A big thanks to John and his assistant for making our wedding a big success. Not only was it memorable but our entire family and friends said our DJ made the wedding eventful and a really fun time. From the ceremony music to the last dance of the night everything flowed perfectly! Thanks again for making our wedding night everything we dreamed of!!!

OMG I love Brian. He is the most entertaining and engaging DJ I have ever met. The thing that amazes me is he actually pays attention to the crowd and adjusts what he plays by our reaction. If need be, he joins right in and shows us the moves. We have used Brian twice and have been at other parties where he struts his stuff and NEVER have we been disappointed. It has become a yearly custom. People are already making plans for next year so they won't miss him. Brian, you rock!!!!

John and his assistant Noriel were phenomenal. They kept the party going all night long, and there was never much time for people to sit down because we just were having so much fun. From the music, lights, videos, our slide show and tributes...I would do it all over again with DJ by CJ. Everything was smooth! John you guys are awesome! Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!!!

We can't thank John and his team enough for the OUTSTANDING job they did at our wedding ceremony and reception. Everything went smooth and flawlessly, we wouldnt have changed a thing. We were very impressed with John and his professionalism and enthusiasm. We could see that he truly enjoys his work. We suggest taking any of his song recommendations because they rocked! John did an excellent job reading the crowd and keeping the right mood/pace. We HIGHLY recommend him and his team!

1/5/2012 2:20PM

John is a true professional. Even with an amazing wedding planner I don't think things would have gone as smoothly without John. Him and his team have done this time and time again and have it choreographed down to the minute. He even came over to ask if he should tell the caterer to speed up because they were taking too long and it would cut into our dance time. We really appreciated the attention to detail and our dance floor was packed all night. We used him for our ceremony as well and many guest commented on the wonderful music choices which HE recommended. Will definitely refer him to anyone getting married or even needing a DJ for any other event. Thanks so much John!

Brian Black… That's all we have to say. He made the one day of our lives more memorable than we could imagine. Starting from organizing special dances to switching who's putting the garter on who, every moment flowed smoothly and never skipped a beat. If we were to repeat our day or have a special occassion in the future we would whole heartly pick Brian to celebrate that moment with us.

11/6/2011 7:56PM

AMAZING!! We met John at a friend's wedding and just knew we had to have him as the DJ for our wedding! We were just so impressed with his take-charge style since we weren't going to have a wedding coordinator. When we met with him, he was open to our ideas and had a few suggestions of his own that he contributed to make our reception even better! He handled the flow of the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception. He adjusted to any changes needed during the night and took charge of everything! He was funny and professional! All of our guests commented on how awesome of a DJ he was and how much fun they had at our reception. Thank you for being the DJ at our wedding, we couldn't have done it so smoothly without you. You are truly the best in your business!

11/2/2011 9:26AM

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!! John and his other D.J. Noriel are not just D.J.'s they are there for you for everything to make the night flow perfectly. I hope we get the chance to use them again because they are so nice and such a blast. I think my wedding was party of the century and will be talked about years to come because I chose DJ by CJ. Thanks so much John you are the best there is!

10/18/2011 4:30PM

When we met with John Strandberg to discuss our wedding plans, he really listened to what we wanted and found ways to make our ideas even better. He seamlessly accommodated our guest's requests and maintained a high level of professionalism the entire time. He made our wedding experience more personal and kept our reception on the exact timeline we had discussed during the planning process . Whatever we asked for, John delivered and we couldn't have asked for more. He was the unsung hero from our wedding and a real pleasure to work with. We could not have asked for more. Thank you for everything John!

9/26/2011 7:30PM

DJ by CJ was great at our wedding! He did an excellent job in helping us pick out some non-traditional, but classy music for the ceramony. So many people commented on the ceramony music! During the reception, we had quite a few last minute changes and John just rolled with the punches. He was fun and professional, and all the guests enjoyed the music. The guests especially loved the music videos!

9/21/2011 3:05PM

Everyone told me that having a good DJ for your wedding is a must. So after some recommendations, we went with DJ by CJ and couldn't have made a better decision. He was awesome and kept the flow perfect. We even got compliments from our guests about how the DJ was awesome. Thanks John for making our day that much more special.

9/8/2011 2:08PM

Brian did an amazing job! Our families are very diverse and he was able to read the crowd. He kept every thing on time and made sure the wedding went smoothly. The music was a really important part of the night for us and Brian made sure everyone had a great time. I had no worries the whole night! absolutely fantastic!

Thank you again for your work and dedication to our event like it was your first and last.

7/30/2011 4:45PM

DJ by CJ was amazing at our wedding this last July! Everyone who attended our event was very impressed by how he was able to read the crowd and play the right song to keep the energy level up. Also, John was more than a DJ, he was a MC. He coordinated with the venue when all the events were to take place from the wedding party entrance, first dance, dinner service, cake cutting, to the last dance. We absolutely loved you at our Wedding! Thanks!

