Great DJ! So much fun!

Kris knows what he’s doing! We had a GREAT experience with him! The app he uses is very easy to figure out. He reads the crowd, gets people involved, works with the photographers for photo opportunities… couldn’t have asked for better!

We love Kris & Heidi

Kris is AMAZINGGG!
He made everything so simple, easy, and fun!! My husband and I had so much stuff to worry about approaching the wedding day that we could not properly set a playlist but Kris took care of it and he did an incredible job. He got so many of our guests dancing and everyone had a blast. We also got the photo booth package and it was the BEST DECISION EVER!! Our guests LOVED it (even the older ones) and we have access to all of the photos online and they are priceless!! Heidi was in charge of the photo booth station and she was also the sweetest

Kris is an amazing DJ who knows exactly how to get the party started. His selection on music is consistently spot on. Not only does he get your guests moving, but he keeps them moving. I have had the pleasure of working with Kris on many occasions not just as a DJ but also with his photo booth. We got some amazing pictures every time we used By Design. I received a lot of feedback in regards to the great job he did for us. I am happy to recommend him any chance I get!
