    Alex from 3rd Shift was a phenomenonal vendor to work with. He took all of requests to heart and crafted a perfect soundtrack for our reception. He took the time to listen to our ideas and help them take shape, and he made sure all of the logistics went smoothly with announcements, speeches, etc. We had a small party, but the dance floor was full all night! Many of our guests commented on how awesome he was, and everyone had a great time. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend working with him!

    I could not recommend a company more for your special events. Alex not only was a phenomenal DJ, but he served as our officiant as well. As an officiant, he took the time to get to know my fiancé and I to make our ceremony personal and memorable. Multiple guests thought we had a personal relationship with how well he spoke to our relationship during the ceremony. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail and magic Alex brought to the biggest day of our lives. We will forever be grateful to 3rd Shift DJs for making our night a dream!

    Danielle, this truly warms my heart. All of our team worked really hard to make your day everything you dreamed of. Molly & Mentor put everything into your ceremony music & I am so glad that your people loved the job I did as your officiant. You & Kyle are amazing people and I’m excited for our next party together!

    My daughter hired 3rd Shift Djs for her wedding 5/16/25. Not only did Alex act as Dj he also was the officiant, provided sound and lighting and even had a 2 person instrumental perform for guests as well as play special selections for the bridal party and bride as they were escorted down the aisle. From the first phone call to the last dance Alex was amazing. So many people complimented us and inquired about his service further proving what a great choice we made. I highly recommend them for any celebration!

    Christine… WE DID IT! From the first time we spoke, I knew that we were going to be a good fit for each other. I was truly honored to have acted as the officiant as well as the DJ for Danielle & Kyle’s BIG day. It sounds like there’s some other parties that we might be celebrating together as well. I can’t wait for the next one.
