    Look No Further- DJ Underdog Was Awesome!

    Look no further, DJ Underdog absolutely killed it at our wedding! He was a phenomenal dj but also a thorough and organized emcee for the entire wedding. He kept everyone right on schedule so that we could get through all of our dances and speeches in a timely manner to leave plenty of time for the dance floor. He also took the time to discuss our plans over zoom prior to the wedding to make us feel comfortable with the timeline and activities. He even made a personalized mash up for our walk out songs that was greatly appreciated. He goes above and beyond and multiple people at the wedding came up to us complimenting our dj. 

    Highly rated from our experience!

    The Best DJ 10/10

    Joe aka DJ Underdog was so kind, professional, and organized throughout the entire wedding planning process. We would recommend him to anyone getting married or having an event! He was a fantastic DJ and had the dance floor packed all night. Our guests have been raving about how good the music was. We are so lucky that he was available to DJ our wedding. 10/10 DJ!

    DJ Underdog is the BEST!

    DJ Underdog (Joe) was the DJ for my sister’s wedding 3 years ago. We had such an amazing time that I knew I had to hire him if I got married! Joe DJ’d our wedding on July 9, 2022 and made our reception so much fun! Prior to the wedding, Joe took the time to go over all of the reception logistics with me (pronunciation of names, order of events, song choices, etc.) to make sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly. He also took the time to curate a reception playlist based on the songs and genres of music that my husband and I like! At the reception, Joe made sure that everything ran smoothly so that we did not need to worry about anything. We had so much fun at the reception and so did our guests! We have gotten so many compliments about the music. Everyone was having fun and dancing which made us so happy! Joe is so talented and such a great person. If you are lucky enough to work with DJ Underdog, you and your guests will have the best time ever! I cannot recommend Joe enough and he will always be my go-to DJ for future events!

    5 star from beginning to end!

    Joe aka DJ Underdog was an absolute dream of a DJ to work with. From our initial consultation call he was very attentive, professional and accommodating. We immediately felt confidence in his skill as he made every attempt to get to know us, our musical tastes and type of wedding. With our first call and rave reviews from family/friends, we knew we wanted to book him! He is extremely responsive and patient and will craft the perfect playlist and flow of events for your special day. He was very quick on his feet when our generator cut out and helped made the most seamless flow. He kept the dance floor busy all night, not a single song made people sit down. He truly made our night unforgettable and I cannot emphasize how personable, attentive and accommodating he was. He made us feel SO comfortable and confident that we were going to have the best night of our life. and we sure did! Highly recommend Joe aka DJ Underdog for your event!

    A great DJ!

    Joe was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He played the songs we wanted, but also read the crowd of dancers really well and kept people out on the dance floor which was important to me. I also LOVED how he didn't play the whole song; he really acted as a true DJ and got right into the next song to keep people interested.
    Through all of COVID we had to just skype instead of meeting in person and it actually worked out well. Then throughout the night of the wedding, he stayed in contact with my husband and I to keep us aware of when we would do certain dances like the father-daughter. All ran very smoothly, and I would recommend him to any bride who wants her guests to have a good time on the dance floor.

    Amazing Experience!

    DJ Underdog came recommended to us by a mutual friend and he did not disappoint! We knew from our first conversation that he was the perfect fit to DJ our wedding. He was personable, knowledgeable, and professional. When the pandemic hit, DJ Underdog was supportive, patient, and accommodating as our original wedding plans changed. All we wanted for our wedding was a packed dance floor and that's what we go! Our friends are still talking about how great the music was at our reception! We highly recommend!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Joe was awesome to work with! We had so much fun with the planning process. He knew exactly what to ask and how to make it go so smoothly. The music was perfect! So many compliments from the guest! I can't recommend enough!!!

    DJ Underdog's reply:

    You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for the kind words. It was an honor to be a part of it. Have a great holiday!

    Look no further, you've found your DJ!

