    Josh Kraus Music

    We truly could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Josh absolutely killed it from start to finish. He understood exactly the vibe we were going for and brought the perfect energy all night. The music was incredible, the transitions were seamless, and the dance floor was packed! He knew exactly how to read the room and keep everyone having the best time. Music was such an important part of our wedding, and Josh completely exceeded our expectations. We’ve had so many guests tell us how much fun they had, and Josh played such a huge part in making the night unforgettable. If you want a DJ who knows how to throw an incredible party, Josh is your guy. Could not recommend him enough!

    The Best!!

    Josh was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! He sang and played guitar during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and part of dinner, and all night long, people kept coming up to me to tell me how incredible he was. Then he switched over to DJing and kept the party going all night! He truly did it all and did it so well. We could not have been happier with Josh and would recommend him to anyone looking for a musician and DJ for their wedding. He was the best and made our day that much more special! Thank you, Josh!

    Josh is the best!!

    Josh is the best of the best!! We first heard him play, MC, and DJ at our friend’s wedding, and knew we had to have him at ours too. He is extremely talented, friendly, professional, and incredibly flexible and easy to work with. He also truly cares so deeply about each and every wedding he is a part of and is just a joy to work with. He made our reception SO epic and we could not stop hearing about how amazing the DJ set was and how much fun everyone had! Complete with a family Dance-Off and plenty of breaking it down. Josh even got out on the dance floor himself at one point!! We love you Josh and will never stop recommending you!!!

    Just wow!!

    I was so impressed with his singing and musical abilities when he played Guitar And sang prior to the wedding. Then I was doubly impressed when he was the DJ at the reception. I have never seen someone do both and do it so well. As a DJ, he didn’t just stand back and play music, he interacted with the group on the dance floor. What great talent!!

    Wish I could give higher than 5 stars

    Josh just did our wedding and lemme tell you he was PERFECT!! Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ/live singer. He’s got such an amazing voice and just the kindest soul We got SO many compliments on the music. Everyone was raving over him! He nailed every single song, the timings, the vibes, literally everything! He’s super responsive and helped me throughout the entire planning process which we know can be a lot 10/10 recommend Josh! We love him!


Formal attire
I do! I learn up to 3 songs for the ceremony and 3 songs for the first dances.
My passion, professionalism and the smile on my face. I am truly committed to giving you and your spouse the best day of your life by helping to celebrate your love.
I do take requests during my DJ set (assuming you have booked the live music/ DJ package)
I provide both! I can do one or the other or package them together.
I can provide Christian songs for the ceremony!
I am!
I like to take songs from the 50's through today and put an acoustic twist on them. These twists can either be very slow and romantic (ceremony) or very upbeat and poppy (cocktail hour, portions of reception) and I always have a smile on my face when I do it.
I arrive at least 1.5 hours prior to ceremony start time if I am hired for ceremony/cocktail hour only and I arrive 2.5 hours ahead of time if I am booked for live music/ DJ portion of the evening.
I only provide uplighting for my DJ booth.
Travel fee depends on how far I travel and break down fee is included in my quote!
They are priced into the quote!
