DJ on the Side Entertainment

Chris was great! He was very energetic and did an awesome job with the music and really mixed it up to keep all different ages on the dance floor throughout the night. He also helped us with the timeline of the night and kept everything flowing. Their online client website is very easy to work with and it helped us make sure every song we wanted was played. Highly recommend him!

This DJ Company is great! Extremely professional and helpful. The DJ at my wedding really worked with us, he sat down with us and really took the time to help us plan the perfect wedding. They really kept the flow of our wedding going too. I would recommend them to anyone!

Mike Liggins was my DJ for my wedding. He did an awesome job! I will be using him in the future for any other events I am coordinating. He was friendly, showed up on time and did everything we asked of him.

Ryan made our wedding and ceremony fabulous. Ryan really worked to customize his music list to our tastes and our guests. Our wedding was very family and child oriented and we told Ryan that as long as our music loving five year old was having a blast then we’d be happy. He met and exceeded that goal by downloading music just geared to that crowd. He also played a great variety for the adults to enjoy as the party went on. We would absolutely work with Ryan again and recommend him to anyone.

By the far the best DJ I have ever seen at a wedding. People kept talking about what a wonderful job he did. He went above and beyond what was required of him, was incredibly easy to work with, and made our wedding reception a ton of fun. Would DEFINITELY recommend him.

I would absolutely recommend D.J. on the side to any bride and groom! Hands down, the music and flow of the night was the most important thing to me and having a background in event planning myself, I have seen a fair share of DJ'S. Trevor, our DJ, did a great job...he kept us dancing to the wee hours of the night and was very helpful in keeping our timeline for the nights festivities on track! I love that you can use the online tool that they offer to help set up your song list and timeline. They did a great job and I will surely recommend them to any of my future clients!

Awesome company! I called DJ on the Side literally 2 weeks before my wedding because my original DJ bailed on me. They scheduled me a DJ without a problem and saved the day! Ryan Brooks was a phenomenal DJ- can't say enough good things about him!

My husband and I chose to have Chris (the owner) be the DJ for our wedding, and he was great! I was very impressed with his ability to keep things moving. His introductions were great and he asked for very specific information to make our reception fit our many preferences. He asked for music we definitely wanted to play, definitely did not want played, and met with us twice to make sure he had everything the way we wanted it! He had practically every song people requested to have played, he was very professional, and even when things started getting crazy, with my relatives that drank too much, he was able to keep the speeches to a minimum. I really enjoyed having him DJ our wedding. He was also the DJ at one of our friends wedding as was just as amazing, so I know it wasn't a one-time thing. Thanks, Chris, for making our special day extra special!!!!

I recently got married in early September 2010 and depended a lot on reviews from wedding wire to help me select an awesome DJ. I was impressed with what I read about Chris from DJ on the Side Entertainment and so I booked him. Chris met all my expections and even went above and beyond to deliver an amazing reception. We were able to meet twice before the wedding day and went through all the details and expectations of the reception. He gave us some great suggestions on music and timelines for the evening. He left us feeling great and relaxed about the reception as my fiance and I left with big smiles on our faces. The fact that Chris was familiar with other reception venues in the area was a plus too. Chris did an amazing job as the MC and the DJ. Not only was the music selection great, but the way he organized the music to have a great flow kept everyone on the dance floor throughout the night. He was great with all my guests too as he was able to announce what event would be next to give them plenty of time to set up for pictures. To this day I still receive phone calls and email from my guests telling me that they had an awesome-fun time at the reception and want to know the name of the amazing DJ that we booked. The DJ/MC really does make a big difference on any reception and you will not at all be dissapointed with Chris from DJ on the Side. I would book him for any future special occasions. Chris, thank you for giving us a perfect reception.

DJ On The Side was awesome! They made our wedding such a fun time! They did everything we asked for and more! They were fabulous to work with as well! Thanks for making our day awesome !

