I hired Joel per the recommendation from my cousin who told me that he throws the most incredible parties and that I wouldn't regret it. She was not wrong!!

Joel was extremely kind and responsive from our first phone conversation through the day of the wedding. I was planning the wedding from across the country which proves difficult at times, and I had a big 240 person wedding with parents who can be very hard to please. They were nervous that I had decided to go with someone who isn't from one of those huge DJ companies that churns out 5 weddings every weekend, but after sitting down to meet with Joel in NYC one afternoon during the planning process (he traveled all the way from NJ to meet with us which was so amazing), my parents were totally won over. Joel wowed them with his awesome personality and knowledge of disco music (which was their main concern...ha!), and we were good to go!!

The spreadsheet/doc that Joel shared was super helpful and fun to fill out in the months leading up to the wedding. I turned it into a google doc and would pull it out any time I was out dancing and a banger came on, to make sure I had all of my favorite dance tunes on there for him to riff off of. Def recommend this method for other people who are struggling to remember which songs get them on the dance floor!! :P

The day of the wedding was just incredible, it's kind of hard to put it into words. The ceremony music worked beautifully, and we had a kind of specific vision for the cocktail hour (tropical/tiki music to fit the vibe of our venue) which Joel knocked out of the park. The reception was incredible: Joel did a great job introducing the parties and was the perfect balance of "present" as an MC without being in your face and trying to hype the crowd. There was an INSANE CONGA LINE which was possibly my favorite moment of the evening, but most importantly, there was really never a dull moment or a lull. There was a lot of up and down during our seated dinner wedding, but thanks to Joel's skill and ability to read the crowd, people were up and dancing for every single dance set. I also heard that we had to delay our introductions into the hall because people were already dancing immediately upon entering the dinner area, which seemed to baffle and surprise the workers at the venue!!!

I have written a whole essay here but wanted to share my full experience! I also want to note that since Joel ISN'T from one of those DJ companies, that I did end up hooking him up with a separate lighting company who provided lighting towers and a booth for the reception. So if this is something you also want, it is totally do-able and Joel was extremely open and communicative with the lighting guys throughout the whole process as well, which I really appreciated!!

So, Joel, thank you so much! My parents were floored by how amazing the night was, and friends have said they were impressed by the "DFE" (dance floor energy), and another said it might be the best wedding she's even been to, because of how awesome the DJ was. If you go with DJ Lord Easy you are in good hands!!!!!

Okay I think I'm finished now.

We loved working with DJ Lord Easy! So many people have told us how great the music and dance party was. He was really helpful through the planning and came to meet us at the venue since he hadn't seen it before. We really appreciated how thoughtful and responsive he was. Our ceremony and reception had some challenges -- it rained (a lot) and our rain backup plan made things tricky, with multiple setups and a really tight space and the schedule we made for the evening went totally off the rails. Easy took it in stride and really made it look easy to cover when things didn't go as planned. We are so appreciative of that! The music was perfect, just what we wanted. He was able to transition from some off-beat songs we wanted to play really smoothly into songs everyone knows and loves to dance to. So happy to have worked with him.

There are not enough amazing things that I could say about Lord Easy, the wedding DJ! In the middle of all the planning that came along with our wedding, he took a huge weight off my shoulders. He gave me a super easy Google sheet to fill out with some songs that me and hubs like, and he knew from that small list exactly what we wanted the party to be like. We got married 3 years ago, and people STILL tell us that it was the funnest wedding they've ever been to. Our party did not stop dancing all night and we even had a giant line going around the entire hall to "Jump in the Line." He's the biggest reason that my wedding was the greatest of all time!! Xo
