D.J. Johnny Stuart

my Uncle has the best taste in music out of anyone I know. I knew Johnny was the guy for the job. He listened to every single suggestion (I literally provided a song list) and he filled in the blanks. He said he would be involved as much or as little as I wanted and was there to provide advice from everything he's seen/done. He didn't over MC anything at all, which was something we discussed together prior to the wedding & he didn't let the party stop. He kept the music going throughout apps and dinner which was also what I wanted - everyone could not stop dancing. I've never been to a wedding where the dance floor was FULL...FULL!!!!! the ENTIRE. NIGHT. It was my dream come true. Johnny absolutely CRUSHED IT!!! He is so fun to work with. I had a disco 70s vibe going at the wedding and omg it was BEYOND a blast with the help of Johnny. If you want to have the time of your life, JOHNNY IS YOUR GUY!

ve and likeable. We had a Greek/Persian wedding and Johnny knew how to make the crowd laugh, get up and dance and keep dancing! We were very impressed that he has so much experience with cultural weddings. He's very organized, really easy to work with and will not steer you wrong. He made our day so special and enjoyable!! He's THE MAN!

g better. We are a more lowkey couple and he helped us feel comfortable and drew attention to us at the right times.

ue is gorgeous and outstanding but has very strict rules in terms of what equipment should be used by DJs and how much time they have to set up and remove all of their equipment which needs very fast mobilization of the staff and materials. It also has indoor and outdoor spaces which need different settings. Johnny complied with all very well and our ceremony went very smoothly without noticing what was going behind the scene and how fast he prepared everything. Our wedding was a combination of Latin and Persian ceremonies with different parts and different crowds to entertain which Johnny did in the best way. His selection of music and working with us to incorporate our music and choreography into a very busy and chronologically tight schedule was excellent. His equipment was high quality and the voice was superb. He also kindly acted as our announcer and kept our guest informed about the schedule. In one word, Johnny is an excellent top-notch highly professional entertainer not only a DJ. He knows how to make people jump out of their chairs to join the dance floor; while at the correct time, enjoying relaxing music during their dinner and cocktail time. Johnny went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time on our big day. We for sure will hire Johnny for our future occasions and we highly recommend him to all.

f his line. He provided great music during our wedding. He is easy to talk to and will work on your budget. Hr has a great and organized set-up on the day of our wedding. You are the best, DJ Johnny!

will rock the house and make you very happy! DJ Johnny warrants my highest recommendation and I look forward to hiring him again for any party that I throw in the future!

e wedding upfront as far as music choices, the guests likes and dislikes, order of events, and announcements. He had a wide range of music choices and once he knew our vibe, he was able to put together the perfect playlist. All of our guests were up dancing and commented all night about how great the DJ was. Would definitely have him back for our next event!

ot them all on the dance floor!!!!! He was a professional from start to finish !!

ire night and we got compliments on how much fun everyone had. Would highly recommend

d early, was set up early and played straight for 4+ hours..nonstop!! He can read a crowd and DJ accordingly. He is the best! Would HIGHLY recommend him for any event that needs a DJ!

how good he was and my friend wants to use him for her wedding now too. I would definitely recommend him!

hitch. He's super great at communicating, helping with music suggestions of you need them, and making a party come alive. He had everyone on the dance floor as soon as he started! Absolutely the best

). I, (MOB), called him a couple of weeks before the wedding and was very clear about our not wanting the music to be so loud that our guests would suffer hearing loss by the end of the evening (which is too often the case). He understood exactly what I was saying and assured me he would not blast the music. He didn't. The adults were happy; the younger people were happy. It all worked out very well. He coordinated with an Armenian band that was playing that evening as well and they alternated seamlessly. A couple of days after the wedding, he let us know that we had overpaid him and he was quick to return the money. I recommend D.J. Johnny Stuart without hesitation. You will not be disappointed!

e night, and Johnny was able to play almost all of them and mixed them in a super fun way that kept the party going. Johnny also gave us a lot of ideas about what might work for the music, and helped us think through the flow of the night. Night of, he also went above and beyond, last minute finding a super-long cable to help my sister in law with her toast - she wanted to play songs off her phone, which we didn't know in advance, and Johnny came through to make it happen. Highly recommend!

dian) creating a high-energy fusion dance party. I would highly highly recommend him for your event. We could not have been more happy.

everyone on the dance floor the entire night and NO ONE wanted to leave! We wish we could have extended our wedding a few more hours!! Do yourselves a favor and book his A.S.A.P.! Thanks Johnny for making our night amazing!

ways responded quickly to emails. More importantly, he listed to us! He sat down to understand what sort of music we wanted, we gave him a list of (1) songs we love and (2) songs we DEFINITELY didn't want played. Additionally, he asked us for a detailed timeline of the night, so he knew when to make announcements, when to keep the party relaxed, and when to blow the roof off the place. From start to finish, he kept us dancing all night and I would absolutely recommend him to any friend!

