Daisy O. Sent on 10/23/2024Best DJ ever!!!
Joe was the DJ for our wedding two weeks ago and he is AMAZING. Throughout the whole process, he was super easy to work with, super informative, professional, and just all around awesome. He immediately knows the vibe, is so great at reading the room to get everyone up and dance, and has impeccable taste in music.
- His uplighting was STUNNING - the colors, placement around the venue and dance floor, all of it. He created the most epic party vibe for us.
- I was super concerned about the microphones and sound for the ceremony due to wind and cars driving by. The sound was SPOT ON. I wanted loud, and we got loud! Everyone could hear our vows, which was incredibly important to me.
- He is so joyful and fun! The guest feed off his vibe. Everyone was raging all night long. Truly, the best night ever. I had SOOOO much fun. All of our guests were raving about out DJ!
- My mom wanted to sing a song during our reception, and Joe was SO gracious about it. He spent time prepping with her, and it ended up being a huge hit. He made sure it all went smooth. It was one of the highlights of my night, and of my mom's life she said. It meant so much to our family.
I am forever grateful to Joe for helping to cultivate the best day/night of my life. I SUPER strongly recommend Joe for your upcoming event. -

Joe Cortez was the best DJ we could have ever asked for! In addition to excellent music and sound, the lighting was exactly what we envisioned for our special day. From the moment we were introduced to Joe, we knew we were in good hands and our wedding would be full of epic sound and energy. He killed it, and everyone had such a great time. He made sure to play our favorite hits and even some deep Bay Area tracks to get the crowd going! What a night; Joe is a consummate professional and all around great dude. Would highly recommend! -

We knew that the DJ was one of the most important components of our wedding since we wanted to throw a party for our friends and family. We decided to work with Joe after meeting with him and learning about his various experiences as a DJ and his knowledge about setting the stage and throwing the perfect party for important events. Everything from the wedding ceremony to the cocktail hour to the party that went past midnight, we were so happy we chose to work with Joe. We met with Joe several times to discuss our music choices and genres and trusted him to work off our preferred choices – and we were beyond pleased with the results! Our party was a mix of EDM, hip hop / rap and dance songs. We also had very good vibes during cocktail/hour and dinner. Joe is very organized and you can definitely count on him to come through at your wedding! -

Stefanie L. Sent on 05/09/2024The BEST DJ, Highly recommend - Thanks, Joe!
We LOVED working with Next Level Entertainment & DJ Joe Cortez for our wedding in Maui. We hired NLE for DJ & EmCee services, Photobooth & Up lighting and we can't speak more highly of Joe or recommend him more. We got to meet with Joe several times via Zoom & in person prior to the wedding to discuss how we wanted our big day to go and Joe was so on top of it. The reception went very smooth and he did a wonderful job as EmCee. Once the dance floor opened, Joe absolutely crushed it! As Bay Area natives, we wanted to bring the Bay to that island and he did not disappoint. We & our guests had so much fun dancing the night away! The photobooth was also a big hit! Joe and his team helped us customize our backdrop and photos which was such a nice touch for our guests. Mahalo, Joe! Thanks for making our special day truly unforgettable! -

Our Maui wedding wouldn't have been the same without the incredible talent of DJ Joe. From the moment we met him, his friendly and kind demeanor immediately put us at ease, and we knew we were in good hands.
DJ Joe's organization skills were second to none, ensuring that every detail of our intimate wedding was perfectly executed. We were initially worried that our guests might be too shy to hit the dance floor, but Joe had a solution for everything. With his amazing ideas and fun games, he effortlessly warmed the atmosphere, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening of celebration.
One of the highlights of the night was our first dance, which was a custom mashup. Joe went above and beyond to help us edit the music multiple times until it was just right, never once complaining or hesitating to lend his expertise.
Thanks to DJ Joe, our wedding reception was an absolute blast! From start to finish, he kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. It's safe to say that everyone in attendance will forever remember the amazing atmosphere he created.
If you're considering hiring a DJ for your wedding, look no further than DJ Joe. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shine through in every beat. We can't thank him enough for making our special day in Maui, Hawaii, one that we'll cherish forever :) -

Kristina C. Sent on 06/10/2021Best emcee/DJ for your wedding
We first experience Joe Cortez and his Next Level Entertainment (NLE) team at a friend's wedding a couple of years back. We knew from that moment that we were going to hire NLE to emcee/DJ our wedding. From our very first meeting all the way to our big day, Joe was very down to earth and easy to communicate with. Joe takes his time getting to know you and what you want and offers suggestions that may improve the flow of the reception. Since we had been planning our wedding during a pandemic, Joe made the process very easy and most importantly stress free. Joe and his team was able to raise the energy level of the guests and was able to keep the guests engaged throughout the night. They made everyone feel welcome, relaxed, and everyone had a great time. One of our best wedding planning decisions. -

