    Everyone wanted to dance — all night

    This review is long overdue. We are a Palestinian couple from California but were looking to get married in New Orleans, and our belabored search for a dabke group in the Louisiana area was leaving us worried about finding a DJ who would be able to meaningfully navigate through music we wanted at our wedding: Fairouz, Bay Area hip hop, indie punk rock; while also coordinating with the dabke group we would eventually (and gratefully) find. And he totally blew everyone away. We had a guest count of 100 and everyone had a great time, dancing through the very end of the night.

    We've been married now over a year, and we have friends still recalling a flawless transition he made between traditional Arabic music and 2Short! Other friends tell us it is the most fun they've ever had at a wedding.

    Kerem was not only easy to work with and masterful, but so, so kind -- a quality in a vendor that I appreciated so much during a very heavy time in our lives (despite deserving of all levity). I wholeheartedly recommend Kerem for your DJ needs, especially if you have an eclectic mix of music and require someone with a feel for both traditional and modern music.

    Seamless experience, musical perfection!

    I cannot recommend DJ Kerem enough! He shared a super helpful "taste primer" sheet that made it easy to understand the genres he typically plays and to communicate our own preferences to him. He completely got the vibes for every part of the evening, from our ceremony itself to the last song of the reception, the vibes were immaculate and there was something for all our guests to enjoy. He made the whole process easy and worked very independently. I would trust this man with my life!

    Kerem was awesome, highly recommend!

    Kerem did a fantastic job at our wedding. We gave him a short playlist of our favorite artists and complete freedom on what to play, he had everyone on the dance floor all night! We also added an impromptu live performance and a song-specific outfit change, he was super flexible and handled it very well, highly recommend.

    5 stars for Kerem!

    We absolutely loved Kerem! He made our wedding day so special in every way! He was always open to phone calls to go over everything beforehand and got our wedding playlist down perfectly! All of our guests had the best time on our day because of Kerem. Do yourself a favor and hire him, you won’t regret it!!!!

    Good vibes and sweaty dancing

    Kerem killed it! We'd have him play for our wedding all over again and highly recommend him. He knows how to set the vibe for any occasion. Even the New Orleans summer heat couldn't keep us off of his dance floor.

    The best number one superstar DJ

    Kerem is an incredible human and DJ! We had a tough time selecting a DJ and feeling comfortable in terms of being in control with the type of music we wanted to be played. We were kind of on the path of a more un traditional celebration. We curated a spotify playlist of a handful of songs that we hoped would set the vibe. KEREM DID AN UNBELIEVABLE JOB WITH PERFECTING THE PLAYLIST FOR OUR SPECIAL DAY!!! Everyone at the party came up to us and said it was the best music they had ever danced to at a wedding. Not only were his song compiling skillz on fire but he was such a genuine, kind, human being. Really made the night so special. Making sure we were happy and not allowing crazy song requests to be made. He was so great. I can't say enough amazing things about him!

    Kerem is the absolute best!

    Our guests continue to tell us that DJ Kerem made our reception amazing! I have a large hispanic family and I requested a mix of latin music along with fun disco/hip hop throwbacks. DJ Kerem delivered with every song and transition. Communication was clear, professional, and prompt during the entire process! I'm so happy we booked him for our wedding, I couldn't recommend him more!

    Had a blast at our reception with great help from DJ Kerem

    DJ Kerem was the best part of our wedding. He was easy to communicate with and fun to be around. We gave him a list of our favorite songs and he was able to add some of his own choices that complemented the vibe. We basically stayed on the dance floor for the whole reception.

    Dance Floor Was Packed

    We hired DJ Kerem for our wedding at Maison Lafitte in Mandeville. We scheduled a zoom and immediately noticed a few albums hung on his walls that we also loved. From there we knew we were in good hands. We made a playlist of a couple of songs for different moods: dinner, ceremony, dancing etc. and in less than 20 songs he managed to get us to a Tee. It was so spot on that at one point a friend asked me if I had made the playlist. We danced all night and it was an absolute BLAST. He was on time, professional, and communicative. Hire DJ Kerem, he is great.

    Hire dj kerem!

