Can't recommend enough

Going into the process for the first time (obviously) we had a hard time assessing DJ's for our wedding. You can get a general sense from reviews of whether someone has done a good job and is experienced, but I don't think you can get the full picture of Josh's abilities from those.
He sets up your personal event website which allows you to easily plan your event out, from what songs you want to walk down to the aisle to, to what songs you want at cocktail hour vs. dancing. He lets you give guidance on when to start and stop each of the songs at the key events, but also gives recommendations on when to do so, and he generally has the best plan.

He also honored our request to wear a tuxedo for our Old Hollywood glam theme, and had the time to take some phone photos at key moments even while he kept the music rolling! He was extremely organized and kept track of the schedule and made sure to track us down for the few times we weren't on the dance floor to make sure we were ready to proceed to the next scheduled event (like a Greek dance!).
In summary we felt he did a terrific job balancing our wishes and vision with his suggestions from his vast professional experience. In his words, "A lot of DJ's can play a great set, but this is your day and your wedding".

Organized, fun and professional DJ

Josh DJ’d our wedding in early June. Working with Josh leading up to the wedding it was clear he was a very organized and experienced professional. He had a great portal that allowed us to create “preferred” songs for cocktail hour and dancing. We had a very detailed meeting before the wedding that made us very confident in him. At the wedding, Josh figured out how to add on an extra hands free microphone we had brought last minute for our officiant as well as a wireless mic for us to say our vows. Josh also went above and beyond and was willing to MC a trivia game for us (which we did in lieu of speeches) which ended up being so fun! During the dance party, Josh was very in tune to the vibe of our guests and played the perfect songs (even outside of our requested songs) and made our dance party the most fun! We had very briefly considered just making a playlist instead of hiring a DJ but Josh picked excellent songs based on the atmosphere of the crowd (which a playlist obviously can’t do) making it so much more fun. Josh also was essential in managing the microphones and sound for the ceremony and the overall flow of the wedding. Hiring a professional DJ, and more specifically Josh, allowed us to relax and not worry about those details on our wedding day. Josh also took a ton of pictures and videos for us throughout the night and sent them to us after the wedding! This was such a special touch and so great to have more photos while we wait for the photos from our photographer. We are so happy with how our wedding turned out and would absolutely hire Josh again!

Best Wedding DJ Ever!!!

Josh is a phenomenal DJ. We hired him for our wedding and the event was hailed as (not just one of the best weddings) but as one of the best parties our guests had ever attended. Josh took our music preferences and added to them, making our reception incredibly high energy and fun. Pretty much everyone was up and dancing the entire time.

In terms of organization, Josh is incredibly attentive and communicative. He learns about you in order to run your event perfectly tailored to who you are and what you want. The entire process was very personalized and we felt very taken care of.

We highly recommend Josh for any event you need DJ'd.
