Dai was awesome. I have a Juneteenth party every year and this year we decided to have a DJ. It was an amazing night, everyone had a great time and particularly commented on how good the DJ was. Dai included our requests and read the vibe perfectly all night. I ended up having to book an extra hour because people stayed longer than usual, which I truly attribute to Dai. Positive is we had the best party we've hosted thus far, but clearly now I will need a DJ every year haha.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **10/10 – Highly Recommend!**
DJ DaiGroovie did an AMAZING job at our Homecoming Dance! He kept the energy up all night and did a fantastic job getting the students out on the dance floor. His fun mash-ups were a huge hit, and the students absolutely loved the music!
He helped make our Homecoming Dance such a fun and memorable night. We would **10/10 have DJ DaiGroovie back again** for another event!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with DJ DaiGROOVIE!! They showed up on time and got right to work. Kept my guest engaged and took all request. Whenever I needed to speak on the mic the transition was right on time. I didn’t need to explain, everything just flowed. Had a blast at our baby shower and that was because we had an awesome dj!
