Adam stepped in last minute to be our DJ for our wedding reception, and I am so thankful for his flexibility. From the first phone call he was very organized and prioritized making sure he knew exactly what we wanted. He sent out a document to fill out as well that went into more details about the day: Speeches, music vibe of cocktail hour/dinner, what songs are a MUST play. He kept the night running smoothly. I last minute wanted to do musical chairs during the dancing portion of the reception and he was all for it!

We cannot recommend DJ Funky Turtle enough!! We were on the fence about having a DJ for our wedding but after having Adam masterfully take us through the day, I can’t imagine the day without him! Adam was so helpful with the planning process and made us feel so confident leading up to the day. He kept us on track through cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, but was flexible when we asked for more time at dinner because we wanted to spend more time walking to guest tables:) DJ Funky Turtle kept people on the dance floor until the very end of the night and seemed to have a blast with the crowd as he let people request songs and sang along with us… we received so many compliments about him!! If you are on the fence— seriously, book with DJ Funky Turtle!!!

First off, you guys were sooo easy to work with. Anyone who takes the time to find A PHOT...
O OF EVERY PERSON AND COUPLE (on a guest list over 100) and write a personal note to accompany said photo is either crazy or incredibly dedicated to making each person feel special. And you even made me feel special as the DJ. So, it was easy.
That said, I did put a little pressure on myself to bridge the gap between the folks from the US and those who flew across the pond from England. And I think we succeeded there, right? It felt like just everyone was engaged in celebrating you guys and enjoying the evening. Mission accomplished. Achievement unlocked.
5 out of 5 stars for the groom, bride, and overall celebration. Thanks for entrusting me be your DJ and hope to cross paths with you sometime down the line!

Dj Adam was simply amazing at our wedding in September of 2021 . Our venue was rural but he prepared for the lack of WiFi and had everything under control. He was very attentive to...
our guests and kept them on the dance floor till he left! He made it a point to make sure every request of Myself and the groom was a priority and kept the timeline running very smoothly. Very happy to recommend him for any party or event that you want to be fun and relaxed ! Writing this review 4 years later because everyone needs to know about this awesome DJ in MN 🤗

BEST. DJ. EVER!!!! We cannot say enough good things about Adam. He was fun, interactive, professional, and so personable! He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception....
Every single part went so smoothly, and he even stepped up and helped us dismiss tables because we did not have wedding coordinator. We got compliments all night from how good the music was. We even got him out on the dance floor with us for a song!!! He truly made our day so fun, we absolutely loved him and would recommend him to everyone.

I had an awesome time with you guys! It was a magical day all-around, and I felt really g...
rateful to be a part of it.* I've worked with hundreds of couples, but you guys were so inclusive that not only the DJ, but the other vendors joined you on the dance floor! (One bartender said she'd never been asked by the bride to join the dance.) I hope you and Cam keep building on what you've already got - a really kind, hospitable openness that makes others feel welcome. Thanks for the review, too.
* - As a tiny self-promotion: I was a little surprised to discover the venue didn't have Wi-Fi. But I felt proud that no one would ever know from the DJ side of things. I come prepared for little oversights like that. That's the benefit of starting out in barn weddings many moons ago...anyway, keep on dancing, you two.

Adam was the DJ for our wedding and I can’t recommend him highly enough! I took the playlists very seriously and he was open to collaborating and giving his opinion. He never made ...
me feel like I was overstepping and he honored my choices. The music he selected for the reception was on point. He has a great personality-warm, friendly, and upbeat-that suited our wedding vibe perfectly. After the festivities were over, my husband and I even turned to each other more than once and said we missed Adam and we wanted to be cool enough to be friends with Adam. You will not regret hiring him!

Happy almost-one-year anniversary, Muriel!

e photo we all re-created, and it makes me smile every time.
Also, I haven’t forgotten that you selected some incredible throwback soul/R&B tunes for your dinner playlist, thereby introducing me to a couple classics I’d never heard. If you ever want to share another playlist, I’m all ears.
I thought I had responded to this review a long time ago (and I think I did, but then the page timed out or reloaded and I lost it). So, belatedly, thank you for the review and for being an amazing person to work with. (Chad also, but let’s be honest, you did most of the planning). I hope our paths cross again, and I bet they will, since I’m manifesting it here and there’s lots of amazing concerts in the area…
Cheers! 🍾 🥂

There is no way to properly thank Adam for his contribution to our ceremony and reception. He worked with our other musicians, understood what we wanted and needed to have occur at...
various times, and remained flexible to accommodate changes. He was a nice fellow, kind, funny, smart, and handsome. We had the party of the century, and it could not have been such without Adam. I am fairly sure he brought the aurora borealis with him.
Thanks Adam!

ests could text in their request. He even was able to hook up our phone so my brother (who couldn’t make it due to travel restrictions) could make a toast and everyone could hear it.
He was funny and great with time management and had great questions for the shoe game!
Highly would recommend! Thanks Adam!

d and we truly couldn't have been happier with him and his music selections. Our wedding was pretty small but he still got everyone out on the dance floor at least once. I highly recommend Adam at Funky Turtle. We paid an extra $100 dollars for a travel fee, but he was worth every penny spent. For a DJ, you can't go wrong with Adam at Funky Turtle.
