What makes us different?

It’s about you

Your wedding should sound like you. We curate our selections to fit your taste and the unique energy of the day. In addition to your specific cues, we take care to get a general feel for music that resonates with you, carefully incorporating your taste into the digital crate of music we build for each wedding.

Reading the room

Our prep process allows us to know we’re hitting the right notes while maintaining the freedom to play what’s right for the moment. If your families want to hear some music they know, we have the hits on deck. When your friends are ready to turn up, we’ve got the bangers to get the dance floor going.

Not the same old songs

Most wedding DJs take a lowest common denominator approach, with the mindset that if everyone knows a song, it is therefore a good selection. We’re here to say we can do better! We firmly believe that there is no shortage of actually great music that will keep the whole dance floor moving all night long.

Intentional and authentic

We strive for our DJ sets to be inclusive & approachable, yet joyful and spontaneous. Our philosophy is to bring experience, preparation, thoughtfulness and authentic presence to the table, then let the night evolve on its own.

Experience and professionalism

We are proactively prepared for anything the night might throw our way. We come equipped for every scenario, so you can relax knowing we’ve got it covered. We stay calm under pressure and always keep our focus on the guest experience.

A streamlined process

Planning a wedding is stressful. Our goal is to give you one less thing to worry about. We spent years honing a form that streamlines the process of gathering your music selections and proactively thinking through logistics. This single one-stop form is due two weeks before your wedding, making it easy for you to thoughtfully deliver your preferences on your time.

Humility and gratitude

Sharing joy with your loved ones on the dance floor is the best way to say everything that words can’t. We truly consider it a privilege to provide an essential service to couples on the most important night of their lives. That perspective drives everything we do, from our customer service to the energy & passion we bring to the night.

  • I cannot recommend DJ Kerem enough! He shared a super helpful "taste primer" sheet that made it easy to understand the genres he typically plays and to communicate our own preferences to him. He completely got the vibes for every part of the evening, from our ceremony itself to the last song of the reception, the vibes were immaculate and there was something for all our guests to enjoy. He made the whole process easy and worked very independently. I would trust this man with my life!

  • Kerem did our wedding in May 2023. He made the reception vibe amazing! No weird songs or microphone take overs, just hit after hit! The owner of our venue, who has been to hundreds of weddings over the years, even said Kerem was one of the best he’s seen.

  • We are a Palestinian couple from California but were looking to get married in New Orleans, and our belabored search for a dabke group in the Louisiana area was leaving us worried about finding a DJ who would be able to meaningfully navigate through music we wanted at our wedding: Fairouz, Bay Area hip hop, indie punk rock; while also coordinating with the dabke group we would eventually (and gratefully) find. And he totally blew everyone away. We had a guest count of 100 and everyone had a great time, dancing through the very end of the night. We've been married now over a year, and we have friends still recalling a flawless transition he made between traditional Arabic music and 2Short! Other friends tell us it is the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. Kerem was not only easy to work with and masterful, but so, so kind -- a quality in a vendor that I appreciated so much during a very heavy time in our lives (despite deserving of all levity). I wholeheartedly recommend Kerem for your DJ needs, especially if you have an eclectic mix of music and require someone with a feel for both traditional and modern music.

  • We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Kerem! He absolutely nailed the vibe we wanted for our wedding—nothing too overplayed, but still fun and energetic enough to keep everyone on the dance floor. His song choices were spot on, and he did such a great job reading the room and keeping the energy high all night. Kerem was also an incredible MC. He kept everything running smoothly and ensured the transitions between moments were seamless. His energy and professionalism really helped make our wedding feel like the perfect celebration. He even helped us figure out the best way to structure first dance/parent dance songs so that they happened seamlessly. If you’re looking for a DJ who truly understands how to create a fantastic atmosphere and keep the party going, Kerem is your guy. We can’t recommend him enough!

  • We couldn't have been happier with DJ Kerem and his services for our wedding in New Orleans. He provides a great tool to help understand his clients, and he took our "sample playlist" and made an incredible mix. We could have (and would have!) danced all night! We'd highly recommend DJ Kerem; he was so easy to work with and has incredible music expertise. From the ceremony to the last song of the night, the music vibes were on point for our group. Our night was truly unforgettable.

    Anna Tuttle

  • Best DJ ever!! Kerem understood the assignment. The vibes were perfect and he was such a joy to work with. He really made our wedding day so much fun. Thank you!

    Casey Bemis

  • DJ Kerem was such a delight to work with at our wedding. He was very professional and organized, providing a form to submit to better understand our music taste. This was so important to me, as I get tired of the same over played wedding music, and I wanted the dance floor to better reflect what we enjoy! I received so many compliments about his song selection, catering to both our American and Indian family and friends. Also, the added lights were a hit. I can't wait to get the photographer pictures back just to relive the dance floor!

    Rebecca Johnson

  • Kerem did a fantastic job at our wedding. We gave him a short playlist of our favorite artists and complete freedom on what to play, he had everyone on the dance floor all night! We also added an impromptu live performance and a song-specific outfit change, he was super flexible and handled it very well, highly recommend.

    Kaity Cornish

  • DJ Kerem helped ensure that both our wedding ceremony and reception went super smoothly!! For a couple that was DIYing a lot of aspects of our wedding, it brought us so much assurance to hire a professional DJ that was willing to share his experience and provide a level of structure to the actual day-of logistics through MCing / general music cues. There is no way our dance floor would have been as packed without Kerem and we highly recommend working with him for your special day.

    Nicole Nelson

  • We loved Kerem! He brought the best vibes to our intimate wedding. Absolutely nailed the brief for cocktail hour/dinner and crushed it on the dance floor! He asked thoughtful questions beforehand and ensured he had all of the important information prior to our big day! Not to mention the fact that he is just plain cool! Highly recommend him for all events, both large and small!

    Alexis Hamilton

  • Booking Dj kerem was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. One of our biggest fears for the wedding was no one dancing, and he had every single guest at our wedding on the dance floor most of the night. He listened to us in terms of the kind of music we wanted, he played songs that complemented the playlist we gave him perfectly. He was super nice, engaged, checked in with us a few times during the night and made sure the process was going the way we wanted in terms of song lengths for first dances etc. If you want a dj that actually likes music and can get ppl dancing BOOK HIM

  • Kerem dj'd my wedding this past Sunday and he truly couldn't have been better! Throughout the planning process, he asked me detailed questions about what music I liked and wanted so that he could deliver a perfect experience for us and our guests. I stressed that I wanted everyone to get involved and that we wanted it to be a party, and that's exactly what it was! A true New Orleans style party. Everything was played perfectly on cue and exactly how I wanted it, and he even MC'd as well. He also came up to my husband and I to introduce himself which I thought was super thoughtful. It is because of him that our wedding day was PERFECT. I can't recommend Kerem enough, and if I ever need a dj in the future, I know who I'm calling!

    Malorie Passman

  • Our guests continue to tell us that DJ Kerem made our reception amazing! I have a large hispanic family and I requested a mix of latin music along with fun disco/hip hop throwbacks. DJ Kerem delivered with every song and transition. Communication was clear, professional, and prompt during the entire process! I'm so happy we booked him for our wedding, I couldn't recommend him more!
