    BEST DJ IN TEXAS!!

    STOP YOUR SEARCH NOW, YOU HAVE FOUND HIM!!! I am a wedding vendor who has seen Josh perform at dozens of weddings over the years. When it came time for my own special day, we literally booked our celebration around Josh's availability - he's THAT good. He is kind, professional, fun and can work a crowd like no other. Working with him was just so easy. I had the time of my life and really owe the majority of that to Josh. Could not recommend him more!! We love you Josh!!!!

    Amazing Job

    Josh did an absolutely incredible job at our wedding last October. He struck the perfect tone throughout - his live music was beautiful during the ceremony / cocktail hour, and he crushed it MCing and DJing during the reception. Gave us exactly what we asked for. You could tell he just loves doing this and made everyone feel welcome and helped all have a great time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Josh to anyone.

    An Unforgettable DJ and a Highlight of Our Wedding

    Working with Josh Klaus was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first planning call, it felt like we were talking to a long-time friend. He has this incredible passion for what he does and his excitement for our big day felt so genuine. What really blew us away was his willingness to go above and beyond. He even shared a custom playlist for our welcome party, which we hadn't even booked him for! On the wedding night itself, he perfectly captured our vibe despite us giving him very few guidelines. He’s a true professional who listens and delivers. Our guests haven't stopped raving about the energy he brought to the dance floor. Josh was one of the highlights of the night for everyone and really amplified our wedding experience. Honestly, our only regret is that we don’t have another big event coming up soon so we can hire him again! Thank you so much, Josh!


Formal attire
I do! I learn up to 3 songs for the ceremony and 3 songs for the first dances.
My passion, professionalism and the smile on my face. I am truly committed to giving you and your spouse the best day of your life by helping to celebrate your love.
I do take requests during my DJ set (assuming you have booked the live music/ DJ package)
I provide both! I can do one or the other or package them together.
I can provide Christian songs for the ceremony!
I am!
I like to take songs from the 50's through today and put an acoustic twist on them. These twists can either be very slow and romantic (ceremony) or very upbeat and poppy (cocktail hour, portions of reception) and I always have a smile on my face when I do it.
I arrive at least 1.5 hours prior to ceremony start time if I am hired for ceremony/cocktail hour only and I arrive 2.5 hours ahead of time if I am booked for live music/ DJ portion of the evening.
I only provide uplighting for my DJ booth.
Travel fee depends on how far I travel and break down fee is included in my quote!
They are priced into the quote!
