If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We didn't hire a wedding planner and took on most of it ourselves. I had been to a wedding where Chris was the DJ and it was a blast so when we started planning he was our first call. When we had our initial meeting with Chris, we were instantly impressed with how he conducted himself and how he explained everything he had to offer. We booked him immediately. Since then he was constantly in contact not only with us, but he also communicated with other vendors like the caterer, venue and photographer. He met us at our venue a month or so before but he also coordinated the rehearsal and walked us through every step of the wedding day. Everyone involved felt extremely comfortable with their roles for our big day and my now wife and I didn't worry at all that everything would happen smoothly. We were very impressed with the website Chris used to get to know us and to better understand the vibe we wanted at our wedding. Our wedding was almost two weeks ago now and everyone I talk to that was in attendance has commented on how much fun they had and how impressed they were with Chris. The dance floor was absolutely packed from the first dance song he played right up until the end. Don't think twice and book Chris for your next event, worth every single penny. A couple of things Chris coordinated that we highly recommend was the anniversary dance and the photo dash. read more

We found Chris after he came to us highly recommended from both our venue and some friends who have attended weddings he's DJ'd in the past. Upon meeting with Chris, we knew right away he was the right person for the job. He was so professional and more organized than any vendor I'd ever worked with. The man knows how to run and schedule a wedding! Chris met with us a couple more times before the event to feel out our musical preferences, get name pronunciations right, and schedule the reception to the minute. All the planning paid off on the day. Our wedding went off without a single problem and just as planned with Chris. We had a long dance party reception at nearly 4 hours and people were on the floor start to finish. Chris knows just when to play slow songs to provide a break and then which song is guaranteed to get people back up out of their seats to the dance floor. The music fit exactly with what we wanted. We provided him a long list of songs we liked and would prefer not to hear and he took them all into account. I simply can't say enough about what an incredible job Chris did and how easy it was to work with him. I'd hire him all over again if given the chance. Even now, over a month later, our guests are still coming to us saying what a great reception dance party we had and how much they loved the music! read more

DJ Chris came HIGHLY recommended by our wedding coordinator (SomethingPrettyEventsCo) and man, did he DELIVER. All of his meticulous planning prior to the wedding led him to curate an amazing audio experience for our guests that really felt like it was "us" while also being very fun for all of our guests of all ages/generations/musical tastes. He also offers many additional services and we took advantage of the light package DJ Chris offers. Our venue space had the perfect ambiance for the night with the lighting. Our guests have not stopped talking about DJ Chris and his ability to open the dance floor and keep it going all night. In fact, the closest thing to a complaint we heard was that one guest "couldn't go to the bathroom because the DJ was playing banger after banger." Not only was the reception dance floor the place to be, DJ Chris also expertly navigated us through our ceremony music, allowing us to customize the experience how we wanted. He also provided music for cocktail hour and it all went off without a hitch. We seriously couldn't have asked for a better experience with DJ Chris, and would choose him over and over if we could. If you're looking for any type of event entertainment, book DJ Chris immediately. We are so grateful we chose DJ Chris for our special day, and know if you will be too. read more

Chris Plankey did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding. His superseded our expectations!! He helped me so much to coordinate between the JOP and the caterer. He was there for our rehearsal and put so much effort into making sure that everyone fully understood what their job was the next day. He took a lot of stress away from me! On the wedding day, the music made it seem like it was all a fairy tale. Walking down the aisle and hearing the music play softly in the back ground made me feel like I was floating on a cloud. Walking into our reception and hearing the songs that we picked out for our entrance play exactly how we asked was beyond perfect! The cocktail music was so great that our guests were even up dancing during this time as well. As soon as all of our traditional wedding events took place, my shoes came off and we all started to dance the night away. I would recommend Chris for every single wedding near and far. You will not be disappointed by anything and he will make all of your visions become a reality. P.S. The compatibility quiz game show that he does at the wedding was so much fun and brought both sides of the family together with laughter and broke the ice. Chris is a miracle worker!!! read more

Chris did an unbelievable job. My wife and I ended up selecting all vendors that cared and put in the same amount of effort that her and I put into our relationship. Chris was no different. Personally I think I'm a music lover Chris showed the same passion and interest from our first phone call to our last before our wedding day. We talked as a couple with Chris as scheduled and he and I 1:1 a number of times through the process. Having gone through the process during COVID and shortly after Chris made the process personable and painless. The process was simple and easy to follow. His questionnaire followed the ceremony/reception almost exactly and made my wife feel at ease during the day. Chris met us the day prior to our wedding at our venue and got the ball rolling for our justice of peace who had no experience. He made the JP, our family and my wife and I at ease about our wedding. Then it was time. Your DJ can essentially run the schedule for the night with a microphone and Chris goes above and beyond to meet your needs. Would recommend him to anyone in the area and anywhere he's willing to travel. Happily Mike and Brittney read more

Chris acted as our DJ, MC, and did all of the lights (indoors and outdoors under our tent) at our October wedding in Great Barrington, MA. Chris is a professional through and through. Extremely detail oriented, organized, responsive, and respectful. He works hard to understand the couple, learn about their wants and needs, and make sure the family/guests are happy and having fun. He also was excellent during the rehearsal dinner/during the wedding day in terms of keeping our guests to our plan, and did it in a thoughtful, respectful way. The lights he did looked fantastic, and he was very flexible in terms of when he would come and install them (even when the tent company was a bit behind schedule and Chris had to install the lights under the tent in the dark). He does an excellent job learning about the couple's music tastes, but also helping guide them toward a playlist for cocktail hour and reception that makes sense and will keep the party going. Can't recommend him enough. read more

