If there’s one thing every couple wants at their wedding, it’s to see their guests laughing, dancing, celebrating, and having the absolute BEST time! And let me tell you, DJ Dutty ...
Laundry understood the assignment! 😂🎶
From the very beginning, he was absolutely amazing to work with! He didn’t just show up to play music. He took charge of our reception, kept everything flowing beautifully, knew how to read the crowd, and made sure EVERYONE was having fun!
And then there was my mom! 😂❤️
My mom decided we needed a good 30 minutes of our cultural music because, of course, what’s a family wedding without a little tradition, some familiar songs, and EVERYONE getting dragged onto the dance floor?! LOL!
And instead of making things complicated, he was completely on board! He embraced it, worked with us, and made sure our culture was part of the celebration. Seeing our family dancing, laughing, and enjoying those songs together was such a special moment!
We also booked the Dancing on the Clouds effect for our first dance, and OH MY GOODNESS! It was absolutely MAGICAL! It genuinely felt like we were dancing in a fairytale. The entire atmosphere was breathtaking, and it became one of the most beautiful highlights of our wedding. A moment we will remember forever!
But what impressed me most wasn’t just his talent as a DJ. It was his personality and the genuine care he showed us.
He is such a kind soul, incredibly easy to work with, attentive, patient, and truly passionate about what he does. You can tell when someone is simply doing a job versus when someone genuinely LOVES creating beautiful experiences for people. He absolutely LOVES what he does, and it shows in every detail!
He made us feel taken care of, kept the energy going, and helped turn our reception into a celebration full of unforgettable memories.
To anyone looking for a wedding DJ who knows how to entertain, organize an amazing reception, bring people together, and genuinely care about your special day, DJ DUTTY LAUNDRY IS YOUR GUY!
Thank you so much for everything! Thank you for your kindness, your incredible energy, your flexibility with our family’s music requests, and for making our wedding reception such an amazing experience.
You didn’t just give us music. You gave us memories, laughter, happy tears, and a dance floor full of love!
And THAT is what a truly amazing wedding DJ does!
Look NOWHERE ELSE for your wedding DJ! What made me fall in love with him was when I called him and asked if he’d be our DJ I stated, “it’s for two women, is that ok?”. He said, “y...
ea that doesn’t matter, why does it matter?!” and I knew he was the right choice. He made the night what it was and I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else if I had to choose again! We love Dutty <3
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, Dutty brought the perfect energy to the night — fun, inclusive, and full of great vibes. The music was...

We truly appreciated how inclusive and engaging he was with our guests, making everyone feel part of the celebration. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Our guests are still talking about how amazing the DJ was. Truly the best — highly recommend!
We cannot say enough amazing things about DJ Dutty Laundry! He was truly the hero of our wedding day. Right at the beginning of our reception, the unthinkable happened, the power w...
ent out. Most DJs would have panicked, but not him. He was so incredibly prepared, calm, and professional. Within minutes he had backup equipment running and the music never skipped a beat. Our guests were dancing, laughing, and having the best time like nothing had ever happened.
Not only did he save the day, but from start to finish he was an absolute dream to work with. He was organized, attentive, and so so fun. He read the crowd perfectly and kept the energy going all night long. Everyone kept telling us how amazing our DJ was, and we couldn’t agree more.

know firsthand how much they set the tone for the entire event. From the first two minutes of our initial phone call, I knew Dutty was going to bring exactly the energy we wanted for our wedding. And wow, did he deliver! He was fun, interactive, and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had. Beyond just being an incredible performer, Dutty was also so professional, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was flawless. If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to read a crowd, hype it up, and create a memorable, seamless experience — Dutty Laundry is your guy. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

