I like an energetic party atmosphere because that's a sign of a great event. I also like seeing the bride and groom or whoever is being celebrated have a great time! I enjoy the compliments I receive from the guests during an event! One time I played YMCA for a wheelchair bound grandmother of a bride. They both later thanked me and said their dreams of actually dancing together came true! It's the small things that I appreciate from my clients that not only makes me a better DJ, but a better person as well. I have clients from 10 years ago that tell me family members still reminisce about the great time they had! Creating memorable events like that is my goal along with providing the best service possible!

First of, Joe is just awesome! He gave us an awesome deal of $425 for 4 hours. He brought everything with him that he needed besides a table, but our venue provided that. He kept the party going. What I really loved was when he could tell a song wasn't a hit with the guests, he would fade it out and start another song. At one point through the night I'm pretty sure Joe was on the dance floor teaching some of our guests some dance moves, it was the best! Secondly, a week before the wedding I realized I needed someone for ceremony music (stupid me), I emailed Joe and he called me and told me he could do it, no problem. The ceremony was only $100 extra. (Total for the night being $525). From meeting with Joe you just get a sense of his personality and can instantly see how your event will go. He makes makes planning an event easier, and everyone could use relief when planning a big event! If I ever get the chance to plan another event where I need a DJ I know I'll be contacting Joe. You seriously can't go wrong with him. If anyone reading this wants more information, feel free to contact me because Joe is too good to pass up! Cefoch01@Louisville.edu

Chelsea, Thank you for a well earned awesome review! Your ceremony and reception both were one the best of 2015! Your dad was even going to pay me for an extra hour due to great time everyone was having! All of the events went extremely well and your event flowed perfectly! Thank you again for everything and I wish you a future filled with happiness! :) Joe

Joe was awesome and professional. He responded immediately to my concerns. The guest at the party were impressed with how he mixed the music and the timing. Several wanted to know where I found him. He made the playlist for me and I am playing it on my way to work. The event was Saturday and today Monday I am still smiling how awesome my party was. I didn't have to worry about anything because he was "on it". Thank you again joe. He also closed out the event very well with a dance for my husband and me....loved it!!!

Lavera, This was definitely the best actual birthday party I've done in years! From all the great songs on your playlist to the last song for you and husband, this was a standout event for this year! A friend of yours even asked me if I could DJ her daughters wedding based on the great time she had and my professionalism! Thank you again and I look forward to celebrating with you again on your next big event! :) Joe

Working with Joe for our wedding reception was great! He was quick to respond to our questions leading up to the day, professional, dependable and on time. But most importantly he was fun! People were on the dance floor all night, and everyone raved about how good he was! He had all of our music requests ready to go. I would definitely recommend him to any of our friends for any event!
