DJ Armando was phenomenal. His public speaking stood out right away. He can craft great copy on the spot, adapt instantly, and guide a crowd with total clarity. We had a vow renewal, not a wedding, and we needed energy without placing all the attention on us. With just a few notes from us, he built an intro that captured exactly who we are and set the tone for the entire night. We shared playlists, and he locked onto the vibe immediately. Our guests were energized from start to finish. He has a strong grasp of crowd flow, emotional pacing, and the impact of small decisions. When my dad decided last minute that he wanted to give a thank you speech, Armando suggested placing it after the best people speeches. His reasoning was spot on. It ended the speech block with the right emotional weight. He also recommended we escort my grandma up for her performance, a detail that made the moment feel intentional and deeply meaningful. Communication was always professional. Quick replies, organized documentation, and clear calls made planning straightforward. If you book him, bring your vision. Have playlists ready, think through your must-haves and hard rules, and practice any timing-specific requests you want executed precisely. We learned this with our ceremony-kiss music cue, which was only semi-aligned. Also be explicit about boundaries. We said yes to guest requests but no line dances, so when someone requested one, Cupid Shuffle briefly slipped in. He cut it short, which we appreciated. Throughout the night he kept checking in, updating us on timing shifts and transitions. It gave us confidence that everything was flowing exactly as it should. Armando knows how to shape a night, read a room, and elevate the experience tailored to his clients. We couldn't have asked for a better master of ceremonies and event partner! read more

Great DJ! From the start of booking, Armando answered any questions, concerns and obliged to any music requests. My husband is a musician and he mentioned how smooth his delivery was, and how he had a great tone and voice for the microphone. Q the Music Entertainment was hired for our annual Halloween party this year. They showed up on time, had a great set up, even added extra lights of his own to our entrance. As a DJ, you gotta feel the crowd and you gotta keep them dancing and he did just that. My entire family and our guests were incredibly impressed with this year's music entertainment and want him back next year! Thank you Q the Music Entertainment! You delivered a fun time, everyone is still talking how this was the best year. We look forward to hiring you again and referring your services to others read more

We worked Armando at Q the Music Entertainment for our wedding last weekend and he was phenomenal! He worked with us along the way to select playlists and getting our weddings songs together. He made sure to cover all bases, we specifically wanted to make sure our guests knew where all our tables were, including our guest book, food, snacks, Photo Booth, and audio book. He announced everything all night and we had MANY guests compliment Armando and his energy after the wedding was over. He even got on the dance floor with us towards the end of the night! Thank you so much Armando for making our wedding the best day of our lives. We are forever grateful for you and your work! I would highly recommend him again for any future events. -The Ledfords read more

DJ Armando was the Best!! I hired him for my 50th Birthday Celebration and I would hire him again without a doubt.

Don't hesitate...call Q the music entertainment, you won't regret it! read more

Wish I can give more than 5 stars! I recently had DJ Armando DJ my daughter-in-law's Cholo themed 30th birthday party and he did not disappoint. DJ Armando played all the great oldies and had everyone "ELBOWS UP" the whole night! Even 70+ year olds got out on the dance floor ELBOWS UP! He played a song that he's been wanting to play for 20 years and surprised a lot of people that he even had that song. DJ Armando really dug deep into the classic Cholo style music and went waaaaaaaaay above and beyond my expectations. I will always hire DJ Armando for all of my parties. No matter what theme, he no doubt knows and has the perfect music for it! If you don't book DJ Armando for your party, you are missing out BIG time! THANK YOU, DJ ARMANDO, FOR THE BEST NIGHT EVER!!! read more

Armando did such a wonderful job as our DJ and MC for our wedding in June! He was very communicative and respectful with our requests and questions. He went above and beyond. Armando went as far as to re-cut our first dance songs (it was two put together) after noticing the cut we handed him was a low audio quality. He helped make our wedding so much fun and memorable. Thank you Armando! read more

