Joel Sent on 03/16/2025More Than a DJ—The Life of the Party
From the start, we wanted our wedding to capture who we are, not overly serious, not bound by tradition, just a night filled with fun and unforgettable memories. We only get so much time before the inevitable, so why not make the most of it? Our goal was simple: get people dancing. DJ Waddell made that happen and then some.
Our ceremony set the tone, groomsmen walking down to For Whom the Bell Tolls before a sudden Rickroll, personalized songs for family and bridal party intros, and a first dance that transitioned into a mashup of Closer by Ne-Yo and Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis. It could have been chaotic, but Lee made it seamless. He read the room, kept the energy high, and somehow got every generation on the dance floor.
Leading up to the wedding, my fiancée (now wife) and I procrastinated hard (her more than me), but Lee had us covered. He walked us through every detail, making sure we never had to stress about what was next. A great DJ doesn’t just play music, they make sure the whole night flows. From pacing the reception to nailing the intros and keeping transitions smooth, Lee made sure we could actually be in the moment. He even learned every name on our long intro list and came up with ideas that were a massive hit (ask him about the shoe game).
And beyond all that, Lee is just good people. Easy to talk to, fun to plan with, and genuinely invested in making the night incredible. If you want a DJ who actually makes the party happen, it’s him, we even managed to get him on the dance floor. -

Lee was extremely easy to work with throughout our entire wedding process! He played the piano, as well as DJ’d during our wedding, and we have nothing but great things to say. We received many compliments from guests on Lee’s range and variety of music. He had a fun and energetic attitude, and we highly recommend Lee for anyone looking for a DJ/piano player for their wedding/event! -

Sara Sent on 09/22/2024Great Wedding DJ
Lee was the perfect DJ to make our wedding feel special. He had a lot of information to help us decide how we wanted to personalize our wedding and make it special. He went the extra mile and played live piano during our wedding ceremony & kept people on the dance floor all night from behind the DJ booth. He made our wedding extra special and we can't thank him enough. -

Jennifer Sent on 10/22/2023The Best Wedding DJ in the Capital Region!
We had Lee DJ our wedding on September 16th, and he did an OUTSTANDING job! Lee was recommended by our photographer, Paul Saunders, and we decided on him after learning that he could play keyboard live during our ceremony - which he did an amazing job of! We had a meeting at his home office a few weeks before the wedding to go over the schedule of the day and our song requests. Lee was super helpful in the planning process, and was a phenomenal MC, moving our wedding along smoothly and providing the best entertainment we could imagine! Our guests danced the night away and continue to talk about how great of a DJ he is! We would HIGHLY recommend Lee for your wedding ceremony and reception music/entertainment. -

Lizzie Sent on 01/26/2023Lee is amazing!
I really wanted Lee for our wedding but he was already booked. He actually took the time to ask some trusted DJs he knows in the area if they were available and called me back several days later to let me know one was open and gave me their contact info. Just who does that!?! He is super sweet, and clearly goes above and beyond in all he does! Wedding planning is stressful and to have someone take time out to do that just made my day!!! Thanks Lee! :) -

Samantha Sent on 01/06/2022AMAZING experience!!
DJ Lee was such an incredible guy to work with from day 1! He was responsive, helpful and easy to talk to. He truly made the planning experience easier! Although our wedding day had some rain, DJ Lee never batted an eye and still gave our guests the most amazing experience. He also was our officiant, and did an incredible job marrying us and making the day special! Highly suggest hiring DJ Lee :) -

Julia Sent on 08/19/2021So unique!
We were married August 2021 in Schenectady. I now consider Lee a good friend of mine. He was flexible rescheduling our wedding due to the pandemic. His piano skills are phenomenal. We even had a guest get up and sing during dinner while Lee played the piano which was unexpected. Lee was able to play a song for the guest to sing to. When my husband forgot the steps to the cotton eye joe Lee helped lead the dance by getting on the floor and dancing along. His MC skills made everyone smile and laugh even when I threw the bouquet and it hit the ceiling. -

Lee was amazing to work with from the very beginning. From our first meeting with him he made us feel like we were in good hands and that he would make sure our reception was the dance party we envisioned. On our wedding day he did not disappoint. Lee played songs that kept people on the dance floor for the entire evening. People were raving about how good the DJ was! Thanks again to Lee for making our wedding day such a success! -

DJ Lee was AWESOME!
Our wedding was at Hunter Mountain and he handled everything from our ceremony, to the cocktail hour, and the reception which had an active dance floor to the very end!
DJ Lee was very clear from the beginning on what we should expect, that was super important. He told us we wouldn't hear from him until about a month before, he would send us paperwork to prepare ideas of the music we wanted for the ceremony and reception. He said he would talk to us and go over everything we submitted about two weeks before, and we would then confirm everything again the day of in case we had any changes we wanted to make. That right there says just how dependable, experienced, and flexible he is.
After our phone consult we were very confident in DJ Lee. He had all of our music that we wanted and everything was lined up perfectly. The day of, our music for the ceremony was spot on, and of excellent quality! Especially for being on top of a mountain.
For the cocktail hour & reception we wanted it to be family friendly, and we listen to country (not pop country), which he accommodated and mixed in "oldies" hits, buffalo area favorites, and some early 2000's pop throw backs (super fun!). He took requests and played music that absolutely everyone enjoyed. My grandparents even stayed at our reception to the very end because they were enjoying the mix that DJ Lee was playing.
We had a full dance floor the entire night. My husband, who I have never actually gotten on a dance floor before, was out there dancing with me and our friends and family. That was something that I NEVER thought would happen. DJ Lee worked a miracle there.
He did an awesome job of spreading out all of the fun "events" during a reception. Our first dance was right when we entered for the reception, we enjoyed dinner and a little bit of dancing before the parent dances, then we enjoyed more dances and a few drinks before doing the bouquet & garter tosses. Even during our cake cutting (which was small because we had a sundae bar for our guests) he was commentating and made that so much, even instigated a little frosting fun!
His personality is awesome, he is attentive, and he is a pro at what he does. He pays attention to the details and gives your wedding the party it deserves!
We cannot thank DJ Lee enough for how awesome he was!! -

Brianna Sent on 09/07/2019DJ Lee is the best!
Lee is talented, personable and truly loves his job. Lee was a pleasure to work with from our initial meeting throughout our wedding day. He made us feel at ease through the planning process and made our vision come to life. We had Lee play piano at our ceremony and he played songs by Ed Sheeran and Jim Brickman. It was beautiful. He also played great songs at our reception and was open to any requests! DJ Lee is the best! -
