    Recap and review

    What a whirlwind of a weekend! I SO believe the power of music. Good tunes and the right vibe crushed all stressors, family drama, and enhanced the night. Making it memorable to last forever. Justin's work is, by far, not only just music, but the MC-ing and the orchestration of the night was so impressive. We absolutely could not have done it without him!! Especially with our tight timeline and beating the clock before 10 PM hit. Justin left us all wanting to dance and stay for so much longer!! Yet at the same time, we definitely got in everything that we needed. To our 1-1 dances , to the speeches and the sound of the microphone during the ceremony, we actually could not have pulled this off without him!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 I can't wait to see the dancing pictures and the reception pictures / videos to relive all of the love that was created!

    The best dj ever!

    Justin was absolutely incredible to have as our DJ for our wedding! We met with Justin a few times prior to the big day and made it known we wanted a specific type of playlist and we wanted our guests to be dancing the entire night.....and did he deliver!!! I might be biased, but it was definitely one of the most fun dance floors I've seen at a wedding.

    We've had so many guests tell us the playlist was amazing and had the best night ever thanks to Justin!

    Fantastic DJ, Great Professionalism, Well Organized

    DJ Kanoya was an excellent DJ for our wedding! We had a mixture of cultures and music tastes and he blended everything together so well! The party vibe was kept up the entire night and he followed the plan we had for the reception. My wife and I are so happy with our decision to have DJ Kanoya for our wedding!

    Everything We Hoped For And More!

    DJ Kanoya was such a highlight to our wedding day. He was very communicative leading up to the wedding and did an amazing job keeping people on the dance floor. Countless guests came up to us after our wedding complimenting DJ Kanoya. He helped make our wedding so special and an incredibly memorable event for our friends and family.

    Best dj ever!

    THE BEST DJ EVER!!! My husband and I hired Justin for our NYE wedding and he was amazing! He had the perfect setup for his DJ booth too. We wanted to stream the ball drop at midnight, and Justin was able to stream the ball drop for our us using his fancy LED screens. He also had all the lights to make the dance floor pop and get the party going. All our guests were raving about how great Justin was for weeks following our wedding (and still are!). On top of all that, Justin was extremely great to work with. You will not be disappointed if you hire DJ Kanoya Productions for your wedding.

    Excellent DJ

    We are so happy that we chose DJ Kanoya for our wedding reception. His song selections were perfect. We danced all night and we got so many compliments from our guests! He was very professional and easy to work with. He is very experienced and had high quality equipment. He listened closely to our special requests and was good at reading the crowd. We wanted a MC that kept the announcements minimal and he was respectful of that. We would highly recommend him for any wedding or event.

    Fun, Special Wedding

    We are huge fans of Justin - we clicked from the moment we first talked to him and we're so glad we chose him for our wedding! He listened to our ideas and vision, while also making great recommendations and providing solid advice. Case in point: Our officiant had an idea for our recessional music that he wanted to surprise us with. Minutes before the ceremony, he mentioned it to Justin, who gently said to him, "Let me tell you why I don't think that's a great idea." Our officiant was completely convinced, not offended, and we didn't hear a word of it until after the big day. Everyone had a blast dancing all night at our wedding. Thank you Justin!

    Justin set the tone for our reception with his awesome playlist and MC presence. He is so professional, helpful and responded quickly to all our emails. He goes through the entire process step by step and made it super easy for us. We received multiple compliments from our guests after the wedding.

    Justin was referred to me through a friend for my December wedding. He was exceptional! He drove to my venue to meet with me and my wedding planner ahead of the wedding and made such great recommendations for uplighting which really was the ultimate gamechanger! He also took my first dance song and suggested a slower, indie version, which literally stole the show. He was so knowledgeable and professional. I cannot recommend him enough! The song list was a huge hit! Everyone was dancing! He definitely made the night memorable for me and my guests!

