We cannot stress enough how fantastic you made our evening! The whole crew was prompt, communicative and professional, but also made you feel like you’ve known them forever. I felt like family was there for us! James was absolutely one of a kind to speak with and plan the entire wedding services and Fitz, Dave and Ma’kayla knocked it out of the park! On behalf of my wife and I we cannot thank you enough!

We are incredibly pleased with James’s DJ services for our wedding (September 12, 2021). Leading up to the wedding, James made himself available and was very helpful in tailoring a few of our special songs. He absolutely seeks to please the client and adds in his own expertise that brings it all together. He’s a pleasure to work with and had our wedding literally bumpin’. We highly recommend his service. Thank you, James! Warmly, Brittany and Jess

James was our wedding DJ - he kept the party going from start to finish. I was on the dance floor almost every minute of the night having the time of my life. Overall, an amazing evening - all of our guests had a wonderful time as well and I would not change one thing! Highly recommend!
