Carl was everything we needed him to be. We had a micro wedding in a barn. Carl was able to adapt when we needed to move our ceremony inside the barn due to rain. He was nice and professional. I would recommend him for your DJ needs.

Carl was so wonderful as the DJ for our wedding at West Point, NY! I had such a hard time finding someone affordable without getting all the extra crazy "fluff," and was so relieved when I found Carl. He was professional and personable from the very first contact, and beyond helpful in helping us construct a playlist and timeline for the reception while respecting our preferences. He worked hard to make sure he knew what kind of vibe we were going for, and was attentive to the details like name pronunciations, playing great music for dinner, and coordinating with the caterer and our venue coordinator during the reception - he didn't need to interrupt us for anything. We had a mostly younger crowd at our wedding, and the dance floor was packed the entire time! Even a lot of the older crowd couldn't resist getting out on the floor because he picked fun songs for them too. I cannot say enough about the quality of Carl's work at our wedding, and so many of my friends came up to me during and after the reception raving about how great the DJ was. I absolutely recommend him for quality, service, and affordability! Thank you so much Carl for helping to make our day so much fun without breaking our bank!!

Carl was not only professional, but he was so funny and entertaining! He DJ'd our wedding July 2nd and had everyone laughing! He was able to play a great mix of dance classics, newer dance songs, and was able to have a great Spanish/English mix for us! He went above and beyond helping us get thro the reception as far as coordinating things with the photographer and caterer! Highly highly recommend. We couldn't have been happier!!

Carl was the perfect DJ for my sister's wedding. He showed up early to make sure we had time to perform a sound check with the reverend and the videographer and the music he chose for the ceremony was perfect. Carl also played fun and energetic music during the dinner reception, easily switching to songs that suited whoever was near the dance floor. Carl is also very responsive throughout the entire planning process and was able to add quite a few last minute song requests. I would definitely hire Carl again as every guest had such great things to say about his DJ service.

Carl was our DJ for our wedding, and he was so amazing. I had older people and a wedding party full of some none dancers. Carl was able to get everyone out there and dance and really have a great time. I'm and 90's kid and I never felt more like a teenager dancing with all the fun music I grew up with. We had so many comments on what a great DJ Carl is. Carl was very organized with how everything ran through out the wedding and we had great communication. Carl did a great set up with the bridal party entrance, that each couple came in to the reception to there own song, which made it so fun. Carl you are so great, we had so much fun i can't thank you enough for everything you did. I would recommend Carl to anyone and everyone!!!!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I have been a radio disc jockey for over 25 years so it was just a natural transformation. It's just another way of showing my skills.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    The most common are weddings. We do on average about 30 per year and enjoy an outstanding reputation thanks to our clients! We can be upbeat or low key as we are comfortable doing both. with over 20 years in the business we are extremely confident in what we do. It is your event and your day...not ours. Some dj companies "love" to steal the show and make it about them, the day is about the client. Besides weddings, we do just about any event/party and are considered a full service dj/mc company.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Ask questions. Anyone who is good at what they do enjoys talking about it to make you feel comfortable. Remember: There is nothing like experience when it comes to making your day enjoyable.