    DJ Kerem was absolutely a dream to work with for our wedding "late night" DJ set. I reached out to him only a few weeks in advance of our wedding, and he was extremely responsive and flexible when it came to coming up with a plan for what I'd envisioned. It was so nice to be able to give him very little direction (i.e. just a playlist of some of our favorite songs) and to let his creative expertise handle the rest. We ended up with an absolute blast of a set from him and it was such a fun cap on our wedding night. Everyone raved about him and he engaged with the crowd just enough (and not too much!). I can't say enough positive things - I was pretty type A / particular when it came to anything wedding planning related, and working with DJ Kerem was just SO EASY. He has a very calm way about ensuring that your dream will be brought to life, and he is a wonderful person to boot. If you're considering hiring him - DO IT!

    Best dance party of our lives

    We booked DJ Kerem on my sister’s recommendation, and he did not disappoint! We kept the evening pretty simple, and it basically ended with a 4 hour dance party that had EVERYONE getting down. 10/10, would book again for any other New Orleans event in a heartbeat. -Michelle and Jeremiah

    Perfection

    Kerem was SO much fun. Even my crotchety old dad had an awesome time and couldn’t stop complementing the music. He played a few things we requested and we let him do the rest! We were so happy with it, that when I got pregnant I asked him to make me a playlist for my labor. YES HE DJ’D MY LABOR! The midwives asked several times “what is this playlist!? I love it!”

    So much fun!!

    Kerem was wonderful! So much of planning a wedding can be stressful. We just really wanted to be able to have fun at the reception with friends and family. Kerem made it happen! He kept the music fun and everyone on the dance floor all night. Would absolutely recommend him to DJ any event!

    Went above and beyond!! Look no further!

    Kerem was recommended by a friend of a friend and he really wound up making the dang thing happen. He spent a long time planning the music with my wife, stepped up with improvising and making announcements, etc when necessary, even lent a hand around the venue when we ran into crises. I’ve since booked him for multiple parties in town! I really cannot recommend him enough! You will 100% not regret booking him!

    Professional with great improvisational skills.

    We had little idea for music other than a few standards and favorites. Kerem picked up the vibe of the place and really got everyone moving. The transitions between songs were great too.

    A Memorable Night: By DJ Kerem

    I would recommend DJ Kerem for any event that requires entertainment. Kerem will quickly get everyone in your reception, young and old, dancing as if no one is watching. As the sun was setting on our big day and the dinner service was gently wrapping up, Kerem's DJ prowess promptly welcomed our crowd to an unoccupied dance floor. He was graceful with his opening set, a set that welcomed our guests in attendance, embracing a wide range of musical preferences. Before we knew it, all of our friends and family were in tandem, recalling dances of the past, present and future. Charming and witty, he knows how to handle requests without hesitation. His musical acuity will make you wish the night won't end. Working with Kerem was a delight. He was prompt with his responses in preparation of our big day. When we reached out for his services, Kerem displayed expertise within his field, guiding us through our special evening making sure that no stone went unturned. He'll work with you to make sure the tone is set for every chapter of the evening. I would recommend Kerem to anyone that needs a DJ for their wedding or event.

    Generous and Fun DJ!

    Dj Kerem was easy to work with and took the time to meet with us and understand the tone we wanted to set at different stages of our wedding. He asked us what our favorite bands were, the genres of music we preferred, and which types of music to veer away from. It was clear that DJ Kerem did his research, the resulting playlist was perfect, we danced until the very late evening and with each new song I was surprised and delighted by his sequencing and selection. After our wedding, he was even kind enough to offer the playlist to us as memento, something I still cherish and listen to til this day!

    The DJ *Of Your Dreams*

    When it came time for me and my wife to choose a DJ, we weren't sure where to turn. A friend recommended Kerem and, boy, are we glad he did. DJ Kerem had the whole party shaking for hours and hours. We requested a bunch of songs and even when my mother-in-law INSISTED on Shania Twain for our first dance, Kerem came through and even mixed it in to the play-list later. To think, we were going to put on a iTunes play-list and call it a day! No way! Thanks again Kerem, you're the best DJ ever!