    Of all our wedding vendors, we spent the most time looking for a DJ,and cannot recommend DJ Underdog enough! We knew he was going to be our DJ after our first meeting. Planning and communication was super easy, he was so fun to work with, had some great recommendations, and most importantly, took our selections (and do-not-play list) seriously. Although our venue was on one property, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were in three different buildings, and Joe never missed a beat. I am so thankful he helped keep us organized and everything moving smoothly. Joe was an amazing MC, and most importantly, he kept the party going! The dance floor was full all night, he really was able to read a room and make the party! Months later, our family and friends still talk about how much fun our reception was, Thanks Joe!

    Great DJ in the Pittsburgh area

    DJ Underdog was our DJ for our Pittsburgh wedding reception. He was easy to plan with and took a lot of time to make sure he got all the names right in the wedding party. He also played all the songs we wanted and some other great ones of his own. He mixed all the songs together really well. He was really nice in person, too. Would highly recommend!

    Amazing DJ and MC

    Joe aka DJ Underdog was one of the first vendors I contacted after we got engaged. I saw him DJ at a friend’s wedding and based on the awesome time we had, we knew we had to hire him for ours - we are so glad we did because he absolutely killed it. Joe played the perfect mix of music and did an awesome job of MC’ing the evening. He kept the whole night running smoothly, seamlessly transitioned from cocktail hour to bridal party introductions (nailed every one of my family’s very Italian names!) to dinner to speeches to dancing, and was never ever “corny” (let’s be honest, we have all seen some corny DJs at weddings). We spoke several times prior to our wedding to go over everything - he is very professional, organized, and made sure everything was covered. Planning the timeline of the night and music selections with Joe was a fun and totally stress free process. He played everything we wanted to hear and kept the party going all night long. We received so many compliments from our guests on the music and our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night. Over and above his abilities as a DJ, Joe is just a super cool guy. We had such a fun night with him. We cannot recommend him enough!

    Joe is the best!

    Cannot day enough about how amazing it was to work with Joe. He’s super professional and organized. He kept the dance floor packed the entire night and played the perfect mix of songs. He even helped transition everyone flawlessly from ceremony on the roof todinner to dance floor. I’ve recommended him to all my friends getting married.

    Joe was recommended to us by someone who attended a wedding where he was the DJ. After meeting with Joe, I knew that we chose the right person. He is so knowledgeable in everything needed to make the day go smoothly and even thought of things that we didn't. Most importantly, the music was amazing. He kept the dance floor full the whole night with his song selections and everyone had so much fun!! I would definitely recommend DJ Underdog.

    DJ Underdog is the perfect vendor for anyone who wants to make sure that their event is a great party! He was so much fun to work with and was totally flexible when we wanted to mix things up a the last minute. His expertise shines through in everything he does, from announcing the bridal party to helping you select the perfect tunes for the evening. Despite the heat of the day (it was 90*) he kept our guests going with a variety of songs and genres. We had a great time!

    Let me start by saying we chose our wedding date based on DJ Underdog's availability and not the reception venue's availability! There was no way I (the bride) would have our wedding reception without him! I have been a fan of DJ Underdog for over 12 years since attending a former coworker's wedding in 2005! DJ Underdog knows how to get everyone out of their seats and remain on the dance floor all night playing a mix of songs to accommodate any music-lovers' preference. It has been almost a month since our wedding and we saw friends over the 4th of July who were still going on about how much fun they had at our wedding and how awesome our DJ was!!
    For our wedding, we had a mix of Top 40 - Pop/R&B/Hip-Hop, Motown, Classic Rock, Country, and timeless, classic slow songs. On our RSVP cards we left a space for our guests to include a song they'd "promise to dance to if they heard..."and did our best to include them on our "Must Play" list. For some of the requests we received that were a little slower or older, we asked for them to be played during dinner. The little personal touches that made our guest extra happy that day would not have been possible without the help of Joe! In addition to these special requests, he was also willing and able to cut our first dance song from over 5 minutes down to 3, and blended the mother/son dance from Somewhere Over the Rainbow into a Polka flawlessly!
    DJ Underdog's energy to get the crowd hype extends from his fun-loving, charismatic, humorous personality. You will love this guy the moment you sit down to meet with him. He is hands-down THE BEST DJ I have ever seen/heard at a wedding. Professional, catering, and energetic don't even do this man justice, as obvious by the rest of the reviews on this site and on The Knot. Do yourself a favor and book this man as your DJ! You will not regret it!

