"We hired Alex to be our DJ and MC for our wedding reception, let me just say he absolutely made the night. From our very first conversation to the last song on the dance floor, Alex was the picture of professionalism, energy, and talent. The music and flow was incredible. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the energy high without being overbearing, and made sure every moment flowed and felt perfectly timed. We’ve had so many guests reach out just to say how amazing our DJ was. If you’re on the fence about hiring a DJ or MC (or both), this is your sign. Alex is your guy. You won’t regret it. Thank you, Alex, for helping us throw the best party of our lives. I hope you had as much fun as we did lol"
