New Years Eve party DJs for hire in Rochester
Latest reviews of our New Years Eve Party DJs in Rochester
"Incredible! George played at our wedding and did a chilled set as people arrived on the terrace, then 4 hours of party after dinner, accompanied by a sax player he knew. No word of a lie, the dance floor was full the entire night… everyone was having so much fun and I think he might have even picked up a booking from a friend who is having a wedding next year. 😂 If you want to avoid the typical cheese and have a night full of disco, house, etc, while having songs everyone will know, George is your guy. Cannot recommend him enough and wouldn’t hesitate to re-book him again. "

"Miss Velocity was an excellent DJ for my wedding day. She was communicative from the very beginning right up to the week of the wedding, always friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She brought incredible energy and had all of our guests on the dance floor throughout the night. Highly recommended!"

"Lixxy DJ did an outstanding job at our residents' rooftop terrace event last Saturday. From the afternoon through to 8pm, the music was perfectly curated to suit the atmosphere, creating a relaxed and enjoyable vibe that residents of all ages could appreciate. One of the things that stood out most was Lixxy's ability to read the crowd and adapt the music throughout the day. As the event evolved from a laid-back afternoon gathering into a more lively evening social, the playlist matched the mood perfectly. The transitions were seamless, the sound levels were well managed for the setting, and the overall experience was professional from start to finish. The feedback from residents was extremely positive, and the music played a big part in making the event such a success. We would be delighted to work with Lixxy DJ again and would highly recommend her for community, rooftop, and private events."
