AMAZING!

Our experience with 617 Weddings was amazing from the start. When inquiring about a wedding DJ they were very quick to respond and answer all of our questions. We were paired up with DJ Joe Bermudez and it truly could not have been more perfect!!! I’m a terrible DJ and was quite anxious when hearing I had to come up with a playlist for our wedding, but Joe took that worry away and made it an incredibly easy experience. Our dance floor was full from the first song til the very last song which is exactly the vibe we wanted for our wedding!!! He even talked us through the play by play of how it would all go from walking out to first dances, cake cutting… a NYE countdown and all!!! Making us less anxious and the night more enjoyable. I would highly recommend 617 weddings and especially DJ Joe… Simply the best!

... the epitome of talent!

Jimmie Espo is the epitome of talent, professionalism, fun, and cool. I may be biased, but my April 29th wedding at the Renaissance may have been the most fun I've had at a wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire night. He took note of all my random song requests, and seamlessly worked them in throughout the entire night. One guest described the wedding as "epic", another told me she felt "rejuvenated" after dancing the night away. Great personality, great musical timing, overall just a master of his craft. I'd like to hire him to DJ my life.

Most memorable day!

There aren’t enough great words to express how I feel about 617 Weddings! Jimmie Espo was highly recommended by our venue, The Cliff House Maine, so we immediately contacted him online hoping he was available for our May 2020 wedding and he was. Within a day, Jimmie contacted us by phone to discuss our wedding ceremony plans and we ended up talking for an hour. We hit it off like we had known each other for ever. He was such an amazing personality, friendly and put you at ease. He contacted us a few times as the planning moved forward and met in person and that day was the beginning of what is now an incredible friendship. Then Covid hit, our wedding in Maine needed to be canceled only 2 weeks before our date, which was devastating to us, we postponed until August 2020, but we really wanted our original May date for sentimental reasons. We decided to do a small backyard wedding for just family a few friends, then Jimmie calls us and offers to be our DJ and live-stream our wedding on Facebook so everyone could see us get married. We live 2 hours away from 617 Weddings + Events, but they backed up their equipment and drove to our house without hesitation so all our family and friends could see our special day!! It was truly a heartfelt gesture, that is something you can thank someone enough for. We did go through with our postpone wedding on August 16, 2020 at the Cliff House Maine and of course 617 Wedding + Events stood by us with all the date changes and Jimmie Espo was our amazing DJ again for this incredible wedding. His infectious smile and great personality lights up a room and makes everyone want to have a great time. Like I said, there are not enough words to express my thanks and appreciation to Jimmie Espo & 617 Wedding + Events for making our weddings the most memorable days of our lives. And above all, we’ve gained an amazing friend for life!!!

We had DJ Jimmie Espo for DJ and lighting services for our wedding in Boston. Jimmie and team went above and beyond the entire process. This was more than just a DJ service. Jimmie was a true asset throughout the day, offering to help with whatever we needed, communicating with all other vendors and family members. He frequently checked in with us before the ceremony, through cocktail hour and dinner. If we needed a coffee, he made it happen. If something wasn’t perfect with our set up, he was on it. Then, we got to dancing, Jimmie KILLED IT! We told him we wanted a real party, everyone up, excited and dancing, and he delivered. He gave us the idea to start off with a dance set right after the first dance before dinner and it really set the tone. We gave Jimmie our overall style and taste with some songs that we like, and then let him just do his thing to keep people dancing all night. The dance floor was packed the entire reception, and all the guests were raving about how good the music was. He mixed songs on the fly perfectly, adjusted quickly to the crowd, and played a wide variety of songs that fit ours and our guests tastes. You will not regret having DJ Jimmie Espo and 617 weddings as your wedding music and lighting vendor.

617 Weddings & Jimmie Espo were seriously amazing to work with. They were so organized and had an online portal for wedding timeline, song requests and planning. On the day of, DJ Jimmie absolutely made the party. It was seriously a party before the salads came out, I've never seen anything like it - he played Sweet Caroline and people were dancing at their chairs it was amazing. He played every request we had and played a good mixture so that all guests at all age ranges were dancing and having a great time. Guests were on the dance floor the entire night, which is exactly what we wanted… it was incredible! People to this day have reached out to me saying it was the best wedding ever and how much they loved our DJ and the music. I could not be happier in choosing 617 for our big day. I would recommend to any bride/ groom or anyone looking to have an awesome party. I really hope to work with them again one day! THANK YOU SO MUCH JIMMIE!!! WE LOVE YOU!

