”DJ Sam was a great MC and made our wedding party entrances so fun, helped managed the start of all the speeches...a total natural on the mic! And most importantly for us - our reception dance was a BLAST!!! It was packed the whole time and everyone had so much fun. DJ Sam knows how to read the crowd - we gave him a sense of the vibe we were going for and that was all he needed. Absolutely crushed it!” -Grace M, Jan 2025