Joe Cortez and the Next Level Entertainment team were absolutely amazing to work with! Joe’s energy was infectious from the first meeting we had with him! He asked all the right questions and got us so excited for the reception! You can tell he loves what he does and is just so happy to make the event exactly what you want it to be! For us, he created so many fun and memorable moments at our wedding reception! He is so good at reading the room and making sure all guest are having the best time! Along with the DJ services, we purchased a light package from Joe and that REALLY set the scene! It was the perfect, extra touch to have music and lights be synced up for our event! We also greatly appreciated the content his team produced throughout the ceremony! Our videographer services ended soon after the dance party began so it was a really cool surprise to see NLE put together quality footage of the dance party! We had so much fun with Joe and his team and highly recommend his services! Thank you Joe!! -

Malyssa C. Sent on 04/18/2022Best DJ and MC! Highly Recommend
Picking the right DJ was a big deal for my husband and I. Setting the right vibe, understanding the energy of the audience, and keeping the dance floor lit was VERY important to us. We also have some friends who are DJs, so I think our bar is somewhat high compared to the average person.
Joe did such an incredible job as a DJ and MC, we truly couldn't have asked for more. Our guests kept raving about how good the music, mixing, and MCing was! He did an amazing job of reading the energy of the audience and making sure that the night flowed with ease and perfection. He executed on our vision SO PERFECTLY, we are both beyond impressed. My husband and I are both from the Bay Area and let me tell you, Joe was able to bring the Bay Area vibes to the islands! We had so much fun with our guests on the dance floor!
Joe was also such a pleasure to work with. Very professional, asked all the right questions, great attention to detail, and even went above and beyond by providing us with some insight on our day-of timeline. This was a huge game changer for us and helped make the night flow much smoother. He clearly knows his stuff, and we felt really confident in our decision to work with him even before our actual wedding day.
Highly recommend Joe and would work with him again in a heartbeat! -

Picking a DJ was one of the hardest things for my husband and I when planning our wedding. We have significantly different music tastes and we thought it would be hard to find someone that would be able to blend our music. When we first met with Joe from Next Level Entertainment, we knew immediately he was the man for the job. He talked with us and got a feel for our style and gave us good ideas of where our different music styles would work best during the wedding. One of the first questions Joe asked us was “when people leave your wedding, what word do you want them to use to describe it?”. Our response to that was “fun!” and Joe DEFINITELY made that happen. We’ve had so many of our guests tell us that it was the most fun wedding that they had ever been to. I’m pretty sure I never left the dance floor because I loved every single song.
My maid of honor had a last minute request for Joe to help make a Disney mash-up for her toast as a surprise to me. Joe made it happen without any problems and she was so happy with the result (as was I!!). Joe was so flexible and easy going, he made everything super easy with the music.
Next Level Entertainment also has a photo booth that you can rent from them and I would HIGHLY recommend it! They bring so many fun props to play around with. You get print outs of all the photos, but also on top of that, you get an email with a link to all of the photos, in case you end up losing your picture from dancing so hard. It was so special to see all of our friends photos a few days after and laugh at all of their antics.
We would highly recommend this company for any DJ services that you need. Thank you, Joe, for taking our wedding to the next level and making it a night we’ll never forget!!!! -

Joe Cortez & team was so awesome to work with! We hired Next Level Entertainment to provide a social booth for our wedding and it was so fun! Our guests absolutely loved it and they could post right onto social media. You could even take boomerangs! I would definitely recommend them as they do a superb job from start to finish. Thank you so much! -

We hired NLE for our wedding on Aug 17 at Gannons. DJ Tony was amazing, he hyped up the crowd and got everyone to dance on the dance floor. You will not be dissappointed with NLE, they will go above and beyond their duties. -

Toni A. Sent on 08/15/2018From the start of our wedding planning we knew we wanted Next Level at our event. Joe and Jay are really personable and easy to talk to. When ever we had questioned they were right there to respond. From the start of our wedding ceremony to the end of the reception they touched on so many emotions- it was amazing! My wife and I had a grand idea for our wedding party entrance and Jay delivered! We couldn’t ask for anything more than what Next Level provided. The night of our wedding til this day we get compliments about our reception and the program. Thank you so much Jay, Joe and the Next Level Crew for making our special day PERFECT!

Krisha Sent on 08/20/2018Next Level Entertainment was very highly recommended! They are very responsive in getting back to you and very easy to work with. They made sure everything that we wanted to happen, happened on our day. Our wedding day was amazing from lighting, dj, emcee, monograms, photo booth, everything. Joe listened to our ideas and even tweaked it to make it better. They had made our reception program amazing. Our guest had told us they were just so many emotions throughout the whole reception from laughter and ALOT happy tears, from a creative bridal party entrance, personalize first dance, letter to my dad, love story, etc. my husband and I, bridal party and guests had love every single part of the ceremony and reception. I would definitely do it all over again! I highly recommend them!
