Remarkable DJ

I would recommend Music makes you happy to any couple. We had an amazing experience with this company and they kept the party going until the very end. They go above and beyond, our DJ even got me and my fiance drinks when the caterers were busy and made sure we had everything we needed.

Chris was a real pleasure to work with. We worked together on a relaxed, outdoor BBQ wedding at Hendry House in Arlington. He was very diligent about getting to the venue on time, despite the fact that entire roads had been washed away near his house thanks to Hurricane Matthew earlier in the week. He was easy to work with, and once we touched base before the event started, I didn't need to constantly check on him to make sure he knew what he was supposed to be doing next. He played a good set, and was able to read the crowd and play off their energy level. I recommend him to anyone looking to throw a great party!
