Jan and the DJ4You team were fantastic to deal with. We requested Vito for our wedding night and he did not disappoint. His music selection was on point, playing a mix of old bangers and new music to keep everyone engaged and dancing the whole night. Seriously, the whole floor was filled all night. My wife and I can’t praise Vito enough, he was always kind and personal and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was looked after. And the organisation side of things was made really easy by Jan, highly recommend. If you’re looking for a DJ for your wedding night, look no further.

We could not recommend Vito enough! We went through DJ4You and after reading the amazing reviews Vito had we decided to personally ask for him to be our wedding Dj. My husband has a background of mixing so it was important for us to have someone that was experienced in the industry and didn’t just press a button to play the next song and Vito definitely exceeded our expectations. From the first time he reached out to us 2 weeks before our wedding we instantly knew we chose the right person, Vito was extremely professional and knowledgeable and gave us some ideas and opinions to make sure not only us as the couple but all our guests could enjoy the music throughout the day. The biggest compliment we got from our guests was the music that played during cocktail hour which Vito chose to play liquid drum and bass thus creating a fun and vibey environment for everyone while they socialised. During the dance floor Vito played banger after banger and smoothly transitioned each song into the next. The music was super important to us and Vito executed it flawlessly and we were so happy with everything.

Our experience with DJ4You has been absolutely brilliant! When we were looking for a DJ service for our wedding, we wanted to make sure that we booked a DJ who was friendly, personable, and had a great playlist! We got so much more with our DJ Vito!! The process to connect with Vito was a really straightforward and clearly laid out process. The managing director at DJ4You was extremely helpful and communicative, ensuring that he had a full understanding of what we were looking for, the specific details of our day, and providing us with clear instructions around payment and documentation. When we were connected with Vito, it was obvious that we were in good hands! We were able to meet with him on a couple of occasions before the big day, to make sure that our personalities matched, he understood the vibe we were looking for, and he had a good idea of the type of music we wanted! He was great at outlining the day and his services, and put us at ease regarding the dance floor and the overall vibe of the evening. We decided to go with him for MC services, and that was incredible! Not only did he ensure that everyone was having a good time on the dance floor, and the background music throughout the day was perfect, he kept the day running so smoothly! He was approachable and friendly with introductions and keeping the party going, he was so lovely when introducing the speeches, and just great with ensuring each stage of the day progressed so nicely! We really couldn’t have asked for a better DJ & MC! And the music! He nailed it!! The venue got very warm in the evening, and he had put us at ease about how guests will flow in and out of the venue between dancing and getting some fresh air; but honestly, we had so many people returning to the dance floor, just because of the constant list of bangers he was playing. He listened to us, and adjusted the playlist to match the guests! So so happy with the entire experience! Would most definitely recommend to anyone looking for a DJ service for their big events! 10/10!!

DJ4You were so great to deal with for our marquee wedding. They were professional and friendly and had very prompt responses. Vito who was our DJ was so lovely, accomodating, and made it a personalised experience for us.
Everything went to so well on the night, would definitely recommend them for any event if you want peace of mind and friendly service!

We had Vito as our DJ for our work awards, and what a night of memory making it was. Vito was superb in his ability to get the crowd up and burning rubber on the dance floor. He was engaged with the audience and took real pleasure in keeping the music requests flowing. In addition to the dance floor he also provided audio throughout the evening and worked seamlessly with the AV crew at the convention centre. His energy and enthusiasm for creating a good vibe was infectious and he was instrumental in transitioning the night from “awards” vibe to “party hard” seamlessly. Thanks Vito, for the greatest evening.

Vito is an amazing asset to your company. Words can’t describe how easy he was to get along with it was like we had known each for a long time. He really knows how to get people up on the dance floor from all different age ranges to the point people the next day were saying they had sore feet from dance. Nothing was a problem for him before the wedding and during the wedding. He made our day just that more special. I know we and alot of people at the wedding will recommend dj 4 you and Vito to play for them. I will be sure to leave reviews wherever I can for you. So thank you again for such an amazing service you guys provided.

