    Party playlist of the year!

    Chris was great to work with. He had great suggestions and was receptive to all our requests. His energy translated right to the dance floor. We would definitely recommend him for your next wedding/event. Chris even helped us with photo booth referrals which was a huge hit!

    Best D.J. in the Capital District!

    Chris was an amazing D.J. for our wedding this September. He was very responsive when it came to planning for the big day and went out of his way to meet with us multiple times, as well as respond to our emails, even while he was on a family vacation.

    The experience was excellent from start to finish. Chris listened to all of our requests and understood the vibe we wanted for the night. He kept the energy going without ever being over the top, and the flow of the evening felt seamless because of his attention to detail. The dance floor was packed all night, with guests of every age having a blast.

    Chris was professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with. We felt completely confident that we were in good hands, and he delivered beyond our expectations.

    We couldn’t recommend Chris enough as he played a huge role in making our wedding day unforgettable!

    Best DJ Around

    Chris made our wedding day absolutely special. He was wonderful to work with, from our first meeting with him to our wedding day. His communication with us was amazing before, during, and after our wedding, making sure all our wants and needs were met. The lighting package that he offered was amazing and was perfect for our event. We 100% recommend Chris for any event. He will make it special and memorable.

    Best DJ ever

    Chris was great to work with. He really knows how to read the room and provided an exceptional service. Everything from the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception went well. I’m glad Chris was a part of our team!

    We would recommend Chris to anyone!

    Chris was a fantastic choice for our wedding! Throughout the whole planning process he was responsive and made our musical visions come to life. I especially liked that he preferred over the phone communication, I think this says everything about Chris wanting to work with his customers on a more personal level than just being their “DJ”! During the event he carried out every single request we had and kept the crowd going, you can tell he has great experience with weddings and enjoys what he does. He was extremely professional but also personable, our guests thought he was amazing too!

    So easy to work with!!

    Chris was so easy to work with! He was always responsive and flexible. He was easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable and treated us like dear friends during the entire process. The night went perfectly in regards to music, and the process and order of events. It truly felt like Chris was looking out for us and making sure the night was exactly what we wanted. He went out of his way to find us and the photographer for sunset photos outside and communicated with us from start of planning to the last minute of the evening. I cannot recommend him enough.

    Amazing!!!

    Chris was fantastic! He was very quick to respond and very laid back and flexible. He does great work setting you up for the big day beforehand so once it comes along everything goes smoothly. We even had a last minute change for father- daughter dance and he had no problem adjusting to it and knocking it out of the park. Can not recommend him enough!

    Dance the night away

    We met with many DJs until we found the right one for us. We were looking for someone confident but not cocky, he had to have a positive attitude and be able to listen to our needs. Chris fit what we were looking for! He immediately made us feel comfortable when we were stressing out about our wedding planning. He created a custom mix for dad and I that surprised everyone! He made sure that my parents were present for every big moment (they disappeared to go to the bathroom) and worked well with the rest of the vendors. I I appreciate most his time management, and getting in all of the formalities so we could just dance for the rest of the night. All of our guests had a great time!

    Excellent, Attentive, and Personable

    We had an awesome time with Chris as our DJ. He was easy to work with, personable, and excited to make our day perfect! He read the room and was professional and communicative to make sure we enjoyed our special day. He made sure everything ran smoothly! We received multiple compliments from our guests about Chris and the music. Since he played such a big role in making our day so beautiful, we would highly recommend Chris.

    Chris is great!

    Chris was extremely helpful and conscientious with all of our planning. He was also incredibly easy to work with and "got us". During his meeting and our consistent back and forth emailing and texting he always made sure that he was doing what we wanted and he delivered! He was incredibly professional when setting up and throughout our reception. We can't recommend Chris enough for the work that he did and the effort that he put into the evening in order to make it a memorable night for us and our guests.

    Amazing 11/10

    We trusted Chris with our reception music 1000% and he delivered! He made sure that our ceremony went off without a hitch and continually checked in on us to make sure that everything was okay. We danced the whole night and created so many wonderful memories in the process. He is the man to go to for an amazing party and an incredible night of dancing. He got all of our guests on the dance floor young and old! He took his own photos that he shares with you the next day after the wedding, which came out wonderful. Amazing Job!!

