“He is a MUST as a DJ!!! He went above and beyond to help us plan out our big day. We were planning from a different state, and he helped us plan every detail, even when it had nothing to do with the music. He was so kind, professional and his willingness to help make our day perfect was so appreciated. If you’re wondering about him… TRUST THIS REVIEW!!” – Nick and Samantha Schultz.

Listen to Married Couples

★★★★★

John is the absolute man Off the bat, John and his co-DJ, Noriel, were incredible. We couldn’t have been more lucky to have seen DJ by CJ setting up for a wedding while we were touring our venue. From our first interaction over the phone, it was clear John absolutely loves what he does. We were immediately confident he was the guy for the job, and we were right to be. I really do not believe that the experience, professionalism, and enthusiasm he brought throughout the planning process could be matched elsewhere. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to go with DJ by CJ. Nothing but gratitude and respect for a great experience, and a great master of ceremonies!