We used 617 weddings for our wedding DJ and Uplighting. Our DJ was Jimmie Espo and he was incredible. We went to a wedding that he DJed a couple years before ours and knew we had to book him once we got engaged. He’s very easy to communicate with. He really knew how to read the crowd at our wedding. People were dancing all night long, well before dinner was even served! He knows how to help put on a good party.

We hired Jimmie from 617 weddings to DJ our wedding. From the first phone call we knew he would make our wedding everything we envisioned it would be. He was quick to respond to every email and text, no matter how big or small the questions or concern was. At our meeting before the wedding he really helped us with our wedding reception timeline and put us at a lot of ease of how everything would flow. He provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, all three were different spots of our venue. The reception was amazing! He had everyone dancing the entire night! From our younger guests to our older guests everyone was always on the dance floor. I had multiple people comment to me during the wedding how great the music was, and that it was the danciest wedding ever. 617 weddings use a simple portal to help add songs to playlists, must plays, and timelines of when songs should be played when. They also offered a photo booth with attendant and uplighting which we used. We would definitely recommend 617 weddings!

We are SO thankful we chose Jimmie Espo for our wedding at the Bedford Village Inn. I'm not from MA, but Jimmie & 617 weddings was highly recommended by everyone I spoke to, so I gave them a call. From our first conversation I could tell Jimmie was experienced and could handle all the aspects of the day perfectly. He answered my many texts and calls and we even met him at the 617 Weddings office to review details before the wedding day. The ceremony and reception was amazing and Jimmie handled all the details for that as well. Everyone was singing during dinner and crowded the dance floor before the dance floor was officially open (exactly what we wanted!!). Nobody wanted to stop dancing and everyone keeps talking about how much fun they had. Thank you so much!!

Natalie

We were introduced to 617 Weddings and our DJ, Chuck, through our venue, the Willowdale Estate. From the start everyone we spoke with was responsive, super personal and got us both excited and relaxed about our big day. We knew that we were in great hands and that this was one area we didn't have to worry about. Chuck got the tone of each stage of our event perfect. We began with a mellow holiday feeling and the music built throughout the course of the evening into the dancing portion where everyone got on the floor and danced the night way. Thank you for making this the night of our lives, Chuck!

Jessica

If we could give DJ Chuck Uglietta a million stars, we would! First of all, if you are getting married, you don't just want this guy to DJ your wedding, you NEED him! There are not enough words to describe how amazing Chuck is at his job. From the first time we contacted him until the last song he played at our wedding, he was always so friendly, professional, funny, upbeat, helpful, and the list goes on! Because of how amazing and talented he his, Chuck is in very high demand! BUT he ALWAYS responded to every text and email I sent him right away to answer any questions I had! Throughout our entire wedding and in the days following everyone kept telling us that our wedding was the best and most fun they had ever been to! And it was all because Chuck made the night! He was so outgoing and nice and friendly to EVERYONE and made everyone there feel like VIPs. One of the most special moments for us was the last slow song we danced to. And it was to a song Chuck had suggested to us in our meeting with him that neither myself or my husband had ever heard before. But Chuck is SO good at understanding couples and their personalities that it fit us SO WELL! It was the most perfect moment. This is a man that you want around if you want a good time!

Alyson

617 Weddings and DJ Chuck were absolutely amazing! I had many guests from our wedding come up to me during the reception and in the days following to tell me how great our entertainment was. DJ Chuck was super helpful with music suggestions for little things I hadn't thought of, and made sure to have any unique songs we wanted. He even played them to us at our final meeting to be sure they were the exact songs we were looking for. I truly can't say enough about this company and especially DJ Chuck for all the wonderful service they provided, our wedding would not have been the night it was without them!

We had our daughters wedding on 1/14/24 and hired 617 weddings for the second time! Julio our DJ was the absolute best!! in my opinion you dont get any better than him. His energy was contagious and we knew that we had to hire him for our second daughters wedding. He knows how to get the crowd on the dance floor. Even my 84 year old father was out there dancing all night. Thank you 617 weddings and Julio!! for the amazing uplighting and sparklers too! you will be our #1 choice for any event we have. Best Regards, Rita and Jack Durgin.