    Wedding DJ

    Chris was the DJ at our wedding at Browns Revolution Hall. Chris was so easy to work with and such an easy going and fun guy. We felt like we had known him for years! He did an amazing job through all parts of the wedding. The ceremony to the dancing after dinner it was perfect. Chris gave us great tips on how to get our guests out on the dance floor and it worked wonders. Our wedding was truly the best day ever and Chris was a huge part of that. We would recommend Chris for any wedding or party. He is the best! Family and friends also mentioned after the wedding how awesome Chris was. We hope to cross paths again.

    Intuitive DJ

    We hired Chris for our November 2023 wedding and it was one of the best vendor decisions we made. Chris was thorough, intuitive, and timely. He kept the party going all night and read the crowd really well. I would recommend Chris 100x over.

    Best DJ We Could Have Asked For!

    Chris was phenomenal! He was up for anything we threw his way. He made us feel confident the whole way leading up to the wedding and was a blast at the wedding. The dance floor was beyond packed and everyone had a fabulous time. He really kept it going! I would HIGHLY recommend Chris to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding (or any event).

    Danced all night!

    We had the best experience hiring Chris for our wedding! He was incredibly accommodating throughout the process and with his years of experience helped us to create a night that us and all our guests would enjoy. We were on the dance floor all night and still have guests telling us what an incredible time they had! He was also an incredible MC and helped the night to flow so smoothly. Would highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding!

    Best DJ We Could Have Asked For

    Chris made the process so seamless and created the perfect atmosphere for our night! People were on the dance floor all evening. We had a very specific idea for our entrances with special cuts we wanted to use and Chris totally understood our vision and executed it perfectly! He also had an incredible idea for the last song - he proposed something by a band he knew was meaningful to us and created a really special moment where all our guests were singing and dancing in a circle around us. From a planning standpoint, he provided us with a detailed template to help communicate all the names, songs, schedules/timing, etc., and met with us to review it in detail - it also included some resources that were invaluable to us when it came to putting together our must plays, do not plays, dinner playlist ideas, etc. On top of it all, he was extremely responsive to all our messages and questions.

    Memories Made

    Chris took our wedding to the next level. He played the music we wanted and when he needed to get everyone involved switched everything up. He made sure all of the audio for the ceremony and speeches was perfect down to the last detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in working with Chris.

    Would 100% recommend!

    Chris had been recommended to me by a couple of people, and after talking to him on the phone I knew he was the one we wanted to hire! He is so easy to get along with and gave us his professional, honest opinions, which helped us make multiple decisions while planning. He’s also, of course, an amazing and fun DJ- our dance floor was full all night and multiple people of all ages commented on how great he is. Not to mention the uplighting he set up looked so cool in photos! He genuinely wanted everyone to have an awesome time and kept the energy going. I’m most grateful that Chris got to know us as a couple beforehand and checked on us throughout the night, which helped me feel more at ease throughout the whole wedding process. Would 100% recommend!

    Dance floor stayed packed all night!

    Hollister entertainment was outstanding from start to finish. Very good with playing the songs we wanted to hear and also very prepared for the day as well. The dance floor STAYED PACKED ALL NIGHT! He was very knowledgeable and his experience shows. He also took some pictures for us and a short video which is something a DJ doesn't have to do. He used that to make a Congratulations post on social media which was a great personal touch for us. You won't be just another wedding with Hollister Entertainment, great overall experience!

    Bride and Groom

    Great experience all around from beginning to end. Chris took the time to know us as a couple and combined that info, with our music likes and his years of entertainment experience to add the “extra” to our already special day! He made everyone comfortable, knew the right mix to get the guests dancing and made it quite the celebration. Guests provided us with great feedback on Chris, they thoroughly enjoyed our DJ. We would highly recommend!

    Chris Hollister should be your next DJ!

    Chris was incredible! Very professional and easy to work with. We had our first call and I felt excited to work with him. He definitely knows music and was able to provide recommendations based on our description of our guests. I did provide him a list of Must Play and Do Not Play and he followed the list very well while also adding in his flare. He had everyone on the dance floor all night long - I don't think I saw anyone sitting. My mom had so much fun that she did a split on the dancefloor! I originally had Shout on the do not play (idk why..) and I quickly decided I wanted to play Shout last minute, and he was flexible & added it to the list. He is overall such a kind, thoughtful, easy to work with person and his music and DJ skills were a huge hit!! He arrived promptly and actually played acoustic music for the first 30 mins before our ceremony as guests arrived. He covered our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and reception. It was lovely! I highly highly recommend him!

