“We could not speak more highly of Luvdup DJs! Gemma and her team were amazing throughout the entire process. We needed DJs for three events throughout our wedding festivities. The vibes and music/genres were very unique for each event, but Gemma and the DJs we had for each event knocked it out of the park, far exceeding our expectations (shoutout to Ty, Kelton, and Kevin!). We appreciated how much care and thought was given during the discovery and planning part of the process. Gemma and the DJs took the time to understand our vision and fill in their expertise to whatever degree we wanted, without ever being pushy. This was important to us because for certain events we had a clear and specific vision (pretty much “play this playlist”) and for others we only had a high-level vision of the music/genres. We have to give a special nod to DJ Ty, who was the DJ through the main wedding reception (first dances, speeches, dance party): Ty went above and beyond in all ways. Beyond a superhuman sense of music and DJ’ing, he was humble, helpful, and keenly aware. He anticipated and proactively helped multiple members of the wedding party throughout the evening, and always focused on making it our best day, never drawing unnecessary attention to himself. Ty, if you’re reading this, you’re awesome. But seriously, everybody was amazing. Gemma, Ty, Kelton, and Kevin, thank you for everything! 10 stars.”

“If we could give DJ Chamber Guy more than five stars, we would. He was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the beginning of the planning process through the last song of the night, Kyle was INSANELY AMAZING. Working with him leading up to the wedding was fun and easy. He uses an app called VIBO, which made the planning process simple. We could add all of our song choices, select the exact versions we wanted, record important details, and add songs to our playlist from our phones whenever inspiration struck. It was incredibly convenient and made communicating what we wanted so easy. Kyle also handled the lighting for our ceremony space, and it looked incredible. At one point we got nervous that we hadn’t ordered enough lighting, and Kyle and his team were able to easily add additional lighting to our package for a very reasonable cost. The extra lighting they recommended was PERFECT and made such a difference. He also provided sound for our outdoor ceremony, which was far away from the reception space. He had everything needed to make that work flawlessly, and we didn’t experience a single glitch or hiccup. He made sure our ceremony exit was perfectly timed and synced with our song choice, our reception introductions were AMAZING and perfectly timed, and he edited our first dance and parent dance songs down to the absolute perfect moments of each song. Every transition felt intentional and seamless. Kyle didn’t just DJ our wedding, he guided our guests through the entire day. He knew exactly when to make an announcement, how to keep things moving, and how to create the right energy without ever taking over the moment. Then we got to the reception and saw his setup. HOLY. SH*T. It looked like we had hired a real-life club DJ. The turntables, sound system, equipment, the entire setup was SO impressive. Then we noticed the digital display he had customized specifically for our wedding with our Harry Potter theme incorporated into it. It was such a thoughtful, personal surprise and blew us away. THEN came the dancing. Our guests were simply not worthy of the talent Kyle brought to that dance floor. He played banger after banger all night! Not just the songs we requested, but incredible mixes that he had created himself. At one point, he dropped a mix featuring the Bill Nye the Science Guy theme song, and suddenly every millennial in the room was transported back in time. People were jumping, fist-pumping, and screaming “BILL! BILL! BILL!” Then he pulled out a Law & Order: SVU theme song mix and the entire room absolutely LOST IT. We HAVE to mention the Harry Potter dubstep mix he made. We went completely NUTS for it. It was everything we could have wanted for our Harry Potter wedding and even better than we imagined. This was the third wedding in our family this year, and Kyle was EASILY the best DJ. His talent, professionalism, creativity, communication, attention to detail, and ability to read a room are on another level. We cannot thank Kyle and his team enough for making our wedding so much fun and giving us a night we will never forget. If you’re getting married and considering DJ Chamber Guy, BOOK HIM. Kyle — thank you for absolutely CRUSHING IT. You were incredible, amazing, phenomenal, outstanding… honestly, we’ve run out of adjectives. 10/10. 5 stars. No notes.”

I make sure every guest feels included and engaged from cocktail hour through the final song. I focus on smooth transitions, natural energy, and zero cheesy mic work. I provide professional sound, immersive dance-floor lighting, uplighting, and a photo booth guests love — so you can relax and fully enjoy an unforgettable night.

