5/5 Stars [Wedding DJ] Carl made our wedding reception so fun. He played a great mix of music as people were arriving and throughout the meal, and then while dancing. The Barn Dance Segment was a blast! He led a bunch of fun group dances which got lots of people involved. Everyone had a great time. I would greatly recommend Carl because he brings an awesome attitude, attention to detail, and really wants you to have the party exactly how you like it.

5/5 Stars [Barn Dance for Rehearsal Dinner] May 4, 2024 We had Carl come to our Friday night rehearsal dinner. We had people from very diverse locations/backgrounds and Carl brought everyone together in a fun, laughter filled mixer while learning 4 different square dances. By the end of the night there were no strangers in the group and it definitely carried over to the wedding the next day. Highly recommend Carl!

5/5 Stars [Wedding DJ] Carl was so great from the time of hire to the day of our wedding. Our guests had so much fun dancing and laughing as we did some interactive dances. He traveled all the way to Humboldt, CA just to do our wedding. He was very responsive via email, texts, etc, and had a great outline to follow for picking songs. It made the whole process so much easier than I expected. I am honored to have had the experience working with him. I highly recommend you hire him for your next big event.