Booked DJ Armando for my wedding in May 2022 and he was absolutely amazing. He was fun, had fun lively music, and had a great ambiance going. We got the package with the Photo Booth and we were not disappointed! It was such a fun touch to the wedding and everyone got to take memories home. Armando and his wife went above and beyond for us at our wedding. They gave a helping hand when needed and even attended to my husband and I. Funny because that was not their job and they didn't have to, but they did anyway! That just shows what kind of person they are. That is what really stood out to us the most, something we will never forget! I look forward to booking Q the music again for future events. Thank you Q the music for being SOOO AMAZING! read more

Best DJ! I am thankful for the attention to detail that Armando puts into his role! He is a master of his craft! Our event was casual and did not have a specific schedule plan but Armando was ready every time I asked him to make an announcement. He had with the right words for the party attendees and the perfect music all night from background to dancing! read more

Absolutely the BEST DJ & MC! We have used Armando a few times. He gets the crowd involve and get the party going. You will not be dissapointed read more

DJ Armando is great at what he does. He spent time meeting with us,.put in some suggestions and was prompt and very professional. He did Mc or host on my daughter's debut party and my daughter and her friends had so much fun. Tysm Q music. You are awesome read more

I'm not even sure how many times I have hired Armando and Q the Music for events. He has performed at both personal and school events. He is absolutely my "go to" DJ, and everybody winds up loving him by the end of the night. Armando is super easy to work with, and has great suggestions. He is wonderful at following schedules and is a fabulous "Master of Ceremonies". I don't worry about a thing when Armando is in charge... I just sit back and enjoy the party read more

Wow! Armando is amazing. He was the epitome of professionalism AND beyond extraordinary, when providing the music for a friend's 50th wedding anniversary and later my 60th Birthday celebration. 90% of guests stayed until the party ended dancing and laughing and having a great time. In fact we all, including Armando had a great time.... the party went into 30 minutes overtime! What a fun night! So how did this seemingly effortless, memorable night happen? To begin, Armando met with me and a friend to get a better idea of the theme (Great Gatsby), the invited guests, and what we wanted in terms of music, the kind of dancing guests would do, and our overall entertainment for the evening. He asked for songs we may have specifically wanted to have him play. The party was a smashing success thanks to Armando and all the thought and work on his Playlist he did in preparation for the evening. I recently was asked to coordinate dancing for guests at a well known retirement home, for their 60th anniversary event. The Board is going all out, and hired a live Band for the event. Wellll...... this is where I realized just how REALLY amazing Armando is!! When the live band...The Ravelers, a local "top rated" band, were asked for a Playlist for the evening so that older residents could practice dancing in preparation for the event, the answer was " we won't have our Playlist until the night before the event." When asked if they could play three extremely popular songs from the 60s (the party's theme) the reply " one one of the guys lives four ours a way so they can't practice and learn new songs" BUT suggested one song he knew they would play... a country western song from 1978 [wow what happened to the 60s!?) What a contrast!!! I knew Armando was amazing, but until now I took for granted his professionalism, thought and the preparation he puts into his events. These Ravelers advertise that they do party and wedding events, but they really are just doing a concert where "they hope people feel their beat and dance." BUT Armando is the REAL thing!!!! He wants to know the theme, who the guests are, what type of songs and dancing you would like and overall creating a "wow, best party ever" feeling as guests wrap up for the evening. Put another way he is the difference between "Meh" and "Most fun ever." Thank you Armando/Q The Music !!!! read more

Our wedding coordinator recommended this business. DJ Armando was very helpful throughout the entire process. He matched us with a co worker, Will, who was just a perfect fit for us. He met with us way before the wedding to see what we wanted. He listened and offered his expert advice too. We spoke again before the wedding a couple of times to firm up details. All along the way, he reassured us that we were in good hands. We were in great hands! All went smoothly with the church music and at the reception. He did as we had discussed and we would highly recommend Will and this business. read more

DJ Armando is the bride whisperer! He goes above and beyond to make you feel like a guest at your own wedding. He's awesome and we couldn't recommend him more. read more

