with and is detail oriented that even
if you forget something, he won't !
James is reliable and came through on
everything. Great communication and
attitude throughout the planning of
our wedding too ! We would love to have
you dj/mc another event for us in the
future !! Thanks James !!"

"James
definitely lives up to the 'BEST DJ
& MC' title. We were lucky enough to
find him with minimal effort through
a friend's wedding and were totally
impressed by his music selection and
ability to work the crowd. Out of the
entire wedding planning process, James
was the ONLY vendor we had absolutely
no doubts about - and he was by far
the easiest to work with. When we had
our first meeting, we were totally blown
away with how organized and prepared
he was! It was so refreshing to have
someone so responsive, helpful, creative,
and fun to work with. He was always
checking in to make sure we were doing
okay - AND even helped calm the bride
down when it got closer to the day.
Our guests LOVED him and kept telling
us what a great DJ/MC we had picked.
We honestly did not expect so many guests
to get out on the dance floor, but he
made it happen. Our wedding has set
the bar for many of our friends, so
they'll definitely be bugging us to
get his info soon enough!
Thank you SO much for everything, James!"

"I
was very busy during the wedding reception
so I didn't get to enjoy as much of
it as I had wanted to. However my friends
and family that attended commented on
how much they liked James Lee. They
thought he was great and they enjoyed
his work very much. I know that the
reception host changed many things throughout
the event and James was able to adjust
for the changes on the fly. James did
an awesome job with our cake cutting
event. I thought his rendition of the,
"Wedding Singer," song was great! Everyone
enjoyed it! James did a great job even
though changes in the reception itinerary
did not go as planned. He had an uphill
battle and came out on top. Thank you
so much James. We'll definitely have
you in mind for future events as well
as recommending you to our friends and
families. I hope you had lots of fun!"

"It
is with great pleasure that I write
this testimonial for James Lee from
All the Above Events. When I was planning
my party I had everything but a DJ.
The last thing I wanted to do was find
a DJ online. My friend swears by Craigslist
so I gave it a go and I found All the
Above Events. I visited the website
which looked professionally done. I
still was not sold. So I contacted James
(the DJ) and asked for a meeting but
prior to that I told him about my high
expectations, the classy party I was
planning and if he agreed to DJ for
my party and he screwed up he would
have to deal with me. Let me tell you
my wrath is nothing nice. After all
that being said James agreed to meet
with me and he took copious notes on
what I wanted. Poor guy was probably
thinking this chic is crazy. Anyone
who knows me knows that when I want
something done a certain way I will
accept anything less. The day of the
event James delivered. He was so easy
to work with; he followed my itinerary
to the “T” and even kept me on schedule.
He was indeed professional from beginning
to end. Everyone who attended my party
commented on how great the DJ was and
I could not agree more. I am a hard
sell so that says a lot about James
and his professionalism. I would without
reservation recommend James from All
the Above Events to DJ your next event.
You will not be sorry."

**Pre-Wedding**
-Meeting: We are couple who loves music
and can spend hours in the dance floor.
Music was a BIG key to our reception.
After attending a few weddings with
unfortunate bad DJ/MC’s, we vowed that
we did not want to be part of those
wedding horror stories. So, the hunt
to find the perfect DJ/MC began. At
our first meeting with James, we instantly
knew he was indeed the best DJ/MC for
our wedding. We were impressed with
his presentation. It was knowledgeable,
professional, yet very friendly. We
liked that he was able to provide audio
and visual samples. When we shared our
vision for the reception, James listened
and was able to provide feedback on
how he can make it happen. We wanted
to book him on the spot, but to be safe
we decided to interview more DJ/MC’s.
After several meetings with various
DJ’s, James remained our number once
choice.
-Communication: Throughout our whole
wedding planning process James was always
a pleasure to work with. Every time
we or our coordinator emailed James,
he always provided a prompt detailed
response and was accommodating to our
requests.
**Wedding Day**
-MC services: The reception flowed smoothly
thanks to James and my coordinator,
Kristeen. He made sure all of our important
reception highlights (cake, garter toss
&etc..) were completed before my photographer
left. He was a personable MC and my
guests were entertained all night.
-DJ services: My main request for the
reception was to keep the dance floor
packed all night. James definitely delivered.
He did NOT disappoint! The dance floor
was busy all night. Per our request
he played lots of Latin, hip-hop and
top 40's music. He played EVERY song/artist
on our playlist--literally EVERY song
on our list. We were pleasantly surprised!!
Also James was able to accommodate our
guest's song request. If he didn’t have
a song in his music library, he instantly
downloaded it and it was playing at
our reception in matter of seconds!
**Post-Wedding**
Weeks after our wedding, guests are
still commenting how great James was.
Everyone was impressed with his MC and
DJing services. We cannot rave enough
how great James is. We’re hoping we
get to host another huge party, just
so we can book James!!"