Chris was the DJ for our wedding in Cape Charles. He was awesome! He was really great at switching up the mood from cocktail hour, to dinner, and then to dancing. He had a packed dancefloor all night long! He was very attentive to what kind of music we did and did not want played at the reception, and we had a pretty young crowd so we really wanted it to be a big, fun party. We got just that. Chris was punctual and very friendly, and I'd recommend him to anyone!

We cannot say enough great things about our experience with DJ on the side! We worked with Trevor for our wedding reception, and from the beginning, we knew he was a great personality fit. He was helpful during the planning stages, and met with us several times before the wedding to go over announcements and the order of the night. Trevor even provided a schedule to our venue and photographer, so everyone was on the same page for the pacing of the evening. He gave us many options, and we used DJOTS's online planning tools to create song lists. Trevor really listened to our requests, and kept the evening flowing from cocktails to the last dance! Great work! Megan and Adam Perry

Chris is super to work with. Very prompt to reply to emails and return phone calls. The website was fun to play around with the planning tools. We told our DJ, Ed, to play anything that kept people having fun and we had a crowd dancing the whole night. He even played over our timeline. He was great and took requests from all the guests. We had so much fun dancing!! I was surprised by how much dancing our crowd of fairly shy/non-dancing folks kept up on the dance floor!

DJ on the Side Entertainment is very professional to work with. We were lucky enough to have Chris (the owner) as our DJ. Our group of friends like him so much 2 of my other friends used him too! He has the right balance of new music and old music to keep everyone dancing the whole night! He is so good at planning out the entire night. He had great equipment and knew exactly when to start switching up music depending on the moment. My husband and I live in Northern Virginia and Chris even drove up to meet us to discuss the details of the night! And he lives in Cheasapeake VA. Plus... he drove all the way out to Hot Springs, VA for my wedding, with only a small travel fee. He makes the night a great experiance!

DJ on the Side provided excellent DJ & MC services for my daughter's wedding. As I was also the wedding planner, DJ on the Side made coordination so much easier by meeting with the bride & groom months before the wedding to assure that the reception music and flow was exactly what they wanted. I highly recommend them. Also, price-wise, they charged about the same as other DJs in the area.

Great time - would recommend. Very prompt and great interacting with the guests.

You will not find better customer service than DJ on the Side. I never once sent an email or inquiry that wasn't responded to within an hour. I have never seen customer service like this. They got it right! Trevor was our DJ and was fantastic. People are still raving about the reception 3 months later! Their online system is incredible and gives you as much or little control as you want. I never once had to worry about my DJ once I booked them because I knew it would be top notch, and that it was. Truly the best of the best, and they have great prices! Seriously, it does not get any better than DJ On The Side. They make you feel like family. Even though Trevor was my DJ, Chris (the owner) made sure to check in with me and see how I was doing and how planning was going. If you want the absolute best party for your reception go with DJ On The Side. You will NOT be disappointed!

I can't recommend Dj on the Side enough. My wedding reception was a blast thanks to them! Chris was fun, professional, and a great MC. He played music the entire crowd loved from my college aged friends to my 3 year old nephew to my 80+ grandparents. My wedding was on New Year's Eve, so the DJ was one of the most important parts of the reception! Their online tools are awesome. They answer any questions you might have, whether by phone or via e-mail, super fast. Chris even helped me create the timeline for my big day! Their prices are more than fair, I actually came in under budget. Money well spent. DJ on the Side is the best choice there is!

Absolutely fanastic!

Jim Myers was our DJ. He was outstanding. We had some "challenging" circumstances (terrible weather, venue-difficulties, and tricky family dynamics) - and Jim's performance helped us have a fabulous party anyway! Chris and Cammie were professional, responsive, and pleasant. I never worried about this vendor during our planning process, and on the day of the wedding, Jim completely lived up to our expectations. I would recommend this company to anyone - it was a pleasure to work with them.
