Alex did a phenomenal job dj’ing our wedding- he has high energy, eagerness to ensure that your vision comes to life, and strong organization that puts the natural stress of the day at ease. We would recommend him to anyone we know looking for a DJ! This was our second event that Alex was our DJ for and he killed it both times- on communication and responsiveness, energy, and skill!

I could not recommend a company more for your special events. Alex not only was a phenomenal DJ, but he served as our officiant as well. As an officiant, he took the time to get to know my fiancé and I to make our ceremony personal and memorable. Multiple guests thought we had a personal relationship with how well he spoke to our relationship during the ceremony. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail and magic Alex brought to the biggest day of our lives. We will forever be grateful to 3rd Shift DJs for making our night a dream!

My daughter hired 3rd Shift Djs for her wedding 5/16/25. Not only did Alex act as Dj he also was the officiant, provided sound and lighting and even had a 2 person instrumental perform for guests as well as play special selections for the bridal party and bride as they were escorted down the aisle. From the first phone call to the last dance Alex was amazing. So many people complimented us and inquired about his service further proving what a great choice we made. I highly recommend them for any celebration!

Alex was an amazing dj at our wedding. Very helpful with picking music. Really took control and worked great with the venue to make sure that everything went smoothly. The guests loved him, and everyone had a great time. He also let my daughter get behind the turntable and scratch... thank you so much, 3rd shift Djs!!

I’m glad that everyone loved the Photo Booth and that your little girl got to have some fun getting behind the decks as well. You guys are the best!
