About
! I have a free quote builder ! I'm an easy-going, detail-oriented, but appropriately silly person who helps you stay on track both leading up to and during the event. I got my start in the business back in 2018 working for someone else, and went all-in to work exclusively as a DJ by myself in 2023. I'm highly versatile in music, having served events for young, old, Indian, Greek, Italian, Israeli, Spanish, themed parties, and more! Si quieres un DJ que se pueda hablar español, simplemente necesito tiempo para escribir mis anuncios antes del evento. Aprendiendo español, y me gusta trabajar en eventos latinos. 虽然我不能用中文对话,但我可以用普通话做公告。不过我需要提前排练,所以你得提前告诉我需要说什么。至于活动中的歌曲点播,我会带一个牌子,上面说明如何直接将歌曲添加到我专门为点歌创建的****************。

When I first spoke with Tony (DJ Not a Panda) I was looking for a DJ for my wedding. What sold me was his confidence in his MC skills, rightfully so. He really made the night one to remember. He played great music and has great personality on the mic. He made sure to communicate with me before and throughout the night to make sure everything was what I wanted it to be. People were on the dance floor from start to finish. Tony even came out and led some of the line dances that I wanted to do but wasn’t as familiar with. I even had several of my guests tell me how great the DJ was. Tony was awesome, the night wouldn’t have been the same without him!

Great DJ! I was planning a Homecoming for a Non-profit organization and I came across Thumbtack that suggested Not a Panda, and i was pleasantly surprised how fast I got a reply and a DJ booked. He was affordable, asked all the right questions, and was super patient with all of the kids.

Tony was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was professional, easy to work with, and absolutely crushed it on the big day. The music was perfect, the energy was nonstop, and the dance floor stayed alive all night. Our guests are still raving about how fun the night was and that’s all thanks to Tony. Highly recommend him if you want a DJ who truly knows how to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Thank you so much! Keeping the dance floor fun is always my second priority... right behind making sure the wedding runs smoothly. :) I try always to make sure to keep those priorities straight so that you can have a guilt-free good time with your family and friends. I love hearing your satisfied comments, it's really encouraging! :)

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Tony for our wedding! From the very start, he totally understood our music taste and brought the exact vibe we were hoping for. He was on time, set everything up perfectly, and kept the night flowing seamlessly. Tony has an amazing ability to read the room—he knew exactly what the crowd needed and kept the energy high all night long. On top of that, he was just such a fun, genuine guy to work with and talk to. You can tell he really cares about making your event unforgettable. If I ever have another event in Southwest Florida, Tony is the only DJ I’ll be booking. He runs a tight ship, adjusts to any changes effortlessly, and makes the whole experience so enjoyable. Can’t recommend him enough!

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • Pop • Barn • MC services

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I take weddings very personally, so I absolutely try to bring my best to each one by systematizing the whole process, that way each and every customer gets a unique experience but with the certainty of consistent quality. :) I'd love to work with you guys again someday!
