Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Spike Events for our October wedding and Spenser was absolutely amazing! We had several meetings beforehand and he was on top of every concern we had. We had a wedding at a private residence outside, so electrical needs were tricky. Spenser was thorough in what he needed supplied from us and we were able to get the right electrical needs for both his sound system and the two arcade tables we rented. He also was such a fun personality to have around and added so much to the party! We have so many great photos of everyone up and dancing due to his skill of keeping things fun! He did a great job following our timeline and was very helpful in adding to it as needed when we weren't sure how to schedule things such as first dance, cake cutting and parental dances. We had aunts and uncles that I've NEVER seen dance, out on the floor tearing it up!You would not regret hiring this company! (Included in the review is the last dance of the night when everyone had gone home and my husband and I closed out the dance floor!)

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

DJ Dayglow DJed our wedding on 10/12/2024, and she was absolutely incredible!! The planning leading up to the big day was amazing, and Kara had a great way of incorporating all of our "must play" music while also making sure the vibe of the night was perfect at all times. There was a stark contrast between our slow dinnertime music and then our party dance music, which was EXACTLY what we envisioned. Everyone at our wedding agreed that it was the best music they'd ever seen at a wedding, and when I tell you the dance floor was full all night -- it is no exaggeration! On top of all of this, Kara is extremely kind and charismatic, and she did a wonderful job emceeing our reception. I couldn't recommend a greater DJ for your wedding (or any event) if I tried!

DJ Pat was a pleasure to work with for our August 2025 wedding! He was extremely prepared throughout the entire day and made sure to provide extra microphones, as well as extras to the extras, in the event they were needed. We shared with Pat that my mother has a tremor and he provided us with mic stands for the speeches so that she would feel completely comfortable the entire time. He transitioned our ceremony music seamlessly and thoughtfully, and never failed to communicate with us throughout the day as the timeline changed. Inevitably, our timeline fell slightly behind, and Pat was flexible with his set to keep people dancing for the entirety of the shortened reception.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Joseph and Erika! Our guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they have ever attended, and that was largely due to them! From start to finish, they were incredible: - Brought the party: The dance floor was full all night, and the energy never dropped. Erika is the BEST DJ the acoustic sing-a-longs were a highlight of the whole weekend. - Easy to work with: Communication was smooth, and they accommodated our requests effortlessly. The Vibo app and final call assured everything went swimmingly. - Beautiful ceremony music: The timing and song choices were perfect for every moment. And they provide mics for your officiant speeches! - Cocktail hour highlight: The acoustic set during cocktail hour created such a warm, joyful atmosphere. If you want your wedding to feel magical and unforgettable, Joseph & Erika are the way to go. We are forever grateful for the memories they helped create.