nd and I are all about good energy and a killer dance floor. Dutty went above and beyond to deliver exactly that and more.
I can’t tell you how many compliments I received about how much fun the wedding was and how lit the dance floor stayed all night. He took our wide variety of music tastes and blended them perfectly into the wildest, most unforgettable dance floor I’ve ever been a part of.
If you’re getting married, stop searching and HIRE DUTTY. You will not regret it—he’s the best of the best! 🎉
An expert DJ that really knows how to get the party started and going all night long! Everyone had a BLAST! Had multiple people tell us it was the most fun they've ever had at a we...
dding. And of course we loved every minute of it, especially working with Ellis who made the process smooth and easy. We rented the photo booth which was super fun and he also brought the cold sparks with him that I wanted so badly for first and last dance with my husband. He really outdid himself and we are so thankful!!
As the mother of the Groom and a year + later the mother of the Bride, we have been fortunate to have DJ Dutty orchestrate the mood for the ceremonies, receptions, and the fun part...
ies that followed. Our families love this man who has made these special occasions successful with his voice, humor, music, and his desire to make the moments memorable for the couples. I highly recommend if you want a fun wedding and don't hesitate because he will keep the party going! So many of our guests have commented on how wonderful our DJ was and how fun the wedding receptions were - for both weddings.
DJ Dutty was outstanding! We had a few special requests and he was extremely accommodating. Knows how to work a crowd and plays the best music. Our guests loved him. Would highly r...
ecommend!
I met DJ Dutty Laundry while working at a wedding in October of 2022. I was a planner from Texas who traveled to Chattanooga to work a wedding for some friends from college. I was ...
amazed by the talent and energy he had all night. He was hands down the most fun/talented DJ I have ever seen. He kept the crowd alive and would be out there on the dance floor with the guests to MC and hype the people up. He really knows how to throw a party!
DJ Dutty Laundry and I became fast friends after that and I knew he was the DJ that I would want to hire for my wedding. That day he told me to tell him when and where and he would be there on my special day! Sure enough, I got engaged in March of 2023 and we hopped on the phone and I signed pretty soon after that. He and his son Traveled 14 HOURS to Waxahachie, TX to DJ at my wedding, which just shows the kind person he is. He truly cares about his clients and wants their day to go as smoothly as possible. I had a photo booth that his son ran and I know it was a crowd favorite. DJ Dutty Laundry did amazing as usual. He is a down to earth and a true friend to me and now my Husband. He puts his heart and soul into every event that he does because he loves what he does. He had some tricks up his sleeve to get people on the dance floor, I won't spoil these surprises! ;) But he kept that dance floor alive the entire night! We had people of all ages from 4-85 dancing on the dance floor. Everyone told me that he lived up to all the hype that I was giving him before the wedding. All of our guests couldn't stop telling me what an amazing DJ he was and that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. He is truly the best DJ the industry has and you will not regret hiring him!
After experiencing Dutty at two friend’s weddings, there was no question who we needed as our DJ. Dutty was not just a vendor. During the planning process, it felt like he was just...
as invested in our wedding and reception as we were. Dutty completely exceeded our expectations. Our goal was to stay on the dance floor the entire night and Dutty made this possible. We had the best time dancing the night away. It’s an honor to be a member of the Dutty Club.
We had the pleasure of having DJ Dutty Laundry DJ our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From start to finish, Dutty was an absolute professional and exceeded all...
of our expectations.
Throughout the planning process, Dutty was incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to understand our music preferences and the vibe we wanted for our wedding day. He was responsive to our requests and provided helpful suggestions that made our reception flow seamlessly.
On the day of our wedding, Dutty was a true star. He had our guests on the dance floor all night long with his amazing song selection and ability to read the crowd. The energy he brought to the reception was infectious, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had.
Dutty also went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. He worked closely with our other vendors to coordinate timing and announcements, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our special day without any worries.
Thanks to Dutty, our wedding reception was an absolute blast. We can't thank him enough for making our wedding day so memorable and keeping the party going. We highly recommend him!
Sir:
First, I am the guy who took off the jacket.
More important, I want to compliment you on tonight. First, during cocktails, the volume was low enough to comfortably converse...
. During dinner, we could still converse, without screaming at the person next to me. When you jacked it up for dancing, it was motivating, but not painful, as has been my experience too many times. Too many DJs don't recognize that they are background, and try to become the star of the show, rather than the newlyweds. You kept the focus on them, and motivated attendees. (I haven't been on a dance floor in decades . . .) You had GREAT choices and variety of music, rather than the trash we normally hear.
You contributed to the evening, rather than dominated it. I thank you for that.
I cannot bring you any business; we live near Pittsburgh. But if you need a reference/review/recommendation, please feel free to reach out. I don't offer this lightly; you were that good.
Thanks and all the best,
Jim

