“My now husband and I just got married on 02.27.26 and working with Chris was a dream. When it came time to plan our wedding, we always we knew we wanted a DJ who does things their own way and not a “traditional” wedding DJ/MC. From our very first touch point, we knew Chris was the one. His branding alone says it all — if you are looking for someone to just play the top 100 wedding hits and nothing else, then you’re probably in the wrong place.
Music is extremely important to us and was one of the top things that mattered to us for our wedding to create a certain type of vibe. We love all different genres of music but also have a special place in our hearts for EDM, for example. We wanted someone who would incorporate elements of all our favorite genres and mix it well.
We learned on our first phone call that Chris is a musician by trade, worked at Johnny Brenda’s booking shows and events for over a decade, and continues to share his love for music as an adjunct professor during the week and as a DJ on weekends. I say this because all of this was a huge selling point for us: Chris is someone who knows music and knows it well. He knows how to take someone else’s interests and song selections and build on top of that to tell a story. His passion is palpable from talking to him and we had so much fun chatting on the phone and geeking out about music.
This brings me to my next point: the collaboration process was extremely seamless and easy. He uses a tool called Vibo where there’s a schedule in which you can input song choices for each section of the night. He used this as the master list and when it came time for our final planning meeting, this really helped guide the conversation around the flow of events for the evening as well as other artists and songs we might be interested in. Chris had also worked at our venue (Philadelphia Distilling) before so he knew a lot about the run of the show and how the space worked which was incredibly helpful.
To say Chris understood the assignment is underselling it — he totally knocked it out of the park. Our guest list which ranged all ages was eating that playlist UP. Several people came up to us saying “I can’t believe he played Bad Bunny, this is the COOLEST wedding I’ve ever been to by far”. I honestly get emotional just writing this because all we ever wanted was to create something our guests would love and music is so essential to the environment you’re in, and Chris nailed it. 1000000/10 would recommend him over and over again to anyone looking for a wedding or event DJ that will listen to you, collaborate with you, and throw an AMAZING party that people will be talking about for years to come.”