For my husband and I - music was very important to our wedding. We wanted to have a fun party and knew music would either help make that happen or ruin it. From the first time I talked to Johnny on the phone to our in person meeting, Johnny was clearly interested in understanding "our vision" for our wedding vs. just having one style that he pushes on everyone. I was confident he genuinely wanted to create the perfect night for us and listened to what that meant for us. We had some concerns as our guests were coming from a wide variety of places and had a wide variety of musical tastes, but we felt that DJ Johnny would be up to the task. Leading up to the even Johnny was available to chat whenever we needed to chat and helped us get organized with our "must plays" and "never play" songs. We certainly had a lot of input in our music, but when we were stuck, like on our ceremony music, Johnny was there with the perfect suggestions. By my wedding day, music was one thing I just wasn't worried about. Our actual wedding day went even better than I could have imagined. Ceremony music was flawless and even our cocktail hour music, which can be forgettable at many weddings, was great. But the reception was where Johnny really shined. Sure, we'd gone over a bunch of songs we thought would work, but Johnny really read the crowd and adapted to maximize the fun and keep the most people on the dance floor for the longest amount of time (which was our priority). This was not an easy task, as we had a wide variety of guests. Not to mention, the entire evening Johnny looked like he was having as much fun as our guests! I think this is really what makes him a great DJ - he really wants your wedding to be everything you ever dreamed of and genuinely works his hardest to make that happen for you. So whether you want a "bring down the house" dance party or a more refined event, Johnny will work to make that happen; I really feel like you cannot go wrong with DJ Johnny Stuart for your wedding.

E had a blast. This was such a great celebration and it was due to the prep and expertise that Johnny had in selecting the right music and adding his touch of class to how he was the master of ceremony. He worked with us so that our event had the right timing and accompanying music to make it a total classy event. And, for this eclectic crowd, everyone danced. It was THE best wedding I have every been to and I was lucky enough to be the one hosting. Thank you Johnny for making our night magical.

ore our wedding I decided to surprise my husband-to-be with a band performance and when I informed Johnny of the change of plans he was extremely supportive and even volunteered to reach out to the band leader to ensure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. On our big day the band was caught in traffic for over an hour and Johnny was able to filled in with an early dance set playing their style of music where they were supposed to play a set without skipping a beat. We rescheduled the whole evening like nothing ever even happened and it was even more amazing!! I would highly recommend him and can't wait to throw another party so we can work together again!

ve our objective Post-hiring: remained accessible 24/7 always got back to us within the hour (even when he was traveling); had multiple conversations to discuss and create a detailed itenerary for the night, the music selection (song-by-song), name pronunciation, Zafa (Arabic wedding march) set-up, after party transition, no-play list, etc. Day of: The vibe was amazing and the guests were always out of their seats! An excellent job melding the Arabic and American music and with the Zafa entrance. Also coordinated with other vendors the day off (e.g., Zafa band, wedding coordinator) so we didn't have to. Managed a lighting fast wedding-to-afterparty transition that never gave the festivities a chance to relent.

in the entertainment aspect of our wedding. Johnny was always responsive and helpful, knows the business (and probably your venue) up and down and is just a joy to work with. Funny, cool, knowledgeable, you name it, DJ Johnny is your man. He made a stressful experience fun, but also made sure we were covered in all the important areas. "What do you want for procession music? How about introductions? What vibe do you want for cocktail hour?" - all aspects you may have neglected to think about, Johnny Stuart has you covered. And on the day of the BIG event... Johnny was set up, prepared and just made the party happen. He even acted as a de facto MC when needed. A true class act and a great ally to have for any big event that requires a real professional to handle the party and make sure people are on their feet (and you are feeling good!). Do yourself a favor and book this man in advance. You'll be glad you did. ~Guy & Marissa Rader Astoria, NY (Hired Johnny Stuart as our DJ for a wedding 9/13/14)

