DJ Shazam (Wilby) was an absolute treat to work with. During all the stresses (and excitement) of planning a wedding, it was amazing to know we didn’t have to worry about the music. Wilby knew how to keep the people dancing and constantly checked in to ensure everything ran smoothly.

Couldn’t recommend more!

Thanks for making our day such an incredible day

How do I possibly thank you for your amazing service!!!!I can only start by explaining how the day of my wedding went we had to change absolutely everything location wise which meant all the planning done with Wilby weeks before were not happening. . we were expecting a thunder storm , which ended up not happening .. eventually The space we were crammed into was not working and the next thing I know the entire party was dancing their hearts out outside, Wilby ensured the party went on no matter what the circumstance , he kmew the last thing i needed to worry about was where we were going to dance haha , he was incredibly adaptable and never showed any sign of frustration when we had to move everything outside!! Wilby you are amazing and to anyone looking for a Dj that will keep people entertained and on their feet please don't look any further.. this man knows exactly what his doing !!! More...

What a great and efficient team! Our house dance would not have been the same without them, they understand the guests really well and outdid our expectations. I would highly recommend!

11 July 2022

DJ Shazam was really attentive to detail and wanted as much information in order to make the day as memorable as possible. He also knew how to read the crowd and which music to play when. We ALWAYS had people on the dance floor and never a dull moment. We even got a full video of the day of moments not captured by the photographers / videographers which was so sweet to look at afterwards. Thank you Wilby and your team. More...

Used DJ Shazam as my wedding DJ on 07/05/2022 and was utterly disgusted by the service and the way he handled the stuff he messed up during the night.

He played the wrong first dance song and when he finally managed to fade out the wrong song and play the correct song he for some or other reason, restarted the song in the middle again. Hence double whammy for the opening of our dance floor. My husband and I was so embarrassed and the whole bridal party was disorientated because they didn't know when to join us on the floor. He didn't even apologized to us, just came with some lame excuse about the song skipped by accident.

He not only played the wrong song for the first dance, but when I had to throw my flowers he started to play "single ladies" after I explicitly said that I don't want single ladies as it is overrated. Finally, after I looked at him in disbelieve, he start playing the song that I requested. I don't understand why I had to fill out a form of 5 pages for my special request songs when he just goes ahead and plays what he wants.

We also paid for him and his son for food @R500pp because he was supposed to be his assistant for the night. Only his son was not there meaning I paid for no reason. Also no explanation for why his son did not show.

If it was not for the fact that he messed up two of my special request songs I would have given him a 5 star, because the music he played was actually good and the guests had a ball of a time on the dancefloor.

There are always two sides to a story....sometimes a third side which is the truth. At my arrival I informed the groom that I will be on my own as my assistant was in contact with two of his directors earlier that week. The photographers plug in their devices into my speaker and was shocked the first time, put onr speaker off the second. There was a glitch as Virtual DJ program jumped to the second song and when I faded it out, it uploaded the opening song on both drives. I walked over to the couple and explained what have happened and said I am sorry. After dinner the dance floor was openend with the right song. Most DJ's play 2 songs with the throw of the bouquet and removal of the garter. One with the announcement and one with the physical throw and removal. I played Single ladies with the announcement and the right selected song as requested with the throw of the bouquet. Two of the guests verbal abused me on the evening and I almost stopped the music to have the gentleman removed from my booth. The bad experience was not discussed with me before posting the review on Bark and my personal website. Afterwards I also told the bride that I am more than willing to refund the R500. It was out of my control and according to covid protocol. Afterward the wedding the couple recommended our services to other potential clients!

DJ Shazam played at our CPUT Hostell's formal dance. We gave him a list of songs that we wanted and he added top 40, trance, house and latin songs. The full blast music is what students enjoy and the pure sound, lighting, smoke and audio via microphones were awesome. It was the first in many years where all enjoyed the music and only had positive remarks about the DJ. We recommend DJ Shazam for any function or party! More...

Q&As

The preference and core songs / genre of the persons of interest as well as requests from guests get the party going all night long. The party bangers always show up somewhere during the party!

Diverse as I like to play a variety of music if I have a choice. Music that will force you to the dance floor.

Every opportunity to listen to music and to watch how the guests enjoy the music. Also getting the opportunity to meet people and visit up to 100 venues each year.

It is always a win-win situation if you can earn money while you live your passion / hobby. Music is my life!

Variety of music according to the client's preference. Add to that quality sound and lighting and they are 80% there in having the best party! I am professional and experienced from start to finish!

I keep my distance and guests write their requests in a book. If there is Wi-Fi available at a venue, the guests can send their requests via WA.

Services

It is important to have clear and crisp sound at especially the ceremony and reception. It is so irritating when guests can't hear what is said or announced.

Music at the ceremony, canapes and reception will be down toned in order for guests to hear each other and have conversations. It is so irritating if you can't hear what the person next to you or across the table is saying and then just nod your head....
Once the dancing starts the volume will pick up a decibel or two....recognising the fact that it is not a disco.
Music to your preference and requests from guests. Trust the DJ for mixing the songs in order to keep your dancefloor alive and kicking!

Different lighting options & smoke machine are available.
Some guests have not been dancing for a while and prefer a darker venue and the lights create a great party atmosphere! Some couples like to enter through the smoke screen...