7/25/2011 9:39AM

John, thank you again for making our party THE BEST! We had a blast and you made the night!!!

7/23/2011 9:00AM

Dewey has always been awesome! He's dependable and knows how to get the party started. Very professional and organized. His sound system is the best there is. Plays the best preferred requested tunes. You'd be hard pressed to find another dj like 'Dewey'.

7/20/2011 1:00PM

John, Thank you for DJ'ing our wedding. Your experience and ideas helped make our special night the most amazing time of our lives. I am so glad we were able to book you for our wedding. It wouldn't have been the same without you.

6/16/2011 8:43PM

The Sweet 16 turned out perfect. When planning for teenagers you never know how it will turn-out to make everyone happy but, with DJ by CJ they took care of keeping everyone happy. The dance floor was packed all night. Thanks for helping to make this a night to remember and for all the special memories!

6/2/2011 10:25PM

John made our wedding day absolutely PERFECT! He helped to coordinate every aspect of our wedding from introductions to cutting the cake. All our our guests had an amazing time...the dance floor was packed the entire night. John is very talented, professional and easy to work with in all aspects of planning a wedding. We are so grateful for all of his hard work. Thank you so much for being part of our special day and for helping us to make so many special memories! You are the best!!!

John, Craig and I want to thank you so much for making our wedding amazing!!! You made everything so easy from picking the songs to the coordinating all the events!!! You blew my wedding coordinator out of the water! The music was awesome. The dance floor was so packed ALL night! Your service was awesome and I would recommend DJ by CJ to everyone! I had so many people at and after the wedding tell me that you were amazing! Thank you for making our wedding a blast! You are by far the best DJ!

4/12/2011 8:46 AM

John, Russell and I want to thank you for playing great music, providing fabulous, "one of a kind" entertainment and for having such a great personality! All my guests kept saying that they had never seen a setup like yours before, EVER! We all had a blast! You kept everyone moving! The jamaicain Love dance skit was the funniest thing ever! Thank you for everything! You are a great DJ, and through the planning you proved to be a great friend!

~Carol and Russell

2/25/2011 9:45 AM

DJ by CJ was fantastic! He was very informative and had great ideas about the reception. He knew our venue and could help run the wedding details. It was great and I can't imagine our reception with anyone else! He kept the dancing going throughout the night, even got Grandma out there dancing! We would recommend DJ by CJ to anyone in need of a DJ! Thanks again :)

12/9/2010 7:44 PM

Hands down, John is THE BEST DJ out there! I've known him for a while because I'm an event planner and therefore, have worked with many DJs. However, no one compares to John. He is super friendly, professional, extremely organized, and most importantly knows how to keep the party alive! John is committed to making sure your wedding/event is flawless. He takes the stress and worries out of your hands so that you can relax and enjoy your special day! Our guests had such a wonderful time at our wedding, thanks to John! John also coordinated the music for our beach ceremony which worked out beautifully. He's got a ton of experience and a true talent as a DJ! I highly recommend John for any special occasion you may have. He works well with all ages and trust me as an experienced event planner, there's no better DJ out there! Thank you, John, for making our wedding so very special! We cannot wait to relive it once we receive our wedding dvd!

11/30/2010 10:15 PM

John made our wedding day absolutely flawless! John was very professional and super easy to work with. Prior to our event, he got back with me via email/phone call right away. John also went above and beyond answering my father‚s daily questions/concerns prior to our big day too!! Our ceremony music was non-traditional and John catered to our style and gave us the ceremony we wanted. Our reception was a blast and our guests, to this day, still talk about how much fun they had at our wedding. John definitely kept the party going and we can't say enough good things about John and his staff! Thank you John for making our wedding celebration a night we will never forget!

11/16/2010 4:11 PM

John (DJ by CJ) is undisputibley the best DJ in the Bay Area. He and his staff are very professional. From our very first meeting with John to our wedding day he provided outstanding service. He was so good that many didn't want to leave the dance floor at the end of the night. We had many inquiries for our DJ's name and number. Thanks John for making our wedding unforgettable!

11/9/2010 9:45 PM

The service at our wedding was phenomenal. Once we met with John, and he explained to us his vision for our wedding, I knew he was the right person to perform at our wedding ceremony. John went thru every detail, from the time the guest started to arrive until the time they left. I felt like, not only did we have a DJ but a event planner as well, who was going to make sure everything was perfect.. And perfection is just what John delivered. Thanks again John for making our wedding so extraordinary.

