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!

    Amazing Music, Seamless Night, Packed Dance Floor

    Chris did an amazing job at our wedding! From the beginning, he took the time to understand what we wanted and made the whole process incredibly easy. We had a somewhat unconventional self-uniting ceremony, and he made sure everything flowed seamlessly and that we had everything we needed to execute it the way we envisioned. He also worked all of our music selections into the timeline perfectly and checked in with us closer to the wedding so everyone was on the same page. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared about how the night went. It never felt like he was just there to do the bare minimum; he clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and wanted everything to go well for us. And the dance floor absolutely reflected that. I tried to stay out there all night because the vibe was so good, and so many of our guests raved about the music afterward. I would absolutely recommend The Other Wedding DJ to anyone who wants a great night, a packed dance floor, and one less thing to worry about on their wedding day.

    Best wedding DJ ever and it’s not close

    We cannot thank Chris enough for his outstanding and exceptional contribution to our wedding. His collaboration and preparation in the buildup was absolute first class (especially given all the last minute curveballs i threw), his communication and expertise was second to none, and of course- the big day- he absolutely brought the house down. The execution of every little queue and nuance throughout the many stages of the whole day was perfect, and the party we always wanted to throw happened because of Chris. It was not only the most fun and best day of our lives, but we have continuously received glowing feedback from our guests about how immaculate the vibes were through the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, and how unbelievably fun the dancing was at the reception. Chris made that happen. Again, we cannot thank and recommend Chris enough. We will never forget our beautiful wedding day.

    Hands down the best DJ you will find! Chris is super cool, professional, fun, and really picks up on the party vibe you’re looking for. He really made our wedding party / dance party the most fun event I have been to in years!

    DJ Chris is amazing

    We can't say enough good things about DJ Chris with The Other Wedding DJ. From our very first conversation, it was clear how much care he put into our wedding. He took the time to truly understand the atmosphere we wanted to create and made sure the music matched that vision perfectly at every moment of the day. Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made the whole planning process easy, using modern tools and technology to collaborate with us on song selections, timelines, and every detail along the way. It never felt like a chore, it felt like working with someone who genuinely cared about getting it right. What stood out most was his sincere love for music and DJing. That passion came through in everything he did, and it's what made our celebration so special. Our guests are still talking about the music, and the dance floor was packed all night. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who combines professionalism, great communication, and a real love for what he does, we can't recommend Chris highly enough.

    Epic DJ experience

    From our first conversation, we knew Chris from The Other Wedding DJ was the right choice for us. He stayed in touch throughout the planning process and made everything feel effortless, he really listened to what we wanted and then took it a step further by adding songs we didn't even know we needed. On the wedding day, Chris was attentive to every detail and played exactly what we requested while keeping the energy perfect all night long. What stood out most was his genuine passion for making sure the night was about us as a couple, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Chris made the whole experience so easy and we absolutely loved working with him. We'd recommend The Other Wedding DJ to anyone looking for a DJ who actually cares about making your day special.


Yes—but I keep it light. I’m happy to handle intros and announcements with clarity and energy, but I won’t overdo it or try to steal the spotlight.
100%. Your do-not-play list is sacred. If there are songs or genres that aren’t your vibe, they won’t make it anywhere near your big day.
I’m based in Philadelphia, but I love a good road trip. Travel within 30 is included, and I’m happy to quote for longer distances or destination events.
I don’t share videos—and that’s been an intentional choice from the beginning. My approach is a little different from the traditional “wedding DJ” style: no up-lighting, props, or hype mic work. I focus on collaborating with each couple to curate a soundtrack that’s meaningful to them and gets people dancing. And while I could edit a slick highlight reel, I can’t edit a review—so I let the honest feedback from my couples speak for itself. You can read their experiences right here on my Zola profile or on my website.
Yes, I do! I carry full liability insurance, and I’m happy to provide a certificate of insurance (COI) if your venue requires one.