“Booking DJ Ore was one of the best calls we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to the last song at 1am, he was on top of everything — quick to respond, organized, and genuinely invested in getting our day right. We got married at a camp in the Catskills with the ceremony out in the woods, which meant some tricky logistics: separate sound for the ceremony in the trees, load-in with the venue staff, a timeline that kept shifting on him. Ore handled all of it and we never had to think about any of it. The music was unreal, and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Our guests basically refused to leave it, and we honestly lost count of how many people came up to us throughout the night to say how good the music and the DJ were. The thing I'll always remember, though, is how he made space for my Tío to play. My Tío sang and played guitar, and Ore made sure he had everything he needed to do it right. He and Chris brought so much energy and just knew how to keep the room going. If you want a DJ who's professional, easy to talk to, and cares about your day, book him. Thank you for everything, Ore — you gave us a night we won't forget. Cannot recommend enough.”

His online forum was easy to navigate and use. We loved the uplighting and the audio guestbook (phone)!! Also I appreciate that he read and followed through with all the small notes we left for him (specifically we asked for father/daughter, mother/son and first dance to end after the chorus and not play the entire 3-4 minutes).

From the first song they played, people in our wedding party got up and danced - how could they not? It was non-stop dancing all night long. I highly recommend the O-Tones for your wedding reception if you love swing music. And even if you don't know if you love swing music - if you are looking for a band that can get your toes tapping and get everyone out there on the dance floor - young and old - this is the band for you. I can't recommend them enough!”

“Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.”

“DJ Steff was fantastic — we got compliments from guests of all ages all night. He was responsive, organized, and flexible; when we decided last-minute to skip the shoe game due to golden hour timing, he adapted without any fuss. The ability to submit must-play, play-if-possible, play-if-requested, and do-not-play lists separately was a great touch, along with the complimentary dance floor lighting and photo booth. Our guests raved about what a great DJ he was too. One of them even said “I want to get married again just so I can hire your DJ”. Highly recommend!”

“5 stars isn’t enough! We loved working with Shawn! Everything was flawless. From the start he was professional and so very accommodating to our nonstop questions and changes. I appreciated being able to add notes and make changes to his online form whenever we wanted. It made life so much easier. Our dance floor was full from the end of dinner until the very last song. Our guests absolutely loved the photo booth and had a blast. They had many props! Shawn did exactly what we had talked about and had hoped for on our wedding day. It was perfect.”

Nathan was easy to work with from the start—his survey was detailed and made it simple to share exactly what we wanted. He listened to our ideas and really understood our vision, whether it was the DJ selections or the photobooth setup. Our dash photo experience turned out amazing because of his energy and the music he chose for the moment. The photobooth team was on top of everything, making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. What stood out most was seeing Nathan genuinely enjoy himself throughout the night—that kind of enthusiasm is contagious and made our whole celebration feel more fun.”

“Lucas was recommended to us as "the DJ you want to hire if you want someone you can trust to keep your dance floor full and to read the crowd to keep your party going," which immediately appealed to us. We live in Brooklyn, and got married in the Catskills, and found out that Lucas also DJs regularly at some of our favorite spots in Brooklyn. From our first contact with Lucas, he was responsive, kind, interested in getting to know us and our taste, and super professional. We connected on a personal level as well as on a musical one. Now, having had Lucas DJ our wedding and supply all of the audio equipment, we can't recommend him highly enough. The audio for our ceremony and speeches worked without a hitch (he also helped to professionally feed our ceremony audio/music into our livestream setup), Lucas knew exactly the right moments to take cues for music, and when the dance party began, he played great music that totally matched our vibe and tastes, and as promised, he kept the dance floor full all night (no small feat, especially because we downsized our wedding to 60 guests). In addition to being an excellent DJ, he's also a great guy to be around, and on your wedding day, it's really nice to feel like you are surrounded by people you want to spend time with. Multiple people came up to us to ask about Lucas during and after our wedding, because he was that exceptional. Hire him and you will be so glad you did! Couldn't ask for more in a DJ.”
