Good Times DJ Service

Albuquerque, NM
  • DJ
  • Starts at $700

Hello, my name is Allen. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about the past, present, and future of my passion for music. My first DJ event was in 2010 when a couple of my friends wanted to have a New Year’s Eve party. The opportunity of using a friend’s professional DJ equipment came about. The rest is history – I haven’t stopped since! I am constantly learning more and more each day and having fun while doing it. I’m like a kid on Christmas morning when I purchase a new piece of DJ equipment or get butterflies when someone books an event. I love playing music! Especially playing music people like.

“From our first conversation, Good Times DJ Service made it clear they understood what we wanted for our reception. The DJ showed up organized, stuck to our timeline, and kept the energy high all night long. He read the room perfectly and knew exactly when to play our favorite songs while letting us have control over the playlist. What really stood out was how friendly and professional he was throughout the whole process—he genuinely cared about making our reception fun for everyone. The communication leading up to the wedding was thorough and helpful, which gave us peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ, and we'd highly recommend Good Times DJ Service to any couple looking to keep their guests dancing.”

“Having a live band at our wedding was our top priority. We first went to a showcase for DEB, and immediately loved the vibes! We hadn't met or seen every member of the band in person before the wedding, so we weren’t sure what to completely expect day-of, but they kicked things off with Talking Heads (a nod to the jam bands we'd mentioned on our preference sheet) and it was perfect from there. They played almost every song we requested and kept everyone dancing the entire night, which honestly felt effortless on their part! What really stood out was how flexible and fun they were, rolling with our ideas while still bringing their own energy to the celebration. Our guests are still talking about the band days later!”

“We cannot say enough amazing things about Erica! She played during our dinner reception and was truly one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding day. My husband and I loved her, our guests absolutely loved her, and she provided the perfect entertainment during the dinner hour—elevated, engaging, and so beautifully curated. She completely brought our vision to life. The music was thoughtfully selected, fit the atmosphere perfectly, and added such a special energy to the room without ever overpowering the moment. On top of her talent, she was wonderful to work with from start to finish—professional, kind, prompt, and so detail-oriented throughout the planning process.
