I hired Stephan for my daughter's quinceañera event. He was very responsive throughout the process and worked with me on getting the program and the right songs. He has an exceptional equipment; sound, lights, etc. he was great with song selections and met all the request from young to old folks. I will definitely will hire him again, highly recommend his services!
Seattle’s DJ Illusion makes a birthday the night everyone remembers, whether it’s a Sweet 16, a quinceañera, a bar or bat mitzvah, a 30th, or another milestone celebration. Your DJ is also your MC, handling the entrance, the cake, the toast, and the shout-out, so the family gets to be in the room instead of managing it. Music is mixed live, so the night flows instead of stopping between songs, and clean edits keep it comfortable for every age at the party. The guest of honor sends a playlist ahead of time and guests request songs from their phones during the party, so the floor stays full.
