I just wanted to take a moment to thank Jason for the fantastic job he did as our DJ at our daughter's wedding! Jason was very professional and just a pleasure to work with! From start to finish, you truly made Alex and Sam's day extra special! The music was perfect—every song you played set the right mood and kept the energy high all night. We’ve received nothing but compliments from our guests about how great the playlist was and how much fun they had on the dance floor. You really knew how to read the crowd and keep everyone dancing all night! I think Breakin' Free from High School Musical was a highlight—Alex and Sam looked so cute; I couldn’t stop smiling! Thanks again for being such a key part of their celebration. The memories of that unforgettable dance party will be cherished for years to come. We’re so grateful Alex and Sam chose you to help make their big day even more special!

I chose Updos For I Dos because I wanted a "no-stress" experience: meaning, I wanted someone I could trust! They were very professional, listened to what everyone wanted, and made the process very smooth. We had one hair stylist and one makeup artist for about 7 people (including bride), and they finished right on time! I appreciated that my curls lasted throughout the whole event. Also, they pinned my hair perfectly for us to clip in the veil and for it not to make my hair fall out. Great job!

If we could give DJ Heath more than five stars, we would. He somehow managed to take the feeling my husband and I get when we dance together in our kitchen, carefree, happy, completely in our own world, and stretch it across a room of 100 people. That’s a kind of magic you can’t really teach. He read the crowd like he’d known them forever. The energy never dipped for a second. Every transition felt intentional, every song felt like it arrived at exactly the right moment. Our guests keep telling us they had the time of their lives, and honestly… so did we. On top of all that, DJ Topedo & Co made the planning process unbelievably easy. Everything felt organized and stress free, which was such a gift. Choosing him was one of the best decisions we made. If you’re looking for someone who brings heart, instinct, and genuine joy to what he does, 10/10 recommend DJ Heath.

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

Saroj was great!! He was super helpful leading up to the wedding, the app to choose songs and answer questions was super easy to use and James was awesome as the day approached. Day of, James killed it and kept our guests dancing all night long!

Greetings and salutation! I am a blue haired, tattooed geek girl wedding planner with a love of dragonflies & offbeat events! I have also been wedding planning since 2004. I haven't met a DIY project I can't wait to try, a scrapbook page I didn't want to make, or a cosplay idea I didn't want to put together. Watching all the different elements come together to make something come alive is fantastic. I approach all my events the same way. Helping a client pull together all of their puzzle pieces to make an event that is uniquely theirs is the best feeling!

Our wedding was going to be so simple, if you ask my husband. Tee-shirts. Taco truck. American Legion. Guests. Done. Even he had to thank Fran profusely for all of her foresight, thoughtful touches, and management skills. This was a second wedding for both with kids and exes on both sides. It went off flawlessly, thanks to Fran. Our wedding ceremony and reception were on consecutive days. She printed and framed ceremony pics to display at the reception. She kept an eye on tipsy guests and let us know about potential issues. She found seats for the guests who I had carelessly left off the seating chart. She picked up, deployed, and returned the table cloths and had special little decorations for our table. I couldn't possibly list all the things she did to make the day run smoothly and to make us feel cared for and loved. Thank you Fran. You almost make me want to do it all over again.

Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin was absolutely incredible!! He was able to impeccably capture the beauty and joy of the day. A lot of photographers we considered had beautiful photos, but the reason we went with Justin was because you could feel the joy come through the photos and it paid off! Justin sent us the high quality, well edited photos faster than I have ever heard any wedding photographer get pictures to the bride and groom and he made it very easy for us to share those pictures with family and friends. Not only did Justin deliver beautiful photos that captured the mood of the day, but he went above and beyond his photographer duties. When all of the bridal party was racing around with wet fingernails, Justin stepped in to help button the many buttons on my dress. When we were running late to get to the ceremony, Justin called the front desk at the venue to make sure our ride was waiting for us to get to the ceremony ASAP. I cannot recommend Justin enough!!!

DJ Ed was so accommodating in bringing our medieval fantasy cocktail hour to life. It perfectly set the mood I was looking for, and I was so happy that he was able to play our nontraditional music selections; thankfully he was able to use a Spotify playlist I had made just for cocktail hour. I received so many compliments on the music from my guests, and he kept them dancing for hours! But the one thing Ed did that I was most impressed with and touched by, was him picking the perfect next song when my husband was dancing with his daughter. Our photographer was able to get some beautiful photos of the moment, and we will be treasuring them for years. Without Ed's instincts and quick thinking, we wouldn't have those photos. I can't thank Ed enough, and I highly recommend you consider him for your DJing needs.
