DJ Shazam: The King of Dancing Queens
Do yourself a favor and hire Adam/DJ Shazam now. Days after the wedding, we still had people reaching out to tell us how great Adam was: “DJ Shazam was everything.” “He was so good. That was the most fun we’ve had at a wedding since ours.” Beyond obviously bringing the party and good vibes, Adam was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We never expected our DJ to actually want to get to know us, but on every call leading up to the wedding, Adam made it a point to understand who we are and what we envisioned for the day. He asked thoughtful, detailed questions that showed how deeply he cares about creating something more meaningful than just a bomb set list (which, he absolutely overdelivers on). He builds an experience that feels personal, intentional, and wildly fun. Wedding planning can be stressful, but every time we talked to Adam, it reminded us why we were doing all of this and got us genuinely excited for the big day. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s extremely organized, professional, and able to take your ideas (or help you figure them out) and make them even better - hire Adam/DJ Shazam now. You want the classics? He’s got ‘em. You want a fresh twist on the classics that’ll get your crowd hyped, even if you don’t quite know what that looks like? He’s got that too. Adam, thank you so much. You were truly a highlight of both the day and the entire planning process. We’d hire you 100 times over and crash any wedding you’re a part of!
Super fun, high-energy and professional DJ!
We were introduced to DJ Shazam through our wedding planner. Once I heard his mixes, I knew we would be a great fit. DJ Shazam did an amazing job at our wedding. He was super helpful throughout the entire process, guiding us through song selection, reception flow, first dance and parent dances, and other important choices. When I told him I liked remixed Motown song, he knew exactly the right mixes to use. We had different playlists for the different phases of the wedding (cocktail hour, dinner, dancing) and he did an excellent job mixing it all together. His mixing, audio equipment and lighting were all top notch and created a super fun atmosphere throughout our wedding. What we appreciated most was the tremendous energy DJ Shazam brought to our wedding - our guests were literally on the dance floor until the very, very end!
stop looking--you have found your DJ!
From the moment we had our first call with DJ Adam, we felt connected, seen, and excited to work with him. Leading up to the event, he was communicative, upbeat, and supportive. He provided a platform allowing us to add must play songs that we were able to easily contribute to during the months leading up to the wedding. The calls with him always left us even more excited! At the actual event, we cannot say enough about how major of a role he played in making our wedding so memorable, special, and fun. He was present and excited without being the center of attention, and his love for what he does is undeniable. During and after our wedding, one of the first things that guests have told us is how much they loved the DJ and how excellent of a job he did at cultivating the vibes and keeping the dancefloor packed. Multiple guests have told us that they never dance at weddings, but found themselves on the dancefloor the entire night. We absolutely loved working with DJ Shazam and cannot recommend him highly enough!
Professional, Hilarious, and Absolutely Perfect
We had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ Shazam (Adam) for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day — and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ, hype man, and all-around amazing human to be part of our celebration. From the very beginning, Adam brought a level of sincerity and excitement that made us feel like our wedding genuinely mattered to him. He wasn’t just there to play music — he was invested in making sure the entire experience felt personal, fun, and unforgettable. What stood out the most was how attentive he was. Our plans shifted more times than we can count, and Adam took every single change in stride. No stress. No complaints. Just a positive attitude, adaptability, and a clear passion for making things work. His sense of humor was such a gift — warm, sharp, and woven perfectly into his MC style. He struck that rare balance of being engaging without ever being over-the-top, and his energy helped carry both days in a way that felt effortless. On top of that, he was incredibly organized — you could tell he had everything mapped out, but still left room to adjust and flow with the moment. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music and the vibe — and we credit so much of that to Adam’s talent, professionalism, and heart. If you’re lucky enough to have DJ Shazam at your event, know you’re in the absolute best hands.
