MJ was incredible to work with from start to finish of the wedding process. We knew we wanted him to be our DJ after our first video conference with him. He was incredibly knowledgeable, down to earth and pleasant to work with. We had a special entrance we wanted to do that we mentioned to him in our first conversation and he offered to send us material to help us out with it even if we didn't hire him.
That spoke volumes to us about MJ's character and desire to help people throw an awesome wedding party! MJ was helpful during the planning stages and his website was very easy to use and served as an excellent resource for building our playlist. Day of the wedding MJ, was an excellent MC and kept the night flowing. He kept us updated on the timeline and made sure we hit all of our must haves. My wife and I were on the dance floor all night which is a testament to our AWESOME DJ. Without hesitation would recommend MJ at Junction 88 to anyone! Great DJ and even better person.

We used Junction 88 for our wedding at the Orlando Science Center. DJ MJ was a great communicator during the planning phases and was very responsive. Their site to curate the playlist was easy to navigate. DJ Dan was wonderful to work with the day of the wedding. We had a huge song request list we consolidated prior and he helped narrow down the selection to songs that kept the party going until the end of the night.
Over half of our party of 90 stayed until our 10:30pm send-off (we had a 3pm ceremony at a Catholic church, so it's a long day)! Their recommendations on lighting and the overall schedule made everything beautiful and the helped entire wedding run smoothly.

MJ was very organized and professional from the initial interest meeting to the day of the event. He really goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a good time. He genuinely cares about his clients and making sure that every box is checked. Highly recommend using MJ and allowing him to do uplighting at any venue. It was awesome!

MJ is awesome! He made our wedding the party of the year; we are still getting compliments months later on how much fun everyone had on the dancefloor. Not only did he DJ, but he also set up all of the lighting. He worked with us to coordinate specific light changes during our first dance to really give it a dramatic effect. Thank you for helping make our wedding so special and fun!

Junction88 DJMJ -If you want a fun and dependable DJ who is personable, flexible, experienced and accommodating, this is the DJ for your event. We chose him as the DJ for our daughter's big tropical wedding. As announcer, he kept the party moving along. As motivator, he encouraged guests to participate in dances & outdoor games. His trivia game on our cellphones was very popular. The photo booth option was busy all evening with a encouraging attendant.
Photo strips were guest favors and a copy of each went into the bride & groom's guestbook. His uplighting created the cozy ambiance for our tropical wedding, spotlighted our newlyweds and the lovely cake. Everyone said that this was the most beautiful and most fun wedding they've ever attended! Junction88 DJMJ is fabulous!

I would recommend MJ to absolutely ANYONE. He was so easy to work with, and the planning site made it so easy to choose the music that we wanted to hear on our big night. MJ even look a call from my Matron of Honor and coordinated a surprise for our reception with her! MJ is enthusiastic about what he does, and that enthusiasm shows through when he's in action. If you want your guests to have a good time - Book MJ & Junction 88!

We used Junction 88 as a vendor for our wedding and we couldn't be more grateful towards MJ! He was truly amazing to work with and was extremely professional. He remained in contact with us, easy to talk to, and was quick to respond. We and our guest absolutely loved the cold sparkles that they provided us and it just lit up our photos. I highly recommend hiring MJ and his team. They were truly a dream to work with!
