Cory and his team were wonderful to work with! They helped us customize so many details for our wedding from the lighting to the stage front and an amazing vintage Photo Booth. Everything came together exactly as we envisioned. The execution was flawless and the lighting in Photo Booth was such a hit. We’re so grateful to Party Productions for helping make our celebration feel so special.

Cory Leonardo
Owner
PartyZone Productions was created in Louisville, Ky in 1989 by Cory Leonardo.
You may recognize him, as he’s been on stage more than half of his life in one capacity or another.
Cory has since Dj’ed for thousands of weddings, corporate events, and private functions
While going to a wedding reception for a friend he noticed the hired “DJ” sitting at a table, playing music....no announcements, no interaction, and the music was lacking any energy. He knew there had to be a different way. He began building his own sound system and light show and developed a show like no other.
And so it began...

guests say it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. Cory did a fantastic job with our mics, uplighting, master of ceremony and keeping our dancefloor POPPING from the very first song to the last. He handled all of our requests and executed each moment to perfection. I will be recommending him and his company to ALL of my friends and family in the Louisville, KY area.

ive all night, and they did a great job reading the crowd and adapting to what people were enjoying.
Our only small note is that we would have loved more of the specifically requested Hispanic songs played on their own rather than mixed with pop music. That said, our guests had an amazing time and the overall experience was great. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and talented wedding DJ.

e him for my date. The dance floor at my wedding was full the entire time and I had multiple people ask me if I made the playlist since it was so good—no need for that, Cory had it handled! He reads the room like the expert he is with 10+ years of experience and not only knows how to get the party started but to keep it going. My day and party was exactly what I had envisioned and Cory played a large part in that. He is professional, courteous and kind. If I could give 6 stars, I would 😉
IMO hiring PZP for your DJ should be the easiest decision of any vendor you choose to book.

He kept the party going all night, reading the room perfectly and knowing exactly what to play to keep the dance floor packed. Cory made sure there wasn’t a dull second.
The DJ sets the entire vibe for the reception, and Cory understood that perfectly. If you’re worried about a boring reception or an empty dance floor—stop. Corey & PartyZone are the solution. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had, and we have them to thank for that.
Trust us—this is the team you want for your big day.

tune with the energy of the crowd. He didn’t just play music; he brought the party to life!
Cory had everyone—young and old—on the dance floor all night. He mixed great music with the perfect timing and kept the momentum going from the first dance to the last song. He got the crowd involved, read the room flawlessly, and created an atmosphere that was full of joy, laughter, and dancing. So many of our guests told us it was one of the best wedding receptions they’ve ever been to—and we completely agree.
If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to keep the party going and make your event feel truly special, Party Zone Productions and DJ Cory are the ones to call. We couldn’t be more grateful for the memories they helped create!

His team mixed up the best play list for our wedding and the dance floor was packed all night. Thanks to Cory our wedding was a fantastic time!
We truly did not have to worry about the music or anything else. We knew with Cory and his team we were in great hands.
In addition to giving us a great party they also had wonderful customer service and made the whole DJ process easy and pain free! The whole team was wonderful but Kelly made it so easy to book meetings and to share details for the day of. We would recommend PartyZone to every couple looking for an unforgettable party and a stress free experience.

Totally accommodating, professional setup, lively and exciting. Cory, Jason and Kelly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can't wait to recommend you and hopefully work with you again!
