    Friendly and most helpful DJ

    John had been recommended by one of my friends that got married 10 years ago. My daughter Caroline and her husband Zachary were going to compile a Spotify playlist and had a person picked out that was going to act as the DJ for their wedding. After my friend recommended John, I got in touch with him and I am so glad that we ended up hiring him! He has a questionnaire for the couple with songs that they wanted him to play and also a "do not play" list. John was so helpful from the pre-wedding zoom meetings until the end of the wedding last Sunday, 11/12/23. John is not just a DJ that plays music. He is a fabulous entertainer! He told Caroline and Zachary's "love story" (how they met and their first date) and nothing seemed to phase him. If there was a miscommunication or somebody was not ready for the next segment of the wedding, John masterfully played some funny tunes to entertain us. The biggest compliment we received from one of the friends of the groom was: "I wanted to sit down and take a break but the DJ plays one hit song after another and I just gotta dance!"

    A true professional

    Having worked in the wedding industry it was difficult to not suggest vendors when my daughter got engaged. HOWEVER, there was one vendor that was a no-brainer. John Haskins with Friendly Neighborhood DJ was the only call we would make for DJ/Emcee. He is a true professional while still providing a fun and lively service. By the way, most of both sides of the family.... not dancers. If he can get THAT CROWD on their feet, then he's worth every penny. He's the best!

    John was the most amazing and personable vendor I had the pleasure of sharing my wedding day with!

    He listened to our thoughts & concerns, took everything into consideration and made sure that the day was perfect. He's professional, courteous, and knows how to show people a good time! 10/10, would recommend to everyone looking for a dj!

    March Wedding

    John was very friendly and professional during the entire wedding planning experience. He created a wonderful environment for our wedding guests as well as kept everything on track for the timelines. We were not worried about a thing on the day of the wedding because John had planned everything so perfectly -- his questions were very thorough which made us feel like he was very prepared for the day of the wedding.

    John is the BEST!!

    John is the absolute BEST!!! He is detail-oriented, energetic, great at his job, and just an overall awesome person. He truly is a Master of Ceremonies! I can't tell you how many people came up to me throughout the night saying how amazing and engaging John was-- people are still asking me where we found him! The whole night was specifically tailored to us as a couple, whether it was the hilarious bridal party entrances, the Love Story he told before our first dance to share with the crowd our journey that led us to our wedding day, the tear jerking mother-son dance where he interviewed my husband about his mom and played that throughout their song, or the "moment alone" he created for us at the end of the night. The list goes on. If you are looking for a DJ/MC that will make your wedding a day you or your guests will never forget, The Friendly Neighborhood DJ is it!!

    L Roueche / Mother of the Bride

    We hired John for our daughter's wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! The man is truly incredible! I was asked countless time through the night where we found him. He helped make the evening personalized and to run seamlessly! Such attention to detail! He even found and played my favorite song. You really can't go wrong with your Friendly Neighborhood DJ!

    Made our day incredible!

    John is without a doubt the best DJ we’ve ever seen or heard! All of our engaged friends have asked for his contact after having him DJ our wedding because he’s just THAT good! We loved having him on our team of vendors and wouldn't have had any other DJ!

    Absolutely amazing!

    John was an absolute delight to work with! He met with us beforehand and really listened to our hopes for our big day- and turned them into a reality! His knowledge of music makes him incredible at what he does and he feeds off of the crowd to help drive the party.
    He made my wedding day smooth, stress free, and the best party ever and I could never thank him enough for his services!

    Tips:
    - Don't hesitate to tell him exactly what you want and what you expect. He will discuss everything with you and tell you about his experiences as well and help you create the best possible plans for your day!
    - Meet with John before hiring anyone else. I promise- you'll hire him for your event.

    You can’t top a better DJ than John!

    John had DJ’d at a couple of my friends weddings & was awesome so he was the first one to come to mind when we were planning our wedding! He takes over the whole reception & keeps everything going, he’s professional, & even came out & danced for one of the dances! I knew if we used him we would have no worries!

    The Best Party Ever

    John was the DJ at our daughter's wedding last week. He worked closely with Josh and Ally music selections and added his own flavor to the night. The result was - A Kick-ass Celebration and Dance Party!! John is A-mazing.

