    Best DJ in central New York region

    From our first conversation, Chris Johnston made it clear he genuinely cares about getting to know his couples and their music tastes. He nailed our vision for the reception and kept people dancing all night—seriously, no one sat down! What impressed us the most was how he mixed songs that worked for everyone, from our grandparents to our friends, and everyone had a blast. Our guests are still talking about how the music was 10/10, and we have to agree. If you want a DJ who is professional, fun, and actually listens to what you want, Chris Johnston is your guy. Just be ready for a packed dance floor the entire night!

    12/10 DJ - Hire Him!

    Chris is absolutely amazing. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding day was hiring him as our DJ. Not only did he keep the vibes up but kept the party and crowd going all night. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding he was so good at communicating, listened to all of our requests and concerns and made sure to ease our minds at every turn. We truly could not recommend him enough. He made our wedding so fun, so incredible and so memorable!

    Absolutely Amazing ... Hire Chris!

    My wife and I got married two days ago, and hiring DJ Chris Johnston was one of the best decisions we made. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. I could not wait to write him a review. Music was really important to us, and we have pretty eclectic tastes, with different genres and must-play songs we each cared about. I was getting a bit stressed during the planning process, but Chris was incredibly patient and easy to work with. After meeting with him, it became clear the best approach was to give him our key songs and overall vibe, then trust him to read the room, that turned out to be exactly right. Our wedding crowd was diverse in age and music preferences, and Chris handled it perfectly. He seamlessly balanced different styles and kept the dance floor going all night. In just the past two days, we've had people of all ages tell us how great the music was. This is just one example of many messages we've received: "I don't know who picked your music selection, but it was the best ever. It had a lot of our kind of music, then switched back and forth with the younger generation's music. Loved it!" What's impressive is that while he played our must-play songs, a lot of the night was driven by his instincts, and he absolutely nailed it. We're incredibly grateful for his role in making our night so memorable. If you're considering a DJ, book Chris, you won't regret it.

    The Best of the Best!

    My husband and I got married in May and had the wonderful experience of having Chris as our DJ!! Working with him leading up to the wedding was so fun and easy-going. Anyone planning a wedding will know how stressful it can be, and Chris made the process so easy. His personality is fantastic and made the day so fun. He really set the tone for an amazing night. We had Chris for our Ceremony as well as our Reception (highly recommend doing both). We also included the Dancing on the Clouds add on for our first dance. It was absolute magic! We are so happy with the wonderful memories we have from the ceremony to partying on the dance floor. We are thrilled to recommend Chris to anyone and everyone! We couldn't have had a better experience.
