Introduction
I'm an easy-going, detail-oriented, but appropriately silly person who helps you stay on track both leading up to and during the event. I got my start in the business back in 2018 working for someone else, and went all-in to work exclusively as a DJ in 2023. I'm highly versatile in music, having served events for young, old, Indian, Greek, Italian, Israeli, Spanish, themed parties, and more! Si quieres un DJ que se pueda hablar español, simplemente necesito tiempo para escribir mis anuncios antes del evento. Aprendiendo español, y me gusta trabajar en eventos latinos. 虽然我不能用中文对话,但我可以用普通话做公告。不过我需要提前排练,所以你得提前告诉我需要说什么。至于活动中的歌曲点播,我会带一个牌子,上面说明如何直接将歌曲添加到我专门为点歌创建的Spotify歌单中。

We found Tony just one month before our wedding, and I truly can’t believe how lucky we got. From the moment we connected, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. He took the time to understand our vibe, music preferences, and timeline—even with such short notice—and absolutely nailed it. Every transition was seamless, the energy was perfect from our grand entrance to last dance, and he kept our guests on the dance floor all night. He read the room so well and we got so many compliments on the music! If you’re looking for a DJ who is easy to work with, super talented, and truly cares about making your day amazing—book Tony! Can’t recommend him enough.

Booked Tony for our wedding and I have never booked any dj before so wasn’t sure what to expect. Something in my gut told me to go with djnotapanda and oh my gosh I am so glad we did! First , it is extremely difficult to find someone who truly loves what they do and you can tell that Tony is a master at his craft. From his organization to his communication all throughout the wedding itself but also leading up to the big day is true dedication. Not to mention he is extremely talented at reading the room and knowing when to play what music . I must say he helped turn our country club wedding to an actual club at times and it was absolutely amazing ! I highly recommend the DJ booth he offers because it was such a hit at our wedding and has so many other options I wasnt expecting! Also the quality of the photos are stunning ! Last but certainly not least Tony brought humor and organization to a day that was extremely stressful at times and needed a few changes throughout the night . He did it with ease and patience. That’s the kind of DJ you need! Just book him!

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • 12 years old or younger • 31 - 50 years old • 18 - 30 years old • Pop • R&B / soul • Hip-hop / Rap • Funk / disco • Oldies • Banquet hall or ballroom • MC services

Everything about DJ Not A Panda was amazing. From the day I spoke with him about first booking him and all the way to the end of my wedding day was perfect, and more than I could have hoped for. The energy was high, people were having a great time, everything went perfectly!!!! Thank you for everything. Our day was amazing and we are so happy we booked with you. This guy communicates more than you thought you need to and makes the wedding day of your dreams :)

I chose DJ Not a Panda for my wedding in November. I liked what I had read about him but when I talked to him I was so pleased with his answers to my questions, and he really put me at ease. I set up a second call with my finance and we both agreed, sight unseen or heard, that this was the DJ for us. He was very professional and easy to contact. We provided a playlist of songs that we wanted to hear, and he played them. He did intersperse some of his own, and took requests. The night was perfect. He knew how to read the crowd, and everyone was complimenting his skills. You really can't go wrong if you decide to hire him.

Best dj we have every seen. If we could give more stars we would. He was very detailed throughout the wedding making sure we hit each event on time. Even with the smaller crowd he kept everyone's energy up and the party going as long as he could. If we ever do anything else or someone asks for recommendation he will def be number 1 on our list
