Too Hot To Stop DJ & Photo Booth Service

Albuquerque, NM
  • DJ
  • Starts at $749

We are FuN, Affordable & Energetic!. . . . We really are! Our reviews will speak for themselves . . . . . They really do! I would love to talk to you in detail about your needs . . . . . I do listen :) I do this as a full-time profession so I can focus on your needs anytime. How about that :) We can work with you and your budget if you give us the opportunity.

On August 23rd a 20-Year Class Reunion took place at the Santa Ana Hotel & Casino. All the months of planning was in place for that evening. I had concerns a few days earlier when the DJ was not replying to my texts. On 08/22 around 6:00 pm I stopped by his business and called him requesting he call me back. On the morning of August 23rd I received a text (not a phone call) that the DJ “Got shot, in the hospital, won’t make it tonight.” (Keep in mind, apparently the incident was road rage. If this were true, every news channel in ABQ would have broadcast the incident because gun fire was involved; it never made the news.) I truly found this excuse to be bogus, and a very unprofessional way to get out of a commitment. You can only imagine my shock in reading the text. The event was taking place in nine hours and I needed to find a DJ. I went online and reached out to several DJs who took advantage of my dilemma by trying to price gouge me, unbelievable! I reached out to TOO HOT TO STOP and Max was more than happy to DJ our event. I provided Max with a Playlist and he did a phenomenal job playing the music requested. Max was punctual, professional, and very easy going when communicating with him. The Committee and I are so appreciative for all Max did to make the evening a success. In looking for a DJ, no matter the event, I would not hesitate in recommending Max. THANKS MAX!

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.

We had a fantastic experience working with Allen from Good Times DJ Service. His communication throughout the planning process was friendly, easy, and clear - he made the music selection process smooth by providing us with helpful forms to share our vision. On our wedding day, Allen brought so much fun energy and kept everyone dancing with his personalized song choices tailored just for us. He handled all announcements and coordinating with the other vendors professionally. Overall, Allen's services were a great value - he helped make our wedding reception personalized and special with his musical talents. We'd highly recommend Good Times DJ Service for your important event!

He is a rare combination of a skillful sound technician, talented musician, and an all around kind person. I came up with an extensive list of electronic (drum N bass and house) music and he executed it perfectly--the sound quality was phenomenal and I was watching guests dancing the entire time. He was able to seamlessly weave his music selections in and out of our playlists and it kept the crowd engaged and the night flowing. We are so lucky to have found Cali! I cannot recommend him enough.

This was the second occasion for which I used A Better DJ & Photographer. as always, the staff was very communicative, professional and engaging from the pre-event introductions to the event day. Everything about this evening was intentional; from the menu to the music and Xavier and Aubry exceeded my expectations in capturing my vision.

Modern Highway was absolutely FANTASTIC at our wedding! Their setlist of 80s, 90s, and 2000s hits had everyone on their feet all night. Christina’s voice is unforgettable, and their rendition of "How Far We’ve Come" by Matchbox 20, a song very special to our family, was particularly memorable.
