Incredible!

John Smithfield was the DJ for my daughter's wedding. He was familiar with the venue and offered excellent advice on lighting, playlists, and timelines. He set up in 3 locations - mics and music for the ceremony, a separate outdoor space for cocktail hour and then the reception. As an MC, he was enthusiastic and supportive to everyone who made speeches. He worked with the bride and groom to create the perfect playlist (literally EVERYONE was dancing) and he incorporated the guest's favorites as well. People are still commenting on how much fun they had. As a wedding coordinator, I've worked with dozens of DJs. John S is by far one of the most talented.

A2X Music Factory is the best!

My wife and I loved our experience with A2Z Music Factory! Upon meeting with John, we were blown away by how succinctly, thoroughly, and clearly he knew how to support our special day, not only for A/V and music needs, but to keep everything on track. The preparation documents helped us to think through how we wanted our wedding to be conducted and really prepared us well for the big day. It was obvious why A2Z was highly recommended by our venue and we honestly wouldn't change a single thing with our experience. Cheers to John and the team!

More than a DJ - he does it all!

John did an absolutely incredible job for our wedding. He was super helpful during the planning process and remained detail-oriented, asking all of the right questions and providing suggestions when we didn't know exactly what we should be doing. He gave the best suggestions for songs (e.g., he decided "Hot for Teacher" would be a great intro song for my bridesmaid who is a teacher and was giving a speech; it made her laugh out loud and dissipate the nerves she was feeling). Everyone was dancing all night and said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. He went above and beyond in so many ways - in helping us secure rentals like draping, in asking us if we needed anything several times throughout the night, and in making sure we had a fantastic time. We feel very grateful we booked him for our big day and would highly recommend to everyone!

We love John and Carrie. They are an awesome couple and very easy to work with. They are pur top vendor for entertainment services. We initially used them for my wedding in October 2016, and once we launched our event planning company we immediately reached out to them to provide entertainment for our launch party in February 2017. If you are looking for a great DJ that gets the crowd moving, look no further. Photo booth, they got it! Games for your wedding reception, they have that also! They have been doing this for years and they are very professional. We highly recommend them! :-)
