DJ Tony was great! I hired him for my 20 year high school reunion and it was such an easy experience. He got me an estimate quickly and the day of the event, showed up on time and got set up without issue. Communication on payments, times, etc. was prompt. He really knows what he is doing. Once I gave him an idea of what we needed and the type of music, I didnt have to do anything. Everyone had a blast and he really kept the party pumping all night.

ng to tell him every single song to play. He curated the perfect playlists while still listening to our wants. He had our family and friends on the dance floor before it even opened up.

To say DJ Tony Cutlass surpassed all expectations would be doing him a disservice. Not only was he as invested as we were to making our special day a memorable one, but his communi...
cation was always there and we shared the same vision for how we wanted everything to go. Our wedding was taking place outdoors and we were hit some unexpected rain which delayed our reception starting and DJ Tony immediately took matters into his own hands and started rocking the party indoors as if we didn't miss a beat! When we finally got the party outside, he looked at me and told me that he would be there as long as my wife and I needed to make up for lost time and to only worry about us having the best night of our lives. A legend through and through and will absolutely be recommending/booking him for any future events. We appreciate you, good brother! We enjoyed the ride in the cutlass!

he was prepared, confident and ready to get the party started!!! He absolutely knocked it out of the park during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and all of our guests loved him. We're so incredibly thankful to have worked with him and we wish we could have a second reception just to have him party with us again!! Look no further for your DJ, Tony is the BEST.

our wedding with the song of our choice. He was personable, professional, and made sure every detail was addressed. You only had to look as far as the dance floor to see that DJ Tony had made his mark on our wedding. We thank you for your commitment to excellence! If you read these reviews and don’t hire Tony then you are selling yourself short. Thanks DJ!