    Windley Wedding 6/9/2019

    John was recommended to us by our coordinator, Martye Clendenin, and we are so glad we listened to her suggestion. John was a pleasure to work with. He reminded both us and our families that our only job on our wedding day was to relax and have fun, and he would take care of the rest. And boy did he deliver! We are still getting texts a week later that he played the best music at our wedding. He even let Josh take the mic for a couple of impromptu performances. We are so glad John was a part of our special day!

    More than an MC!

    John was absolutely perfect for our day. He exudes passion for his job and it shows in everything. He offers all inclusive options and all of which are extremely personable to really customize your day/night. He's ahead of his time in his skills and really customizes all of his options to meet your needs. We picked John because we had the pleasure of seeing him in action MCing a wedding almost 2 years prior and he blew us away. He did it again fof our own wedding. If you don't have the pleasure of witnessing John before you agree to let him host your guests, please use this review as a guanratee that it will be one of the best decision for your event.

    Fantastic, highly customized experience

    John did an incredible job at our wedding! We had a fairly atypical crowd (lots of disabled folks) and John was able to customize our night so that everyone was able to participate, even if they weren’t actually able to dance! He also was totally fine changing up our first dance song literally 45 seconds before it happened (I was much more tired than I anticipated being by then, and needed a slower song) and the whole evening went off without a hitch. He also did a great job incorporating toasts throughout the night. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    Our experience was over the top- the most magical and extraordinary night!

    Our wedding was a dream. John made everything run so smoothly, timely, etc. the reception was a blast. Everyone talked about how awesome John was. He carries himself so well- and truly cares about his clients. We felt taken care of and heard. And appreciated the flexibility. Would recommend to anyone I know!!

    Invest in a good DJ

    John is absolutely amazing! Not only did I love him but my guest did too. The way he did our introductions was memorable and mine and my husband love story he told everyone was priceless. If you want a good wedding invest in a good DJ—-worth every dime!

    He's Great.

    John did an outstanding job with our wedding on October 20, 2018. We actually found out about FNDJ because he was the DJ at a wedding we attended. We wanted an intimate feel and he was able to bring that to life. We actually hired him for the reception and played games and whatnot with wedding guests and he was also there for the ceremony & reception. He did a fantastic job and highly recommend him.

    Hands down the BEST DJ we could have asked for. The love story is simply unique and a very cool idea, it adds a special touch to such a special day. John was very involved and made sure our guests were having a good time! He provided up lighting and a photo booth as well! The photo booth was a total hit and I would recommend this for any wedding! I couldn’t imagine our wedding with any other DJ other then John. When looking for DJs the prices may scare you a little BUT you get what you pay for and he’s DEFINITELY worth every single penny! We also had a “private dance” after the last dance for our guests. The private dance gave us a chance to be one on one with no one around but my husband and I. We were able to take that 4 minutes and soak it all in and I feel as though it made our special day that much more special

    Simply put, John was amazing. He was the first DJ that we interviewed, and he set the bar really high from the get go. He ended up exceeding all of our expectations. He was personable and our guests were so impressed and we had a lot of them come up to tell us. He kept everything on track as well as communicating to our guests what was going on. We didn't have to worry about anything. His musical transitions from song to song were some of the smoothest we've experienced. He kept the dance floor packed, and kept everyone entertained thoroughly. His questionnaires for the bride and groom to fill out were lengthy, but ended up being extremely worth it when he used them during the reception. John has certainly found his calling in life, and you're making a great choice by choosing him. We cant sing his praises enough!

    Amazing dj

    John was an absolute dream of a DJ. He brings such a great energy to the room and gets everyone moving. He put together our love story based on our separate accounts and it was one of my favorite moments from the evening. I learned more about Rob's view of us starting out and it was truly an amazing night!

    We visited our local wedding shows and found John. We decided we wanted him as our DJ as soon as we heard him speak! We didn't actually get to chat with him at first because he was so popular. John made our wedding process flow efficiently. He was extremely professional and knew the wedding industry. He was able to advise us on order of events, timeline and other wedding details. I am so glad we had him on our team. Planning a wedding is very stressful. Having a helping hand makes it a little easier. John came out to assist with our wedding rehearsal and also joined us afterwards for brunch. He played games with my husband and I, and even the entire family! It was so much fun! Our ceremony and reception music was executed very well. John listened to what we wanted and turned our vision into reality. I never once had to question anything. It was a beautiful wedding! And by the end of the night, John was on the dancefloor with us! He even gave me the mic for an impromptu singing session with my maid of honor! Our wedding day was everything I had dreamed of, and John made that happen for us! We love John and look forward to seeing him again!