er to orchestrate the music for the atmosphere we wanted to create. He is super passionate about what he does, and that shows through in his work. He played music during cocktail hour, dinner, and then dancing. Each part had music that was different from each other but fit the mood perfectly. During dancing, Johnny kept everyone on their feet the entire time. I have never seen this at a wedding- people didn't want the night to end. Since the wedding, we have heard from many people it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to, and I think that is largely due to the music. I would highly recommend him and can't wait to throw another party so we can work together again!

We all had such a great time on the wedding night. Johnny is such a pleasure to work with and he is very responsive, professional and corporative through our entire music list preparation and the wedding. He did both ceremony and reception part and all my families and friends joined for dancing and it was really incredible! Highly recommend to all of you guys who are looking for a great DJ. Both my husband and I want to say thank you so much to Johnny for such a wonderful wedding! THANK YOU!

ould recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great DJ!

g night. It was a very singular wedding, since guests flew in from all around the world, making it a very diverse and multicultural event. The place he personally helped us pick turned out to be amazing, the food was great, but the music was the central entertainment. Everybody felt connected to the music, and Johnny created an energetic environment full of dance and laughter. We gave him a list of the music we wanted, and he mixed it to perfection. We absolutely recommend him for anyone looking for the greatest wedding DJ!

k and itinerary. We had traditional dancers with announcements where timing was crucial for guests' surprises and he adhered to everything to the microsecond! Amazing - he promised he would b/c of his experience in fashion and he DELIVERED!!!!! The guests loved him too - so many compliments! He also complied completely with my playlist and do-not-play list and made sure he understood everything in advance!

at you want your overall theme to be perfectly with his choice of songs. He also seamlessly weaved in the specific songs we wanted to include in our reception and ceremony. Johnny was expert in coordinating our live singer with her needs of music tracks and sound. Johnny had the perfect mix of upbeat and slow songs and knew exactly how and when to play them to add to the overall success of our day. Johnny has done several large events for us in the past few years from 60- 200 people and has always been professional and amazingly helpful and fun! We are a gay couple and it was very important for us to have a DJ that would be excited about working with us to create a special day. DJ Johnny came thru in every way possible and we would highly recommend him and his services to any couple looking to have a great experience. There is only one DJ and his name is....Johnny Stuart!

rought back to my own experience. The most important thing to my husband and I for our wedding day was music. We wanted everyone to dance and have a great time, we wanted a true party. Since we made that a priorty that put a great deal of pressure on finding the right person. Johnny came highly recommnded by a friend, so we did some research, took the friends advice, and hired Johnny. That was by far the easiest and best decision made during the wedding planning process. He was always professional and easy going. There was never any angst on the lead up to wedding day. He returned every phone call in a timely manner and was helpful and easy going with the music planning process. He arrived on time and proceeded without incident. Johnny helped the night flow smoothly. The wedding guests danced the entire night. The dance floor was never empty!!! He helped make our wedding very special! I would absolutely recommended him to anyone no matter the event.

that stereotypical Long Island 'yo yo yo' MCing. Enter DJ Johnny. From the first time we met him, we knew he was the one. He just got us right off the bat and was one of my favorite vendors to work with. His communication, passion, and enthusiam is ++++++++. The day of the wedding he arrived early to set up and sound check and, unbeknownst to us, even helped one of our other vendors with an equipment malfunction. He played everything we wanted to hear- including a killer traditional Polish gypsy set, an 80s/early90s hiphop set that made one of my guests feel like he was back in high school, and a special request for my 3 year old nephew who STILL talks about it! Whatever you want, DJ Johnny will bring it!

use we had so much stuff going on, we were staying behind big time!! Thanks to Johnny for staying on top of it. We are supper appreciative! In addition, he was able to grasp exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a chill and not too traditional flow of the enter wedding. He gave us lots of awesome suggestions! On the day, he was super on time. Played exactly what we were looking for. Our guests especially loved his deep voice :) We had an awesome day Johnny thanks so much!!

