MTV Style Music Video Party
Let's take it up a notch-we can now play your favorite MTV style music videos from any genre or decade, adding a fun, nostalgic vibe to your dance floor
We had a great experience working with the Wedding Dj. Sean was super organized far ahead of time and the online planning tools helped us stay on top of things. Sean managed to keep a diverse crowd on the dance floor, from kids to boomers/gen Xers to millenials, and the back to back must plays at the end of the night was so fun!
The music was at the right volume so that we could carry on conversations, and the dancefloor lights were fun too! Your choice of a final song was so perfect and better than what we had discussed-our family took a video of that last dance song and it's so special to watch over and over. We our so glad that we chose you as our DJ!

"I highly recommend Sean! He did a great job of working with our pastor, guests, other vendors and wedding coordinator. In addition to providing the music, he was in charge of keeping the night moving forward and our wedding on schedule. I truly appreciated his thoroughness and his professionalism. He was a big part of making our day the success that it was. One of my favorite compliments that we received from our guests was, "I've been to a lot of weddings in my day and yours had the best music selection, hands down.""
– Rachel P
Sean was so easy to work with! He Set up several short zoom calls with us, as we were getting married in Iowa, but live in Texas. He made sure that all of our questions were answered promptly and that our wedding day ran smoothly. Our friends and family loved the photo booth and we got the images back super quickly. Thank you to the Wedding DJ, you made our wedding day so memorable !

Sean was the icing on the cake for our wedding day! He was so easy to work with and accommodating. Leading up to our wedding I was so all over the place- he was patient and prompt in getting back to me or waiting on me to get him the info I needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their special day! :)