There aren't TEN stars??? boo hoo! This company, this man, the BOMB... I'm a caterer since 1990 and have seen my share of DJ's... he's at the top of my list. LOVE LOVE LOVE him! read more

This guy right here!!! I've known this DJ for a few years now, and when he did my Mom's 70th birthday party celebration back in 2011, it was then that I knew I never had to search for a DJ again, EVER. If you want to "Get Nuts, Get a little Crazy and Do the Homey Pokey" all in a matter of a few hours.... He's your DJ. Seriously, never have I seen one man bring such a positive energy to a crowd of people, even when a night starts off a little low energy, as soon as it's his turn to take over... EVERYONE is High Energy. I just got married on 9/24/2022 and my husband and I are both sober. I'll admit, I didn't care about the absence of alcohol, but I was a bit worried about my guests, were they all going to leave early? Would anyone dance without the liquid courage? Would they have fun? All of my worries were unfounded, DJ Armando, his wife and their youngest son KILLED IT. The entire afternoon people were dancing, laughing, having the greatest time. People at our church called it the "even of the year!" This would NOT have happened if DJ Armando hadn't played the right music at the right time. Had the must dos happen at the right moment (Cake entrance, bouquet and garter toss). He even remembered I have a love for 1950's Do-Wop and to play my brother and his wife's song for them to have their "First Dance" which they were robbed of having during the COVID pandemic. If you want your event to go flawlessly and for your guests to enjoy every moment, stop looking. This is your Party Deejay! read more

Armando is the best!!! We met him a few years ago, at my niece wedding, and we had a blast! Then my sister hired him for an open house last year, and we had a great time. This time, we hired him for my daughter's "sixteeñera" and everyone had a great time. He accommodated the music according to our requests, and my daughter and friends had a wonderful time. He even remembered a song we requested at my niece's wedding, and he played it at my daughter's party. I highly recommend Armando's music for your events!!! I feel like he is already part of our family. read more

My husband and I absolutely loved Armando! Hands down best DJ ever. He was so engaging and lively for our wedding reception. He spoke with our bridal party before the grand entrance, so everyone knew what to do. He also spoke beforehand with everyone who had to make speeches, so they knew exactly how it was going to flow. He played every song that my husband and I requested, and also played songs that our guests requested. He made our reception so fun and memorable! I'm bummed that we don't have any events coming up anytime soon for when we need a DJ, but when we do... we know who we're calling! read more

Q The music was the best choice for our wedding. He was professional and entertaining. They made all the difference and made our wedding perfect. We had a blended family of American and Mexican in our wedding and he was able to entertain both. We cant thank you enough, everyone left saying how great our MC was. Thank you for keeping our dance floor full, that's how we know our guests were enjoying themselves. Anyone who uses a different MC will surely regret it. Thank a thousand times. read more

Finding the right DJ for any event can be a challenge, but when my old classmates decided to throw a huge 30-year high school reunion, I knew exactly who to have as our DJ. Armando knew exactly what to play - we had requested nothing but 80's (being the Class of '87, of course), and he delivered! We danced the night away and sang our hearts out. Thank you, Armando for making a fantastic night even more memorable. Seek out this guy - you will not be disappointed! read more

We recently had the great opportunity to have Armando serve as our DJ at our daughter's wedding. He is the most wonderful DJ! The Saturday wedding was proceeded by three days of rain and 24 hours without power. Our family was rushing to get everything ready. Armando was our calm leader! He was so personable. He kept everyone dancing, laughing, and enjoying the party. Armando took the time to get to know my daughter and her groom and brought that personalization to the wedding. I would definitely hire Armando again for a future event. read more

If you're looking for a DJ for any event Armando is your man! We have been two quite a few weddings that he was used at so we already knew he was amazing but boy did he go above and beyond for our wedding. He's been in the business and it shows. I did all the planning for the wedding myself and Armando was a huge help with the timeline. I chose a few songs and left the rest up to him with the instructions that we just want to dance and that's what we did all night long. Thank you so much Armando, you are THE BEST! read more

