Full service DJ & host for all events; including corporate, club, weddings and concerts.
This review is LOOONG overdue! I was a destination bride looking for local talent in the Miami area. I had several events that weekend but I needed a DJ for my wedding! I was really nervous about who to pick but after talking to DJ Self I decided that he seemed as if he understood the "vide" I was going for and the energy I needed coming from the NYC area to Miami. My husband is Haitian so he secured a Haitian DJ/MC and it was great since they both DJed the reception and it helped to speak to my new in-laws in Creole - it was a nice touch. My guests danced all night and really enjoyed themselves. Looking back I should have gone over an "order of service" with DJ Self better because there were things that didn't happen that I needed him to lead on like making sure people did speeches when they were sitting down to eat and other things that I needed a DJ/MC to lead so unfortunately I didn't get those things but it's OK everything else was good and everyone had a great time. Weddings are hectic but as long as the music is good and a bride doesn't have to give the DJ too much direction it's a fun night for all! Thanks DJ SELF (sorry for the delayed review!! - I am just getting around to doing all of them - life is crazy)
