DJ Jordan Salyer

Seriously fantastic. I wouldn't change a thing! After talking to them on the phone, we decided to book a string trio to play our ceremony and cocktail hour, then a traditional DJ to play during the reception. Jordan met up with us at the event location and sat down to get a feel for the mood we wanted to set during our big day. He was very detail oriented, making sure to take note of the specific songs we wanted, or didn't want, and assuring us that he would play other songs in that genre that were family appropriate as well. He also was able to gently steer us away from some of our requests, for good reason, but was able to do it without offending us in any way and we are grateful for the help! Overall, these guys were perfect and great for the price! Give them a call right away!
