The BEST DJ, Highly recommend - Thanks, Joe!

We LOVED working with Next Level Entertainment & DJ Joe Cortez for our wedding in Maui. We hired NLE for DJ & EmCee services, Photobooth & Up lighting and we can't speak more highly of Joe or recommend him more. We got to meet with Joe several times via Zoom & in person prior to the wedding to discuss how we wanted our big day to go and Joe was so on top of it. The reception went very smooth and he did a wonderful job as EmCee. Once the dance floor opened, Joe absolutely crushed it! As Bay Area natives, we wanted to bring the Bay to that island and he did not disappoint. We & our guests had so much fun dancing the night away! The photobooth was also a big hit! Joe and his team helped us customize our backdrop and photos which was such a nice touch for our guests. Mahalo, Joe! Thanks for making our special day truly unforgettable!

DJ Joe Sets the Stage for an Unforgettable Wedding

Our Maui wedding wouldn't have been the same without the incredible talent of DJ Joe. From the moment we met him, his friendly and kind demeanor immediately put us at ease, and we knew we were in good hands.

DJ Joe's organization skills were second to none, ensuring that every detail of our intimate wedding was perfectly executed. We were initially worried that our guests might be too shy to hit the dance floor, but Joe had a solution for everything. With his amazing ideas and fun games, he effortlessly warmed the atmosphere, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening of celebration.

One of the highlights of the night was our first dance, which was a custom mashup. Joe went above and beyond to help us edit the music multiple times until it was just right, never once complaining or hesitating to lend his expertise.

Thanks to DJ Joe, our wedding reception was an absolute blast! From start to finish, he kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. It's safe to say that everyone in attendance will forever remember the amazing atmosphere he created.

If you're considering hiring a DJ for your wedding, look no further than DJ Joe. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shine through in every beat. We can't thank him enough for making our special day in Maui, Hawaii, one that we'll cherish forever :)

Best emcee/DJ for your wedding

We first experience Joe Cortez and his Next Level Entertainment (NLE) team at a friend's wedding a couple of years back. We knew from that moment that we were going to hire NLE to emcee/DJ our wedding. From our very first meeting all the way to our big day, Joe was very down to earth and easy to communicate with. Joe takes his time getting to know you and what you want and offers suggestions that may improve the flow of the reception. Since we had been planning our wedding during a pandemic, Joe made the process very easy and most importantly stress free. Joe and his team was able to raise the energy level of the guests and was able to keep the guests engaged throughout the night. They made everyone feel welcome, relaxed, and everyone had a great time. One of our best wedding planning decisions.

DJ & Event Host

I'm Joe, Founder of Next Level Entertainment. I've been lucky enough to have spent the last twenty-years doing what I love best: DJing at popular nightclubs and making friends with couples while creating their unforgettable wedding experiences.

I married my high school sweetheart and know that wedding day moments go by quickly, but last a lifetime. Some of favorite parts of the job are with clients sharing their stories, maximizing laughter, pulling heart strings and making friends and family go crazy on the dancefloor.

And I can't wait to meet you and help you elevate your wedding to the Next Level!
