The Other Wedding DJ – Chris Ward

 

 

 

Hi, my name is Chris Ward and I love music.

I’ve been a touring drummer for the last decade with Pattern is Movement. I’ve had the pleasure to share the stage with artists like The Roots, St. Vincent, Dirty Projectors, Shabazz Palaces and tour all around the world. I’ve also been booking shows for years at Philly’s own Johnny Brenda’s. My life revolves around music and that is why I love to DJ.

 

You might wonder – what makes me The Other Wedding DJ?

Well, I’m not your traditional wedding DJ. I won’t be playing ‘The Electric Slide’ nor will I be bringing any props (see: inflatable guitars, saxes, etc) with me. The way I see it, I’m just hosting the best dance party you’ve ever been to and it just so happens to be your wedding. What does that look like? I’ll be spinning Motown, Madonna as well as TLC, Prince and Beyoncé just to name a few. All of my years of listening to and performing music has helped me hone the ability to read a crowd and when I’m spinning a wedding – my focus is to get and keep the party going.

 

So, when you hire me, you’ll get a DJ who is emotionally invested in your day. We’ll work together to figure out the songs you’ve got to hear on that special day as well the ones you do not want played. My job is to get everyone dancing from your Grandma to your best friend and I take that responsibility seriously!

Chris DJ’d our wedding and exceeded our expectations in every way. He brought the vibes, and we brought the energy. His musical background truly shows—he works closely with you to create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding. He also helped us with our ceremony, and his equipment was top-notch. Chris is a true artist who has mastered his craft, and we would absolutely recommend him!
Chris was an absolute dream to work with. We have a very particular music taste and he worked with us to make it fun for both us and our guests!! We even had a ska section of our party and he had everyone up and dancing!! People still talk about how amazing the music was at our wedding. He respected our must haves and had so many wonderful suggestions on what to play during every section of our wedding. His set up is also absolutely beautiful. The app he had us use to make our playlists was also super helpful. He was kind and lovely and everything we wanted in a wedding dj. Book Chris, you will not regret it!!
A friend told us about Chris and said he was one of the best DJs in the Philly area. We'd interviewed a handful of other and from the very first call, we could tell we were in great hands. Chris was so diligent and thoughtful about curating the vibe we were going for and understood exactly what we were going for. On the day of our wedding, he absolutely blew everyone away with how fun he made the dance floor. I couldn't recommend working with Chris high enough. Incredible experience!
Months later, we are still getting compliments on the music at our wedding- and it's all thanks to Chris! He was super communicative, thoughtful, and collaborative throughout the process, and really "got" the music vibe we were going for. His transitions and playlists were exactly what we were looking for. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough for your wedding!
My Wife and I got married this past month and had the most incredible and fun wedding. A huge factor in that was Chris's ability to get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there. Over the holidays, we saw tons of friends and family who had attended the wedding and had nothing but great things to say about how great the DJ and music was. Chris made the process prior to the big night super simple by giving him some recommendations/ songs we wanted to hear and letting him do the rest to curate the perfect wedding playlist. He cared about our vibe and how we wanted to have one long dance party all night, and he executed to perfection. We highly recommend and will be contacting him again for any DJ needs in the future!
My husband and I could not have been happier with Chris as our wedding DJ. We are really not into the typical wedding DJ vibe (cheesy, plays the same lame songs you hear at every wedding) and were searching for a DJ that would really work with us to bring our vision to life for our reception, and Chris did just that.
He was so great to work with and really listened to us about all of our must-play songs. He created a cohesive set based around our music tastes, while still finding songs that guests from all generations could dance to. The dance floor was full of energy the entire night! We received lots of compliments from our guests about the music. Even the staff at our venue commented that they had never seen a dance floor having as much fun as ours, lol!
Chris was so kind throughout the whole process, super communicative, and a true pleasure to work with. He's also a true musician and music lover which made all the difference in his set.
If you're looking for a DJ to make your wedding the best dance party ever, The Other Wedding DJ is 100% your guy!!
From our first phone call we knew The Other Wedding DJ, Chris Ward, fit his company name. That he was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding DJ. Someone who truly understands sound and how music can create a perfect ambience. And a month out from our wedding, we can confidently say Chris exceeded our vision.

