What They're Saying...
- Hire john as your wedding dj! We met John at a wedding expo and right off the bat he won us over with his charisma and fun personality. We thought we were hiring a DJ but ended up with a combination emcee, master of ceremonies, and friend who worked hard to make our wedding/reception exactly what we wanted. For the ceremony I requested splicing of a few songs and John made the timing work for our walk down the aisle perfectly. My now-husband and I have a very broad group of family/friends, and their music tastes/requests reflect that. For the cocktail hour & reception John beautifully and seamlessly weaved together wedding classics, pop hits, country, pop punk, ranchero, and reggaeton via our request. The transitions between the songs and genres were AMAZING and the dance floor was packed for almost every song. Probably our favorite part (other than the great music) was his unique offering of retelling our "love story" from both our vantage points -- and our guests loved it too. John goes above and beyond and we're so glad to have hired him for our day.read moreread less

Brandi10/04/2025 - 10/10 Recommend! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than John for our wedding! From start to finish, he absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for. John’s energy, professionalism, and incredible taste in music kept the dance floor packed all night long. He knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept the momentum going without missing a beat. What truly set him apart were the personalized introduction speeches he gave for our wedding party; they were funny, heartfelt, and so memorable that our guests are still talking about them. John isn’t just a DJ — he’s the friendly neighborhood DJ, and he lived up to the name in every way. We’re so grateful he was part of our big day, and we can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to make their wedding unforgettable!read moreread less

Cristina6/02/2025 - Great DJ for our special day John was great as our dj. He is very friendly, professional and engaging. He listened to our ideas about the music we wanted and gave great input on how he has helped other couples and incorporating it into our wedding. He had ideas we like and went with that we hadn't thought of. We had complements after the wedding from our guests on how they enjoyed the music.read moreread less

Christine1/30/2024 - Friendly and most helpful DJ John had been recommended by one of my friends that got married 10 years ago. My daughter Caroline and her husband Zachary were going to compile a Spotify playlist and had a person picked out that was going to act as the DJ for their wedding. After my friend recommended John, I got in touch with him and I am so glad that we ended up hiring him! He has a questionnaire for the couple with songs that they wanted him to play and also a "do not play" list. John was so helpful from the pre-wedding zoom meetings until the end of the wedding last Sunday, 11/12/23. John is not just a DJ that plays music. He is a fabulous entertainer! He told Caroline and Zachary's "love story" (how they met and their first date) and nothing seemed to phase him. If there was a miscommunication or somebody was not ready for the next segment of the wedding, John masterfully played some funny tunes to entertain us. The biggest compliment we received from one of the friends of the groom was: "I wanted to sit down and take a break but the DJ plays one hit song after another and I just gotta dance!"read moreread less

Katja11/14/2023 - A true professional Having worked in the wedding industry it was difficult to not suggest vendors when my daughter got engaged. HOWEVER, there was one vendor that was a no-brainer. John Haskins with Friendly Neighborhood DJ was the only call we would make for DJ/Emcee. He is a true professional while still providing a fun and lively service. By the way, most of both sides of the family.... not dancers. If he can get THAT CROWD on their feet, then he's worth every penny. He's the best!read moreread less

Jennifer4/07/2021 - John is the BEST!! John is the absolute BEST!!! He is detail-oriented, energetic, great at his job, and just an overall awesome person. He truly is a Master of Ceremonies! I can't tell you how many people came up to me throughout the night saying how amazing and engaging John was-- people are still asking me where we found him! The whole night was specifically tailored to us as a couple, whether it was the hilarious bridal party entrances, the Love Story he told before our first dance to share with the crowd our journey that led us to our wedding day, the tear jerking mother-son dance where he interviewed my husband about his mom and played that throughout their song, or the "moment alone" he created for us at the end of the night. The list goes on. If you are looking for a DJ/MC that will make your wedding a day you or your guests will never forget, The Friendly Neighborhood DJ is it!!read moreread less

“When planning our wedding we thought entertainment was where we could save money. We even considered using an iPod in lieu of a DJ. After meeting with John we started to realize the importance of a Master of Ceremonies and decided to invest in entertainment. Now that it's all said and done we can't imagine NOT having John there. He orchestrated the entire night beautifully. From the ceremony music, to the wedding party introductions, and who could forget the presentation of the love story. All of his personal touches and interactions with our guests made a huge difference. He impressed us and our guests making our night even more memorable.”
