An Absolute Party Starter!

DJ Rio (Jalen) is an absolutely INCREDIBLE DJ for those looking for someone special to get the party going at their event. He puts so much care and attention to detail into his work ahead of the event, sitting down with each couple to ensure he understands the vibe they're going for during each and every portion of their day. He brings all equipment, lights, sound, etc. and absolutely knows how to set the vibe for every moment. He's also just a great person and fun to be around. I promise, your guests will not want the party to end!

Dj rio wedding dj

DJ RIO (Jalen) was incredible to hire for our wedding DJ. I told my wife that the DJ would be the most important vendor at our wedding. Throughout the process from start to finish, DJ RIO had impeccable attention to detail. He even scheduled two 1 hour sessions with my wife and I to discuss minute by minute of our wedding. From guests arriving all the way to the end of the night. DJ RIO is the top tier option for your big day.
