    Alex is an absolute phenomenal DJ, officiant and human! We couldn’t have asked for a better one anywhere else (and one that communicates). He brought light humor, great conversation and a really good time to our wedding! My husband and I highly recommend Alex!

    3rd Shift DJs were a fantastic addition to our wedding day! Their communication leading up to the event was great - they were timely, helpful, and insightful in addressing all of our questions and needs. On the day of, Matt was communicative, fun, and truly helpful in keeping the energy high and making sure the music and timeline flowed seamlessly. He assisted us with time management throughout the reception and was attentive to playing songs requested by our guests. We would highly recommend 3rd Shift DJs to any couple looking for an experienced, professional, and personable DJ team to help make their wedding day a success! Our guests LOVED 3rd Shifts DJs work as we are still receiving compliments!

    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!
