Lori was so personable and a consummate professional from moment one! I had not hired a DJ before, and Lori gave me all the information I needed without my having to ask. It was not only efficient but a great pleasure to work with Lori. She stayed in contact throughout the process to make our event fun and her services seamless. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again for an event and would recommend her services to anyone looking for a friendly and professional DJ who is excellent at "reading the room" and keeping the positive vibes going for hours! Thank you, Lori! You are awesome! More...

Our event wouldn't have been the same without Lori and her assistant Louie! She was so thorough from the very beginning that I was immediately sold after we first connected. She even went above and beyond with the decor setup around the DJ booth for our Halloween themed surprise party. Which just elevevated our party even more! Lori and Louie also both dressed up in theme and agreed to play along as a "bouncer" to surprise the guest of honor. Absolutely the best sports! Now, for the music. Even with an unfortunate mishap with the folder that held all our music, Lori still managed to keep the party alive and weave in all our song requests with ease. Everyone truly had a great time! Even the attendees at an event downstairs told us they could hear all our music and said our DJ was amazing! Will definitely be reaching out to Lori for all my events moving forward. More...

Our organization had a great experience working with DJ Lori. We booked DJ Lori for a fundraiser for a group of 50 people. Lori provided all of the information for the payment schedule, lighting, song selection, and her day-of-event schedule upfront. DJ Lori was readily available by email as our event approached, and we determined an agenda for the event. DJ Lori was seamless in her use of songs to keep the event momentum up and the changing of the volume from music to microphones for our fundraiser program. I would highly recommend booking DJ Lori for your next event. More...

So glad we chose DJ Lori as our DJ for our community Trunk or Treat event! She provided the best Halloween themed music as well as top trending hits that made the event even more memorable to everyone in attendance. DJ Lori went above and beyond by coming out to our location prior to the event to discuss set-up (given the event was outside) and joined in on the holiday fun by bringing her own decorations to her set. DJ Lori provided great communication from start to finish. She made the process in highering a DJ for any event very simple and stress-free. We look forward to working with Lori for this same event next year! More...

DJ Lori is amazing. She is competent, confident, organized, and communicative!! Big big bang for our buck! We had a 200 person post Covid wedding with people ages 8 months to 80 plus years and EVERYONE was on the dance floor, stayed on the dance floor, and didn’t want the night to end.

Right away she was a completely engaging, calming presence.

Throughout the planning of the day she stayed in personal and professional contact ensuring that specifics would be seamlessly navigated. We held a flash mob to surprise the bride and groom that involved about 75% of the guests—it. Was. epic. DJ Lori was wonderful throughout.

I would hire her again for any event!

I writing this review months after my home wedding was held earlier this year (it was originally scheduled for Sept 2020 at a venue) but I wanted to say what an fabulous and wonderful DJ that Lori is. Our wedding plans were interrupted during COVID but long story short, Lori was point on with everything. Between changing our wedding date twice (because of the pandemic and understanding that we needed to keep our wedding small and at home versus our original plans at our paid-for venue) and understanding how stressed we were to go from 250 people at our planned venue to just 40 at my mom's backyard, Lori handled everything perfectly and worked with our disrupted plans several times and all with no problems. What a relief I found her! Thank you so much, Lori for everything you did for my husband and I! I highly recommend Lori for your wedding or any other event! More...

She really got the guests moving pretty early in the night, she even got the 20 and 30 years old there on the dance floor! We all loved how she handed out props throughout the night too. I even had her stay an extra 2 hours because everyone wouldn't get off the dance floor. I would definitely use DJ Lori again in the future and I know my friends would too. More...

Wedding DJ

My wife and I booked DJ Lori to help us host our wedding. To say we made the right choice was an understatement.

Lori was extremely communicative, helping us figure out the flow for the entire wedding reception from the moment we showed up, to the moment the lights came back on at the end of the night. Lori helped us write up a schedule, time everything perfectly, and also had wonderful ideas to help make the date uniquely "ours".

On the day of the event, DJ Lori coordinated with the reception venue and was able to get EVERYTHING done without having to ask a single question of the bride/groom as she had all her answers ahead of time. DJ Lori was set up and ready to entertain our guests the moment they arrived.

Additionally, DJ Lori was extremely receptive to in-the-moment changes throughout the night. Never once did we receive anything other than "Yes" from her. She would change songs, change volumes, move around the timing of things, just to make sure everything was perfect.

Not only that, DJ Lori came out from behind the DJ Booth and even got down on the dance floor! We loved that she had so much fun and made sure that every single guest we had, enjoyed their evening. DJ Lori was extremely sweet, kind, courteous, and brought the perfect amount of the "Chill" factor to our evening.

Planning a wedding is very tough, but if you're looking for an event DJ, DJ Lori is absolutely the way to go. She'll take the entertainment of your guests as her personal mission and no matter how high your expectations are -- she'll beat them.

