    Best DJ Ever -

    Absolutely the best DJ I could have imagined for my wedding. Adam was so responsive and professional through the whole booking process, he made my life so much easier. He uses a virtual platform to make it so easy to add song/notes/important details. It was just perfect. He also asked so many great questions and really tried to get to know us, which helped so much in the overall vibe of the day. When we go to the actual wedding, I don't think I even had to talk to him once (which is a GREAT thing for a busy bride on her wedding day) he was so on top of everything and when I did come to make a small change (the dance floor vibes were just too good, and we didn't want to play a previously discussed slow song) he pivoted immediately and everything was perfect. So many people have told me how great he was and I will 100% recommend him to anyone, for any event.

    Amazing!!

    Adam at DJ Shazam is hands down the best DJ we've ever worked with. From our first conversation, his communication was crystal clear and he responded to every question we had without delay. When our timeline fell behind during the reception, Adam stayed on top of everything and announced each event exactly as we wanted, keeping the night running smoothly. He brought such an outgoing energy to the celebration and kept the music flowing in a way that had our guests dancing all night long. We'd recommend Adam for any event you're planning!!

    Best Night Ever

    Adam (DJ Shazam) was absolutely incredible at our wedding. From the very first conversation, he was communicative, collaborative, and genuinely invested in understanding our vision for the night. He didn't just listen — he executed on every detail, bringing exactly the right energy and fun to every moment. As both our emcee and DJ, Adam made the entire evening feel seamless. He kept the night flowing naturally, read the room perfectly, and threw a party that had everyone on their feet. It was clear he put real thought and care into personalizing the experience for us, and it showed. If you're looking for a DJ who will truly collaborate with you, bring the energy, and make your reception feel like the best party you've ever been to, we can't recommend Adam highly enough. He made our celebration unforgettable.

    Best DJ EVA

    DJ Shazam (Adam) was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, he completely understood the vibe we were going for and delivered above and beyond in every way. We’re still getting compliments from our guests about how fun the evening was, how great the music selection was, and how much they loved our DJ. He truly made our day feel unique and unforgettable. The dance floor stayed packed, and we genuinely feel like our guests stayed late because the music and energy were just that good. Adam also uses a super easy app that made the planning process seamless. On top of everything, he was incredibly professional, personable, and easy to work with. We can’t thank him enough or recommend him highly enough. If we could do it all again, we absolutely would with DJ Shazam behind the booth.

    Best wedding DJ ever!!

    DJ Shazam was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! Our guests filled the dance floor for the entirety of our wedding, the energy was high, and Adam was the wizard behind it all. We could not have asked for a better dance floor experience - our guests were all raving about how amazing the DJ was! I definitely recommend working with DJ Shazam, and getting the lighting package (this really elevated the dancefloor!!). Thank you so much for the best dance party ever!

Suit & Tie!
Always! If we're not learning, we're falling behind. Spotify (and other music streaming) are such brilliant tools. They allow couples to share their unique playlist, curated somewhat by the algorithm, so that I can learn - and align exactly with - your vibe.
Yes! At the end of the day, music requests are up to you. You'll be able to communicate this via our planning form on Vibo DJ
Absolutely! In addition, I bring high-quality and reliable wireless microphones, as well as backups in the wild case that something goes wrong (99.9% of the time everything runs super smooth!)
Absolutely! Share the playlist from your streaming service of choice, or YouTube link, and I'll incorporate those jams from any culture. In addition, I will do research, scouring the internet to learn about the cultural staples to throw in a fun surprise here and there ;)
Yes! Every year I renew my General Liability Insurance and update my partner venues with the updated Certificate of Insurance (COI).
I arrive 2-3 hours early depending on the venue and how much equipment is needed in the package you book.
Yes. We have uplighting and photo booth in house, and have partners across the San Francisco Bay Area for crazy light shows, dancing on the clouds, LED screens -anything you can dream of!