Music is a very important part of both of our lives and Chris was able to skillfully and seamlessly piece together every second of our wedding. We felt very taken care of.

Chris's equipment knowledge is top notch, he made sure to have all the right equipment for the space. His extensive experience made for amazing sound and everyone noticed his talent.

His use of the app Vibo made this process so easy. We added songs for each segment of our day, and Chris was the thread that wove it all together.

Chris coordinated with the few live musicians we had to ensure timelines and sound were aligned well. Chris personally communicated with our day of coordinator to get everyone on the same page. For these many reasons our day ran so smoothly!

All of our guests mentioned how extraordinary The Dj was. From teenage nieces and nephew's to our parents in their 60s and 70s, and everyone in between, the vibe was right alllll night.

There's no one else we could picture to dj our wedding.
From our first phone call we knew The Other Wedding DJ, Chris Ward, fit his company name. That he was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding DJ....
Chris was the perfect DJ for our wedding. By the end of our first call, I could tell that he understood the value and importance of the music to our wedding. It was a collaborative effort that allowed us to put our personalities front and center throughout the day. We had broad license to choose the music we wanted at each stage of the wedding, but Chris applied his own deep appreciation for music and professional experience to ensure that the vibe was just right throughout. I don't think another DJ would have given the time and attention that Chris did. Couldn't recommend more.
It was a joy to have Chris DJ our wedding and he exceeded all of our expectations and hopes for our big day. Chris takes great care to get to know you and your vision for your wedding, and works with you to make sure the music reflects the people and vibe you want to create. He is very upfront and transparent about costs, timeline, expectations, and the process leading up to the wedding. He answers questions quickly and met some of our unique requests for our wedding with a smile and an eagerness to help. And he's a fun, interesting, and kind person. Couldn't recommend Chris more!
We can’t recommend Chris Ward (The Other Wedding DJ) highly enough! From the very first meeting, he was an absolute pleasure to work with: professional, easygoing, and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable experience.

The dance party was one of the parts of our wedding I was most looking forward to (besides actually getting married, of course), and Chris completely delivered. We built out our song preferences for each part of the night using the Vibo app, which made the process fun and incredibly easy. Chris has just about every song imaginable in his library. And if he doesn’t, he’ll find it. He was even able to edit songs to fit perfectly for our parent dances, which was such a thoughtful touch.

He also handled the ceremony sound setup for a small additional (and very fair) charge, and everything sounded flawless from start to finish. Chris gave us the freedom to express ourselves through our music and MC preferences, but when it came time to keep the energy flowing, he took charge and executed our vision perfectly.

Our dance floor was packed all night, and so many guests commented on how great the music was. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s talented, flexible, and truly cares about making your day feel personal, The Other Wedding DJ is the one.
We’re so thrilled we found Chris to DJ our wedding! He was the perfect fit and captured the energy and spirit of the day beautifully. We had an eclectic vision for our music — not the typical wedding playlist, but something curated to our unique tastes. Chris completely understood that and brought it to life perfectly. He worked closely with us, answered all our questions, and made the entire process so easy. During the reception he was great at reading the room and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. We truly can’t imagine the day without him!
Chris was the DJ for my wedding. My wife and I could not have asked for a better experience! Chris works closely with his clients to tailor the play list for every step of the wedding from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner, and dance party. He also has a special gift for knowing how to get people on the dance floor. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough!
Chris did an incredible job DJ'ing my wedding. He was super helpful with planning out all of our playlists and very communicative throughout the entire process. 10/10
Chris did an AMAZING job at our wedding. He was so easy to work with and carefully curated a playlist of our favorite songs and added his own touch to fit every moment perfectly. He kept everyone on the dance floor. I've never danced so much at a wedding. Highly recommend hiring him. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him! If I could give him 10 stars I would!