    Justin was our DJ for our wedding in June and he was absolutely incredible! Justin is very professional, friendly and does a great job on the mic, but doesn't overtake the show! He honestly threw the best dance party that all of our friends and family are still talking about! He coordinated with our live musician for our ceremony and cocktail hour as well as set-up a slide show for us. We would highly recommend Justin for your wedding or any event you need a DJ for! http://cloveandkin.com/blog/tag/kristen-patrick/

    DJ Justin hosted our Father-Daughter dance and was amazing! He played tunes that appealed to both young girls as well as dads, and the dance floor was packed all night! I received several positive reports from fathers who said this was our best dance yet. An even sweeter touch to the night, Justin brought his 9 year old daughter to help him assist. She was adorable. I would definitely recommend DJ Kanoya and will be using him again and again!

    Thank you so much for a wonderful job at my husband's birthday party. Everyone had a fantastic time and your organization and delivery were top notch. My intense father even complimented you the following day. He is a tough critic so you did a fabulous job! Congratulations to you! I appreciate everything you did to make my husband's birthday party his best ever as he stated.

    Justin is a great DJ and Master of Ceremonies! I've had the pleasure of experiencing 4 weddings he has "performed" for (three for friends and my own wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado in October 2015).

    I used his services for the following:
    -Music (Played the varieties and genres of music we requested which everyone enjoyed!)
    -MC (He was really able to personalize the program and keep everyone's energy up)
    -Lights (Dance floor and red uplights)
    -Gobo & Pinspot Lighting (Backdrop and for cake)
    -Draping (For sweetheart table)
    -Slow Motion Booth (So much fun!)

    Justin met with us prior to the wedding to get a feel for our tastes, the timeline of events, and our expectations. He kept in touch through the process which allowed us to not be afraid of leaving things up to him.. which of course was a success!

    One thing I definitely noticed during the receptions is that he is very tactful and successful at getting everyone's attention during important aspects of the program. Justin can read the party very well.. he kept the dance floors full.. can tell when a group is feeling like old school 90s hip hop or salsa.. he's even started a Soul Train.. he's not afraid to enjoy the night and make it fun for everyone! Definitely knows what he's doing and he is valuable!

    We hired dj kanoya for a slow motion video booth! It was such a hit! It is very similar to a photo booth except it's a slow motion video! We got married August 15th and people are still raving about how much fun they had!! We got the video clip back about 2 weeks after the wedding and it's hilarious! It's so much fun to watch and relive the memories from our wedding of all our guests in the booth. Highly recommend checking out the slow motion video so much more fun and creative than a traditional photobooth!!

    Justin is amazing! We booked him last minute, as we didn't think we needed a DJ, and in just an hour spent with him, I could tell he was going to be so much more than just music! He has an awesome ability to tie music in with the mood, and is an overall great guy! Genuinely cares about clients and their vision of their own wedding, and works alongside to perfect that vision!

    Justin Kanoya was an amazing DJ! He was extremely professional and very easy to work with. He really was integral to our event keeping with the timing of all of the different aspects of our wedding reception. At our wedding, dancing was definitely the highlight, in large part to Justin's amazing DJ skills! Thanks so much, Justin!

    DJ Kanoya was friendly, professional, and flexible to our schedule. Our unconventional wedding included multiple live music acts, and DJ Kanoya was incredibly helpful in working with us to make sure the equipment and timing were in place.

    He also was a wonderful MC throughout the night - he worked with us to make a schedule for the night so that he knew what was going on and when. Of course, we altered that schedule and DJ Kanoya rolled along with it.

    And the music was awesome. We didn't give much guidance as to what we wanted, but he got our guests excited and kept them on the dance floor all night.

    DJ Kanoya was really great and I would strongly recommend him.

    This DJ kept the dance floor moving! He played current music that was perfect for the diverse group we had. He was very professional and he brought everything needed. His setup and take down was quick. I would highly recommend him for any venue. We had such a great night and he was a big part of it.

    Justin recently deejayed a family dance event at our school, and he was amazing! He chose just the right mix of songs to get both kids and parents up and dancing. Everyone had a really great time. From start to finish, Justin was professional and responsive. Working with him was so easy and completely stress-free, which is just what you want when you are planning an event. Highly recommend.
