Alex was great. Professional. Everything went well. We were really happy with him and would recommend him. He provided the setup for inside the event space (including spare mics for speeches), outside where we held the ceremony, and cocktail hour in a separate area nearby.
Towards the end of the night all our guests had left and my wife and I went back into the event space to tip Alex and start breaking down tables and cleaning up. He proactively asked if we had any song requests so he played our unofficial wedding song for just the two of us to dance to. It was a really nice end to the night and we were really glad he was our DJ.

Response from Alex Sax & DJ:
Thank you so much, Matthew! It was a blast playing for you guys.
All the best,
Alex
We had Alex DJ for our wedding last year and he was absolutely amazing! We danced literally the whole night. He chose songs that we requested and songs based off of our favorites! We received such positive feedback from our guests about how fun our wedding was and the dance floor was packed the whole night - we can attribute that to Alex. Book Alex for your event!!

DJ Alex was incredible during our wedding! Not only did he play what was on our must-play list, but he read the crowd and kept us dancing all night. Very personable and very friendly, he was great to chat with and took our requests without hesitation.

Alex did an awesome job at our wedding! We gave him some guidelines of type of music we wanted to hear and some favorites, but let him work his magic the rest of the night. He was quick to adjust based on the vibe of the party as the evening rolled on. Definitely recommend him for your wedding or big event, Alex is an absolute pro!!

Alex was the DJ at our wedding and did a phenomenal job throughout the night from ceremony to reception. He played all the hits and kept the dance floor packed all night long. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our big day!

We had a great experience with Alex. He had the dance floor filled all night long. Before the wedding we gave him a list of about 10 "must play" songs and he took it from there with deciding what to play. He nailed it. The transitions between songs were mixed really nicely and we liked how he put a more "dancy" or "techno-y" twist on some of the songs. He was also really responsive when the bride and I had song requests during the night. He mixed them in really quickly. It made the whole evening feel like we were at a club with a legitimate DJ and not with someone who just played a set playlist for the whole time.
I also appreciated how he found a perfect impromptu song for our pinata at the end of the night and let one of the groomsman use the mic to give instructions.
A guest texted me a day after and said "that was the most legit DJ I have ever seen at a wedding."
