom decided to go rogue. :-) The wedding was an extreme success in our eyes and I just wanted to send a quick note thanking you both. Planning a destination wedding is difficult, but I knew finding a DJ didn't have to be.

    If you are considering a DJ for your wedding, look no further!

    Thank you Darby so much!

    The best dj there is

    John was nothing short of an amazing dj and exceeded our expectations as a dj. He helped us drastically with suggestions and recommendations to awe our guests and to add an extra special touch to our wedding. He also took some pictures of our night as this wasn’t asked. He is very friendly and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a dj, don’t hesitate!

    Wedding by DJ by CJ

    Thank you so much DJ by CJ for the excellent service you provided! John and his team definitely killed the night of our wedding and had everyone involved and on the dance floor the entire time! Since our wedding day, we have been told so many times how much fun the night was and it wouldn’t have been the same without DJ by CJ! John definitely understands how crazy wedding planning can be and helped plan out the entire night while we focused on the smaller details. He knew songs right off the top of his head that described our relationship perfectly and that made the night even more special by having that piece. We want to thank you John for the outstanding performance and we could not be happier with your service! We will definitely be recommending you to all of our family and friends in the future for any event! Choose DJ by CJ!

    Best DJ Service!

    I want to start this reviwe by saying thre is no one better than these guys. We are extremly gratful and happy taht we used DJ by CJ for our wedding In December 2021. We really had to shop around for a DJ, but we are now certain we made the best choice. If you are in doubt just call the owner of the company John. Our initial phone conversation with him was about an hour long and he listened well and made sure he answers all questions we had. he gave us great suggestions and assigned us the best DJ-DJ Nick and his assistant. Nick was very professional and not only provided a great format to fill in for songs but was helpful with suggestions and influence based on his vast experience. He truly was a crucial part in the flow of the wedding and always brought great energy in everything he did and we are very grateful. They work with us for our special request and not only made that happend but went beyond and results were even better. We really appreciate again all the work that was done by the company and especially Nick.

    DJ by CJ's reply:

    Thank you so much for the testimonial and giving Nick the honor to be a part of your big day! Your DJ Nick had an awesome time rocking your night! ❤️❤️

    Great DJ for Our Wedding!

    We used DJ by CJ at The Florida Aquarium as they are a preferred vendor. They were great to work with, meeting with us and our officiant via Zoom (we are from out of town) beforehand to go over the playlists and the ceremony. DJ Darby followed through on what we wanted in terms of songs, and even recommended songs. I needed a hymn for my ceremony and DJ Darby gave me something I really wanted. I also love U2 and noticed he played U2 when everyone was sitting down and eating during the reception. He got everyone on the dance floor and even took requests. He greatly assisted with the planning of the reception as to what events happen when. I couldn't ask for a better wedding, and I am so glad I hired DJ by CJ.

    Hi Emily,
