I had 2 zoom calls with him and he was open to having another one if necessary (it wasn't necessary). He has amazing playlists you can pick from if you're hitting a song-wall, which is really helpful. I added several of my own songs, including some songs that are not as well known and controversial (lol politics) and he didn't care, which was super important to us. He also offers lighting services + a cool shoe game template that we took advantage of. Book Love & Light!!!

We also used the screen on the DJ booth to show photo slideshows, which was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

At the bridal show in 2013 at Wilson College, and on phone, I was promised a "fun" wedding. THe DJ…read more(Corey Shetler) shared he was doing this for 21 years and most weddings are the same. He would be involved, bring props, participate in leading the congo line, whatever we wanted! Well, I was tremendously disppointed and would never use them again. Let me share why I (the bride, groom, wedding planner and other attending the wedding) were dissatisfied at our wedding in 2014. 1) DJ was drinking (A family friend and the bride observed the DJ drinking) - how unprofessional is that (4 drinks - at minimum) and it was a strong alcoholic lemonade). 2) DJ did not play songs requested (I, Mother of the Groom and the Bride had to continuously go up to the DJ to remind him what we wanted, what songs, we wanted the conga line, etc). as GUESTS WERE LEAVING. It was NOT a fun wedding - despite the list of fun music I provided. DJ couldn't find songs in his box of cd's. Bride was very disappointed. 3) We were promised props - I had to go up and remind the DJ about them - he forgot all about them he said (because he looked a little "glassy eyed, perhaps)? 4) DJ was not interactive - with the crowd - as he promised. Instead, he was like a shy, puppy dog in the corner. WE had to constantly ask for everything that we had previously given him a list to do. 5) Mother of the Bride MISSED completely the Bridal Dance and the Grooms Dance (which were a flop as the DJ did not encourage people to go up, dance and have fun). I had to be checking my list and asking the DJ to do just about everything. The stress added to me was tremendous and certainly unprofessional and unacceptable. What a disappointment this service was. This was my one and only son, and the music/dj were a "not was was promised at all". Guests, friends and family commented and were disappointed as well. I asked for a phone call, email or something to discuss this, like grown adults.. The DJ hung up on me when I did reach him. If he had some terrible life event, that caused this mayhem, I could have understood. But no response whatsoever, pushed me to share this review. Goodluck and my advice, find another DJ service.

TriState Event Planning Services owner/planner sent a PayPal link with the invoice of the remaining…read morebalance, I made the payment per the amount in PayPal but paid her twice by accident giving her a tip nearly $1000. I immediately noticed her of the mistake she agreed to reverse the funds. However, a revised invoice was submitted to me 2 days later after I left multiple messages via email, voicemail and text stating additional cost have been added and she is only returning partial funds. I stated to her that isn't how business is conducted and she doesn't decide how the customer money should be distributed without the customer's permission. Prior to doing anything that supersedes the set budget a company reached out to the customer and in this case she didn't; the additional cost was unclear. I asked the the owner to contact me to go over the revised contract in detail and waited for her call, she text and threaten legal action if I pursue anything. The initial contact was a estimate of cost with the understanding my set budget. I had no issues paying the PayPal amount, my issue is she decided to keep the overage and incorporated additional cost. There was over 300 balloons ordered but only 5 or 6 inflated, the food was burnt, I handled the events except for 1 by myself but she billed for additional hours. In the end she should have reversed the overage as agreed and we could have negotiated a price difference. Poor business practices erases the integrity of a business. She posted pictures from my daughter's party as though we were happy with her company's services. Wow!

I cannot say enough great things about the DJ Connection. J.D. made our wedding perfect from start…read moreto finish and took all the stress away from the day. When we were preparing for the wedding, he was very careful to make sure he knew what we did and did not want to have at the wedding (specific music, games, etc.). When he arrived on the day of the wedding, he made everything flow so smoothly. He would find my husband or myself a few minutes before an event (first dance, toasts, cake), then make sure we were ready before starting. He picked us up a few drinks throughout the evening since we were busy with our guests. He did a great job of judging the dance floor and playing music to keep the party going. We ended up adding an extra hour to our reception because everyone was having so much fun! J.D. and the DJ Connection made our wedding so perfect. If anyone in the area is looking for a DJ, I would highly recommend this company! Thank you for the wonderful day!

During a phone consultation before the event, they helped us establish a timeline for the evening, and then coordinated with our venue and catering group to make sure it lined up. Then, on the night of the event, JD was AWESOME. Before we knew it, it was like he was the event coordinator, making sure the caterers were ready to proceed with dinner before we were announced, checking to make sure he hadn't missed anything we needed or wanted before our last song. And in between, he had every. Single. Person. Dancing!! Our guests said they'd never been to a wedding where the dance floor was consistently full with every one of the guests! Everyone had a great time, and we've been singing DJ Connection's praises to anyone who will listen! Highly recommend.

Had a meeting couple weeks before the wedding.

As for the actual music, we sent a couple ideas what we wanted the night to be like in Kia couldn't be more perfect in his effortless djing and MCing. And Farzan was a tremendous add, I am so happy We have also had him to compliment Kia. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding could not stop raving about both of them. Also both of their extremely positive attitudes was a cherry on top- they were truly a huge part of the night and couldn't have gone as smooth as it did without them. I need Kia to make a playlist on everything he did because OBSESSED. My maid of honor getting married next year also using Kia also said she is now soooo excited to use you guys!
