  DJ Jesse DJd our wedding a few weeks ago and did a spectacular job, all guests were dancing the moment he started playing and danced all night !

  James is the definition of an amazing wedding DJ/MC!!! He is so fun and hype, he really knows how to get the crowd going and bring great vibes to the... read more party! The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone keeps complimenting that it was the best wedding/party they've ever been to! James did a great job at not playing a song for too long while we were dancing, and his transitions were on point! He even got my 91 year old grandma (who just had back surgery a few months ago) on the dance floor! He ran the musical chairs scavenger hunt game, and did such an awesome job at making it so fun for the entire crowd! You can tell he's such a well experienced wedding DJ/MC with how smoothly he runs everything! We would highly recommend him to everyone!!

  James is as friendly and professional as they get, 2 traits that I find absolutely necessary when working with a contractor.  Engaging, timely, full of energy- what more can you... read more ask for when hiring a professional, and particularly a DJ/MC.  James kept the group of 12 year olds singing and dancing throughout the event.  Without James, the party would not have been as great of a hit as it turned out to be.

  Honestly, James from All The Above Events was the best vendor we hired for our wedding and all of our vendors were amazing.  From our very first touch base with... read more James, it was so comforting to see how professional, organized and thoughtful he could make an often stressful situation.  He sent us spreadsheets for the ceremony and reception, we just needed to fill out what type of music or specific song requests.  He did all the rest!  But, what really impressed us was the fact that James reached out to our venue  on his own to coordinate logistics for the wedding day.  Once our big day came, James was an excellent MC and DJ for us!!  Since he has so much experience, everything from the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception went perfectly.  Once the dancing started he was able to keep everyone on the dancefloor having a great time.   I truly cannot recommend and thank James enough, he really made if possible for us to enjoy our wedding day!

  James was an amazing DJ and MC for our wedding. He was very organized, detailed, and very flexible. He was not afraid to make sure the day was going smoothly... read more in a very respectful way. I remember asking him the night before for a couple of changes, and he made it happen without hesitation.
As we were preparing, we met with him a couple of times via zoom and we found him to be very respectful and affable. Preparing for a wedding, my wife and I were very nervous. He made it very simple and provided us with the tools/information we needed for choosing music (In our opinion, one of the most important details of a wedding). Everyone loved the music he played and there was never a problem with AV. The day went smoothly thanks to James and I would choose him again in a heartbeat to be our DJ and MC.

  Working with James was such an amazing experience! Throughout our wedding planning process, James was always available to make sure we had all of our questions answered and was so... read more professional and meticulous with all the details. He accommodated every change or edit we had in mind and he made sure we were comfortable and confident with everything we did. On the day of our wedding, everything couldn't have gone more perfectly! He and our wedding coordinator had the whole night running so smoothly and when it got to the dancing - the party never stopped! We are so grateful and blessed to have worked with him. Thank you!

  James was extremely helpful. My company was in a crunch, and although James was unable to help me with a custom order (due to needing an item same day) he... read more was kind, helpful and gave me some great tips! Truly appreciate customer service like this! Thank you again James!

  We highly recommend James! We had him for our wedding and he made everything run so smoothly! Transitions were smooth, he kept the environment lively and fun, and made sure... read more my husband and I were well taken care of. Planning a wedding can be so stressful, but we realized having a good DJ/ MC makes such a big difference. Even before the wedding day, he was very easy to communicate with, answered promptly and was willing to meet with us over zoom to go over questions and the schedule. His documents are well organized and he offers other services too. We also used his photobooth service which was definitely worth it! There was someone else to help run it and it was a hit at the wedding (also so fun to look at the photos after the wedding). James was very professional, kind and organized and we can't recommend him enough! Thank you James and your team for your hard work and making the wedding day a great day! You went above and beyond and we are so grateful!

  I hired James for my 40th birthday party and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I reached out to him to the last song of the night, James... read more was awesome. He was so easy to work with and he did a great job at the party. All of my guests loved him. He's so easy going and chill, I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Thank you James!

  We hired James for our wedding and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. During our zoom meeting with him about a week before the wedding, we felt very... read more at ease and excited to work with him because of his chill vibe and it felt like he understood exactly what we were going for. On the day of, he was very professional and was nice about taking song requests from our family/friends as long as they weren't on the do not play list and still seemed to be music that we'd like based on the list we gave him. James was also the MC for our wedding and brought great energy. Would definitely recommend him!

  We hired James from AlltheAboveEvents to D.J. and M.C. our October 2022 wedding. From the beginning, James was awesome and open to our ideas and very much a delight to... read more work and communicate with.

What makes James special is that he didn't feel like he was trying to rush us. Other DJs we contacted felt pushy, whereas James felt like he wanted us to find the right person and to make sure we could achieve our musical vision. Once we spoke with him, we knew we didn't want to speak to anyone else. He was our guy.

We even asked him if he can use specific versions of songs that we wanted. In our interview with him, we felt confident James could get our favorite songs, including those from soundtracks, anime, games, and movies that are dear to us.

And on our big day, we heard all our favorite songs and special requests coming from our guests. The way he hyped up the audience and amped up the wedding party made our Grand Entrance full of celebratory energy, and we felt it continue throughout the rest of the evening. Our guests said they loved our D.J. We were so thankful to have him with us to make our dream wedding come true.

  My husband and I can honestly say that James was one of the BEST parts of our wedding! Music was a huge deal as we began our search for our... read more wedding DJ. Having come from a DJ background himself, my husband made it a point to find a DJ who could demonstrate smooth transitions and a confident presence on the mic.

From the beginning, we loved that James provided us with samples of his sets/mixes from previous events. Many other DJs had no demos to provide us upon request and we did not feel comfortable blindly trusting someone with such an important part of our day. Once we heard how well James played and could work a crowd as an MC, we knew we had to go with him.

One of the best parts about working with James is that he provided a comprehensive Day Of music timeline and allowed us to select a song for all those special moments (i.e. cake cutting song, bouquet toss, bridal party procession, etc.). Not only did this help immensely with our planning, but he played every song that we wanted and more! We told James that while it was important to us to play the songs we wanted, it was equally as important to please the crowd and keep our guests dancing.

James did an incredible job keeping our guests engaged, playing all of our selected songs, and even more songs that we loved but hadn't requested. Our guests kept raving about how the music choices were perfect and how fun our wedding was. He also honored our guests's song requests without killing the vibe, which is often difficult to do.

We owe a huge part of our amazing day to James and are so grateful that we found him!

Surprisingly during my wedding, I had friends, family, and even venue managers recognize James from previous weddings that they had attended. They all had their own stories of how James was a joy to work with, or how he made the events so exciting.

  I am extremely pleased to have James at our wedding. He was very professional, courteous, organized, and detail oriented throughout the process.

- Before the wedding: James has been very responsive... read more with our coordinations over email. He provided excel sheets that helped keep track of schedule, our requested songs for the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception, and other various details we would not have thought about if we were to do this on our own. He was also very flexible and easy to work with when introduced to our wedding coordinator as well.
- Ceremony: James was detailed when it came to logistics and it is evident he is very experienced at hosting these events. The flow of the ceremony was very smooth. One additional thing I appreciated is that the sound system/speakers he provided were also high quality making it easy to hear everything clearly for our outdoor ceremony.
