Hired on Thumbtack

DJ Professor (Tom) supported my wife’s retirement party this past Saturday. He is the real deal. Great communicator, on time, excellent equipment, tremendous knowledge of music and reading crowds. He’s reasonably priced and made the party fun. We’ll not only hire him again in the future but I’m pretty sure some of our neighbors will also. You can’t go wrong with Tom.

Details: Party • 50 - 99 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Pop • Rock • R&B / soul • Home

Tom always brings the FUN to our Walk MS events. Great music choices, dancing and a bubble machine add to the festive atmosphere he creates. Always look forward to seeing DJ Professor Tom every year.

I had a vision as to what I was looking for in a dj for my moms 76th birthday surprise party and had initially reached out to 4 or 5 individuals. I didn’t want a dj that strictly played music, I wanted someone that would interact with the guests. After a few email exchanges and telephone conversations, Tom came across as the type of dj I was looking for. He showed up to the venue on time and as soon as the party started, he was ready to play music. A half hour into the party my mom showed up and he facilitated the whole surprise as she walked in the door. Throughout the party he was completely engaged with the guests, he made it to the dance floor a few times and followed every request I had. He went above and beyond my expectations and all of the feedback I received from those that attended was all positive. His pricing is incredibly reasonable and I would highly recommend him for any type of event you may need a dj for.

Sheila What a party! Glad I could be a part.

Our DJ was excellent. He played music from a few different genres and the job he did was appreciated by all. He had everyone dancing by the end of the evening and the party ramped up thanks to his playlist selections. He was enthusiastic and started the dancing by getting onto the dance floor himself.

Thanks Thomas. Your 50th HS Reunion was right down my alley!

Tom the DJ Professor couldn't have been better! With so many details of the function, it was sooo nice not to have to worry about a thing with him. He shines and couldn't have been better. If I ever need another DJ, I will only call Tom. Thank you sir - fantastic job and we are demanding! Michael and Deanna

DJ Professor's reply

Thanks Michael. Nice to do the El Toro High Class Reunion!