wanted to play for all of the key moments, and did a great job with music at the cocktail hour, throughout dinner, and then had people on the dance floor until 2am!! Even our parents and older relatives were dancing. DJ Johnny is well worth his fee and THEN SOME! Don't waste your money on a huge band when all you need is one amazing DJ!

ding planner said that they have never seen so many people on the dance floor at any other wedding -- this was all a big testament to DJ Johnny! Johnny was so much fun to work with throughout the wedding planning process. He was available to chat anytime, and to answer any questions that I had, and was very flexible with any of our requests. I felt so comfortable knowing that he would pick a great mix of songs to play that would get people dancing throughout the night! I provided him with a few of my favorite songs, and he ran with the rest, creating a perfect playlist (my guests were actually asking for the full list of songs that he played....) The night was filled with an amazing mix of rock and dance songs that kept the crowd going - we were all sweating and jumping by the end of the night, which is truly the sign of a great wedding! I could not more highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for an upbeat, fun-filled wedding.

music requests and tastes and integrate the music in a way that no one wanted to leave the dance floor!! We could not be any happier! We highly recommend DJ Johnny Stuart!!!

g, "Oh my god this is AMAZING, I have to post something!" The dance floor was packed from start to finish with people of all ages and backgrounds. Everyone from my younger friends whom I expected to dance the whole night, to my 70 year-old mom and relatives of all age groups from different countries had so much fun, and the dance floor was a virtual magnet created by Johnny. We had two distinct "cultures" represented and he somehow found songs that made everyone beyond happy. It was like an entire night of those songs that make you want to get up and dance. I heard a lot of, "Where did you find this guy? He's GREAT!" We truly had the best night, better than we even imagined and Johnny was at the helm and seemed as excited as we were. The wedding went late and it was no problem for him - nothing was! He also maintained control in that he did not allow just anyone to grab the mic and make a speech without our approval, which I appreciated. Wedding planning is obviously a stressful journey and Johnny could not have made it any easier - the consummate professional from start to finish. When we started our DJ search we found a lot of part-timers who pushed the "lighting package." We were looking for a more classy and sophisticated - but still fun - wedding and thank god we found Johnny who knew that strobe lights were not what we were looking for. He also did the ceremony music which was great, and kept us organized throughout the planning process. He responded to my emails seemingly immediately and I am SO glad that I found him. It seemed more like he was a friend who also happened to be a fantastic DJ than someone we hired, which is not an easy find when planning a wedding. Simply put, we looked around A LOT and you will not find a more organized, professional, responsive, and enthusiastic DJ! I can't wait to have another event just so we can use him again!

s absolutely loved him, and he was able to blend song so well and honor all of our special requests. He spoke with us to make sure everything would be flawless and offered suggestions if we needed help with something. I would highly, highly recommend him for your wedding

ideas for our wedding--big and small. Our biggest requirement was providing a mix of music, since my (now) husband has French family, and I have Taiwanese family, so it certainly wasn't an easy task. We gave a ton of "required" songs to make sure it would appeal to everyone, and Johnny willingly worked off our song list to make sure any additional choices fit with ours (and even followed our extensive "do not play" list!). The night of our wedding reception, when the first song came on, the dance floor was PACKED. Literally. My mother-in-law said she'd never seen her father dance, and he was on the dance floor. I've never seen my parents dance, and they were kicking up a storm. We had people telling us afterwards that they'd never seen the dance floor that packed at a wedding before. Suffice to say, we were incredibly impressed with Johnny's skills--he did a fabulous, memorable job--so much so that days after our wedding, we had several people request his playlist! Thanks again, Johnny!

h the decision making progress and called/researched about 10 different DJ's that she suggested. Johnny was the ONLY one that seemed as excited as I was about my wedding. His confidence and enthusiasm about music were ultimately what made me decide that he was by far the best choice. His take on being a DJ was so different then anyone else that I had spoken to. His focus was getting to know me and my fiance on a personal level so that he could design the evening that would make us dance the night away and have the time of our lives....and we did. By mixing the music from old to knew, all of our guests were on the dance floor from the start and he seamlessly blended the songs so that there was NEVER a dull moment. It took all my strength to walk off the dance floor even for just a moment because I was having the best time dancing with everyone. During the reception, Johnny was ALSO having a blast watching everyone party and was really a PART of our wedding. That was important to us...we wanted him to blend in and he did just that. I think he even made a few friends that night, including us of course. Johnny left us with lasting memories of a perfect evening full of fun, laughs, and non stop dancing. His excitement and enthusiasm is contagious and shows through his music. To all the future brides reading this review...when you have confidence with the people you choose to be at your wedding, it takes a huge amount of stress off your shoulders because they take care of it, have everything under control and DELIVER. I highly suggest Johnny if you want a DJ that does exactly what he says he's going to do...listen to your vision, communicate communicate communicate and create the most amazing evening for you and your guests. Its two days after our wedding and I have friends and family still telling us that our wedding was the most fun they have had dancing the night away....thanks to Johnny.

