    Russell and Stacey were beyond incredible

    Russell was an amazing DJ, and MC, for our wedding. He kept everything flowing, and has a great radio voice. We had several meetings with him leading up to the wedding, and he was prompt and very professional. His setup was tasteful, and his skills were excellent.
    We went with his day of coordinator, Stacey, who kept everything In check, and was the biggest part of our day going smoothly. Stacey listened to our needs, and executed everything the way we asked. I would give this dynamic duo a 10/10- you won’t be disappointed booking them for your big event.

    Northern Lights DJ Services

    Russell with Northern Lights was amazing to have out at our wedding. He was super easy to work with, very professional and organized, helping us navigate events of our ceremony we didn’t even consider. All of our guests came up to us throughout the night to compliment the music selection, and he did an awesome job at matching the vibe of the guests and event as the night progressed. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to make our night special, I know we loved having him out, and hearing our families continuously compliment him was constant reassurance that we made the right choice when booking Northern Lights!

    Stop Looking! Northern Lights is your DJ!!!

    We booked Northern Lights DJ from a recommendation from a friend and could not have been happier! Super professional, and easy to work with. I have never met a DJ that really got to know his clients in order to prepare a set list! He kept the music going for a banquet of 300 guests, of all ages, and everyone was very happy with the music. He even provided music that kept over 120 high schoolers engaged (took song requests) and dancing for two hours!!! His music library was very extensive!

    Highly recommend!!!

    The Best DJ!

    Russell did such an incredible job for our wedding, we very highly recommended him. He was extremely organized so that he knew exactly how we wanted the evening to go/sound. He gave us a call a month or so prior to the wedding to really get us on track and get everything finalized. He was very kind and had great energy the entire wedding. Our guests even would come up to us to compliment how excellent he is. He went above and beyond to make sure the flow of our timeline was going according to plan. He really paid attention to the guests to make sure they were enjoying the music and having a good time. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and we are so happy that we chose him!

    Russell was great, he was punctual, communicative, and made sure we had the right playlist for our wedding. He filled in any extra space with similar music to our tastes so it worked out wonderful. He also brought us a large projector to show a video on during our wedding which was a huge bonus. Would highly recommend!

    Absolutely perfect!!!

    Northern Lights DJ came recommended by our venue and it was the best decision in hiring them for our wedding! The communication from the initial contact to the days leading up to was prompt and continuous. Russell, the owner had no issues at the last minute, making a couple changes. He was supportive, understanding, and more than accommodating! Our family and friends still talk about the great service and professionalism that Russell provided, especially during the shoe game that he emceed at short notice. During the reception, multiple requests were made and honored without any hesitation, for instance, my uncle requested to sing “Wonderful Tonight” and Russell set it up for him immediately! It was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better vendor! We highly recommend Northern Lights DJ and Live Music Entertainment for you will be guaranteed to get the best of the best in the business! Mr. Russell has the absolute best personality and we all felt like he was a part of the family by the end of the night.

    Excellent DJ - Professional and Not Hokey

    Very professional and not "silly". Very responsive to guest requests and played our entire playlist we had created. Also, mic'ed up the pastor and provided a wireless mic for the readers during the wedding. Highly recommend.

    Northern lights is the best

    What can I say? Russell from Northern Lights was the best DJ we could ask for. He was responsive, helped make sure everything was on time, played great music and was open to last minute requests from my dad and mom.

    Thank you so much for an incredible night.
    Thank you for playing amazing music from start to end. I highly recommend Northern Lights!!! Thank you again!

    Amazing DJ

    We met Northern Lights at the Milestone open house and my dad fell in love with them right away because he knew how to play the saxophone. Needless to say we had the saxophone during our cocktail hour and everyone enjoyed it. The music list was perfect, very up to day, and they also knew how to keep the crowd going. Couldn’t have chosen better DJ! Thank y’all so much for helping me celebrate my special day!

    Northern Lights DJ

    Pick Northern Lights DJ for your wedding! You will not be disappointed!! Music was the last thing my husband and I picked out for our wedding, and Fran was extremely quick to respond to our questions via email. We gave him our final list less than a week before we were married, and Fran was accommodating to any changes we decided to make. He also has a very classy/professional look that a lot of DJs lack. He kept people dancing all night! We couldn’t be happier with his services!

    Went out of his way to use a version of our individual dance song that had the proper speed for our dance ability. His narration throughout the night was simply excellent.

    I had the BEST experience working with Fran! I was so worried about picking the right music for my wedding. When I originally sent my requests to Fran, he got back to me very quickly and made sure I had covered all song selections. Nothing was forgotten! And when the big day was upon us, Fran made sure to double check all songs with me - and he had made all the accommodations I had asked for! He played the music perfectly for the ceremony, and at the reception he made sure that the crowd was having a great time!

    Long Story short, Fran is extremely professional and worth every penny (especially considering that he is very reasonably priced!). I cannot recommend him highly enough!
