    The dj that will bring the hype out of everyone

    There are two things that make an incredibly fun reception: the guests and the DJ! I'm the owner/founder of Susan Ly Photography and I have worked many weddings.

    DJ Julian DEFINITELY brought the energy to this wedding! Of all the weddings I've worked, I have not danced, jumped, or celebrated this much at a reception until working with Julian. HE MADE THE ENTIRE WEDDING RECEPTION SOOO HYPE!! One of the compilation photos of the guests speaks for itself! His transitions from one song to another were just right-- clean and clever. DJing definitely takes skill to make that transition get a crowd more amped up for the next song and he did just that. I've never seen a more impressed, outgoing, and fun reception. All the vendors, the wedding guests, and the bride and groom were so happy to have him. I'd recommend him to anyone and would even book him myself in the future if we decide to get married in VA!

    Such a great experience

    We could not say enough great things about Julian. From day one he was professional and responsive. Leading up to our wedding he was organized and focused on our event. Julian single handedly made our reception the most fun for us and our guest. The way he knew how to interact with the crowd, and keep the party going was unmatched. Julian comes from a time in the music scene where you had to have an ear and it really shows in his sets. He was wonderful.

    Wedding review

    Julian was absolutely amazing for our wedding! From a recommendation my husband and I received, We reached out to him a few months prior to our wedding and not only did he make himself available for our big day but also eased the stress of it all! His communication was great and he made sure to understand our vision for our day. He was extremely professional from our first call to our wedding day. He provided so much energy and fun, making our big day one we will NEVER forget. So appreciative of the connection and wouldn’t look anywhere else for services in the future!

    Superior Entertainment!

    Julian is a party wizard! He had every age group at my son’s wedding on that dance floor. That includes my youngest son who I have never, and I mean never seen dancing at any event!
    He made the entertainment process very easy and stress free. He answered any and all questions pertaining to his work and handled the reception events flawlessly. My friends and strangers were complimenting his DJ skills even after he had gone and the lights were on. Both families felt blessed to have him MC our children’s wedding reception this year. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

    DJ Julian is the Life of the Party!

    DJ Julian absolutely crushed our wedding!! From the moment the dance floor opened, it was packed with people having the best time. In meeting with him beforehand and giving him the overall vibe we wanted, he did everything and more! It was such an awesome atmosphere that he even played an extra 30 minutes and kept the party going. All of our guests raved about the music and how he perfectly read the room and kept everyone grooving. We could not recommend him more!

    Best dj ever

    DJ Julian absolutely KILLED IT at our wedding on 10/14/23. My husband and I were undecided on a DJ for the wedding for the better part of a year (of our 2-year engagement) because we just hadn't been wowed by anyone at that point. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Julian through a recommendation and my husband and I immediately said "we have to book him for our wedding". Not only is Julian an absolutely STELLAR DJ, he is SO fantastic to work with. His communication through the entire process is so helpful and he is 100% there to make sure your day is exactly how you want it. He also has amazing suggestions if you aren't sure what you want or don't have an event planner to guide you! I could go on and on with this review, but the point is, BOOK DJ JULIAN FOR YOUR EVENT. Wedding, company party, whatever the event is, he is your go to. Hands down.

    Incredible! Outstanding! Remarkable!

    We had the most amazing experience with DJ Julian Rivera! He and his team absolutely made our day! His experience and expertise had my husband and I feeling calm, confident and at peace throughout everything during planning and the wedding day itself! We had so much fun and DJ Julian Rivera went above and beyond anything we could have dreamed of for our day and was instrumental in the flow and feel of our wedding day! We can’t thank him enough!

    Fantastic!! Would 100% choose to work with Julian again!

    Do yourself a favor and book Julian for your wedding! I got married on 4/22/23 and my wedding guests are still talking about how awesome my DJ was. He is professional, organized, and flexible to make any last minute changes. He knows how to read a room, and kept the dance floor moving all night!

    Absolutely Amazing

    DJ Julian was absolutely awesome the entire time! He was on point with all the ceremony music and then continued with excellent music for the reception. He helped us create a vision during our meeting and then made sure it happened on our wedding day. DJ Julian was able to blend polar opposite songs together to help get all generations of guest up and dancing! He was personable, high energy, and super flexible. At our wedding, he worked so well with the venue and our coordinator that both parties look forward to working with him more in the future. DJ tJulian is a top-tier DJ that will make your day extra special with music tailored to your wants and a partnership that will cause you no stress on your special day.

