Without question, I give Stephan (DJ Illusion) 5 stars across the board. Stephan was a pleasure to work with from the very first quote request and inquiry. His response and initial quote was prompt and thorough. Our needs were very specific as we needed his service for an after party following a very nice wedding. Our guests, including the bridal party, would still be dressed up and many traveled in from across the country so it was important that this party was top notch. Not only did Stephan deliver during the event with professionalism and fun, he kept the party going until 2am. Just about every guest was singing or participating in karaoke. In addition, because our needs were very specific, Stephan coordinated directly with the General Manager of the venue on needed equipment and made the entire experience seamless. The last thing we needed to worry about on the day of the wedding was ensuring that he could set up and/or would need guidance during the event. He just handled it and delivered beyond my expectations. I don't think I had to engage him at all until I had to ask him to stay another 30 minutes to close out the night. I would not hesitate to use Stephan again and recommend him highly for value, ease of coordination, preparation, responsiveness, adaptation to our needs and wants, professionalism and punctuality. Great service!!!!
Seattle’s DJ Illusion sends the grad off with the party they earned. We bring live, club-style mixing, professional sound, and dance-floor lighting that turns a backyard or banquet hall into a club, with clean song edits so the music works for the whole guest list, from classmates to grandparents. The grad can send a playlist ahead of time, and guests request songs from their phones during the party, so the floor stays packed all night.