10/15/2010 9:22 AM

Having John do our wedding was the best choice we could have made. He was entertaining and VERY professional. He took the time to meet with us before the wedding to make sure that all of our needs were met and to tell us how he operates. I attended a previous wedding that he did and it was amazing how he took control and made it fun. I have never seen a DJ like him. He made my wedding memorable. People are still taking about how nice it was. DJ by CJ will always be my first choice in my book. Thank you John for making Jonathan and I wedding (8-21-2010) so special :)

Yours Truly,
Jonathan and Jeane' Cochran

10/11/2010 1:30 PM

I feel so lucky to have found John at DJ by CJ. He really made my wedding run smoothly and made everyone have fun. I think the most important thing I noticed about John was his passion for music, he really cares about what he does. Experience is also important and John has a lot of it, and it shows. You know things are in good hands when your guests are leaving and they say, wow, the wedding was beautiful, but who was your DJ? He was awesome!! I will recommend John at DJ by CJ whenever given the opportunity. He added a special touch to my special night. Thanks again guys:) Lauren Crowe

9/14/2010 11:23 AM

DJ by CJ (John) was so great at my 50th birthday party. He got the party started and kept it going. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. Everyone had a Blast!!! Thanks for making my 50th the best ever!

8/26/2010 2:38 PM

DJ by CJ (John) did a great job at our wedding. We had no doubts there would be any problems after meeting with him prior to our wedding. He is very organized and knows what he is doing. He keeps the party running and basically coordinates the entire wedding reception with ease. Thanks DJ by CJ for a memorable wedding, we will never forget:)

7/13/2010 11:22 PM

Thank you so much for doing such an AWESOME job at our wedding! We absolutely love to dance, as do our friends, and you made everyone have a good time! You had a lot of great ideas regarding our wedding music and we are so glad that you were there to help! You came up with things we never would have thought of! You were awesome and we truly appreciate you providing the music at our wedding! It turned out perfect! We had a blast! Thanks again!

6/23/2010 8:24 PM

Everything on our wedding day turned out perfect even better than we could have imagined. John worked with me and helped me design my unique walk down the aisle. He also collaborated with the venue and photographer to make sure everything was seamless. I was especially pleased with his ability to make small changes as situations arose because of time constraints. John is very with it for a lack of better terms and it showed within every aspect of the ceremony and reception. I would recommend him and definitely use him again. Not only did my husband and I LOVE everything our guests immediately said this was one of the best weddings they had been to.

PS If you love to dance, John has the ability to get your guests out on the dance floor and dance the night away! Thanks John! = )

6/17/2010 3:31 PM

What a wonderful job you did for the Tampa General Hospital Annual Gala on Saturday. I have been getting messages and emails all day about the music and ambiance that you created to make the evening such a success. You knew exactly what to play at the right times to get the guests out on the dance floor. You created a memorable event for the Committee, the staff at Tampa General and the many guests that arrived at the Hyatt. I am certain that based on the fun we had this year, they will be back to celebrate again next year. Thank you again so very much for all that you did. You came highly recommended by others and I have enjoyed other events you have done in the Tampa community. You are very good at what you do.

John was AWESOME at our wedding (4/3/10). I was so nervous when my day was getting close and especially on the day of the wedding. I HAD NO WORRIES WITH JOHN!! Great music, great people and he did a fabulous job with directing us to make the night seamless and stress free. I want to say a big THANK YOU for finding the song for my son (Henry VIII by Herman's Hermits), it was so special for my family! I will definitely recommend DJ by CJ to all my friends and family. I never knew the importance of having a strong DJ until my actual wedding and could not have been happier with John. The way he does the announcing at the start of the reception of the bridal party was hilarious, he makes you feel like a celebrity!!!! Thanks for making a memorable ceremony, reception and night!!!

5/3/2010 2:00 PM

The service we recieved was spectacular! They were professional, accountable, organized, timely and friendly. The DJ can make or break your wedding reception and I will assure you that they will make your recepetion unforgetable.

4/10/2010 9:38 AM

Thanks for the AMAZING job at our wedding!! You kept the party going all night long and truly made our wedding a night to remember! So professional, on time, and on point for EVERYTHING! The entire wedding ran smooth, and you even went above and beyond when asked to add or change things on the spot!! We cannot thank you enough! Our wedding would not have been what it was without you! We will definitely continue to use you for any DJ event in the future! Thanks again John for making our wedding night a magical night!!!!

