Tony was very thoughtful in his planning and collaboration with us and went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From beginning to end Tony helped put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our time! He made the entire night flow so smoothly and seamlessly. He was professional, energetic, fun, and played music that kept the dance floor packed in a crowd that doesn't even dance! His entire set up from the lighting, to the photo booth to the light-up foam sticks, made the entire atmosphere a party you'll never forget. I wish I could upload photos to this review, but be on the lookout for my other reviews for Tony! Please book Tony if you want the best! -

Tony (DJ not a panda) was a great choice as our DJ for our wedding in Celebration, Orlando. He was with us from the start of the ceremony through the end of the reception, and everything ran smoothly!
From the beginning, Tony stood out for his communication. We had several calls leading up to the wedding, and he always took the time to walk us through how wedding DJing works and what we should be thinking about. He also answered a ton of questions via email and didn't mind the back and forth at all. As a couple planning a wedding for the first time, there were a lot of small details we hadn’t considered. Tony filled in those gaps with practical advice from his experience without ever being pushy.
He has an online wedding worksheet that was especially helpful. It’s a detailed form that covers each part of the day: ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and more. We could fill it out over time as we made decisions, save our progress, and then review everything with him before the big day. That process made us feel organized, confident as we were able to track our TODOs through his website
On the wedding day, Tony arrived early, coordinated seamlessly with our planner, and handled setup without needing anything from us. He is a total professional, and clearly knows what he's doing.
The ceremony music was exactly what we wanted (music, timings and everything), and the reception was even better. Our wedding was multicultural (Indian/American) and had a wide range of ages, and Tony managed that balance really well. He played great Bollywood tracks (and already knew crowd favorites), mixed in classics for the older guests, and kept the dance floor packed with hip-hop, house, and other popular songs for the younger crowd. He rotated genres thoughtfully so everyone felt included at all times. Special shoutout to him as he gracefully handled all spontaneous song requests from us and our guests !
Overall, we’d absolutely recommend Tony. He’s super friendly, communicates really well & is very reasonably priced for the level of service he provides: honestly, for what you get, it feels like a great value. He's a solid choice and will spend time and effort in understanding your vision, we’re very grateful for his contribution in making our event such a great successDJ Not A Panda's reply:
Wow, thank you so much for the awesome review, Darshil! That's gotta be the best review anybody's ever given me, thanks for taking the time! You two were a pleasure to work with, and I'm really glad you had a great time. While I'm always happy to hear guest song requests and try my best to work them in, there were some fire requests so I had easy mode for sure. ;) God bless, thanks for putting your faith in me! -

I have been nothing short of absolutely pleased with Tony's work. My husband (then fiancé), actually came across him during a festival in Plant City. He was incredibly friendly and engaging so I reached out afterward to secure him for our wedding. He answered any and all questions I had prior to booking. Once we secured our date and services, everything else was a breeze. He provides a wedding worksheet to complete at your leisure, and it covers every little thing you could possibly think of, plus some. I felt super overwhelmed with the planning process and the provided worksheet actually helped me to structure my day and account for things I hadn't previously. He truly kept my wedding flowing without me having to worry or think about it. And honestly, he's a trooper because he provided A++ services in FRIGID weather, and was able to be more than flexible with shifts that had to be made for guest warmth. He is professional and 100% client-driven. Highly recommend. -

Stephanie Sent on 01/12/2026Excellent DJ
DJ Not A Panda did an awesome job! He kept everyone on the dance floor during our wedding. He was enthusiastic and made sure everyone had a great time! We appreciated the Wedding Worksheet- I was a type A bride so this was an excellent way to keep things organized through all the details. I would also recommend the photo booth. Thank you DJ Not A Panda!DJ Not A Panda's reply:
Thank you, Stephanie! Regarding type-A, you were honestly super easy to work with and a pleasure to talk to. :) But it's an interesting topic: in this industry lots of people talk about "bride-zilla"s and my philosophy is that this only happens when the vendor doesn't earn the bride's trust that the vendor (me) is going to take the little details as seriously as she does.
Out of the nearly 200 weddings I've done, I've had 2 or 3 brides that were a lot to handle, and I largely credit that to how robust my planning worksheet is. It covers so much that allows me to take over so that you can just ride as a passenger on your wedding, instead of feeling like you have to make things happen yourself.
I'm glad you had a great time, and God bless your marriage! :D -

Exceptionally Thorough And Easy To Work With
For our wedding, my wife and I chose Tony, and we were so delighted with the entire experience. Tony demonstrated exceptional thoroughness in preparing for our celebration, providing a very helpful and detailed worksheet that allowed us to clearly communicate our desires for the evening. I enthusiastically recommend Tony for your event; he is a genuinely kind person and incredibly easy to collaborate with. -

DJ "NotAPanda" Tony was amazing from the start. Very knowledgeable, cares & keeps you in the loop & guides you every step of the way. You feel informed & comfortable with him. His music was spot on, performed exactly as we wanted & was incredible. All the teens seemed to really like him & feel comfortable with him. Lots of extras as well with the Photo Booth props, etc. The party was a hit & we will definitely recommend him & use him in the future! Thanks again Tony!

Paul Sent on 04/10/2024Tony is a great DJ.
We hired him to MC and DJ our daughter's wedding and reception. His site was great but after direct contact with him I had zero concerns about how this was going to work. His forms to help you through your event are so thorough - you can tell that he knows his stuff.
This was all confirmed on wedding day. Tony is efficient - from arriving on time, to setting up, to performing his duties, to tearing down. His abilities are without question some of the finest. By the way - the photo booth was so worth the effort in including it in the package.
Nothing - nothing at all but good results from Tony the DJ. INCLUDING the value for the cost. Hire him. He's great.DJ Not A Panda's reply:
You're the man! Thanks so much for the review, and I'm glad y'all had fun, I like to give everybody my best! :) -

Diana Sent on 02/07/2024Fabulous DJ! You will love him!
Tony (Not a Panda) was fabulous! I needed a DJ for my nonprofit animal rescue event. Having limited funds, as being an animal rescue, Tony immediately responded to my request wanting to help me and also “pay it forward” with a possible sponsorship exchange. We worked out a deal and started the process. He even brought his Photo Booth which was a hit with all attendees. He was very professional and responsive from day one and had online forms that made the whole process very easy and thorough.
At the event itself, he was again thorough ahead of time with a walkthrough of what was needed, on point with all my needed announcements and even made suggestions, cranked out the perfect tunes for the day and was so energetic MCing that you know he loves what he does! Several people commented to me how great the DJ was which was so nice to hear. I would highly recommend him, as I know you will not be disappointed! I could not have been more pleased! -

Kayla Sent on 01/14/2024Tony was wonderful!
Tony was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was able to bring so much of value to the table, even with our tight budget. He traveled to our venue, set up several hours in advance and was able to help us pace ourselves throughout the night in the order of events we set. He also helped a lot with the planning in advance, and was just an incredible guy to work with. Very down to earth and just as excited as we were for the big day. We cannot recommend him enough!DJ Not A Panda's reply:
Thank you so much, Kayla!!! I always want to give everyone my best no matter what, I'm so glad to hear you had a great time! God bless, and I hope to hear from you again someday. :) -

Riane Sent on 10/17/2023Would definitely work with Tony again!
Tony was great to work with. He was a last-minute replacement to be an emcee/event manager at one of our events, and he was so quick to understand what exactly needed to be done. He understood our company’s vision as well as the importance of personal and corporate branding. I would definitely work with him again!
