  I couldn’t recommend Just A Song DJ more! Choosing DJ Keith was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. First of all, my husband and I are the first out of all of our friend groups to get married. Because of this, we were pretty lost in a lot of wedding planning and didn’t have many people to bounce ideas of off. A lot of our resources were online articles and forums. We also were planning and paying for the entire wedding ourselves from Los Angeles which was all very daunting. Keith never made us feel dumb. He knew all the right questions to ask plus he knew when to step in and give suggestions without going overboard or inserting himself. He was instrumental when setting up our timeline. Additionally, when I hadn’t filled out the client site a week and a half before the wedding, he was able to push me to get this done without making me feel stressed or behind. Second, when I asked him about an obscure cover to play during my bridal party's walk down the isle, he found it within a few hours (or faster) and added it to his client site (which was extremely user friendly). Third, I asked my older brother to play guitar and sing a Sara Barielles cover for our first dance song and Keith got him set up with equipment, as well as coordinated with him to make sure he had some time to rehearse in between the ceremony and the reception. He worked directly with our venue a few times, as well as met us at the venue on a rainy Friday to do a walk through with us. This was important to me, as we were planning a CT wedding from Los Angeles. Wow.. haven’t even gotten to the reception. We were running behind and only had a limited time to dance but he made sure to curate a great mix of songs on my “must play list” and the dance floor was a blast. We couldn’t be happier we chose Just a Song, and we know you will feel the same!

  Keith was perfect! From my first conversation with him, I was certain he was the DJ I wanted. I knew he would work well with me and my husband who is a real music buff. Keith has a great catalog of of music and was very willing to acquire a few off-beat song he did not have. He also was incredibly accommodating and flexible. He made it easy and from the moment we hired him we didn't worry about the music at all. Thank you Keith for helping to make it such an amazing day!

  This was one of the easiest parts of our wedding, and that is because Keith was a professional from start to finish and was there at any step of the way for anything that we needed. He was also willing to retrieve and use our favorite songs that are not so main stream. Easy to work with, great wedding! (lots of compliments on the music!!) We highly recommend Kieth!

  We highly recommend " DJ " Keith Lobdell of Just One Song Entertainment for any wedding or special occasion! My husband and I got married outside in my parent’s back yard, under a tent, in Old Saybrook, Connecticut in June of 2016. Between the music, dancing, and classy MCing, DJ Keith made the ambiance of the night perfect.
  
  His easy to use online system allows users to pick out just about any song you can think of, and add it to the playlist. The user friendly system also allows you to categorized songs by “must play” or “play if you can”, which provides flexibility and allows him to play whatever fits the mood. The system also automatically tells you how many total hours of music the playlist will fill. If its not in his system, no problem – DJ Keith was able to find and include all of our requests.
  
  As my husband is Colombian, half of the invitees were Latinos –with a love for salsa and tropical music. We thought it may be challenging to find a DJ that was able to juggle Spanish and English music, but DJ Keith stepped to the challenge and surpassed our expectations. We asked him to start with English and progressively work toward Spanish; and we asked him to start with oldies, and progressively work toward modern music. He did this gracefully and made the party rock until late night.
  
  We were also impressed by Keith’s lighting equipment. He offered including up-lights and a laser show for the party. Though both looked cool, we decided to go with only the up-lighting which looked beautiful as the lights changed color to the beat of the music and bounced off the tent walls.
  
  Again, if you are considering DJ Keith, don’t hesitate! He is a one-of-a-kind DJ!

  Keith was fantastic to work with from start to finish. We are music lovers, and we had a very specific idea of what music we wanted played. Keith worked with us to get all the songs we wanted and to figure out all the timings as well. He also gave us some great song suggestions to fill in parts of the playlist that we hadn't really fleshed out enough. I think the added songs he suggested ended up being some of the favorites for the night. Everyone danced all night!
  
  The planning forms that he has on his website are really helpful. We had a DIY wedding, so filling out his forms really helped us organize the timeline of the night. He was also kind enough to provide us with a speaker and wireless microphone for our ceremony.
  
  Keith is a real music lover, and it was a pleasure to get together with him and kick around ideas. In the end, he really just wants to make his clients happy. He seems very flexible, so I would recommend him for any type of wedding!

  From the early discussions and planning to final preparations and the actual day itself, everything went as well as it could have. We had a lot of positive feedback from our friends and family who told us that the music was great and that they hadn't had that much fun dancing at a wedding in a long time.

  We highly recommend Keith Lobdell of “Just A Song DJ” out of Easton, CT. Throughout our wedding planning Keith was polite and professional. He was flexible in conducting phone conference calls at times that met our schedule needs. He took the time to meet for an in-person venue site visit, to review equipment needs and sound quality. His online music database was easy to use, and it helped us to organize our song preference list, and sequence of events for the evening. Keith confirmed the precise song versions we wanted prior to our event, as well as the correct pronunciation of our wedding party names. On the day of our wedding he was set up and ready to go by the time guests arrived, and he honored our various music preferences. He spent minimal time on the mic, and allowed the evening to naturally unfold. Keith read our guests, and played songs seamlessly to get everyone having a great time. We received so many compliments that the music and dancing was the absolute best! When the final song of the evening concluded, our guests started singing acapella style to ask for one more song. Keith found that particular song in his music database and played it, really bringing down the house and making our wedding reception one we will always remember and cherish!

  DJ Keith was amazing. I am so glad that we picked him to be our DJ. He helped us pick out all the songs we needed for the day, from start to finish, He really knows his stuff. His software and templates were super easy to use and if we had any questions at all he got right back to us. He was able to read the crowd during our reception and everything flowed beautifully. We danced all night. You can tell he has a lot of experience and was very professional. Thank you Keith! If we every need you again you will definitely be the DJ we first call. If you have any hesitations over him, meet him. He's a fantastic guy and an even better DJ. I Highly Recommend him!

  We booked this DJ because I didn't want a DJ who would talk all night and dance with our guests and his bio sounded perfect. He has a great website that you can pick out songs you want played at your event and my now husband spent hours laying out all the songs he wanted for our cocktail hour, intros of the bridal party, dinner, and ALL the songs we wanted to dance to later. It was a long night but he had fun and we couldn't wait to see how Keith mixed all our songs up! We talked on the phone a lot and Keith did a great job going to our venue where he hadn't been before to scope it out. HOWEVER, on the day of our wedding so much went wrong! Despite writing out every name to be introduced, (mind you we recorded them for him too at his request) he messed most of them up, butchered the names, called some twice and forgot the brides brother completely! Before I had a meltdown the wedding coordinator had to have a talk with him. Our first dance went off without a hitch, and dinner music was ok. But during dinner he forgot speeches and then sat down for such a long dinner one of the bridal party had to approach about moving on from dinner. Then when the dancing started I have no idea what happened but none of the music my husband picked out was played and when our groomsmen tried to request the grooms favorite song DJ gave him an attitude. To top it off the speakers blew in the middle of the dancing and we had 20 minutes of complete silence in the middle of the reception!!! I would not ever recommend him to anyone i was so embarrassed about his performance. Luckily my family and friends danced with me anyway when he finally played some of the songs my husband picked out and we were able to enjoy ourselves, but to say that he almost ruined our reception is not an exaggeration!