Chris was a joy to work with. He took the time to really get to know us as a couple and our music tastes. It is clear he is very passionate about what he does and just wants to create a beautiful atmosphere for his clients. He was able to adapt to our guest preferences during the wedding itself, keeping people on the dance floor well into the night. He also did an excellent job cuing our special dances and introductions. We'd highly recommend!
There is an impressive amount of artistry that goes into curating music for an event. You have to start by hitting the right notes, then adjust when needed – and then it’s on you, as the DJ, to respond to the crowd-wise shifts in mood and to also PREDICT those mood shifts prior to them occurring. You have to both know a crowd AND know so much about music – and you have to also know intimately how the two interact with one another, and how in a group setting the former may relish the latter but the former is still a really snobbish sort of date and thus will hate the latter if it’s not totally perfect. That’s all to say that the bar is high, and typically a DJ’s highest compliment is simply being ignored. Tough audiences, little glamour: This is the lot of your typical above-average DJ.

Unless, that is, you’re Christopher Ward, and your abilities are so obvious and your talents so manifest that you couldn’t be ignored even if you wanted to be. On July 5th, 2025, the day of my wife and I’s wedding reception, Chris shepherded our party along musically – and I know definitively that we could not have had anyone better at the helm, and that our night was so much more inspired because of him. Every contingent of wedding guest rained plaudits upon my wife and me for our pick (my WIFE's pick, to be clear) of DJ: moms, aunts, high-school buddies, work pals, jam-band-loving cousins, pop-obsessed 20-somethings. Everyone loved Chris – and everyone could see, from 6:00 p.m. to midnight the next day, that he was special, and because he was so special it made our reception that much more memorable in turn.

And it wasn’t just the music that Chris excelled at: He is also just an all-around good person and awesome guy. He spent HOURS talking with us on the phone in preparation (and he never made us feel bad for asking more questions). He went to great lengths to pronounce every one of our family members’ and friends’ names correctly, going so far as to ask for pronunciation recordings WEEKS in advance. And to top it all off, he acted as a wedding planner the day of our reception: He checked in with us, made sure we were following our schedule – and then he easily adjusted if we decided that the schedule needed some tweaking. In sum, I have no hesitation stating both staunchly and declaratively that Chris Ward is the finest DJ in Philadelphia. You need to book him, you need to snag him right now – because pretty soon he will be out of reach for all of us, his calendar will be filled for years in advance. Chris is a true talent, a true artist – and a true friend. So if your big day is coming up, save yourself from any more music-related stress and take my advice: You have just found your wedding DJ. You are not going to find anyone better, that much I can assure you!
The Other Wedding DJ was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Chris, the owner, was incredibly clear, prompt, and responsive throughout the entire planning process. He met with us twice before the big day to ensure we were completely comfortable and answered all of our questions. Chris provided excellent recommendations for the music and playlist, helping us set the perfect vibe for the our cocktail hour and reception. The quality of his work was truly the best - he was professional and kept people on the dance floor all night. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to be a part of our wedding. All of our guests raved about the playlist weeks after the wedding!
Chris was a joy to work with, and helped us throw the dance party of our dreams for our wedding! We wanted a slightly non-traditional dance floor with fewer classics and no line dances, and we did a ton of research to find a DJ that saw our vision and loved the music. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, gave tons of great recommendations, and even helped us navigate some music/dancing logistics. The dance floor was packed all night long and we are still receiving compliments on the playlist months later. I can’t recommend Chris enough!!
Chris was absolutely incredible for our wedding. Very organized from the start and asked all the right questions that we would not have known about otherwise. Took the time to even visit our venue over an hour away before the wedding to make sure setup would be right. And then finally executed everything perfectly when the big day came - most if not all of my guests commented on how great the music/DJ was. Highly highly recommend!
If music is important to you, Chris simply is your guy. He's like a walking music encyclopedia that can distill your tastes into the perfect event soundtrack. Working with him to curate a playlist for each section of our wedding was not only a breeze, but a genuine delight. We had a great time nerding out over our favorite bands, local shows, etc., and at the end of it all we were confident he had a deep understanding of our vision for the evening.