a Hindu wedding ceremony. He proactively got in touch with the priest for any cues, with the events coordinator at the venue, as well as family members, to get a firm grasp on types of music, timings, and schedule of events. He was very meticulous in making sure he had a schedule of the day. Johny also met with me in person prior to the wedding to talk about my expectations, to discuss the mood of the reception, types of songs, and how I envisioned my special evening to be. We also discussed how to transition from wedding to cocktail hour to reception to dinner and then back to dancing. Johny, who is obviously very experienced, made sure to bring our attention to all these things, and we really appreciated his insights as to how to ensure that we didn't have loud dance songs playing during dinner, etc. My husband and I also made a strict "do-not-play" list, for the reception, which he was also open to, as well as our suggestions for certain bollywood songs that we wanted to play for our guests. If we ever had another party or event, we would without a doubt ask Johny to be our DJ. His enthusiasm, obvious love of music, attention to detail and personality made our wedding an amazing experience. Even a year after the event, we have friends who still rave about the music and how much fun they had dancing the night away.

e still talking about the playlist and what an amazing job he did. Johnny is world-renowned and has worked with the top people in the industry-he makes you feel like a superstar and his attention to detail makes what would otherwise be stressful (as the planning process is!) into a journey of excitement and joy, breathlessly waiting (as you've danced your a** off at this point) for song after after song to be played. Johnny's repertoire of music is unparalleled and this coming from a music aficionado who has 20,000 songs on her Ipod! I could not have asked for a better DJ and for those of you who know the impressions that people leave with after your wedding revolve around food and music, your mind will be put at ease and you will have the time of your life at your wedding. Thank you so much Johnny - it was the most magical day!

e groom's top hip hop songs, current hit pop, and some timeless slow dance tunes) with seamless transitions (which is hard to do with our mixed tastes) to keep everyone on the dance floor nonstop! We wanted to make sure all of our guests had as much fun at our wedding as we did and the dance floor was proof they did. Additionally, Johnny really kept us organized along the way and kept the pace all throughout the wedding reception. Thanks Johnny!!!

led a ton. We narrowed it down to a few and chatted with each of them on the phone. From our first conversation with Johnny, you could sense his great energy and euthasism for his work. We set up a meeting with Johnny and it was easy to tell that he was the man for the job... we signed a contract that day. He was incredibly easy to work with and very helpful when it came to picking songs to use throughout the ceremony. He has a great deal of experience and it shows -- he has so many stories to tell about past clients and talks about them with such passion. We were able to give him our songs through dropbox which made things much easier. We also gave him our songs just two days before the wedding! Johnny had no problem with this at all and was always very patient and willing to work with our schedule. We could call him any time and he was there to help us out, so easy to talk to and always made time for us. The night of the wedding was awesome -- he had EVERYBODY dancing! We also totally forgot that we wanted to do the hora....so about halfway through the evening we asked Johnny if he could make it happen....and he did! He transitioned perfectly into it and everyone had a ball. Johnny is an incredible DJ, very well priced, and a blast to work with! We'll definitely be calling him in twenty years for our kids' bar mitzvahs!

t long. We highly reccommend DJ Johhny for events and believe he did a phenomenal job keeping the mood and music right on point. The dance floor was packed and guests raved at how amazing the music was!! I must mention that I am from a carribbean background while my husband is American. Dj Johnny mixed american and caribbean beats so smoothly that both sides of the wedding danced to every song (very rare!!!) Bottom line is that he is a professional DJ who delivers what is expected of him.

we made! The energy did not stop the entire evening! Johnny had all of our guests on the floor from beginning to end. He was by far the best D.J. we and many of our friends who attended have encountered. If we had to do it all over again, Johnny would definitely be one of our first phone calls!
