Do Yourself a Favor and Hire Adam/DJ Shazam
You ABSOLUTELY need to hire Adam/DJ Shazam for your event. I booked him for my wedding at Waterfall Lodge in Sept. 2026 and weeks later I am still getting compliments from guests about how good the music, lights, and energy was on the dance floor. Adam MC’ed the entire wedding day including the pre-ceremony, ceremony, reception, toasts, first dance, cake cutting, parent dances, all the transitions in between events, and finally helped us dance the night away! His warmth, enthusiasm, and excitement during planning calls helped us get even more excited but mostly put us at ease knowing that we were in good hands. We had set up a few coordination calls before the wedding and used the Vibo app to help keep track of all the specific songs for when they needed to be played and then general vibes for ceremony, reception, and dancing playlists. It was super easy to use and Adam was a dream to work with. When we said we wanted Bardcore/medieval type covers of songs for pre-ceremony and reception, he delivered. Adam had been to our venue before so not only were there no curveballs, but he knew exactly what needed to go where. There were no mishaps and everything went perfectly during the entire day. Everything sounded incredibly clear. It really gave us peace of mind that we had someone so experienced on our wedding day who precisely knew our timeline and queues. BUT the real fun was the dance floor after dinner. Not only was it never empty, but IT WAS ALWAYS PACKED. Everyone - young, old and in between - was partying on the dance floor the ENTIRE TIME. Adam mixed the beginning and ending of songs together to create non-stop jams. He even transitioned two songs together on the same word and everyone in the crowd started freaking out and screaming because it was such a smooth transition. Between his mix, effortless transitions, and lights, people were dancing for hours. So if you want to have a good party but also not have to worry about logistics during your event, please please please do yourself a favor and hire Adam.

Best DJ Ever -
Absolutely the best DJ I could have imagined for my wedding. Adam was so responsive and professional through the whole booking process, he made my life so much easier. He uses a virtual platform to make it so easy to add song/notes/important details. It was just perfect. He also asked so many great questions and really tried to get to know us, which helped so much in the overall vibe of the day. When we go to the actual wedding, I don't think I even had to talk to him once (which is a GREAT thing for a busy bride on her wedding day) he was so on top of everything and when I did come to make a small change (the dance floor vibes were just too good, and we didn't want to play a previously discussed slow song) he pivoted immediately and everything was perfect. So many people have told me how great he was and I will 100% recommend him to anyone, for any event.

Amazing!!
Adam at DJ Shazam is hands down the best DJ we've ever worked with. From our first conversation, his communication was crystal clear and he responded to every question we had without delay. When our timeline fell behind during the reception, Adam stayed on top of everything and announced each event exactly as we wanted, keeping the night running smoothly. He brought such an outgoing energy to the celebration and kept the music flowing in a way that had our guests dancing all night long. We'd recommend Adam for any event you're planning!!

Best Night Ever
Adam (DJ Shazam) was absolutely incredible at our wedding. From the very first conversation, he was communicative, collaborative, and genuinely invested in understanding our vision for the night. He didn't just listen — he executed on every detail, bringing exactly the right energy and fun to every moment. As both our emcee and DJ, Adam made the entire evening feel seamless. He kept the night flowing naturally, read the room perfectly, and threw a party that had everyone on their feet. It was clear he put real thought and care into personalizing the experience for us, and it showed. If you're looking for a DJ who will truly collaborate with you, bring the energy, and make your reception feel like the best party you've ever been to, we can't recommend Adam highly enough. He made our celebration unforgettable.

Best DJ EVA
DJ Shazam (Adam) was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, he completely understood the vibe we were going for and delivered above and beyond in every way. We’re still getting compliments from our guests about how fun the evening was, how great the music selection was, and how much they loved our DJ. He truly made our day feel unique and unforgettable. The dance floor stayed packed, and we genuinely feel like our guests stayed late because the music and energy were just that good. Adam also uses a super easy app that made the planning process seamless. On top of everything, he was incredibly professional, personable, and easy to work with. We can’t thank him enough or recommend him highly enough. If we could do it all again, we absolutely would with DJ Shazam behind the booth.
