This man ruined my wedding. He was unprofessional, belligerent, drunk, and absolutely inappropriate. He played Gold Digger. At my wedding. The explicit version. With children in the room. He refused to turn down the volume of music during dinner, and refused to play any of the songs that I requested. Despite speaking with him prior to the wedding about what songs we wanted played during dinner and for dancing, spending hours filling out his extensive online worksheet listing "MUST PLAY", "WOULD LIKE PLAYED", and "DO NOT PLAY" songs, he played almost exclusively his own picks or songs on my DO NOT PLAY list. He told me during our conversation that he was good at reading the crowd, and would be able to play a good mix of songs that would keep people on the dance floor. I was mortified. His music drove 1/3rd of guests home, and another 1/3rd of my guests outside of the ballroom to escape his music. I tried my best to be on the dance floor despite the undanceable song choices (including 500 Miles?!?) and disco garbage. I am a dancer, and several of my guests are swing dancers. It was impossible to dance that night. What made things worse is that John Rzasa, THE DJ, kept trying to dance with me. He even tried to cut in on my husband, then got on the microphone and called my husband jealous because he wouldn't let THE DJ DANCE WITH HIS NEW BRIDE. I finally just left the dance floor because the songs were unbearable and the DJ wouldn't stop harassing me. I went outside to the concrete patio with the rest of my guests and danced with my swing dancer friends to songs we played on our cell phones. When I finally went back inside to get a drink, he was playing a song on my DO NOT PLAY list, trying to lead a line dance with a handful of reluctant guests. When he saw me come in, he rushed back to the microphone to say "Oops, the bride is back. This was on her do not play list!" while grinning. When he finally did play something that I had requested, he prefaced the song by saying "I will allow this, just this once" while glaring at me menacingly. At the end of the night, he cut off the music abruptly in the middle of the last song, and announced that the evening was over. He then tried to drunkenly embrace and kiss my guests who were leaving. My mother-in-law was horrified. It was a nightmarish experience. Unfortunately, the nightmare didn't end there. I emailed him to express my absolute horror at the evening. Ever since then, he has been non stop calling me and texting me almost exclusively between the hours of 11pm and 5am despite my multiple attempts to ask him to stop harassing me and to simply respond by email. I have had to block his number as he will not stop harassing me. I have since talked with several guests who were too embarrassed to say anything on the day of the wedding because they thought the terrible songs were requested by me. What was supposed to be a wonderful day of friends, family, good food, and dancing has become a terrible memory. I have almost no pictures or video of dancing because the dance floor was embarrassingly empty for almost the entire night. John has failed to respond to my emails. He has failed to offer any reparations for his drunken and inappropriate behavior. I only hope that by posting this review, he will never again have a chance to ruin someone's wedding. read more

We used DJ Evan from Party Pro DJ for our wedding. Evan was very nice, and Beth (the manager) was incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind. I would definitely recommend using this company, BUT with some major caveats that I wish I had clarified. PROS: Very professional, responsive, reasonably priced, great website, MOSTLY followed our instructions that we wanted a DJ who was completely non-involved. We did not want the kind of DJ who bellows, "And nowwww, presenting for the verrrrry first time...put your hands together for MR. AND MRS. SMITH!!!!" In other words, we didn't want anyone who sounded like they could double as a radio DJ or a WWE announcer. We wanted someone who would quietly put songs on the stereo from the corner, and maybe say "If folks could please take their seats, dinner is about to be served." That's it. Evan did a GREAT job of this, except for during the cake cutting, when he took it upon himself to narrate the entire thing, which just made me cringe and whisper to my new husband "What is he doing?!?" It was distracting and tacky. CONS: The one thing we cared about most was having a DJ that would give us full control over the songs. Party Pro is perfect for this because you can create as much or little of your playlist as you want (re: you can create 100%, and we tried to). We used their website to create three playlists: "Dinner Music," "Must Plays," and "Would Likes," which are the lists the website prompts you with. (There is also a "Don't Play" list, to which we said "anything not on our other lists"). Evan did only play songs from our three lists, so that was good and as expected. However, apparently we also needed to be explicit about the fact that the songs on the "Must Play" list were higher priorities than the songs on the "Would Like" list. We weren't, because we thought this was very obvious from the titles of the lists (are we crazy there?!?). I also referred to these lists as "Tier 1" and "Tier 2" throughout my correspondence with Evan and Beth, so I thought that also made it clear. Not so much. Evan played many songs from the Tier 2 list before getting to all of the Tier 1 list, and as a result, many of the songs we had really, really cared about hearing were never played because there wasn't time. There was more than enough time for the whole Tier 1 list, but we had put extra songs on the Tier 2 list just for a buffer. It was very frustrating to hear Tier 2 songs before all the Tier 1 songs were played (actually, I think he ended up playing more Tier 2s, which really made me mad!). Ultimately, it was fine, because we had a dance-friendly crowd and, quite frankly, the Tier 2 songs were still good enough to keep everyone on the dance floor the whole night. So from that angle, Evan was great. But we had put some very danceable songs on our Tier 1 list that also had great sentimental value, and many of these were sorely missed by my husband and me. I will confess this is my only regret about our wedding (not a huge one, but a regret nonetheless). Looking back, I really think we were clear enough in our prep meeting about what we wanted, but apparently not--too late for us, but not for you. : ) All of that being said, I would still recommend Evan and Party Pro...just make sure you spell everything out six ways from Sunday. read more

