About The Other Wedding DJ
The Other Wedding DJ
I’ve been a touring drummer for the last decade with Pattern is Movement. I’ve had the pleasure to share the stage with artists like The Roots, St. Vincent, Dirty Projectors, Shabazz Palaces and tour all around the world. I’ve also been booking shows for years at Philly’s own Johnny Brenda’s. My life revolves around music and that is why I love to DJ.
All of my years of listening to and performing music have helped me hone my ability to read a crowd and when I’m spinning a wedding – my focus is to get and keep the party going. So, when you hire me, you’ll get a DJ who is emotionally invested in your day. We’ll work together to figure out the songs you’ve got to hear on that special day as well the ones you do not want played. My job is to get everyone dancing from your Grandma to your best friend and I take that responsibility seriously!

Best wedding DJ EVER!
From our first phone call we knew The Other Wedding DJ, Chris Ward, fit his company name. That he was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding DJ. Someone who truly understands sound and how music can create a perfect ambience. And a month out from our wedding, we can confidently say Chris exceeded our vision. Music is a very important part of both of our lives and Chris was able to skillfully and seamlessly piece together every second of our wedding. We felt very taken care of. Chris's equipment knowledge is top notch, he made sure to have all the right equipment for the space. His extensive experience made for amazing sound and everyone noticed his talent. His use of the app Vibo made this process so easy. We added songs for each segment of our day, and Chris was the thread that wove it all together. Chris coordinated with the few live musicians we had to ensure timelines and sound were aligned well. Chris personally communicated with our day of coordinator to get everyone on the same page. For these many reasons our day ran so smoothly! All of our guests mentioned how extraordinary The Dj was. From teenage nieces and nephew's to our parents in their 60s and 70s, and everyone in between, the vibe was right alllll night. There's no one else we could picture to dj our wedding.
Fantastic DJ! Couldn't Recommend More
Chris was the perfect DJ for our wedding. By the end of our first call, I could tell that he understood the value and importance of the music to our wedding. It was a collaborative effort that allowed us to put our personalities front and center throughout the day. We had broad license to choose the music we wanted at each stage of the wedding, but Chris applied his own deep appreciation for music and professional experience to ensure that the vibe was just right throughout. I don't think another DJ would have given the time and attention that Chris did. Couldn't recommend more.
Best DJ we could have asked for!
It was a joy to have Chris DJ our wedding and he exceeded all of our expectations and hopes for our big day. Chris takes great care to get to know you and your vision for your wedding, and works with you to make sure the music reflects the people and vibe you want to create. He is very upfront and transparent about costs, timeline, expectations, and the process leading up to the wedding. He answers questions quickly and met some of our unique requests for our wedding with a smile and an eagerness to help. And he's a fun, interesting, and kind person. Couldn't recommend Chris more!
The BEST Wedding DJ
We can’t recommend Chris Ward (The Other Wedding DJ) highly enough! From the very first meeting, he was an absolute pleasure to work with: professional, easygoing, and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable experience. The dance party was one of the parts of our wedding I was most looking forward to (besides actually getting married, of course), and Chris completely delivered. We built out our song preferences for each part of the night using the Vibo app, which made the process fun and incredibly easy. Chris has just about every song imaginable in his library. And if he doesn’t, he’ll find it. He was even able to edit songs to fit perfectly for our parent dances, which was such a thoughtful touch. He also handled the ceremony sound setup for a small additional (and very fair) charge, and everything sounded flawless from start to finish. Chris gave us the freedom to express ourselves through our music and MC preferences, but when it came time to keep the energy flowing, he took charge and executed our vision perfectly. Our dance floor was packed all night, and so many guests commented on how great the music was. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s talented, flexible, and truly cares about making your day feel personal, The Other Wedding DJ is the one.
