About The Other Wedding DJ

The Other Wedding DJ

DJ

I’ve been a touring drummer for the last decade with Pattern is Movement. I’ve had the pleasure to share the stage with artists like The Roots, St. Vincent, Dirty Projectors, Shabazz Palaces and tour all around the world. I’ve also been booking shows for years at Philly’s own Johnny Brenda’s. My life revolves around music and that is why I love to DJ.

All of my years of listening to and performing music have helped me hone my ability to read a crowd and when I’m spinning a wedding – my focus is to get and keep the party going. So, when you hire me, you’ll get a DJ who is emotionally invested in your day. We’ll work together to figure out the songs you’ve got to hear on that special day as well the ones you do not want played. My job is to get everyone dancing from your Grandma to your best friend and I take that responsibility seriously!

    If you’re considering Chris - The Other Wedding DJ, his name truly says it all. Chris did not just DJ our wedding. He helped curate it. Every part of the music was customized around our preferences, our vision, and the exact feeling we wanted in the room. He absolutely nailed it. He completely altered the words of our first dance song so it reflected our story. He started songs at unexpected moments to create specific emotional shifts for our guests. Every transition felt intentional. It felt personal. Nothing felt generic or routine. It all felt like us. What made the experience even more meaningful was his kindness and his heart. On a day that can feel overwhelming, he was calm, present, and genuinely invested in making sure we felt supported. His energy was warm and steady, and that mattered more than we can explain. We truly believe music is the most important part of a wedding outside of love itself. Sometimes music is what translates that love to everyone in the room. Chris understood that from the very beginning. No matter what our musical limitations or unique requests were, he accepted them wholeheartedly and turned them into something magical. He helped to create a vibe that everyone felt and it’s because he trusted us. We are so incredibly grateful for our choice.

    Chris DJ’d our wedding and exceeded our expectations in every way. He brought the vibes, and we brought the energy. His musical background truly shows—he works closely with you to create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding. He also helped us with our ceremony, and his equipment was absolutely top-notch. Chris is a true artist who has mastered his craft, and we would absolutely recommend him.

    We got married in October and having Chris as our wedding DJ was one of the best decisions we made! He was so responsive and really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for with music. He was so kind and knowledgeable! He understood how much music in our wedding meant to us and we couldn’t recommend him more!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

    Chris was an absolute dream to work with. We have a very particular music taste and he worked with us to make it fun for both us and our guests!! We even had a ska section of our party and he had everyone up and dancing!! People still talk about how amazing the music was at our wedding. He respected our must haves and had so many wonderful suggestions on what to play during every section of our wedding. His set up is also absolutely beautiful. The app he had us use to make our playlists was also super helpful. He was kind and lovely and everything we wanted in a wedding dj. Book Chris, you will not regret it!! Here’s some pics of us having the time of our life because of Chris!!