I think the DJ John Razdan, behavior is questionable during my daughter wedding. I will see him go to the bar for drink (liquor), and dance with the bride, very Unappropriated. Playing not appropriate music. I am very disappointed. read more

Thank you thank you PartyPro DJ for doing such an amazing job at our Valentines Day Wedding!! You made our evening magical, fun, and one huge party and for that we are forever grateful!! We truly couldn't have asked for a more fun musical evening and we can't say enough about how much we appreciate all that you did in preparation for our big day!! Beth Angel, the owner of Party Pro DJ was amazing to work with! Very accommodating, easy to reach via Email and Telephone, always willing to set aside time to chat, she answered all of our questions thoroughly and from the moment we first met with her, we new her company would be our first choice! DJ John was our DJ and he did an outstanding job! He kept the entire wedding up and dancing from 8pm-1am, we literally had the most amazing night and couldn't have asked for more! They played all of our music from our playlist, and asked us (bride and groom) personally about all the suggestions that people requested on the dance floor, if it was okay to "play"! We thought that was awesome! We truly were in control the whole night! Everything was amazing about our DJ experience and we would HIGHLY recommend going with PartyPro DJ if you're looking for an amazing time!! Thank you again!! Lisa and Adam White read more

I used Party Pro DJ for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen Party. Beth the manager was very attentive and helpful when planning her party. The lighting coordinator Michael and the DJ Adam were AMAZING!!!! They were so much help at the party. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. They jumped right in when ever I needed it. All the guests had a great time. Adam kept the party moving - the music was great. The guests didn't stop dancing from the time they got there until they left. The lights worked perfectly and looked great. I will definitely recommend the company to everyone I know. I chose to go with this company after speaking with Beth because she made me feel like she cared about my daughter and that it mattered to her that my daughter had a great party. I'm so glad I made that choice! read more

All I can say is WOW! Party Pro DJ nailed it!!!!!! Our wedding was brought from awesome to legendary because of John and his team. The music John and Kristen played could not have been better which kept people on the dance floor all night long. Also, their day of wedding planning help was a total lifesaver. Annie literally did it all. We had a bridesmaid dress emergency and she was in the other room ironing her dress while we were getting ready. She carried my bag, helped hold the light for the photographer, got my drinks, and took care of anything me or my bridesmaids could have possibly needed. Hiring this dream team was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding. If you want to make sure you have the best day of your life on your wedding day, hire this team of people. They are the best! read more

Beth was professional, prompt, organized and efficient from the first time we contacted her. She made the process easy, and tailored it to precisely what we wanted. We knew we were going to book them within the first 15 minutes of meeting with Beth. Jeff was our DJ and he was just as wonderful. They were an efficient team who kept our wedding moving smoothly without us needing to think about a thing. Jeff judged our crowd and kept the dance floor going until the very last moment. We highly recommend Party Pro DJ and would absolutely book them again for any function we would need a DJ. read more