Demi

We had Julio for our wedding 10/20/23 and from the moment we first chatted with him we just knew he was the DJ for us! He goes above and beyond for his brides and grooms, coming early to watch our ceremony and meet our guests so he could add personal touches later in the reception. He noticed a certain Taylor swift song was quoted during our ceremony and he played it later during dinner. Our guests were dancing all night long and he was great at reading the crowd and taking requests. He would wait to make sure me and my husband were in the room to play songs we asked for and if he saw that we got held up on our way to the dance floor, he kept that song going a little longer until we could get there. His energy was unmatched and he made our night so special. 10/10 you should hire Julio!

617 Weddings was great and easy to work with! Their online portal made planning very easy. We worked with DJ Julio specifically who set up planning calls ahead of time and was very professional day of. He brought lighting with him to make our venue even more special. We had picked 617 Weddings because I had attended another wedding where they were the DJ, both had people on the dance floor all night! Thank you Julio and team!

Matthew K.

DJ Julio Sanabia from 617 Weddings was an absolute 10/10 - could not give a higher recommendation! Everything from the initial planning to the actual wedding was easy, professional, and detailed. When it is the biggest day of your life you want someone that has been there a million times before and he absolutely has. We gave him guidance on what we wanted to be played/not played and he took that and ran with it. Got the crowd pumped up and on the dance floor the entire night. Knows how to go off-the-cuff when needed. Again, couldn't recommend a DJ any more than Julio and 617 Weddings.

DJ Julio from 617 Weddings was the absolute best!!!! He made our wedding at The Commons 1854 in Topsfield a dream come true. Our guests have been raving about how much fun he was and what an amazing variety of songs were played to appeal to all generations. DJ Julio felt like my personal hype man all night and got everyone smiling and dancing the night away! Our photographer, John LoConte was also with 617 Weddings and was so thorough, patient, and kind. His experience at The Commons 1854 was beyond helpful- I know we have so many amazing shots and I cannot wait to see all of the finished photos! Also major kudos for his expertise in making sure my wedding train and veil were placed perfectly for our photos!! Everyone we spoke with from 617 Weddings was fantastic and so helpful.

Thank you for being everything I thought you would be per the reviews. I will forever refer friends and family to 617 weddings.

We worked with 617 Weddings for our DJ, Photography, Videography and Uplighting. Everything was absolutely perfect! Julio Sanabia was our DJ and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. He had our guests up dancing the entire night, and all we keep hearing about is how awesome of a time everyone had. If we could repeat the entire wedding process and day over again, we would definitely still go with 617 Weddings ! Not a doubt in my mind!

Nicole

DJ Julio Sanabia was absolutely amazing!! Our guests were on the dance floor before dinner was even served. He was very professional during our planning sessions and really got to know my husband and I and what type of music we wanted him to play. We wanted our first dance to be a mix between 3 songs and he sent us several versions that he worked on so it was just right for our big day! He really went the extra mile. He also brought a screen to show pictures that had been taken at the church as well as through the rest of the night. This was a very nice added touch! We highly recommend DJ Julio of 617 Weddings!

Elizabeth

Our guests, as well as ourselves had an incredible time, thanks so much in part to DJ Julio Sanabia and 617 Weddings. I did not feel like I had to worry about a thing. The energy that the DJ brought was perfect for our wedding atmosphere. He listened to all of our thoughts about how the night would go, and when it came time for our wedding day I knew we were in good hands. Many of our guests complimented us on our vendor choice and were impressed by how the night unfolded. I highly recommend DJ Julio!

We worked with Paul Vincent for our wedding at 1620 Winery and he was absolutely incredible! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He had the whole night running so smoothly from our introduction and first dance to speeches and parent dances. The dance floor was packed until the very end!! We are so grateful for everything he did to make our night personal and FUN. It was perfect from beginning to end.

To say that DJ Paul was amazing is an understatement. He was on top of everything, did a great job the entire day and even helped put the officiant at ease. I want to get married again just so that DJ Paul plays the wedding one more time.

Julie T.