When it comes to the day itself, Chris is a true professional. He was at the venue early to set up and expertly managed the atmosphere from the ceremony through the reception. He exceeded our expectations for the dance party, cooking up a set that kept us and our guests glued to the dance floor. It was an absolute highlight of the evening.

Hands down, Chris was one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire him. I promise you won't regret it.
Chris!!!! We're about 2 weeks out from our wedding and can't stop saying how we had a perfect day through and through. Chris was an amazing vendor to work with from start to finish. The consultation and booking process was easy and informative and once booked, he uses an app where you organize the music by each section of the wedding (Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Dance Floor, etc.), it was super easy to use and made it fun to go through and add/remove music as needed. Every conversation we had with Chris was easy, fun and full of useful information! Chris is not only a DJ, but a real music lover, and a downright nice person, I can't recommend him enough. If music is an important part of your wedding like it was to us, then you can't do better than Chris. 10/10
We are so glad we hired Chris to be our wedding DJ! You can tell Chris LOVES music. Our music style is all over the place, but Chris was excited by the challenge. We were blown away by how he transitioned and synthesized songs to keep the flow going for our cocktail hour and wedding reception. He was truly always scanning the room and adjusting the music to the audience - all while still playing our favorite songs. We even had one guest approach us saying, "I haven't been on the dance floor at a wedding in 20 years and now I can't get off!" We can't recommend Chris enough!
When it came to deciding on the music for our wedding, we knew we wanted a DJ, and we knew we wanted that DJ to love music the way we do. We weren’t looking for games or any huge announcements, we just wanted a really, really good party, and Chris/The Other Wedding DJ delivered that tenfold.

From our first interactions with Chris over the phone to our wedding day, he was one of our most thoughtful, comprehensive vendors. He was so generous with recommendations for how to create the event we were dreaming of. And we immediately vibed on our music taste for the whole wedding—from guests arriving to the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance party, his playlist never missed. Honestly, I was having so much fun, I didn’t leave the dance floor for the entire reception (luckily my now-husband socialized for me, haha). It was one of the best parties I’ve ever been to, and we’ve had many guests tell us the same. Everyone was impressed with Chris. If you’re looking for a DJ who knows music, can read a room, and can make your event feel curated and seamless, don’t look anywhere else!
We absolutely loved working with the Other Wedding DJ! Chris was so patient and helpful throughout the planning process, and he was so much fun to work with. Not only did he do an incredible job emceeing our ceremony and cocktail hour, but he also brought down the house during the dance party! We'll be thinking about that day for years to come, and it'll be in no small part because of Chris, the Other Wedding DJ. We can't recommend him enough!
Chris is a fantastic DJ! Having him help us keep everyone happy and dancing was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. He helped us through the whole process of planning our music through the night, and was also extremely helpful in thinking through the flow of the night. When we got to the actual night of, he did a wonderful job of reading the vibe of the room in real time, and kept people dancing literally the whole entire time. We even got several requests for the playlist that he used after the fact! We cannot recommend going with Chris enough — you won’t regret it.
Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our very first call, Chris was clear, understanding, and patient in discussing our vision for the music and vibe of our wedding. On the day, he executed flawlessly, perfectly matching the mood and energy of our celebration with his song selections, including some really creative alternative versions of songs that fit the scene even better than the originals. The music was truly the best part of our wedding, keeping our guests on the dance floor all night long. I'd recommend Chris (The Other Wedding DJ) to anyone in need of an experienced, talented, and genuinely wonderful DJ to make their special day unforgettable.
Working with Chris was great! He was professional and personable, he proactively communicated every step of the way and helped guide us through the process. Not just the dance party portion, but every part of the event. He was essential in helping us stay organized and stay on track so everything could function smoothly. Plus the music was amazing and everyone had a blast! Would highly recommend!
To say Chris is an EXCEPTIONAL DJ is an understatement. Music is so important to us and we wanted a DJ that not only understood our music taste, but also understood the vibe we wanted to create for our non-traditional big day. Chris absolutely over delivered. He set the perfect mood for our cocktail reception and flawlessly transitioned us into a full out dance party that was so fun, everyone was chanting for him to keep going at the end of the night. He has an incredible ability to read the room and know exactly what is needed to keep the party going. Over a week later and guests are still talking about the music (including several requests for his contact info so they could hire him for their own weddings).