    Chris was such a pleasure to work with and was so amazing and accommodating! He was happy to play Persian music for my husband’s family and really took an interest in getting to know us before our wedding. He’d never been to our venue, but no one would have ever known because he is such a natural. At the last minute, we asked if he was able to stay later to extend our party. Although he couldn’t, he went out of his way to make sure we had the equipment we needed to play music for the rest of the night. An absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

    Bride & Groom

    Chris was absolutely amazing. 12/10!! He was professional, kept the energy up all night, and made sure all of the reception formalities flowed smoothly. He went above and beyond to make sure the sound and music for our outdoor wedding was perfect for both us and the guests. We told him our vision to turn an open field and our backyard into the ceremony and reception areas, and he made it happen with two setups. The dance floor was packed the entire night with all of our favorite songs! We had the time of our life and our guests are still telling us how much fun they had and it was all because of Chris. Our wedding would not have been the same without him, thank you thank you THANK YOU!

    Amazing DJ

    Chris was literally the best DJ! Our face floor was bumping the whole night. He was so responsive when I had any questions or special requests. On the wedding day he made sure to keep us on the right timeline. I could not recommend him enough for his professionalism and the quality he delivered. Thank you Chris for making our night so memorable, I hope to see you at another wedding soon!

    Chris is the best!

    Chris was extremely responsive and an absolute pleasure to work with. He made sure my husband and I were satisfied throughout the entire process, including our wedding night. He helped us navigate the planning process as well. Chris was not only responsive to us, but our wedding venue as well to facilitate the set up process making it stress-free for us. He kept the party dancing all night. I highly recommend working with Chris Hollister!

    Bethany and Ryan Wedding- 7/2/2022

    My wife and I got married at The Barn at Liberty Farms on July 2nd, 2022.
    We are so happy we hired Chris Hollister (Hollister Entertainment) to take care of our wedding ceremony and reception!

    From the moment we reached out to Chris nearly a year in advance, he responded right away with his availability. Chris laid out details about his pricing with different features he had to offer.

    About 3 weeks in advance of our wedding, we had a meeting about the things we wanted to include in our wedding reception. Chris did a fantastic job making sure he would pronounce names correctly, and taking the time to make sure our needs and wants were met! He took the time to get a feel about what type of audience would be at our wedding (younger crowd, older crowd, mix, etc).

    From the moment our reception started, people were dancing the ENTIRE time, which was over 4 hours! Our guests were reaching out to my newly wife and I the next day saying they thought our DJ did a fantastic job, and that they haven't had that much fun at a wedding in a long time! Chris got all of our guests singing and dancing to a bunch of variety of music we requested with a mixture of things he thought would flow well.

    Chris is extremely professional and truly cares about making your wedding the best day of your life. We are so thrilled with the way our wedding went!

    Ryan and Bethany O'Connell

    Kept the Party Going

    We are so glad we chose Chris to DJ our wedding. He listened to what we wanted and even was able to do some last minute changes we asked for. It was so nice to just let him do his thing and not have to check in all the time so that we could enjoy every aspect of our wedding. He played a great variety of music and kept people on the dance floor. We highly recommend him for any event.

    Great DJ! Highly recommend

    Chris was so great from the very beginning! He is quick to answer any questions and provides you with his own planning form which really helped keep everything organized. He was thorough and made sure to triple check everything was exactly how we wanted it! The day of he did everything perfectly and even provided things we didn’t think were included just to make sure it was extra special! I would highly highly recommend!

    Fantastic and highly recommended DJ

    Chris did an amazing job. He helped us every step of the way to help coordinate the music for our ceremony and introductions at the reception. We picked out a few songs and artists we wanted to hear during the reception, but we left the rest up to Chris. And, he did not disappoint. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests had an amazing time. Chris is a great DJ, and made our wedding a memorable night!

    Highly recommend Chris as your DJ!!

    Chris was amazing from first day we contacted him. He was easily our most attentive and accommodating vendor. He got to know us on a personal level a couple weeks before the wedding, and even though we had just met him, it felt like we had a good friend DJ-ing our wedding. He even helped our venue set up our ceremony outside when we made a last decision to move the wedding outside when the rain stopped, and accommodated some unique requests we had for our ceremony. We, along with our family and friends, had such an amazing time on the dance floor, thanks to Chris. The only downside is that it went by so fast because everybody was having so much fun!! We highly recommend booking Chris for your special day!

    Fantastic service!

    Chris was FANTASTIC! He, without question, stuck with us as we had to change our plans last year due to Covid. He provided beautiful music for our ceremony as well as created a playlist for the reception that kept the dance floor packed all night long! The reception spaced looked awesome with his up lighting and our guests loved the glow sticks that he provided! He even took several great photos of our guests dancing, as he knew we had limited time with our photographer. If you are looking to have a great party with a highly professional DJ, I strongly recommend Hollister Entertainment!!