617 Weddings came recommended by our venue, and after meeting with Paul we knew we had found our DJ! Paul came with a lot of experience and had even done a number of weddings at our venue. Throughout the planning process, Paul and the team at 617 weddings were organized and helped us plan out all the details around introductions, special dances, speeches- everything! From our conversations with Paul about the type of music we wanted to play at our wedding, we knew we were on the same page and on the day of he delivered! From the minute the dance floor opened, it was packed for 3 fun hours of dancing! Our family and friends continue to tell us how awesome Paul was as a DJ and they had so much fun dancing all night (many were sore the next day from all the dancing!). We can't thank Paul enough for giving us an epic night of dancing to close out our perfect day!

617 Weddings is Amazing!! 617 Weddings is the company that you need to book now!! Just a few days before our wedding our planned DJ got sick and was unable to attend. Without hesitation 617 weddings had a DJ by the name of DJ Paul Vincent on standby and let me tell you, this guy was absolutely amazing!! We were so worried about what was going to happen once our main DJ went down but you honestly have nothing to worry about working with 617! They have a great website and communication platform that helps you regardless of what DJ you have performing at your wedding. But don't think for a second that DJ Paul Vincent didn't bring the best energy I have ever seen at a wedding. His energy, personality and preparedness really did make a huge difference at the wedding. Our guests over at the Villa at Ridder Country Club were out on the dance floor dancing all night long and everyone loved his song selections. I would highly recommend DJ Paul Vincent and 617 Weddings to anyone who is looking for a great company that guarantees you a great time at your wedding!

Could not have been better! 617 and DJ Paul Vincent were amazing for our wedding in July at Peirce Farm at Witch Hill!! He kept everyone on the dance floor from the time it opened until our reception ended and we got so many compliments on how amazing Paul was. He also did the music for our ceremony and it was perfect. Not only is Paul a great DJ, but his demeanor is perfect- very professional and chill at the same time- he had the best vibe for the ceremony and helped us relax and enjoy it and then turned up the energy for the party during the reception. There was also great communication during the planning phase which helped ease wedding planning stress. I would absolutely recommend him and 617 to anyone.

We hired 617 Weddings and were assigned Paul as our DJ for our wedding at The Villa. We could not be happier with our experience with him and the company. Paul met with us multiple times before the wedding and there was an easy to use online portal system to request music. We got so many compliments about the music throughout the event - including how good the dinner music was! Our friends even got Paul's information so he could work their wedding. We highly recommend DJ Paul Vincent and 617!

We had our wedding at the Beauport Hotel on 4/29/22 and DJ Paul Vincent exceeded our expectations. He always responded promptly throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Paul was a calming presence. He went over the flow of the day with our families and wedding party and we knew everything would go smoothly because of his thoroughness. The ceremony and entrances went seamlessly. He also knows how to throw a party! The sparklers were such a hit. The dance floor was packed and he played all of our requests. He played to every age group and transitioned the songs so well. He spoke on the microphone at the appropriate moments. We are so beyond pleased with DJ Paul Vincent and 617 Weddings. Look no further!

I hired DJ Paul Vincent for my wedding back in July of 2019. DJ Paul was simply a beast in terms of professionalism, punctuality, and most of all ..... he brought the house down! Everyone had so much fun and he was on cue from the beginning to the end. His transitions from song to song were on point! His playlist was great the whole night and everyone was complimenting on how awesome he was during and after the wedding. He DJs venues and clubs in Boston as well so he’s extremely experienced and talented. If you have a chance to book him, you should absolutely do it early before someone picks him up for their event. Not all DJs are made the same and you only have one night to make a great party happen. Hire this DJ if you get the chance!

I have hired Paul for two separate events. One for a high end work function and for our wedding. He was so easy to work with and came fully prepared. He quite literally brought the party! He had great energy through both events and really got the crowds pumped up! After both events everyone kept asking who the DJ was, I feel like that is the ultimate compliment! We didn't have to do anything to prepare, we just told him the vibe we were going for and he nailed it! I highly recommend DJ Paul!

Look no further! I cannot say enough about DJ Stamz. He far exceeded our expectations. Our guests ranged from 7 years old to 85 years old and he had everyone on the dance floor! He incorporated Haitian Kompa in flawlessly and kept everyone moving all night. Stamz had the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem lit all night. 617 Weddings and Stamz were super responsive and hit every mark. Stamz and Jimmie were there well before they were due to set up, and were so friendly with everyone they came in contact with. They went far beyond what they were hired for!! I am already planning my next party just to have Stamz spin again!! Thank you so much! Our wedding reception was perfect, and let’s be honest… a reception is all about the music.

