About DJ Nilla

Allen Smith

DJ Nilla

Making your big day the best day of your life is what I was born to do! I've DJed hundreds of parties since the mid-90s, so I know what it takes to help you throw an amazing party. If you are looking for someone with good energy, professional quality, and super responsiveness, then look no further.

DJ Nilla wears many hats and understands weddings from nearly every angle. Not only is Nilla a killer DJ, but he is also a pastor who has officiated many weddings, a father of four daughters (one getting married soon!), and, most importantly, your guide to keep the entire wedding running smoothly. With DJ Nilla, you’ll get pro-quality for mid-range rates. Habla español con fluidez y ha "djayed" muchas bodas durante su estancia en Perú, S.A.

    Great vibes and service!

    We hired DJ Nilla for our wedding and Allen absolutely knocked it out of the park. From day one, he was responsive to every question and genuinely excited to work with us. What really impressed us was how he took the time to check out our Spotify profiles to understand our musical taste before the big day. Allen kept the energy high throughout the night and made sure everything ran like clockwork, while also being flexible when our coordinators needed to adjust timing. He collaborated seamlessly with our entire team, which made the whole experience stress-free. If you want a DJ who actually cares about your vibe and knows how to get a crowd moving, Allen is your guy.

    Everyone had a blast!

    From our first conversation, DJ Nilla (Allen) put us at ease and helped to calm my wedding planning stress. He made our wedding day feel elevated and holy at the right moments but also kept it so much fun! We loved how he hyped up the crowd before our entrance, mixed in our favorite songs, and kept our guests engaged and amused. We got many compliments that the "DJ was awesome!" We highly recommend DJ Nilla for any couple looking for an upbeat, fun DJ who genuinely cares about making your day special. He was great!

    Amazing experience from start to finish! Super professional, easy to work with, and knew exactly how to keep the energy up all night. The music was perfect and everything flowed so smoothly. We got so many compliments from our guests — highly recommend!

    AMAZING

    DJ Nilla made our wedding reception exactly what we wanted it to be. From our first conversation, he was clear about what he could do and asked the right questions to understand our style. On the big day, he nailed the music selection and kept the energy perfect—he knew when to pump up the dance floor and when to dial it back for our exit. His hard work and enthusiasm were obvious throughout the night, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great he was. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ, and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about making their day special.

    Simply the BEST

    I would give Allen a million star rating. Allen was highly recommended from a friend who works weddings. She sees hundreds of DJs and Allen is her favorite. He works very hard to make your special event perfect! Allen was hired as our DJ but now considered a friend.


I do! I work with you to customize your vibe and style as much as possible.
Usually 2-3 hours before the first event
I do! All my parties are customized to your preferences and desires.

If we are a match, you book me as your DJ by signing and contract and submitting a deposit. 3. You build your playlist 4. I’ll contact your venue to get the details. 5. Second planning conversation closer to the wedding (30-40 minutes) 6. Remaining fee due one week before the wedding date. 7. Wedding Day - hopefully one of the best days of your life!