    Chris was amazing! From the first time we met until the end of the night he was professional, prompt, and passionate about his work. Our vision was to have our dance floor packed all night which he made come true! I loved that he continuously checked in with us at the reception to make sure we were happy with the flow of the night and made adjustments as needed. Thank you Chris for the best night ever!

    Dancing the night away on our special day

    DJ Chris Hollister was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was so wonderful and responsive to our emails and even was able to stay with us through two rescheduled dates due to COVID-19 shut downs. He was just as excited about our big day as we were and you could tell he was in his element as a DJ that night. Our guests did not leave the dance floor from the time dinner ended through the end of the reception. We even squeezed in one extra song, because everyone was having such a great time. Chris was wonderful about checking in with us about song requests from other guests (only when needed for more suggestive song requests), which was great! For my Father Daughter dance song, there was a song we wanted but there was one verse that we felt just didn't fit us as well as the rest of the song, so Chris was awesome and was able to edit the song to fit our needs. Chris talked with us via email and provided regular responses and suggestions when we asked. He also met with us in person about a month out from our wedding to get an even better feel for what we were looking for, as it had been some time since our first planning meeting, due to the pandemic and rescheduled dates. We felt so comfortable with Chris and truly are so glad that we booked him as the DJ for our wedding. THANK YOU, CHRIS!!!

    Chris was fantastic! I hired Chris last year and then we had to reschedule our wedding to this year and Chris did NOT disappoint. He was so easy to communicate with, understood what I wanted and had ALL of
    Our guests dancing. I had initially told Chris to not be offended if there were not many dancers because most of our guests are not into dancing but Chris proved me wrong and had EVERYONE on the dance floor! Chris thank you for everything!!

    Very organized and professional yet so laid back and spoke to us like family! Just a text or phone call away and very easy to meet with!

    Chris was very accommodating from the start, he knew I had no idea how a wedding worked and guided me the entire way, he provided ALL of the equipment and then some, great at capturing the attention of the audience and getting people on the dance floor…even my grandma had her shoes off…. Highly recommend!

    Stop debating and book him!

    We had Chris DJ our wedding in July 2021 and he was absolutely amazing. He met with us beforehand and actual tried to get to know my husband and I, not just our music preferences. He did a fantastic job with the playlists at the wedding and my guests were constantly telling me they loved the songs. He also made sure that he knew how to correctly pronounce the names of all members of the wedding party (because nothing is worse than somebody hearing the wrong name). Our dance floor was busy all night and we all had a ball. Thanks Chris!

    What can I say about Chris Hollister? This guy is fantastic! We had another DJ booked and when things fell through, Chris saved the day. He is so professional, on the ball and a genuinely kind person. I’m grateful it worked out the way it did because I honestly couldn’t imagine it going any better. You can tell by the energy he brings that he truly loves what he does! You feel like he genuinely cares about you and your wedding and wants to make it the most memorable night. I would absolutely recommend booking Chris for your wedding or any event you need a DJ, you will not be disappointed!!!

    The best DJ who gets to know you as a couple and makes you feel important

    Chris was an amazing DJ. We were planning during covid which was tough, but Chris made us feel less stressed out. He was always upbeat and told us we will make it work with whatever the rules are. He was very good at answering any questions. He has no hidden fees which was great and he is very upfront. Many DJ we spoke to wanted us to book right away when all we wanted was price quotes. Chris was different he gave us a quote and didn’t pressure us at all which we loved. The price he gave was the price we paid nothing added at the end like some DJ. We only took a day or two to think about it and we decided to go with Chris. We made the right choice. He gives you a very clear planning sheet which made the whole process easier. We had to change the date of one of our meetings and he was very easy going! You can tell he has a lot of passion for this. One thing he does to get everyone dancing is after the entrances he has you pick a upbeat song and has the wedding party dance to get people to come over. During the wedding we decided we wanted to do the shoe game, but thought it was to late. Chris made it happen he acted like we had it all planned. The guests loved the game . He reads the room and decides which music to play and takes requests! He checked up on us during the wedding and made sure we were happy. All the guests said he was very easy going and the music was great! He is very affordable! He also gets to know you as a couple which makes you feel more comfortable. He brought glow sticks which was a huge hit. We would recommend him! He is very popular and when we spoke with him he had many dates booked

    Amazing time with Chris!!

