Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to be part of weddings, school dances, private parties, corporate events, and celebrations across North Carolina. The reviews below come directly from the people I’ve worked with and reflect their experiences planning and celebrating their events with me.
Wedding Reviews

Joey went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding DJ. The music was very important to my husband so he had curated pre-set playlist to give to Joey.

Joey took my husbands playlist for the different parts of the day (pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, reception) and expounded on them! The vibes were high the whole day. However, not only did Joey keep the music and energy going, he was also very helpful as a wedding timeline keeper/coordinator. Genuinely, I think he was more helpful than my day of coordinator from a timeline perspective. To top everything off, his prices are more than fair. I would recommend Joey 10 out of 10 times!

Not only is Joey one of the kindest and most charming people we worked with during our wedding planning, he went above and beyond every step of the way!

We had several calls with him and met in person over the year leading up to our wedding where he not only helped us with the music planning but actually offered really valuable general wedding advice that helped us make some non-music related decisions. At the wedding, he was an absolute star! He played a fantastic set with several genres that we had requested throughout the night. All of our guests said they hadn’t danced that much in years! Even when it rained for about 20 minutes, people were still on the dance floor having the time of their lives. There’s the proof that Joey is committed to giving all those feel good vibes you want for your special day. We absolutely loved working with him and without hesitation recommend him 100%!

Joey’s DJ Service was an excellent choice for our Durham, NC wedding! Joey was so kind and friendly from the jump, and we liked and trusted him starting from our consultation call at the beginning of planning our event.

Even at that early stage, Joey was already advocating for us to have the wedding we wanted, sharing tips on how to structure the day so we were able to set aside time for private moments of introvert connection during a very social, family-focused event. We ended up booking him to provide music for our entire wedding day, from pre-ceremony music (played while guests were arriving and taking their seats) through the ceremony (including microphones for the officiant and groom) through cocktail hour, dinner, special dances and toasts, and the dance party portion of the reception. Joey’s attention to detail, including making sure he knew which specific versions of the songs we requested we wanted to play, and which music lined up with specific points in the schedule of events, was unmatched. Joey’s client portal made it easy to share our music choices for all these different parts of our big day. He paid close attention to our playlists/requests for the dance party while also mixing in some of his own selections, reading the room and ensuring everyone had something to dance to; this was especially impressive given that our guests ranged in age from infants to octogenarians! He was also sensitive to the nuances of a big family gathering: My dad and I don’t have a close relationship, so my mom and I did a mother-daughter dance in place of the traditional father-daughter one. When my dad put in a song request later in the evening, telling Joey he intended to ask me to dance with him to that song, Joey pulled me aside to make sure it was okay first before honoring the request. My new husband and I loved working with Joey’s DJ Service for our wedding, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this seasoned professional to anyone planning a special event.

Joey was great all-around. He was super personable from the get-go which is one of the main reasons we chose him.

We were doing a Halloween costume wedding and he was happy to dress up in a costume as well and be a part of it all. He had great suggestions before and during the event in regards to our playlists as well as interactions with the guests. He did an awesome job taking our song list and mixing it so that we got all the best parts of songs and moving from one to another before it felt too long or hit parts that were too long/repetitive. I’d definitely hire him again and we had multiple guests compliment him after the event. A+.

Do yourself a favor and hire Joey for your next big event! Joey was very responsive and present throughout the entire process of wedding planning.

He worked with us to make a plan for the day of our event, and made sure that all details were discussed prior to the big day. In addition to standard DJ details, Joey helped us finalize our day of timeline. When it came to the day of, he had a set up for the ceremony, and a separate system for the reception. Microphones were provided, and he even took the initiative of setting up an extra speaker outside for our cocktail hour so all of our guests could enjoy the music without having to be inside. He worked so well with my day of coordinator and photographer on my wedding day to ensure that everyone was on the same page and the day went smoothly. Joey truly went above and beyond for us in more than one way, and I would without a doubt hire him again!

He gave us helpful wedding advice, worked very well with all our other vendors, and did a great job with the music timing. He even went out of his way to check on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. The meetings we had prior to the wedding were great and he incorporated everything we wanted. We highly recommend hiring DJ Joey!!

Joey was absolutely wonderful. He is a well-organized DJ who delivers exactly what he says he will!

My husband and I were really nervous about having a DJ that would talk too much at the wedding or be too “showy”, and Joey wasn’t like that at all. He was way cheaper than most DJs we found online, extremely helpful and organized in the “getting ready” process, and an absolute joy on our wedding day. He handled requests great and was so kind and attentive the whole day – truly going above and beyond, even bringing us water when we looked thirsty. I truly couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Joey for helping make our night perfect!

From the first phone call i knew with no doubt he would be the best, i hired him moments after because of his personality and knowledge. He made me feel i could trust his judgement, and the wedding day went so smooth and was sooo fun. Joey is good with direction of how a day should go and is very accomidating. His website makes it easy to set up your day how you want it, which was a plus. He also supplies mics for the ceremony and reception, he just has everything a couple could ask for. Thank you joey for such a wanderfull day! I could not have had a more perfect wedding. So if anyone needs a Dj, snatch joey up before he is booked, he’s your guy i promise.

Joseph introduced himself to us BEFORE asking for any deposits or contract signatures. He listened to what we were looking for and worked with us to get the best playlist for the age range of our guests.

One 19 year old, several in their 50’s and the rest in their early 70’s. More slow dances than fast. He also helped out the caterer and served iced tea when he saw the pitchers were empty! He even stayed after the reception had ended and helped clear tables. Joseph was fun and on top of everything. He even helped our photographer get some amazing shots (ours was her first wedding).

He arrives early enough to not have me stressing whether or not the entertainer will be late, he plays music that the residents enjoy and takes requests which is helpful. He’s also pleasant and responsive to emails! Not invasive at all with his set up – so perfect for a large or small event. Highly recommend.
