    We had the privilege of having AJ do our wedding and I must say he was top notch! He played everything I had for basically the whole wedding ceremony to the reception. He had the guests enjoying every part of the day/night. If youre looking for someone to book, I highly recommend AJ. We couldnt be happier with everything he did for us! Banger after Banger! My body is still sore from dancing all night! Thank you again!