5000 stars out of 10. My wife and I look forward to working with DJ Lori again in the future.

Lori is a very genuine person. She helped us every step of the way including several of my wife's surprises during the ceremony. She was so professional and committed to us that she drove out to the venue on her own accord to make sure she knew the facility. She is very kind, patient, which was needed in our case with a large bridal party. We would recommend her over and over again. If you want a person who cares about you and your ceremony and wedding reception going well, chose Lori.
Sincerely,
Chris and Kim Jurs

OK, this is a little early in the process since the actual event is in December; however, so far I have nothing but positive things to say about our interaction with her. One thing that struck me early is how thorough she is. That is a hallmark of a seasoned pro. Her pricing reflects her offered packages from extremely elemental to abundanza! Of course, at this point performance remains to be seen so I cannot comment about artistry or the mechanics of putting on a show, but if our experience to date is any indicator, I haven't a worry in the world.

Very nice, thank you, James :) I believe you will be happy with the job I will implement for the holiday event coming up in December. I look forward to working with you and your fellow workers!

Q&As

Several factors, actually!

It starts with the preplanning stages, working directly with DJ LORi, who is your hired DJ (no substitute DJ, or last minute changes, ever!) and finally at the day or evening of the event, with the right energy of music and choices of music, whether it is today's hits like EDM, Dance, Hip-hop, Trap, RnB and more, (which is her specialty, by the way), or your favorite era music like Retro, 70s-80s-90s and Alternative Rock, 80s and 90s Dance and Hiphop, Old School House music of the 80s and 90s , Freestyle and Heartthrob, 90s Techno, Disco and Funk, Motown, and more, since she has lived through the decades and actually knows all this music because she actually spun it back then! Her three decades of being a DJ in the nightclub scene carries with her extensive knowledge of the music :)


First, it starts with working directly with the client on the pre-planning details prior to the event date. Knowing what music the clients want, (which is the #1 important factor, of course), and tailored to their event specifically, (since we all know that no two events are ever alike, at all), and DJ LORi keeps contact through emails and phone calls. Creating an itinerary and time schedule of the private party or corporate event is the key to organizing the event, plus weddings are treated with much more details, as well, given that time management is very important to keep the flow of the ceremony and reception on key. Communication with the client and venue manager on details is an absolute must, of which is a crucial part of preplanning, too, and working directly with DJ LORi, so that there are no guesswork as to what to expect for your event. Vendors, such as venue mangers, photographers, videographers, caterers, etc. are, then, contacted the week of, regarding DJ setup, loading and more, and given the planned itinerary to all vendors ahead of time, which helps to keep the communication flowing flawlessly, without any potential problems.


Secondly, once DJ LORi has established all this, the day of the event, DJ LORi is ready to get the party started with the right dinner and cocktail music (if needed): upbeat yet not over-emphasized nor loud cocktail music, plus low key, yet not boring nor sleepy dinner music. And, finally, the real party begins when everyone is ready to dance and have fun!


Please read further in the next questions for more details about her personal fabulous style and how she is really different from others DJs :)

Keep the music flowing with her flawless club-style turntable mixing full of energized music, DJ Lori alternates your choices of music to keep that fresh appeal of dancing expected, all without the same boring and overplayed tunes you hear at every other function. Mashups and samples are added throughout her set, which really adds an unexpected but totally cool appeal, and all without that obnoxious mike talking over the music (the music makes the party, not the DJ screaming into the mike, right?).


Requests are greatly encouraged, of course and actually are fitted into the playlist of the evening, which is another plus of DJ LORi's success. As we all know many DJs do not like to take requests, which beats the one purpose of the party since the party is catered for all to have fun, right? But, DJ LORi happily accomplishes requests, because she knows it is important to please the crowd, as well as the clients :)

Everything! Which is why DJ LORi is still spinning, for over 33 years, and continually winning awards for her style and excellent rated quality service ;) Between having the opportunity to work directly with clients, to spinning the music and creating a unique style that surprises people and blows their mind on the fresh style heard through the music being spun, and ultimately watching everyone have fun, what more can a DJ ask for!

Back in 1984, the single fact that there were absolutely no female DJs, at all, was a start! Plus, DJ LORi's own entrepreneurial mindset of wanting to stand out from the boys and create a party with the female mind in check was a huge factor, as well :) But, overall, her intense love of nightclub music, particularly House music, was her true calling, as well as her diversity of love for Pop music and her favorite era music, Disco, Funk and Hiphop. Working with people is another part of her outgoing personality, as she is a people person who loves to meet new people and make happy memories for people.

One reason alone! She is award-winning for a reason. Her style, her genuine and intense desire to make sure she delivers a flawless and excellent quality service of music, and the fact that she actually cares and communicates fully, regarding each and every party, treats you like royalty and treats your event with the upmost service you expect for your hard-earned money.