DJ Stamz is one of the best DJs out there! He dj'd our wedding in September 2022. From start to finish, he made us feel special. In the months prior to the wedding, he met with us whenever we asked, and he really took the time to get to know our relationship and understand the music we wanted played. He was a big part of the reason our wedding was such an amazing day! He kept the party going and kept everyone on the dance floor. We even had guests from another wedding at the venue try to sneak into our room because "the music was way better!" I cannot recommend DJ Stamz enough! Thank you for being a fun, special part of our day!

Holy sh*t! We cannot express how happy we were with the entire experience working with DJ Aziz Idhamou & 617 Weddings. We had our wedding at Longwood's stunning venue, The Tower in downtown Boston, and having DJ Aziz was icing on the cake. From the first meeting to the last dance, his professionalism, expertise, guidance and attention to detail was beyond perfect. The music selection was spot-on - he blended different genres, built up an energetic atmosphere and kept the dance floor alive the entire night. The 617 DJ Booths are a work of art. The setup, lighting, screen etc. are extremely elegant. The 617 team created custom art from our engagement photos that were projected onto a large screen attached to the DJ booth, which set the perfect backdrop to the dance floor. We brought a DIY photo booth for our guests, and DJ Aziz even pulled the photos from the photo booth's web gallery throughout the night and created a beautiful (and hilarious) slide show that we watched from the dance floor! Beyond the music and dancing, DJ Aziz is a true MC. He spent time getting to know us and our vision, to make it a reality. We had a hard time picking out our intro music, but he found an up-tempo remix to a song we loved, used the energy to work the crowd, and created an unforgettable introduction for us. Throughout the night, despite all of our planning, we hit a few small snags, got a little behind schedule, and had to change the order of a few parts of the reception. But Aziz was on top of everything! He adapted flawlessly, and ensured the party kept flowing smoothly without missing a beat. But most of all, he was an absolute pleasure to work with - it felt like a family member was running the show. If we could change one thing, we wouldn't

DJ Aziz from 617 Weddings was fantastic! We had our wedding at Charter Oak Country Club and Aziz was extremely professional and first class. Throughout the whole planning process, he was readily available to help and extremely easy to communicate with about what our vision was. At the wedding, there were so many little details that really made the event special for us and our guests! The music was perfect and had the dance floor filled the whole night!

DJ Aziz from 617 Weddings DJ'ed our June wedding at the Lenox Hotel. Aziz was super responsive leading up to the event and would proactively reach out to check if we needed anything, which we really appreciated. 617 has a portal where you fill out your forms and add in your music lists, but Aziz also recommends sharing links to spotify playlists with him so he knows the exact version of the song you want - highly recommend this! The day of the wedding, Aziz and his team was early to the venue and super easy with their set up. He was a great vendor the day of in that we didn't have to worry about him at all! He came in and did his thing and was a true professional. He kept the dance floor rocking all night long!

My fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Aziz from 617 Weddings as our wedding DJ. From the minute we began working with him, he was extremely professional, responsive and helpful. Then, COVID hit and we made the difficult decision to postpone. Aziz was EXTREMELY flexible and understanding. Once we let him know our new date (and new venue) he remained flexible and attentive to what we wanted. He continued to be so easy to work with and spent time with us on the phone before our wedding day, helping us with the flow of the evening and various songs for each part of the night (Also for the two different cultures that united — Arabic & Italian). Once the night began, he was awesome start to finish. The dance floor was packed all night and he really knew how to work the room. It's impossible to keep track of how many guests said our wedding was a blast, in large part to the great work done by Aziz! Thank you Aziz for being a part of our special day and for making it so memorable! We highly recommend Aziz!

Our experience with 617 Weddings was amazing from the start. When inquiring about a wedding DJ they were very quick to respond and answer all of our questions. We were paired up with DJ Joe Bermudez and it truly could not have been more perfect!!! I’m a terrible DJ and was quite anxious when hearing I had to come up with a playlist for our wedding, but Joe took that worry away and made it an incredibly easy experience. Our dance floor was full from the first song til the very last song which is exactly the vibe we wanted for our wedding!!! He even talked us through the play by play of how it would all go from walking out to first dances, cake cutting… a NYE countdown and all!!! Making us less anxious and the night more enjoyable. I would highly recommend 617 weddings and especially DJ Joe… Simply the best!