4/3/2010 9:26 AM

The SOCCENT Formal was both a challenging and demanding event that went off with outstanding success. John and Noriel were very professional. They showed great flexibility with their schedule from meeting up with me on a Saturday to look over the site so we could create a sound plan of action to being able to practice the day before the event. We always had a great line of communication going which made it possible to work through last minute obstacles that popped up from changes to required/requested music to the changes for floor plan setup to John utilizing his snare drum to give the ceremonial part of the SOCCENT formal a deeper meaning. DJ by CJ definitely blew the roof off the Trade Wind's Pavilion and had the party jumping with a fully packed dance floor from start to finish. The variety of music was awesome. I highly recommend DJ by CJ to anyone who wants their event to be an event to remember. John and Noriel, both the SOCCENT command and I would like to thank you both for making our SOCCENT formal an awesomely outstanding event; you are true professionals, and thank you for going above and beyond to create success.

3/2/2010 12:28 PM

We had been to about 3-4 weddings while planning our wedding. We noticed how important having a good DJ was. We could tell which DJ\'s were no good. We looked into our options for our wedding. When I talked to John, I knew right then, he was the guy we were going with. A complete and total professional. We couldn\'t have asked for a better person with helping/planning the entertainment part of the wedding! Hands down, DJ by CJ, was the best option for our wedding. I am glad that we picked John for our wedding. Friends of ours that came to our wedding whose weddings we had attended said to us that our DJ was awesome and how they wished that had used him. Thanks so much!

1/22/2010 7:42 PM

DJ by CJ was awesome. They made my wedding so stress free they worked with all the other vendors and we didn’t\'t worry about a thing. We both got so many compliments about how great the music was and how entertaining our DJ was. He has great ideas and is willing to work with you on whatever you want for your wedding music and he even has music videos to go with. My little sister is getting married in March of 2011 and he will definitely be her DJ. Thank you so much John you made our wedding perfect you ROCK!!!!!!!

1/09/2010 11:47 AM

Thanks so much for DJing my wedding! Everyone raved about how awesome you guys were. You were so much fun and had the guests dancing all night long. I had a couple of guests who were recently married tell me they wished they had you guys as their DJs because you were so much better than theirs. I would also like to say that the ‘Jamaican Love Dance’ is a must do to your other brides because it was too funny! Thanks again for everything!!!

12/28/2009 1:27 PM

At the beginning of our planning, we were overwhelmed and asking opinions of everyone we knew when it came to vendors. One night we ran into someone that suggested using DJ by CJ and that we wouldn't have to worry about a thing! I called him the next day, and I can honestly say that it was stress free after that minute. He walked me through everything I needed and made sure I had everything to make the night wonderful! When we had our final meeting, he was extremely professional, but also tried to make sure that the wedding night would be personal and fun for Kenny and I. The wedding night came, and I knew the music would be great, but I had no idea how perfect it would be! Our friends loved it, and some even asked for the all the songs that he was playing. The best part was, he had everyone dancing - from 2 year olds to my grandparents. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend DJ by CJ for anyone planning a wedding or any other event!! Thank you DJ by CJ! It was a great night that we will never forget!!

12/08/2009 11:02 AM

When we began the wedding planning process, we knew that choosing a DJ would be one of the more important decisions we would make. Fortunately, I had recently attended 2 weddings that John had worked. They were both so much fun that I knew he would be a good fit for us! We wanted our reception entertainment to be uniquely ours, and John made that happen. When we met for our pre-wedding consult, John was very receptive to our desires and energetically added many ideas of his own. Together, we came up with our ideal plan for the night, and I left confident that it would be perfect. It turns out I was right! On our wedding night, he played a fusion of salsa, country line dancing, slow dances, and all the fun, party music we wanted to hear and MORE! John is so easy-going yet professional and a natural on the microphone - he and his partner kept the dance floor packed all night. They were also flexible... We had initially planned to show a picture slide show that my dad had prepared after dinner before the dancing, but when John noticed how long it was on the night of, he approached Eric and I about possibly starting it DURING dinner. We eagerly agreed, as we didn't want to miss out on too much dancing time. It worked well, and we were thankful that John even thought to make that last minute change in our best interest. Thank you, DJbyCJ... You made it easy for everyone to have an awesome time on our special night!

We were referred to John by our photographer who had taken pictures for weddings where he was djing. When we called John, he sounded professional and really knew what he was talking about. Even when we met with John he made us feel very comfortable and we clicked right away. We knew that we had made the right choose and were extremely excited to see how he did at the wedding/reception. Well, DJ by CJ most definitely didn't let us down. John and his sidekick were absolutely awesome. They kept the party going and played the perfect music to fit our style. Thank you for making our reception an awesome one. I will continue to refer you to others.

We are so thankful for DJ by CJ! They did a professional job and kept everything rolling, from the toast and cake cutting to the boquet and garter toss. John checked in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was rolling like it should be. The ceremony was almost cancelled on the beach, but at the last minute it quit raining. John already had his equipment set up and music playing when the guests walked out on the beach! Both DJ's had great, enthusiastic personalities and made our wedding reception an unforgettable one. Thank you DJ by CJ for doing such a professional job!