Also want to mention how much of a pleasure he is to work with. He was attentive, collaborative, thorough, and passionate about making our day the best it could be from the moment we contacted him. We planned our wedding in 3 months, which could've been a nightmare, but he helped make the process seamless. He set up multiple calls with us leading up to the wedding and took his time on each call to make sure he knew exactly what we were looking for. We simply cannot say enough about him. Just a terrific experience in every way. Our wedding would not have been what it was without him! THANK YOU, CHRIS!!!
Chris was SUCH an awesome DJ for our October wedding. His whole process is well organized and thought out, and we knew we could trust him with on-the-spot music decisions since he has natural musicality. No one was ever bored of the music, and he created an awesome atmosphere for our reception. Bonus: he has a facade to hide his cords that is beautiful, and he has a great mic and speaker set up if you need that for your ceremony. All in all, couldn’t be happier to go with Chris for our special day!
Chris was the absolute perfect DJ for our wedding! He was able to seamlessly meld together all of our favorite types of music, which led to the perfect atmosphere for our wedding. Chris just *got* us. He was incredibly thorough and organized leading up to the wedding. When we were feeling in the weeds leading up to the big day, a frequent calming thought was "we don't need to worry about Chris, he's got it."

If you're looking for a thoughtful, kind, and creative DJ to curate the perfect dance party at your wedding reception, look no further than Chris.
We absolutely loved working with Chris!!! We're not the most knowledgable about music or what music is good for specific parts of the reception, but Chris was a game changer. He was so easy to communicate with and had a super strong attention to detail. He is also extremely knowledgeable and his vast experience shows. For example, he made a point to learn how to pronounce everyone's names correctly for when he was intro'ing speeches. He also helped us pick a horah song that was perfect for our energy and the space we were using. Lastly, our friends and family were dancing the entire night and there was never an awkward lull. He is an absolute gem of a person and an insanely talented DJ.
We could not have been luckier to have Chris at our wedding! I had a very detailed must play/do not play list and he hit the mark perfectly. He read the room so well and kept everyone dancing; he infused some spooky elements that helped turn our reception into the best Halloween party ever; he was able to perfectly balance music from my culture, from our taste in disco, to things that our friends could really sing to at the end of the night. Every phone call we had with him was SO detailed and considerate - it was obvious that he really cared about us having fun and having a wedding that felt like us and that we were proud of. Our guests loved that he was dancing throughout the night and one guest told me that her legs started cramping because she didn't want to stop dancing!
Hiring The Other Wedding DJ is easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Throughout the planning process Chris was incredibly professional, responsive, helpful, and reassuring. Working with him to craft the musical vibe for our wedding and hearing just how much of his expertise and creativity he puts into the experience was a lot of fun, and it made all the difference on our big day. So many of our guests were raving about the music and how they couldn't leave the dancefloor!
I can't imagine how our wedding would have gone without The Other Wedding DJ. Chris was able to take our list of music and plug in his knowledge to complete the perfect playlist. His blending of genres was perfect and the talk of our wedding. Chris combined all of our interests and favorite music into a great set list and mixed them with other hits that get people on the dance floor. Chris made the planning process with him so easy, he was always quick to answer any question we had, and worked directly with our venue to handle set-up logistics. Hands down one of the best choices we made for our wedding.
I cannot tell you how special our wedding was because of Chris, The Other Wedding DJ. From our first phone call, we knew Chris was the DJ for us. First - he has a background as a musician and has toured with incredible artists I admire. His understanding of musicality shows in his DJ work. My husband and I met at an indie rock concert, so music is important to us and our taste can be a little obscure. Chris combined all of our interests and favorite music into a great set list and mixed them with other hits that get people on the dance floor. People were dancing all night and continue to compliment us on our DJ. The planning process with him was so easy, he had great input every step of the way, worked directly with our venue to handle set-up logistics, and I cannot imagine our wedding day without him. Hands down one of the best choices we made for our wedding.