We had a fantastic experience with 617 Weddings for our November 2023 wedding at Hotel Commonwealth, with the talented Joe Bermudez as our DJ! 617 was on the preferred vendors list for the venue, and as soon as I spoke to them on the phone I was ready to hire them. They made the process so simple—they just asked me a few questions about the wedding and the vibe I wanted, then sent me pricing and matched me up with Joe! Joe was super laid back and professional when I had a call with him and immediately made me feel comfortable. He was open to whatever we wanted and was excited to help us bring our vision to life. 617 provided a comprehensive online form for us to fill out with all the details of our ceremony and reception, and we were also able to request songs and give Joe a sense of our taste in music, which made coordinating everything very easy. On the day of, Joe was incredibly kind and easy to work with, even when we made last minute changes to the introductions. He also went above and beyond to help my aunt and uncle plan a surprise dance for me and did not breathe a word of it to me before the wedding—so impressive! The dance floor was popping all night long and I got several compliments on the music, with one guest even telling me I had the best music of any wedding they’d been to :) Joe stayed true to our unique taste while still adding in some crowd pleasers that kept people engaged and dancing. I added an uplighting package as well which was incorporated seamlessly and really helped set the mood throughout the reception. So thankful to 617 Weddings and Joe Bermudez for helping make my wedding day exactly what I wanted it to be! Highly recommend them!

617 Weddings and DJ Joe Bermudez were an integral part of our day! We had a unique ceremony area where we still needed music played and Joe was able to accommodate it & everything went so smoothly. He was professional, helpful, kind & knowledgeable. People are still talking about the music! Would highly recommend 617 Weddings for your DJ - do not hesitate to book!

I highly recommend 617 Weddings, especially DJ Joe Bermudez! We were matched up with him after an initial consultation call with 617 Weddings. They nailed it matching us with Joe, and Joe went above and beyond to make our wedding a fun time for our guests of all ages. One of the comments we received from a guest was that they had never seen people hit the dance floor so quickly at a wedding before! People didn’t want to leave even after the reception ended. Joe totally understood our vibe from the get-go and kept the wedding planning stress at bay leading up to and on the day of our wedding. The groom was nervous before the ceremony, and Joe spent time to simply chat with him to distract him and ease his nerves. Before our wedding, Joe checked in with us often and kindly pointed out suggestions that could make the events flow better based on his past experience. He had already done a few weddings at our venue, Bedford Village Inn, so he was already familiar with the layout of the property and the staff. We gave him ideas of the types of music we enjoy, and he ran with it and took care of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music flawlessly. He was also great with making announcements and hyping up the crowd. He even remastered and seamlessly looped a song for our procession to ensure that it was long enough for the wedding party to walk down the aisle. He genuinely wanted to make sure every detail was perfect for us. I can’t say enough positive things about Joe and 617 Weddings!

Professional and kept the whole wedding dancing! We were fortunate to hire DJ Joe Bermudez with 617 Weddings for our wedding at the Lenox Hotel! Joe connected with us quickly and understood exactly what we were going for. The planning process couldn't of been made any easier and he was a true professional. We couldn't be happier that the dance floor was full the entire wedding and ended with everyone chanting "One more song!

617 weddings made the entire DJ process so easy. They are who I would choose again and again. We had our wedding at Spinelli’s and it was better than I could have imagined. We told DJ Joe Bermudez that we didn’t want people to leave the dance floor and the second our slow songs were over the floor was packed! Professional, organized, and so in tune with what we wanted as a couple for our day, DJ Joe Bermudez and 617 weddings won’t disappoint. People are still talking about the dancing almost a week later!!

Bobak exceeded my expectations providing music for my wedding. Finding the right DJ was extremely important to me and I was very unsure of how to go about it. The app made it easy to choose songs for important moments and other songs that I wanted to be played throughout the night. After meeting with Bobak to go over the details and him being so open and flexible to everything I wanted, down to a special mix for our entrance, I knew it was going to be a lot of fun! I had everyone dancing all night and that is exactly what I wanted. Even my 92 year old grandmother kept wanting to get on the dance floor and said, “The music, it just made me ready to dance!” Needless to say everyone had a blast! Bobak, thank you so much for helping make my wedding day so amazing!