    Wedding in a Barn

    Julian did amazing and made our wedding even more special then we could have imagined. The process was really easy and he was more than willing to work with our schedules and get exactly what we wanted and more. He is the first person I will go to for events in the future.

    All of Your Guests Will Be Impressed!

    We cannot recommend DJ Julian Rivera ENOUGH! He goes above and beyond for his clients. We hired him for our wedding and each of the 60 guests raved over his DJ skills and high energy. He made our reception a great and fun time for all our guests. My 79 year old grandmother even joined in, and this woman never dances. I'll keep recommending him to any person looking for a DJ - he's that good!

    My bestie booked him and surprised me!

    I first heard DJ Julian at Peabody's in Virginia Beach. My best friend and I raved over him for months. We loved him so much that she went and looked for him on social media. Little did I know that she did that for a future event. My bridesmaids booked him for my bachelorette party... I had NO idea!!!! I was so happy and surprised. Julian was able to play all the hits that were up to MY standards (just like the first performance that I heard him at). A plus is that Julian helped us with a noise complaint at 5:30 PM, in broad daylight. And he handled it so well, professionally, and didn't stop the party! I would book him over and over. In fact, I'd make him my resident DJ for everything!!!

    Best dj hands down!

    Julian was incredible to work with! From the very first text exchange he was very warm and welcoming. He has such a fun, energetic personality that came through in his work. His music playlist kept the party going until the very last second of the night. I highly recommend Julian to anyone looking to hire entertainment for your next event. He is next level!

    Awesome experience!

    Julian knocked it out of the park for my wife’s and I wedding. He was an excellent master of ceremonies, and really knew how read the crowd. He has a great personality with a natural energetic charisma who kept the wedding lively and entertaining for all ages!

    We highly recommend DJ Julian Rivera!

    You won't leave the dance floor! So Amazing!

    DJ Julian is absolutely the best! He listened to every detail my son and daughter in law wanted for their wedding ceremony music and for the most fantastic reception. His mixes of music had the dance floor packed all night long and our guests were talking about how much fun they had for months later! Julian takes the time to help you organize your music selections by meeting with you personally and then continues with any follow up planning. He is professional, thoughtful, so talented and a genuine person you feel is apart of your family! We are booking him for another wedding and my husband's retirement party because his personal music mixes and jams are like no other! He will not let you down!

    Book This DJ!

    Julian was absolutely amazing at our wedding! Even leading up to the event he was available, in touch, and personable. He went above and beyond to make sure that our special day was geared towards us and our guests. His music kept the party going the entire night and he was excellent at reading the vibes. Another reason I would recommend him was his skill set on the microphone. His energy, compassion, and interaction with the event made it the ultimate performance. I would 10 out of 10 recommend Julian to anyone for any event anytime!

    AMAZING night because of Julian and Jeremy!

    Wow, I don’t know where to start. DJ Julian and Jeremy were absolutely WONDERFUL. Communicating with them was such a breeze and they were so professional and courteous. My wedding night was such a fun experience; the lights, monogram, music, everything was a hit! Everyone loved the music and the DJ’s transitioned everything so smoothly, five star night because of them! BOOK THEM!

    Kept our wedding / patry live all day

    DJ Julian Rivera exceeded our expectations. Very punctual and extremely professional through the whole process. He met with us before the wedding to discuss music and timelines, gave us homework to pick our own songs. He played a little of everything we wanted and pulled off our time-line flawlessly. From pre-ceromny all the way to last call he was on point keeping all our guest entertain and lively. We loved the fact he actually was DJing/Mixing through the whole wedding... not just playing a preset list. He really knows how to keep a crowd involved and entertained.
    Our wedding was out of town and he worked with us on travel as well.
    At the end of the night our venue owner said he was one of the best DJ's he has ever had at his venue in over 300 weddings.

    He has multiple packages to accommodate any of your needs and event sizes.

    Thank you Julian for making our wedding smooth and entertaining.
