We had a one rule for our wedding: Only choose genuine and authentic vendors who we could, and would, stay friends with after our big day.
Unfortunately for us, when it came to finding a DJ, we were in trouble because nobody we knew had any recommendations for us.
My then-fiance-now-husband, Nick, searched online and advertised at a few places. When DJ MoJoe's quote came back in a flurry of responses from various vendors, it stood out because of the cheesy, yet catchy name. I mean, who doesn't want to work with someone who has dubbed himself one who possesses "magical power"?! Also, because my husband's nickname since his freshman year in college has been "Wizard," I felt the universe was clearly telling us something.
We quickly found DJ MoJoe's website and were pleased to see he had posted videos of himself working at various events and weddings. His vibe seemed alright and he was friendly enough, so we sent him a message asking to talk with him about our wedding. Before we knew it, we had a date setup that involved DJ MoJoe coming to us, 60 miles away from his home, to meet us for coffee one night. We were already impressed!
When we met and talked about what we had planned for our big day, we quickly realized this guy was anything but cheesy. He was exactly what we were looking for - genuine and authentic. He was easy to talk to and laugh with. He was kind and open and listened to what you did and didn't want. It was obvious DJ MoJoe was committed to making our special day truly special. He understood we weren't just looking for a DJ, we were looking for a friend to entrust the soundtrack of our wedding to. And we found one.
And you know he's a genuinely good dude when your guests come up to you afterwards and comment on the cool stories your DJ told!
During the reception as we listened to music throughout cocktail hour and dinner, the groomsmen kept looking at each other with excited, but pained looks. You see, it was early in the night and the party was JUST getting started, and the music was already really, really good - almost too good. Nick and I were worried he was going to run out of hits! We both love to dance, as do all of our friends and family who were there. At one point, I turned to Nick during dinner and said, "I can't handle this. I need to dance right now!" The beats were that good.
But each song was met with more excitement from us, and our guests. It just kept getting better! The dance floor was packed all night - our main goal for the evening. And it didn't stop until the end when we, unfortunately, had to call it a night.
DJ MoJoe strikes that perfect balance between giving you what you want and reading between the lines. He listens to all of your ridiculous and conflicted requests, but also proactively fills in the blanks for what you didn't articulate. We didn't really give him a playlist, just a list of "recommended songs," and then we gave him full control of the music the entire night. And he delivered FULLY.
Our life as husband and wife just began that night. Thanks to the perfect chorus of beats laid down by DJ MoJoe, we now have an incredible and special memory to cherish for the rest of our lives. And we gained a wonderful new friend! We couldn't be more thrilled to have such a kind and talented man help us make our most important dance party - our first as officially becoming "The Wizards" - such a crazy, fun, bootie-shakin', hands-in-the-air, hyphy'd up good time!! read more
