"Joe Russell was great and played everything we asked for. The music was perfect and everyone had a great time!"

Chelsey, Canton OH

"We are so happy that we used Joe Russell for our wedding reception! He has an awesome personality. The night went so smoothly and everything transitioned really well. I was surprised how many people were on the dance floor! We also used the video taping service and we love our footage from the weddinng and reception. Our guests tell us all the time still how much they liked our DJ!! Thanks so much!

Emily and Chris"

Emily Jones, Painesville OH

"Joe was everything we could have hoped for for our wedding reception. Before, during, and after. His uplighting saved us a ton of money on regular bland decorations that would have to be put up and taken down after it all. Thank you for making ours a night to remember. Even our guests mentioned how great everything was."

Kristopher Scott Ward, Magnolia OH
