Bonnie was wonderful and such an integral part of making our wedding the incredible dance party that it became! Everyone had such a blast! Everyone loved her and we are still getting compliments about her from our guests. The flow of songs was perfect and we all had such a great time on the dance floor. Thank you so much Bonnie!

Bonnie is awesome! She brought down the house at our wedding and was just a dream to work with from start to finish. From our first call it was only good vibes -- she is warm, knowledgeable, and helped us think through a lot of the early schedule logistics. We got married at Elings Park, which can be a challenging venue because they closely regulate and monitor decibel levels. Having a quiet dance floor was one of our biggest concerns, but Bonnie navigated it like a pro.
She worked with the park official, adjusted the speakers, and gave us the great dance party we had hoped for. She will play exactly what you want (if you're picky like we are), fill in the gaps, or take the lead if that is more your speed. Our guests both young and old loved Bonnie and we couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. Thank you for making the evening so special and memorable!

From the time I first spoke with Bonnie, I knew I had won the jackpot on DJs. She is soo personable, and easily to work with. Bonnie helped me plan my wedding timeline as I knew nothing about weddings and what makes them work. The wedding turned out sooo great! with the photobooth, the music choices, and lighting, it was a magical evening!

Bonnie was so incredibly easy to work with. After one call, we know she would be a great fit for our wedding. She was very receptive to the playlist and guidelines we prepared for her and worked seamlessly with our other vendors on the day of the wedding. We had an amazing dance party where everyone was getting down on the floor thanks to her! She's also the absolute sweetest person and gave us a nice wedding gift after the reception. I highly recommend booking Bonnie!

Bonnie was absolutely perfect at our Nov 2021 wedding! My husband and I wanted to make sure that the vibe at our 50 person wedding was appropriate to our tastes and the general age range of our guests. Bonnie asked excellent questions and listened to our thoughts, and created the most perfect atmosphere for our whole day - from ceremony to the very end of the night. Not only that, but she is so kind and lovely, and I'm so glad we met! I want to plan another party just so we can hire Bonnie again! :

We discovered Bonnie at a friend's wedding and knew immediately she was our choice when we started to plan. Bonnie was an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process and made our wedding day complete. She was incredibly responsive and celebratory in all of our communications leading up to our wedding. Even through a wedding reschedule, Bonnie made us feel so special and taken care of.
She allowed us to pick as much of the music as we wanted and the music throughout the entire day was perfect. In addition to normal DJ services, we asked Bonnie to do a silent disco for our guests after hours. Bonnie coordinated the rentals for us & made sure the system would work with hers. It was a huge hit with our guests - All thanks to Bonnie. Could not recommend her & her team more!