    Chris was absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough good things. He rescheduled three different times for me (due to COVID). He played great music and was very interactive with my guests. He also very kindly put up with my “more difficult” guests. Chris is a true professional and I would recommend him to any couple looking to hire a DJ!! Thanks again Chris!!

    Could not have worked with a better DJ!

    Planning a wedding during COVID was less than ideal. However, in choosing Chris as our DJ we were able to have a fantastic night with lots of fun regardless. I cannot say enough good things about working with him. From the time of first contact to the night of our event, Chris was professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and most importantly, flexible. We were unable to have dancing but Chris worked with us to develop ideas to keep the night moving and entertaining and took on more of an MC role. He also worked with us to pick music that was fitting for the evening (not too dance-focused but not boring either). If this is what Chris was like for a wedding during a pandemic, I can only imagine what he is able to do for weddings during normal times!

    Hire this DJ!!

    We can't say enough about Chris. From the start, we connected and he knew exactly what we were looking for. We decided to move forward with our wedding during Covid and he was there with us every step of the way. Despite the challenging times, he made our wedding memorable and spectacular. Some people even danced! Socially distanced, of course. We would hire Chris over and over for our wedding and any other event.

    Wedding DJ

    Chris was our wedding DJ for our August wedding and he was great! He is very easy to talk to and responded quickly to all our emails/questions leading up to the day of our wedding. The day of the wedding was perfect & he played all the right music at the perfect moments! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for an upcoming event!

    Wedding Entertainment

    My husband and I booked Chris after finding out about him through a friend. We were able to witness him in action at a wedding prior to ours. Chris was awesome to work with leading up to the wedding. During the wedding he played everything we requested and took into consideration the crowd on the dance floor. He really went above and beyond to ensure our guests had a fun experience!

    Excellent experience working with Chris!

    Chris was amazing to work with. He was so responsive and we had great communication leading up to our wedding. He was able to fill in the blanks for any music I was unsure of and he set a fabulous tone for our wedding day! The dance floor was constantly packed! I have received so many compliments from friends and family on what a great job Chris did and how much fun they had. He also captured a few great photos that I absolutely love.

    Fantastically Fun

    If I had to describe our wedding in one word I would have say fantastic. I credit that mostly to Chis Hollister. He set the atmosphere for a fun and enjoyable wedding for all. There was no better man for the task. He is a funny, likable guy who sets the tone for the wedding. If you're looking for a fun, upbeat wedding Chris is your guy. Thank you Chris for helping us on the best day of our lives. You made our day so memorable and special.

    Amazing experience with Chris!

    I cannot recommend Chris Hollister enough as a wedding DJ! He had the perfect mix to get people (of all ages and backgrounds, we were a diverse group!) dancing all night! He also managed to keep everything running smooth, from introductions to special dances and dedications, he did a great job of transitioning the night from one activity to the next. And most importantly, we received endless compliments about the wedding music.
    Thank you Chris, so much, for making us feel like your number one priority! We had the best night of our lives!

    Outstanding DJ!

    The services of Chris Hollister were the icing on the cake for an already perfect Fall wedding for our daughter Kayla. From the instant my wife and daughter met Chris, it was clear he would settle for nothing less than a spectacular experience for everyone in attendance. His personal touches and attention to detail did not go unnoticed and we couldn't be happier about how much of a good time everyone had as a result. We highly recommend his DJ and lighting services and hope everyone has the opportunity to experience this true professional.

    Excellent! Great person, great DJ.

    Chris was wonderful throughout the whole planning process. He made it very easy for us to communicate what we wanted out of our day. Everyone had such a wonderful evening and danced during ALL of our allotted time! My sister had recommended Chris to us after she booked him for her wedding. Our weddings were only 3 months apart, and of course had many of the same guests. Chris did a great job of reading the room and taking in our likes/dislikes. Each reception was unique in what was played, but equally fun.

    Choose chris for dj

    We can’t say enough great things about DJ Chris Hollister. Anything that we wanted, Chris made happen. A DJ plays a huge role in setting the vibe for wedding. His energy and love for what he does is shown every time he’s on the mic. Our dance floor is one of the biggest in the area, and it was completely filled for the dance set. Thank you Chris!

    Better party than Dave Matthews Band next door!

