Recent Feedback from Christian's Events and
Clients
"Christian did a great job overall and I couldn't have asked
for a better DJ. He was very professional when we met before the event and
greatly eased the planning burden. We couldn't have asked for a better
environment for our wedding, which was of course a direct reflection on the
music and presentation by Christian. Thank you!"

"Matthew and Christian,
Your services more than exceeded our expectations. Your availability to
both email and meet with us prior to our event made for stress-free planning. We
also appreciated your willingness to provide suggestions, yet always reminding
us that you were happy to do whatever we wanted.
We could not have imagined our wedding reception going any better! We have
heard nothing from our friends and family but how much fun they had! We had our
doubts about our friends and family participating in the reception fun and were
shocked to see our grandparents among many others shaking it on the dance floor.
You guys MC'd one awesome party that is still being talked about weeks
later! We would recommend A DJ Connection to anyone and will be calling you with
any future DJ needs!
Thanks again!"

"I was not able to attend the event this year, but ALL comments from staff
and attendees were that Christian was absolutely wonderful - the best we've ever
had. Thank you for turning our event into something really special!" -Shuey Wolfe (Emerald Coast Odyssey) 3-13-09
"I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Christian and Shawn at
our Christmas Party! It was the best one ever! We have tried many DJs for our
parties each year but not one of them held a candle to Christian. I just can not
say enough about what fun we had. He made us feel comfortable and interacted
with us to assure a good time. We have such a wide variety of ages yet he
catered to all. Young and old (us over 40) alike were constantly on the dance
floor. There was more laughter and smiles than I have ever seen before. Shawn
too, jumped right in and had our management team up and dancing. Each of them
came to me and said they LOVED it! It created a family feel with no one being
left out! The raves from the employees and management continue flowing in! Thank
you, Thank you, Thank you! I will be calling on you all again and that is a
PROMISE! The entire experience was one to remember, from beginning to end. I
love the accessibility to your site and being able to speak with you personally.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, they truly made the difference. You guys are
GREAT! Thanks again for a memorable party!"

"A considerable number of our guests said that
the DJ's (Matthew and Christian) made the party a success. I agree!" John Harris (NAS Pensacola Wedding) 8-2-08
"....our DJ was Christian. He was absolutely awesome. Right on it. We had
a talent/entertainment contest. In between our contestants, we did music trivia.
Every time we got an answer, he'd already
be playing music from that artist. He was Johnny on the spot. He kept the
party going after the contest...." Tracy Ratzin (Pensacola Association of Realtors) 7/03/08
"He (Christian) went above and beyond - even played music tied in with our
last minute music trivia questions."
Lynn Peters (Pensacola Association of Realtors) 6/20/08

"I HAVE SEEN/HEARD MATT AND
CHRISTIAN AT O'RILEYS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. I THINK THEY BOTH ARE AMAZING DJ'S.
I KNEW IF I BOOKED EITHER OF THEM FOR THE WEDDING, THAT I WOULD BE PLEASED
WITH THE OUTCOME...CHRISTIAN WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH THE PLANNING PROCESS. HE
WAS VERY THOROUGH IN EXPLAINING EVERYTHING TO ME, AND GAVE ME AN IDEA OF WHAT
TO EXPECT. HE WAS VERY QUICK AT RESPONDING TO MY E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS, AND
WAS EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH."

"In July we hosted our year-end event for our entire
sales and operations teams and wanted to express my satisfaction with A DJ
Connection who provided music for the evening. In dealing with A DJ
Connection I found them to be professional, timely, and overall, a quality
organization. They are competitively priced, had good equipment and a
great selection of music. I would not hesitate to do business with them in
the future." James Winchester - General Manager
