Art and Isabel,

We want to thank you for helping make our wedding so great. It couldn’t of been any better; it was exactly what we wanted and so much more. You guys blew us away, everything was perfect your equipment sounded so good. So many people at the wedding comented on the way you were so personal with everything and made the night so fun. Everyone is still talking about the Humpty dance song the our friend sang. We were both so impressed with all the extra effort you guys put in. The song selection was awesome and fit perfect. Thank you.

Thank you for everything

Sincerely,

Brad and Courtney Daugherty

From the very beginning, Art did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable with the services he provides. He took time to explain what he could offer us, and in each phase of planning, ensured that the direction we were moving in was consistent with our vision for the day.

Throughout the day, Art was amazing. He set the tempo and mood for everything from calm, reflective pre-ceremony music, to pumping party hits at the reception so everyone could enjoy dancing.

We would definitely recommend Art to anyone who needs a professional DJ, but is not sure who to go with.

Thanks, Art for making our wedding day such a brilliant success.

During our wedding, Monette and I realized 2 things:

1. Never underestimate the importance of the DJ at your wedding reception. All a DJ really does is push a few buttons and play some songs, right? Wrong! A good DJ knows what music is needed and when, he knows what’s appropriate and what isn’t, he keeps the evening flowing smoothly, and he’s professional enough to know that his role is to be the unsung hero as he makes the bride and groom look good in front of their guests.

2. Art Zippel is the only DJ you will ever need to interview. After our first meeting with Art, Monette and I both felt so comfortable with Art that he became the first and last DJ we interviewed for our wedding. Art is all the things I mentioned in item #1 and then some. He and Isabel make a great team, and they were an absolute joy to work with.

Art & Isabel: thank you both so much for all your hard work in making our wedding reception such a special event. We received a lot of compliments from our guests about how much fun our DJ was.

Thank you Art!! You and Isabel made a HUGE contribution to the success of the event, everyone had such a great time singing AND dancing to the rockin’ tunes!!! Grant and I both loved the music and the narration and our names up on the wall, and Isabel was so nice to let Terri use her microphone for the line dance. Thank you so much for everything!!!

We would definitely recommend your services in the future, and without a doubt love to have you again.

Thanks so much!!!

Art,

Thank you so much for making our wedding celebration a day to remember. We have been to weddings before were the DJ was not memorable and we have to say YOU were awesome. We have people still calling us today telling us that the wedding was the best they ever been to, and that our DJ was the best they have ever heard at any wedding. You are wonderful at what you do and you were so easy and laidback to work with that with all the other plans that go into a wedding, working with you was a breeze. We know that there was a lot of specific songs that we wanted to be played and we are so appreciative for you finding the unusually ones that we requested. We are sure we will see you again in the future. Going with Art The DJ, you just can’t go wrong.

Thank you so much,

Matthew & Marissa Veronesi

Hello Art!

Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding reception! My husband and I had a blast and so did our guests! Our feet hurt for two days after the wedding because we couldn't stay off the dance floor! You and Isabel did such a great job accommodating the songs we wanted played along with requests from our guests. Thank you for working so closely with Ryan and me to chose the perfect songs that made our reception absolutely perfect and a day that we will truly remember forever!

Thank You,
Ryan and Jolena Hubler

Art the DJ

Not only did he have people on the dance floor throughout the entire reception he even catered to all our needs for the ceremony as well. Thanks for the great work and making our special day even more memorable than we could imagine. I would and will refer Art and his mobile DJ service to anyone who is having any type of special occasion as I know he puts out 110% throughout the entire evening. Once again thanks.

Hi Art!

Thanks so much for the great reception! Kathleen and I are just back from the honeymoon and settling in.

We had so many compliments from the guests about the reception, including all the aunts and uncles who we thought would be hardest to impress! Your selection of tunes kept the dance floor hopping even though it was hot as an oven up there! And your skills as a reception MC gave a smooth flow to all the rituals like the garter toss and cake cutting and on and on!

Thanks again for a wonderful wedding reception!

Art,
You and your wife did a wonderful job entertaining the friends and family at the reception. I'm pleased to hear that people were still dancing till the end. Heather and I had a great day on Saturday and couldn't ask for anything more.
