• Joe is an excellent musician whose talent added the perfect touch to our wedding reception. I couldn't have been happier with his performance and personality. He is very friendly and open to suggestions or requests. I would highly recommend him to anybody. -- Kristi H, Raleigh, NC, 5/30/2009
• Fantastic performance. Just what we asked for: low key, beautiful music. Very professional. Showed up on time, prepared, appropriately dressed. (despite the 100 degree heat and the fact that we were hours away) Accommodated us when we moved to a different room mid-set. Took requests without being smarmy or taking the lime light away from the wedding party. Joe is about as far away from the honky-tonk badonkadonk/hey makarana/humpty-dance/MC-Gasta type stuff I’ve witnessed DJ’s do at other weddings, and for the same price (or better). Highly recommended if you want your event to be elegant or romantic. -- Richard G, Fayetteville, NC, 6/24/2008
• Joe really made our event a dream! Everyone loved the music and he kept all entertained. -- Rebecca L, Aiken, SC, 11/10/2007
• His performance was flawless. Everyone who attended our party wanted to know who he was and many expressed an interest in using him in the future. -- Kristen W, Charlotte, NC, 2/3/2007
• He arrived early and began playing on time. His selections were wide and varied. He is very talented and was most accommadating with playing our requests. -- Pam L, Durham, NC, 10/14/2005