DJ Kyd 617 Weddings

DJ Kyd Sanchez

Bilingual Wedding DJ

A local radio dj was playing a “Scratch sound” on the evening radio mix show which I never heard. I fell in love with it immediately, found out it was on Turntables. And I began “scratching” my mom’s LPs at the age of 8, breaking her needles.

On my 9th Birthday, I received two Turntables and a mixer. I was obsessed with DJing; it became my passion which I practiced every night after school. 

At 14, I was helping local DJs and DJing parties and schools. After a Club wanted me back but didn’t know my name, the promoter said bring that kid back, so the name Kyd was born. 

Just shy of my 17th birthday, I began to DJ at Chicago’s teen nightclubs and became a resident DJ. Throughout the years I was a guest DJ at various nightclubs in Chicago and was selected for the world known Pride Parade.

We will always remember September 11, 2001, and I was no different, I enlisted in the Army. During Active Duty I continued to keep up to date on the entertainment industry, even DJing when I could. I was able to expand my knowledge of music from all around the world. 

My style and selection are unique, I mix House with Merengue, Bachata or even Banda.  I can go from Rock to Bachata to Cumbia, it starts the moment I put on the headphones and go to work, letting my creativity come alive. By reading the guests, I know if its ok to do Live mashups and remixes. I try to keep everyone on the dance floor and having a good time. Because what’s a party without dancing!

I always knew I wanted a DJ because of the variety of music I could play at my wedding. I'm Peruvian and my husband is American and I wanted a mix of spanish and top fun dancing american songs to dance to. Herman and his company was the best decision I made for my wedding music selection! Not only was Herman super responsive from start to finish but we was punctual and all equipment was ready and installed. DJ KYD offers an online portal which was very helpful and easy to use. It helped me stay organized and I could include right there an then in the portal what songs I wanted, when I wanted them played, what duration or parts of the song I wanted to play etc. I even asked Herman to find a Russian song to play the day of my wedding and he was able to make this work! (my mom was very happy). The packages DJ KYD provided were also very flexible. From different payment options to different things provided, it was very helpful. We went with a package which included uplighting and disco type lights and our initials that were reflected on the dance floor! It was all such a dream. Herman also played all the songs we wanted! He mixed all the songs to make them flow together which is what I wanted and everything was so seamless and perfect. EVERYONE was dancing at our wedding!! At the point that the dance floor was not even big enough! I remember seeing my guests dancing in the carpet area of the venue and everyone afterwards told my husband and I that they haven't danced like that at a wedding in a long time. Thank you Herman for such a wonderful night! The mix of music was awesome and everyone had an amazing time :) Wow I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again! I could not thank you enough and would recommend any future couples to hire DJ KYD if you want to have an amazing event where everyone is dancing all night long!! Best decision and great service. Very reliable and 5+ stars all the way. Thank you!

We hired DJ KYD for our wedding reception and the dance floor was PACKED all night. We told him we wanted mostly 90's songs to get the party going and he came fully prepared. I was impressed by the number of phone conversations we had the week of and how thorough he was throughout the whole process. I even broke my foot 3 days before my recep and he was accomodating by asking if I wanted our songs shortened and cutting out at the perfect spot. Thank you for making our reception an absolute blast!

From the moment we met with Herman we knew DJ KYD was the perfect DJ for us! We are a young couple and wanted a DJ who would keep the party going and would be able to play the latest music of all genres. Most of my husband’s family is Spanish speaking so we also wanted someone who would be able MC in both English and Spanish. DJ KYD was professional, responsive, and kept the services flowing and the party going! The planning process with DJ KYD was so easy! We used the online site to fill out the specific music we wanted, all of the wedding details, including names of parents and bridal party, etc. and the flow for the evening. After we completed the form he sent us a document with everything and went over it with us line by line to make sure he understood everything. He accommodated all of our last minute requests and changes without hesitation. The day of he worked closely with our wedding coordinator, venue, and caterer to make sure everything was running smoothly. Most important, the music was great!! Everyone had such an amazing time! I cannot recommend DJ KYD enough!
