Reviews for Portage djs

Recent success stories from people in the Portage area.
Ruben V.
DJ Lori was hands down the best DJ ever! She was so helpful from start to finish, and really took a lot of work load off of my wife and I. She was extremely professional, understanding, and energetic through our whole experience. She also made us feel so comfortable. She had the whole wedding dancing the night away with great musical transitions and sound/lighting. Highly recommend!
