Tanner DJd our wedding and he was the best dj we could ask for. He was so helpful and professional. He did a great job during our wedding day and made sure everything went smoothly. He was very engaging and made sure that the guest were having a good time. Would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a good Dj.

Hired Tanner to DJ my wedding on 7/7. He asked a lot of questions to make sure he had the tempo and pace right for the whole evening, and it was right on all the way to the send off at the end of the evening. 10/10 would recommend

DJ Tanner was so great! He was so organized and had great communication leading up to our wedding. He did an awesome job of announcing, playing good background music, ceremony music, and getting the crowd out on the dance floor! He played the perfect mix of upbeat music and slow music with songs all generations were able to enjoy and dance to! Would 100% recommend to anyone in need of a DJ! We're so thankful we had him at our wedding!
