Carl was fantastic! He asked for all the songs and events (ie father-daughter dance, mother-son dance) that we wanted to have (and didn’t want to have) at our wedding. He gave suggestions on the order of events and was super flexible. He took recommendations from the guests and everyone had an amazing time. The flow of everything was seamless. The sound was great and the music variety was just as we hoped. He has a great ability to read the crowd and kept them dancing. He was communicative the whole time and made sure we were happy with everything.
10/10 recommend!!!!!

We can’t say enough about Carl. He was amazing throughout the process of preparing for our wedding and during the entire event. Carl was very detailed and spoke with me many times to make sure down to the very smallest details that he had everything as we discussed. Not only was the music 💯 on point but his direction and speaking to the guests and us to make sure things ran smoothly. We are so happy with the amazing job he did. We highly recommend him for anyone’s event. You will not regret! Thank you again Carl for keeping me calm and doing such an amazing job on our special day!!! More...

Carl did a great job for our small wedding! He was reliable, showed attention to detail, followed our instructions perfectly, and was pleasant and professional. He allowed us to more or less handpick our playlist and the guests said not a single bad song was played! More...

Carl met with us before the wedding to understand our musical tastes and preferences. He took our basic playlist and added complementary tracks that worked perfectly during the entire event. He coordinated well with our officiant on the musical cues and arrangements. His behind-the-mic experience encouraged guests to give spontaneous toasts and anecdotes that would not have otherwise happened. Our dancefloor was packed and our guests had a blast. More...

Carl did an excellent job keeping the party atmosphere at our wedding! There wasn't a single song that was played that left dead air; everyone was always grooving to something good. Carl is also very easy to keep in touch with and extremely flexible! Between COVID and a power outage at the venue, we had to juggle a lot of unexpected hurdles last minute and Carl was helpful and supportive throughout the entire process! I would highly recommend him for your next event! More...

My husband and I had Carl DJ our wedding last month and would highly recommend him to anyone. He gives you the opportunity to create your own playlist, as well as play songs that he believes would be a hit depending on the crowd. He has a great personality and also throws a few jokes out there while working. A few weeks before our wedding, Carl even met with us so that we could go over our ideas face to face, rather than just via email. Again, highly recommended! Everyone at our wedding had a wonderful time. Thanks Carl! More...

Carl was a complete professional. Carl was the DJ for our 30th High School Reunion. We had a very small group of 25 people but he had everyone on the dance floor for hours. He knew exactly what music to play for our group. We even extended by an hour because everyone was enjoying the music so much!! He was very easy to work with and responded promptly to any emails before the event! I would highly recommend Carl for your event! More...

Q&As

Music! Knowing what to play and when to play it is a skill that not many DJ's have. Reading a crowd is also a big part of it. Ultimately, you'd like to see most people up having a good time that's the goal.

I can be laid back or upbeat...very adaptable! I'm not there to steal the show...it's your day to shine and be the center of attention. But, I can kick it up a notch if need be.

The people and watching them have a wonderful time. Knowing you played a major part in someone's day is an awesome feeling!

Having been a radio DJ , the transition was just natural.

Experience! Lets face it, anyone can get DJ equipment and call themselves a DJ, but, knowing what to do and how to interact with an event only experience can teach. I enjoy an outstanding reputation in the industry and would be happy to supply references at anytime.
