Bruce H.
Citrus Heights, CA 91 friends 25 reviews 5.0 star rating 6/4/2018 In a stressful time such as your wedding, DJ Kris really was a pleasure to work with. We didn't have time to build a playlist but he took care of it with some small tips from us. Event went great, I have nothing bad to say about him. The music was good, the lights were a plus, and he was very accommodating. Thanks DJ Kris!

Nov 16th 2019: If anyone is looking for a totally professional DJ that goes above and beyond for making your event spectacular, then DJ Matt is for you. He literally saved our wedding event from a last minute catastrophe. His mood lighting was totally unexpected by me but just set the stage for the memorable night that I will never ever forget. He kept the celebration going at all times. This guy knows his stuff about professionalism. I highly, highly recommend him......the best DJ I have ever seen in action. On a scale of 1 to 10 he’s a 100! Rock on Matt.....You’re the best!!!!!!!! Thank you. Marsha. Mother of the Groom