When choosing a DJ we knew we wanted someone who would bring life to our wedding that was fun, professional, reliable, experienced and personable. We got all that and so much more with Chris. He is extremely organized and detail oriented making sure that everything on our big day ran smoothly start to finish. He had so many great ideas that made our wedding day different and unique and all of our guests loved him. Not only is he an exceptional DJ and Master of Ceremonies, but the lighting service he offers is incredible. The lighting really gave our wedding that wow factor! From the uplighting to the pin spot lighting and personalized animated monogram we couldn't of been happier with the way our venue was transformed. You will not regret hiring DJ Chris. He was such a key vendor on our wedding day, we're so happy we hired him and we absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for the best DJ!! read more

We literally cannot say enough good things about Chris Plankey. I initially hired him because of the detailed set up description he had on his website for our specific venue. He knew already how many speakers, best set up, how to make sure it looked good in photos, etc. From the first call we had such a good feeling. Chris is so detailed oriented. He helps set the entire schedule to make sure the day runs smoothly and even contacts other vendors so that everyone is on the same page. He makes sure that he only plays music you want to hear and knows exactly how to keep the dance floor flowing all night. Many people told us the music was the best they ever heard at any wedding. We didn't even want to leave the dance floor to cut the cake! You cannot go wrong hiring Chris, you can tell he is so passionate about his job and will do the absolute best for you. read more

We had an amazing experience with Chris! He was extremely professional and great to work with. I was planning my own wedding and he was also very helpful with advice and info that had obviously come from many years of experience, so I knew I could trust him. He also came on Friday and was a huge help with rehearsal, and had everything in the tent setup ahead of time so I never stressed about his work getting done. We are also immensely appreciative of how much effort he put into making our day exactly what we wanted. I am sensitive to LED lighting, so Chris offered to change each bulb to accommodate that so we could still have the gorgeous perimeter and overhead lighting we were looking for! We also still have guests saying how much they enjoyed his music, as we did! Chris was truly a pleasure to work with, and highly recommend! read more

I am SO glad we chose Chris to provide lighting for our wedding. He did an impeccable job, and our wedding tent looked beautiful, elegant and exactly how I had envisioned it when I initially started my search for a lighting professional. Chris was extremely transparent about his pricing, what the process would entail, and was just an all-around super nice guy who is both smart and knowledgeable but not remotely arrogant. It is obvious that he takes his craft seriously, and he was really patient in answering all of my questions thoroughly. He didn't try to upsell me on anything, and his pricing was lower than several other vendors we spoke with. He did a lovely job and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for beautiful event lighting in and around the Berkshires! read more

WOW!!! There aren't enough words to describe how incredible an experience we shared with Chris. He was by far on top of his game from the first day I contacted him. Super responsive, and very accommodative as well. Chris is very detail oriented and makes the wedding planning seamless and stress free! During the wedding we had a pretty steady unrelenting rain. And he went above and beyond to make sure our guests were comfortable. The music was SO good with impeccable timing. Chris also lit and placed the drapery the day before our wedding. The feedback we received from guests was super positive all the way around. *Muah! Chefs kiss, seriously. read more

Chris was absolutely fantastic for us during the wedding planning in the months leading up to the big day and again during the celebration. He asked thoughtful questions during the prep phase and followed through on every tiny detail during the wedding ceremony and reception. He arrived early to set everything up, and he was a wonderful master of ceremonies throughout the day. The music was never too loud or too quiet for each part of the day, and once the reception and dancing began, he kept the energy high and kept people on the dance floor. If you choose to hire Chris, know that you are hiring more than just a DJ. Five stars! read more

DJ Chris was above and beyond what we were hoping for for our wedding entertainment! He was so prepared for all of the details to make the day go smoothly. From the first meeting throughout the planning and on the day of our wedding, Chris was professional, up front with expectations and cost, super fun, and incredible with outlining the entire day's events including options for games and ideas for the reception! We are so grateful to have had DJ Chris be our DJ, he was a huge part in making our special day memorable and fun! We will (and have been already) recommending him for future weddings! read more

Chris was incredible! He went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. He helped us set up a day-of timeline, coordinated with our other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly, made room dividers for our ceremony, strung ceiling lights, walked us through our rehearsal, and acted as a master of ceremonies. The music was great for guests of all ages (some even asked for a playlist of it) and kept people dancing until the end of the night. Chris made the planning so much easier on us and made our wedding day magical. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ! read more

We used Chris as the DJ for my daughter's bat mitzvah in March 2022. He was great! He really listened to our wants and needs and helped create the environment we wanted for our party. A big concern of ours had been the volume of music as we find the volume is often too loud at events - Chris kept the volume at a perfect level that allowed for dancing and for conversation. He also did a great job selecting music that both kids and adults wanted to dance to so everyone was able to enjoy and have a good time. Definitely recommend. read more

My partner and I used Chris for our wedding a few weeks ago and we have no regrets. Throughout the entire process he was professional, timely, and always willing to help. He was incredibly organized from our first meeting to the event itself. Our ceremony went off without any issues. The music for the cocktails, reception and dancing was great! He incorporated lots of songs we personally liked as well as crowd favorites. I would highly recommend Chris for any event and would work with him again in the future read more

In Chris you will get the best DJ and Master of Ceremonies there is. You will also get an extremely professional, thorough, and meticulous planner who will take the stress off of you for your event and let you enjoy your day. Chris was a joy to work with and turned our event into something truly memorable. His recommendations were all spot-on, and we received a ton of compliments from our guests (both young and old). I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

We were looking for a specific vibe and wanted to rent speakers for our venue. Once we told Chris what we were looking for, he suggested a set up that ended up working really well! He worked with our officiant to set up the mics, and moved the speaker's based on our layout and flow. He was so nice and patient and made our day work flawlessly! If we had to do it again, we would pick Chris for speaker rental every time!! Highly recommend!!! read more
