Awesomeness!!!

DJPlayDAT (Craig) deejayed at our wedding in Corolla, NC in October 2019. While trying to decide on what to do for music (dj, band) for our indoor/outdoor evening reception, I listened to some samples of his work and that made my mind up right then and there. I'm so happy I made that decision!! Craig was awesome! He's very professional, personable and a lot of fun. My guests (of all ages) loved him! They danced, partied and had a really great time all night long. I couldn't have asked for more and would work with him again in a heartbeat. As such an important part of our day, he truly made it that much more fun and memorable. We really appreciated that!
