    The perfect DJ for our wedding celebration!

    Stephen was so great! He put together the perfect wedding playlist for us that was exactly what we wanted to get everyone dancing. The dance floor was hopping the whole evening!! He was also very communicative with us throughout the whole process and very easy to work with. Just overall such a positive experience. We would highly recommend him if you're looking for a DJ! :)

    He was great!

    DJ Stephen was so great! From our first phone call, all the way through the process, he made us feel at ease. He took care of everything so we didn't have to worry about it, but he also let us have as much of a say in everything as we wanted. We also liked that it was just him and not a whole big company, so we knew who we were getting and didn't have to wait around for responses like we have with some of our other vendors.
    And we loved that he took requests from our guests! We would definitely recommend DJ Stephen

    Awesome DJ

    We recently hired DJ Stephen for our wedding reception and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. He was a true professional and made sure that the music was always on point.

    DJ Stephen was always very responsive and easy to communicate with. He took the time to understand our music preferences and played a mix of songs that kept everyone partying on the dance floor. He also had a little notepad for people to make requests.

    He arrived early to set up his equipment and was ready to go before any guests arrived. He kept the energy level high throughout the night. He was also very flexible when it came to making announcements, especially when we had some last minute changes.
    Super recommend for a queer friendly, cool, and professional dj!

    So much fun!

    Stephen made our wedding so much fun!
    We loved his vibe just from his page, but after our consultation call we were sold. He was communicative throughout the process and made sure we felt ready going into the day. It was so nice to not have to worry about any of it. He came early to set up and was so professional. He handled our cocktail hour music, announcements, mics for speeches, and got everyone dancing right away after dinner! We loved his selection of music and that he took requests from all our guests! His wife was there to assist, and they were both dancing behind their booth the whole time, and it was awesome to see them having so much fun too. You can tell he really enjoys what he does.
    We would definitely recommend him to anyone!

    DJ Stephen was a perfect fit

    DJ Stephen was fantastic! He did both ceremony and reception music for our wedding, and was super friendly and easy to talk to. We had a small wedding and I initially wasn’t sure if we needed a DJ or could get by with spotify, but I’m so glad we made the decision to hire a DJ, Stephen specifically. I also didn’t have a clear vision of music needs, so I was grateful for Stephen’s insight - he helped us figure out what music and transitions would work best for our size and setting when we were being indecisive. He was easy going and flexible, accommodating a very last minute change to our playlist. Also quite impressed with his ability to read the room and get people on the floor, even with our wedding being as small as it was! Overall, the vibe ended up being exactly what I wanted thanks to Stephen. Highly recommend - thanks so much!

    He was the best!

    DJ Stephen was awesome! He was super fast with all his responses to our questions, and he made us feel so at ease about the whole thing. He was very professional and had everything set up and ready so we didn’t have to worry about it at all. I loved his song choices, and that he let us add in all our must haves. We got lots of compliments from our guests about him, and we would definitely hire him again if we ever host another big event.

    Best dance party ever!

    DJ Stephen was such a pleasure to work with! His music selection was amazing, and he included every single one of our requests. The lighting really added to the party vibe of our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night long!

    We love DJ Stephen

    We are so glad we picked DJ Stephen for our wedding! Peter was incredible to work with from start to finish. He gave us great ideas for our songs and worked with us extensively on the format of our wedding in a very short period of time. He's also an awesome emcee, funny and warm and just the perfect person to conduct the flow of the reception. We got so many comments from friends and family that we had picked the perfect DJ, and I could not agree more!

    Great, professional DJ

    Stephen was great! We got married in October 2019. He listened to our preferences before the big day and was very communicative about his process. On our wedding day he was extremely professional, fun, engaged with the family, and was an overall joy. And he played ALL of our requests!