Chris was the perfect DJ for our wedding reception. He communicated with us excellently from the first time we spoke. He happily answered questions from us about weddings that had nothing to do with music and offered advice using his extensive experience in weddings. As for the DJ part, he put on the perfect party, catered to our tastes.
He used our personalities and music interests to make a wonderful playlist and kept people dancing the whole time.
Something that I’d really like to mention is that there were times that a song or band that we wanted to hear maybe wouldn’t fit the vibe of a dance party, so he’d suggest another song or another time to sneak it in. For example, I’m a dead head but you can play a 20 minute jam during the reception! So he suggested a few other Grateful Dead songs and said we could sneak one in during the dinner and it worked perfectly!
We received a ton of positive feedback from people of all ages about Chris. And if we had to do it again, we’d pick Chris every time. We highly recommend his services. He was GREAT!

Thank you, Chris!!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, Chris was professional, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to understand our music tastes, accommodating all of our special requests and ensuring that the playlist was perfectly tailored to our personalities and the vibe we wanted for our big day.

Chris did an awesome job on the wedding day as well. He worked with us to have a seamless set that kept people dancing all night. He also did the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. What really stood out was Chris's ability to mix genres and cater to all of our guests, from our grandparents to our college friends. Everyone, no matter their age or musical preference, had an amazing time.

Beyond the music, Chris was a joy to work with—punctual, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day perfect. He coordinated effortlessly with our other vendors and kept the night running on schedule without a hitch.

We got a lot of compliments on our music and would absolutely recommend Chris for all of your DJing needs!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Chris Ward, AKA The Other Wedding DJ, for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From start to finish, Chris was an absolute professional with exceptional communication skills. We had three in-depth meetings where he took the time to truly understand our music tastes, ensuring that the soundtrack for our special day was perfectly tailored to us.

Chris created a total party atmosphere, which was exactly what we had envisioned. The experience was incredibly customizable, and as big music fans, we loved being so involved in the process. He seamlessly blended our music selections with his own, which were spot-on, keeping the dance floor packed all night. His ability to beat match was fantastic, ensuring there was never a dull moment.

One of the highlights was that Chris sent us the playlists after the wedding, allowing us to relive those unforgettable memories anytime we want. It’s a special touch that we’ll always cherish.

We would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a wedding DJ without hesitation. He came highly recommended by friends, and he exceeded our expectations in every way. If you want a DJ who’s not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your day unique and unforgettable (and is just generally a really cool dude), Chris is your guy. 100/10!

Look no further, you found your guy. Chris is an amazing DJ! He knew exactly how to craft the vibe we were looking for. He has multiple calls with you to make sure you know the exact process and what you need to give him, and to make sure you're all on the exact same page. Then you easily plug your choices/schedule into his app and he takes it from there! Multiple guests went out of their way to ask us how we found him. I couldn't recommend Chris more highly. Book him right now!

Chris was the best DJ we could ever ask for! He was responsive when we needed help or had questions, he helped plan our day, and made the entire process easy. Our guests raved about our music and how much fun they had. My wife and I are so happy we chose Chris to DJ our special day.