We were highly satisfied with the DJ services provided by Q the Music. Communication was wide open pre-event , he was reliable, on time, professional, an all around great guy, flexible with our schedule, helped us to navigate through the evening as it developed, was expert at coming up with the decade era music that we were looking for, was so personable with my guests and with the guest of honor who turned 85. He even danced with my 85 year old mother who has dementia. He was so.good with her and she loved him. He worked really well with the dance instructor that we hired and coordinated everything for their performance. He even added lighting to some of our stage decorations which was an added touch that was over and above anything we expected. It is so important to know you can trust a vendor to deliver and Q the Music did not disappoint in any way. He was like part of the family by the end of the evening. He comes highly recommended for any type of occasion. read more

I can't stop talking about how amazing Armando was!

He got the crowd moving and even jumped in and showed us some dance moves! I can't wait to have another party just so we can book him! You definitely will not be disappointed! read more

DJ Armando is awesome! My wife and I had a backyard wedding at our home and we had to coordinate everything ourselves. However, with the help of Armando, he made things a lot easier for us. He created a timeline of events with music from when the ceremony began to the end of the reception. It made our wedding very organized and Armando made sure that we didn't miss any of our special moments. He was very professional and entertaining on the microphone throughout our whole wedding. His upbeat energy was helpful in getting everyone moving on the dance floor. He made sure all of our family and friends enjoyed the entire wedding. We really appreciate all of the music and help he provided. If you're looking for a DJ I highly recommend DJ Armando! read more

Thank you Armando for a wonderful time ! read more

DJ Pete was great at my mother's 50th surprise birthday party. We booked at the last minute, so there was minimal prep work done, but he kept the party going all night! He did a great job balancing his "radio commentary" and just playing music that he could tell fit that moment. He did a great job playing a little bit of everything, to help fit our eclectic music taste. He was also extremely helpful in helping us inform and gather guests (since there was over 100 guests). He was professional and was the one party vendor that we didn't have to keep checking in with or watching over. I would definitely book with them again. read more

Armando is amazing!!! He did an event for our baseball opening day and did an awesome job! I definitely recommend him for any event.

Armando did an amazing job at my wedding! He was on top of everything and helped us out with our timeline! He got the crowd moving and we could not be happier! Use Armando for any DJing needs!!! read more

DJ Armando is a friendly guy, organized and professional, great with a crowd and can play a large variety of music. Very good with requests. His set-up is on the simple side, but he has a few lights synced to the music and the speakers are plenty loud for small to mid-sized groups. I would give him 5 stars EXCEPT he steps on the ends of songs too often, occasionally so bad so, he butchers the song. Not sure why he does it since the crowd didn't care at this particular event. Still, I'd recommend him to anybody. read more

Where do i even start! Armando is AMAZING!!!! He's seriously the absolute best! My husband and I had him DJ our wedding and he goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and special for your event! He takes the time to talk to you and care and put everything in order weeks ahead of time so it's one less thing for you to worry about. He physically sits with you and goes through each section and will play the songs you choose and make sure that it is the correct version you want. Connie is amazing when it comes time to do your photo booth design if you have that as well. Overall they are a fantastic team and i would DEFINITELY recommend them for any event! You go with Q the Music you will NOT be sorry! You will have the best stress free read more

My wife and I booked Armando for our wedding ceremony that happened in late October and we wanted to leave a review and let everyone know how pleasant it was to have him as our DJ. Armando was extremely professional from the day of our initial meeting to the day of the wedding. He was well prepared, organized, and had an excellent attitude. He made sure that everything was catered to us and was thorough with his work. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early, dressed professionally, and completely nailed the atmosphere we were looking for at our wedding. He did an amazing job setting the mood of the night. Let me just say the dance floor was full. Armando is an excellent DJ and we will definitely use him for any of our future events. If you are looking for an excellent DJ for your wedding, or any event for that matter, give him a try, you will definitely not regret it. Thanks Armando! read more

DJ Armando was incredible. I've never met a DJ like him. He was organized, precise, so so live, he made the wedding happen. Without Armando, I would've been lost. I would recommend him in a heart beat. Thank you so much. read more