uests were in on the fun! He cared, worked with me & my bossy, and paid attention to the details. We had a very ethnically diverse group of guests & DJ Dutty catered musically to every people group.

I didn’t have to worry about anyone having fun at any point. DJ Dutty is worth every penny & I would hire him again and again! (He even sent me a gift afterwards to support my classroom at the beginning of the school year!!)

Ellis (DJ Dutty Laundry) was the PERFECT DJ for our wedding! Having a DJ who knew how to keep the guests on the dance floor having a good time was a non-negotiable. We were a litt...
le nervous at first getting married in a city we don’t live in but Ellis came highly recommended. Our expectations were exceeded by far and many of our guests said our wedding was the best they’ve ever been to in terms of the party aspect thanks to Dutty. Also, we had some curve balls on our big day and Ellis handled them with such grace, which in turn helped me and my husband stress a little less. Something else I love about Ellis is he truly cares about his clients and treat them like family. We felt like we had known him our whole lives which is rare with vendors. Hire DJ Dutty Laundry for your wedding or event. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

e has it all!!
Dj Dutty Laundry goes the extra mile! Our reception spot was a newer venue that he had not worked yet, so he met me at the venue one day to look around and walk me through where things would be so our day was perfect and I could alleviate a stress of where the dj would be set up!
Dj Dutty Laundry answers! I called him multiple times with simple questions and he ALWAYS answered me and reassured me that our day was going to be perfect!
I chose a package with an add on of extra up-lights to brighten our venue space and give the reception space more of a “night life” feel for the dancing and he did not disappoint!! It looked incredible!
Dj Dutty Laundry played clean, fun, dance worthy music all night!! He even got my mom and father in law on the dance floor! He played all of our requested songs and surprised us with our last dance song and it was so perfect!
Our wedding guests are still raving about how amazing Dutty Laundry is months after our big day! If you’re looking for a fun, easy to work with, keeps the people on the floor dj then DJ DUTTY LAUNDRY is your guy!!! We cannot recommend him more!

DJ Dutty Laundry is the best DJ EVER! I had so many friends reach out after our wedding just to comment on how fun our reception was! Dj Dutty doesn’t just play music… he interacts...
with the crowd, hypes people up, and he’s hilarious! Seriously hire him if you want a lot of dancing during your reception. My one critique is that he kept playing banger after banger so I danced the ENTIRE night and forgot to make my rounds to talk individually to guests lol!!! No regrets here… our wedding night was the best!!!
Literally the best ever. I do not think there could have been a more perfect fit for entertainment and music at my wedding. You don't need a painter, games, a bounce house, or all ...
the other things social media makes you *think* you need when you have DJ Dutty Laundry. He, and he alone, is all the entertainment you need. It is so obvious how much he loves his job and his couples when he works, and he truly does not make it appear like work. He makes you feel welcome and brings out the best in people. He is inclusive, even peeling off the family wall flower and making them comfortable enough to engage in the night's festivities. He is not just another vendor; instead he makes you feel like he is *part* of the wedding, like a friend you invited to your big day to celebrate. I could write essays in his praises, but ultimately I am thankful to have had DJ Dutty Laundry as a part of the best day of my life. He contributed to that, and I will owe him for eternity! Thanks for the memories, Dutty! #DUTTYCLUB