Chris was overall our guests' favorite vendor. He worked with us to create the right ~vibe~. He knew exactly how to work the space with the audio. He fed off our energy on the dance floor and made appropriate calls based on the reactions of our crowd. You can't go wrong booking The Other Wedding DJ! Amazing to work with from start to finish. If I could do 10/5 stars I would!
Chris is an expert- cool, talented, fun. He knows what you want, he plays what you didn't know you needed, and understands what you absolutely do not want played. He has huge range and knowledge, and knows how to make your party good. Most important is what he won't do: he won't play Closing Time when your drunk friends demand it.
Chris is the best choice around! You could not ask for a more fun and personalized experience for your wedding. Chris is communicative, helpful, and most importantly, kind. His demeanor immediately assured me that our party was in the best hands. You can tell he takes the time to look through your suggestions/wants so you get exactly the experience you are looking for. He shared ideas and was available to talk whenever we needed. Thank you, Chris, for making our night incredibly special!
Chris absolutely crushed it at our wedding. Tons of communication and very knowledgeable between our venue and (of course) music. Our guests didn’t sit down once after the music started. Highly recommend

EDIT: we just came from a wedding 6 months after ours and multiple people told us we had the best music at any wedding they’ve ever been to. Couldn’t recommend more
We are so glad we decided to book Chris to DJ our wedding! From the moment we reached out, Chris was responsive, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He listened to all our wants and needs and gave us incredibly helpful feedback. The app he uses to get your must play and special moment songs is super easy to use and made this part of the communication really seamless, and man did he throw down on the song selection! I could not have asked for a more well curated playlist! We had the best time dancing at our wedding and all of our friends and family raved about Chris. I wish we could do it all over again! Thanks for everything, Chris!

Chris was the perfect DJ for our wedding! From the very first call (which felt more like a full nerd-out session of all our favorite bands) up until finalizing our playlist, coordinating with the emcee and planner, Chris was the best.

"Wedding of the century" was one of our guests reviews when talking about the music! And while Chris kept the music to our style, he did so good throwing down Missy, and several guest started to break dance!

Chris made the music of our wedding the highlight of the night, giving certain songs a whole new meaning to us, sparking memories we will never forget.

I would recommend Chris for your wedding in a heartbeat!
The truth is, I wish we could afford to have Chris follow us around and score our every day life - that's how much he got us. Chris is so passionate about what he does and it comes through in the way he runs his business and the work he produces. For us, music wasn't just one part of the night - it was the glue that tied it together. From day one of talking to him, we could tell Chris felt the same way. He speaks of music at a big event as a way to non-verbally cue moments, and emotions and to ensure that the night feels organic. We were nervous when looking for a DJ for our wedding because my now husband and I have such different music tastes, but somehow Chris managed to weave The Waterboys, Wu Tang, Dawes and Donna Summer into a magical night where the dance floor was never empty. Chris worked with us to incorporate an antiquated Jewish tradition into the end of our Hora and was kind enough to walk us through a few different ways that he's done the Hora before. Taking that kind of interest in your client's cultural customs is a special kind of magic. Couldn't recommend Chris more.
The truth is, I wish we could afford to have Chris follow us around and score our every day life - that's how much he got us. Chris is so passionate about...
Chris was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish! He made the wedding planning process so enjoyable and he was very organized. He made our wedding into the best party- which is what we wanted 🙂 couldn’t recommend him more for your wedding day!!
I could never put in words the absolute professionalism and sheer talent of Chris Ward as our Wedding DJ but I will certainly try. From the very beginning, he was informative, friendly, and to the point. Even the UI of his online booking process was impressive. He worked so diligently and precisely with my Husband and I getting ready for our big day. And the way he DELIVERED on the big day- my guests are still talking to me about it and it's already been 3 months since. I can't recommend Chris enough as your DJ for you next big event. You absolutely won't regret it!