"I
used All the Above Events for my wedding
and could not have been happier with
them. From the moment I met James, he
was friendly and easygoing. He played
exactly the songs I asked him to (and
not), and kept the people entertained,
even though it was a varied group of
friends and family members. He made
the announcements I asked him to, played
the games I requested, and didn't hesitate
to check in with me when he had questions.
I was confident that the night would
go smoothly and it did. Afterwards,
several people mentioned to me that
they liked our DJ & music. I highly
recommend them and would hire them all
over again if I had to. Thanks for everything
- you were a big part in making our
night truly special and unforgettable!"

"Thank
you so much for keeping my guest up
and dancing the whole night! We knew
that James was going to be our Dj as
soon as he showed us his timeline and
explained to us how the night was going
to be. He is so organized and always
answered any questions we had. MC Alfonso
was great with the guest especially
because I needed a bilingual MC. Everything
went great! Thanx!!!!"

"When
meeting vendors for my wedding, I was
always a bit hesitant and always had
my guard up, waiting for that "catch"
of why I need to pay more for something
I don't need. This did not happen with
James, he answered all my questions
before I could even ask them and his
attention to detail is awesome!
He was very accomodating and super responsive
to any and all emails/phone calls (even
when he was on vacation). All of the
music for the ceremony was perfectly
on cue down to the specific seconds
of the song we wanted. In addition to
that he also took care of our lighting
and GOBO at the reception which turned
out GREAT! He used battery operated
LED lights that lasted all night without
all the ugly wires in the way.
I was thoroughly impressed with his
MC abilities as well, he has a great
personality and really got the crowd
going and knew what songs to play to
set the mood, he was not cheesy or overly
done, it was just smooth. During our
speeches he made sure everyone knew
they were coming up next so they could
be ready and even had a glass of champagne
ready for them to toast with. I felt
like I never had to remind him of anything
because he was already prepared for
it. He kept the flow of the night continous
and everything seemed flawless (at least
from my point of view).
I would highly recommend James and all
his services to anyone out there looking
for an honest, affordable, and reliable
DJ/MC/Lighting & MORE all in one."

"James was our
DJ, MC, and provided LED lighting for
our reception hall. All these services
and his price was still less than other
DJs I had looked into. James was also
willing to travel to the location of
our wedding. James played the songs
we wanted and kept the dance floor going.
We could not have asked for a better
DJ. James was also a big hit among the
girls at our wedding."

"**PRE-WEDDING**
We met James at a bridal show in Pasadena; his sincere, straight-forward and friendly attitude caught my attention right away. When we walked up to him and inquired regarding different packages, not only did he explain to us in detail about what he can do for us, he also gave us absolutely NO pressure to book with him on the spot. We felt very comfortable as we get to know what he offers - after my fiancée and I talked to him for about 15 minutes, we had a very good feeling about him and did not want to look further. I've looked EVERYWHERE for months and just couldn't find someone we are comfortable with (both personality and pricing), so after I heard James answering all the questions my fiancée had, I knew he was the one!! James was well-prepared at the bridal show so we were able to see/understand exactly what he is going to do for us as a DJ - and most importantly, his packages do not have hidden fees!! What you see is exactly what you get!
**CONSULTATION/MEETINGS**
James is very accommodating when it comes to communication. We live in OC and he is all the way in LA. He is always willing to meet us in the middle, not to mention, he's very flexible in terms of meeting times as long as you work it out with him in advance. :) We had one face-to-face meeting to go over most details - James spent almost 2 hours explaining all possible options we can consider. We appreciate his patience very very much. Also, he spent another hour or so on the phone with us a week before the wedding to finalize all the timeline details, etc. Overall, James is extremely responsive (email and phone) and very easy-going. He can work with pretty much anything you request. :) James helped us edit a song for our duet performance, and also edited our first-dance-song to our needs.
**DAY OF WEDDING**
As we expected, James came prepared - he knows our timeline very well and was able to improvise or accommodate depending on new requests/needs from us. We certainly appreciate his flexibility because there are things that we weren't able to provide him ahead of time, and he managed to handle everything perfectly. Everyone had so much fun and loved everything he played. We were very satisfied with the fact that there was no excessive talking which usually annoys guests. ;) James did everything we asked for including making necessary announcements effectively. He was a great help during reception because our guests knew exactly what was going on.
Everyone was telling me how great he was!! I am very happy that we made the right choice! :) Thank you SO MUCH James. We had a beautiful and fun wedding because of you!!
