    Amazing Party

    TJ was very professional and put on a great show. He interacted with the crowd - the locomotion into the chicken dance was ingenious and everyone loved it. The fog was neat, the lights played off of the fog, and it looked like dancing in a cloud. The music was a great variety that spanned multiple generations and genres and kept the dance floor rocking. You really can't go wrong with him and his seemingly psychic intuition about how to connect with the crowd.

    TJ was excellent. He provided us with an entire road map for our wedding. He sat down with our MCs and guided them. He helped us to define crucial parts of the ceremony and reception. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

    You know you have a great DJ when the dance floor stays packed all night! That's TJ the DJ!!! Very professional and very entertaining all in one. I have hired him a few times now for his DJ services and his photobooth. All the people at my events have said his DJ'ing is awesome. He has a great light show and awesome sound! His photobooth had lots of good props and he works hard to make sure your event logo is well designed. He works with his clients to ensure their experience is unforgettable! You won't be disappointed, hire him form your event!!

    Teah-Jay was willing to come out to our place for planning the event even when it was an hour away from Red Deer. He was great at working with us to suit our needs and the music he chose at the wedding dance was spot on for what we wanted. He had a good sound system and was great at communicating with guests about songs they'd like to hear. The only thing that we didn't really like was that he seemed expensive and liked to tack on extra costs whenever possible, it seemed.
    The photobooth was great with tons of props.

    TJ The DJ's reply:

    Our reception package includes all the necessary elements to make an event a success. Items not commonly used, such as projectors/Screens, monograms, architectural lighting and atmospheric effects are never included and charged additionally with any other service. No one should have to pay for items they are not using. Please read our other reviews about the great quality and value we provide.

    We are very satisfied with the services Tj the Dj provided for us. Our wedding was only a couple months away when we contacted Tj and we were sure happy to have found such an amazing person to work with. He gave us many ideas for our wedding day and not just to do with music as he is a planner as well. Very pleasant, organized person and quick with getting back with the information we needed. Ourselves and our guests were extremely happy with the music played; we had many compliments and also there was the set up of lights that made the dance floor and room look spectacular. We would recommend Tj to anyone looking for exceptional Dj service. Thank you for everything!