    Making the decision to go with Chris was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. From our first meeting with Chris he made us feel comfortable with how he would be a part of our day and left no doubts in our minds that he was the right man for the job. We had our wedding at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga on the opening night of Dave Matthews Band.. Despite the distraction of DMB, Chris was able to entertain our guests all evening and met our main request.. to keep everyone dancing! He fit seamlessly into the flow of the night and also did a great job MC’ing the evening. He even had a couple fun surprises towards the end of the night and ended our wedding with the great rendition of Frank Sinatra - New York, New York.
    We are so thankful for a great wedding and Chris was a key element. Our guests have not stopped talking about how much fun they had!

    Thanks Chris!
    Mr. & Mrs. C

    Amazing, cognizant of our music style and easy to work with!

    Chris was great- given a change of schedule on our end we weren’t able to meet with him in person until the week of our wedding. Honestly being in the midst of busy wedding planning he was such a breeze to work with! He was flexible with our vision of music for the night and made our dance floor a crowded one full of non-stop good times until the night ended. We couldn’t give Chris a higher rating - he does great work!

    Fantastic Wedding DJ!

    Chris was so great to work with. Aside from a few specific song selections, we gave Chris freedom to pick whichever songs he thought our guests would enjoy and want to dance to. He’s got so much experience, he really knows what songs and what kind of music will get people on the dance floor. Chris also did a great job picking a variety of musical styles and played songs that all generations enjoyed. Our guests all raved about how great our DJ was. Chris was also very flexible with last minute changes to our entrance and he worked well with all of our vendors at the reception to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We’re so glad that we picked Chris as our DJ! If anyone is looking for a DJ that really knows how to get the party going, Chris is your guy!

    A True Professional

    Chris is extremely professional, responsive and very detail-oriented. He meets with you a handful of times to go over everything and provides an extensive Planning Form, which we found very useful when making our music selections and determining which of the “traditions” we would want as part of our reception. He kept everyone on the dance floor throughout the night and delivered everything that he promised. We received many compliments about our music.

    Chris is the party master!

    What a party master. Chris kept our ceremony flowing and the party jumping during the reception. Chris helped Dave execute a secret vow ceremony, he sang, during the ceremony and it came over great. Then moved to the reception. We had provided Chris with very little guidance just a few specific songs to play so it was open to him to read the room. His music selection and interactions with our guests throughout the night kept everyone up and dancing all night. Chris made our party something to truly remember.

    Chris was the DJ at my sister’s and friend’s wedding, and I liked him so much I wanted him to do my wedding as well! I would recommend Chris for any wedding reception. He is easy to work with, very responsive, and really brings the party and dancing to the reception. During the first song he played people started heading to the dance floor! I was so glad he was available to be the DJ for our wedding.

    Amazing attention to detail!

    Chris was absolutely amazing! He was flexible with facetiming us since we were out of state, he played all the songs we requested, he checked in to make sure we had drinks for our toasts, and he paid attention to every detail all night. He checked name pronunciations, if there were other songs we wanted as the night wound down, and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. When I needed people inside for the parent dances he went and got my brother to make the announcement on the back deck rather than interrupting the music. His attention to detail made everything run smoothly and flawlessly.

    Love the DJ

    We hired this DJ for my fiance and I engagement party and it was an amazing time. Their music selection was great and they played everything that was requested. The prices was reasonable for the amazing service that you receive and I am happy to say that I will be using them again for my upcoming wedding. Highly recommended.

    Awesome experience!

    We hired Chris to DJ our wedding last month and he was just amazing! It’s so important to hire vendors who are talented but also professional and experienced. Chris is all three of these things. He was able to surprise my husband and I by getting even are most reserved guests out on the dance floor. Everyone had a wonderful time and we truly could not have asked for anything more. We would recommend Chris 10 out of 10 times to whoever asks!

    When it came to choosing a DJ or having a band play at our wedding, it was pretty easy for Dan and I. Our initial conversation was great and I immediately felt confident in our choice. Chris communicated with us in the months and days leading up to our ceremony. He was flexible, patient, and understanding even with some of the last minute things we changed. Chris catered to our guests and more importantly made sure that Dan and I had an amazing wedding day. Chris, we could not have asked for a better party and we are forever grateful to you for creating our best day ever.

    Chris is an INCREDIBLE DJ and MC! We could not have asked for a kinder, more knowledgeable, experienced and FUN Dj. Chris is very personable and really knows how to get the crowd going. His music selection is “on point” and he can really read the crowd. Numerous people had assumed he was our friend because of how easy and seem less working with him was as well as
    How friendly he is. The choice of DJ to me is one of the biggest decisions for a party and boy was Chris a good one! If we can give him more than 5 stars we would—pick him for your event. Don’t bother looking for anyone else, you won’t find better!