    DJ Underdog was AMAZING! He was so personable and easy to work with. He made sure to follow all of our requests for what to play and what NOT to play. We gave him a genre and decade and he played music that all of our friends and friends loved! He was probably the top vendor that we were given compliments for! I would recommend him to anyone! He really put the icing on the cake for our wedding reception! Hire him NOW! :)

    We attended a friends wedding last year that DJ Underdog Deejay-ed and it was the most fun, most energized wedding that we ever attended. When we got engaged, it was an easy choice for us to reach out to Joe to ask him to share in our special day and we're so fortunate to book him.

    The experience start to finish was an extremely positive one. He took the time to meet and get to know us, understand what we were looking for and was very open to sharing his opinions and ideas with us which enhanced the experience even more. He did an incredible job at our reception and had everyone on the dance floor the whole night. He listened to our requests, and did an awesome job of catering to the demographics we had at our wedding.

    Joe also MC'ed the night and did the up-lighting for us. He did a great job keeping us on track and our reception room looked absolutely incredible.

    Music - 100
    Service - 100

    I would absolutely recommend working with Joe if you are looking for an awesome DJ for your wedding.

    Joe was an awesome DJ and made our wedding very fun. The dance floor was packed all night long and if there was a song that maybe wasn't going over so well he would speed things up and move on to the next song to keep people dancing. He had great suggestions when we were unsure of certain song selections, was very responsive to emails, and very understanding when it came to some drama regarding family announcements.

    My husband and I got married at Armstrong Farms on October 10, 2015. We had an outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and indoor reception. Joe (DJ Underdog) covered all three parts of our wedding. He helped us step away from the more traditional wedding music and made our wedding one to remember! Joe kept the party going until the very last song. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Our guests were so impressed by the variety of music that he played and how he kept everyone dancing all night long. We could not be more pleased with Joe!

    DJ Underdog came highly recommended and I had seen him at other weddings in our family, but I was not prepared for how perfect he would make our reception. He helped with our final song selections, which was one of the more fun parts of our wedding planning. He played every song we wanted to hear and even put in some special songs for our parents. He pronounced everyone's names correctly on announcement and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. He played the songs I requests when I was on the dance floor, so that I heard them, which blew my mind that he paid such close attention to what was going on. He made the night and everyone cannot stop talking about how much fun they had. He is really the best of the best!!!

    To say that DJ Underdog is the best is truly an understatement! We could not have been more pleased with having him as our DJ! From the very beginning he was easy to work with and was prompt with returning phone calls and emails. During our initial meeting, he took time to get to know us so that he knew just what to play during our reception. He kept the crowd alive and played just the right mix of old, unique, and new songs to please everyone! He was very attentive to checking in with us not only days before the wedding, but during the reception to ensure that everything was going as planned.

    I would highly, highly, highly recommend DJ Underdog to anyone! He was such a pleasure to work with and made our night perfect!

    DJ underdog was the best decision we made for our wedding. He was very thorough with the planning of our reception and we received nothing but compliments about his music selection and keeping the reception lively. He is a complete professional and I would recommend him to anyone getting married in Pittsburgh.

    DJ Underdog is THE BEST DJ in the area!!!! I cannot begin to mention the NUMEROUS guests that were still telling me weeks after our wedding how AWESOME he was!! I for one never left the dance floor! He kept everything running seamlessly throughout the reception and got everyone up and dancing the entire night! I couldn’t believe it when it all came to an end and the last song was announced, I didn’t want it to end, I had so much fun and it had gone so fast. Everyone had a great time and we can’t thank him enough for being one of the most important parts of our special day!