We had an amazing night with the playlist we gave the DJ and he knew which ones to leave until the dancing started, when the volume was turned up and everybody, and I mean everybody danced the night away, not even ending when the time was up, only when people had all but left. He also seamlessly incorporated the 4 performance numbers we had which had to be found as they weren’t standard songs. Everybody said it was a magic party and the music just sensational. Thanks Jan & the team for an amazing DJ for our combined 60th birthday! – Vic Bettencor
My wife and I were married in November and had the pleasure of having Vito provide the sounds for our reception. Vito showed up on time, set up quickly and provided the exact vibe that we had asked for. Vito had a great professional set up that really added to our venue and decoration.
Highly recommend

We had the most PERFECT wedding day with DJ4you, and our DJ (Vito) was outstanding. We would like to thank you and your company for making our day so special and everything running seamlessly. Many of our friends are yet to get married and you will certainly be who we are recommending. Many people commented on the fantastic playlists/music and most people stayed on the dance floor the entire night!! – Cushla Jackson
DJ Vito for our North Canterbury wedding. Absolutely killed it!! What a night! Everyone couldn’t stop dancing, just played banger after banger all night! We completely left the playlist up to the Vito, he was so professional and took the time to meet myself and husband, get to know us and learn where we were from, what we liked and didn’t like. Sound system was great. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Vito, once again thank you so much ya legend! – Anna Hamilton
Hi Jan!
And just like that our day is done! We honestly couldn’t have done it without wonderful Vito! He was a bloody legend from dealing with slightly damp conditions at our ceremony to some crazy requests be on the dance floor he was just awesome! Everything was so professional and sounded unreal! We danced right up until he left and even when he was packing up kept the music playing for us which was great! Thank you for such an easy and fun process of wedding planning! Even when we changed our first dance song about a week before nothing was an issue! We could definitely highly recommend to all!

Vito was amazing at our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! The set up was seamless and so many of our guests commented on the great music.He even added some songs into the playlist we provided that had been mentioned in the speeches. Completely nailed the brief and would recommend him to everyone!

I have now worked with Vito twice, as a DJ with DJ4You. Most recently as a very last minute call up as the DJ our client had booked became unwell the day prior. In both occasions Vito (and Jan) had excellent communication , turned up on time, came with the correct, high quality equipment and cued all the chosen songs rights on time. Most importantly though, Vito is a wonderful person and DJ who knows how to read a crowd, plays the best music and keeps the dance floor packed. Vito – if you try and retire, I’m starting a petition! 🙂

Vito was a BOSS! Stuck to our playlist but added his own flare in amongst! The music at our wedding was a huge part of our day and we were absolutely thrilled with the service from DJ4You! Can’t recommend enough and shoutout to Vito for delivering the best service we could’ve asked for! Even have us samples he had mixed for our bridal party entrance, above and beyond service! Made the day that much better having reliable and relaxed vendors❤️

We were delighted with the way this DJ noticed the reference to a particular song in our speech at our younger son’s wedding on 02/12/22 and played it very soon after. That was so unexpected but we were impressed with his thoughtfulness. People responded enthusiastically when their requests came up and even some usually reluctant dancers were up enjoying the music.

DJ Vito was an incredible asset at our wedding! Every cue was perfect, he was incredibly flexible swapping speakers around with the weather and we have had so many compliments from our guests. Two dance floors going off all night! Nothing but the highest praise, thank you for your stellar work.

We had Vito DJ our wedding, and we honestly could not have asked for a better DJ. He was amazing at reading the room and putting on the best songs – mixing it up with new and old bangers. We couldn’t recommend Vito enough, from the great communication prior to the wedding to his kind manner on the day. If you want to fill a dance floor, Vito is the guy to do it!

We had Vito form DJ4YOU for our wedding In February 2023. He was fanatic. Read the room perfectly and kept the dancefloor going. It was banger after banger!. Highly recommend, worth every cent

Couldn’t recommend more 🙂 The team were so helpful and easy to work with! I would definitely book again if the need for a DJ arises. The photo booth went down a hit with out guests and the DJ provided the perfect environment for our wedding reception. Our DJ Vito was amazing he asked relevant questions about our preferences before the event and was able to perfectly set the mood for what we wanted for our wedding reception. Massive thank you to the team and Vito!

Vito did such an incredible job for our wedding. We felt he was amazing at reading the room and tailoring music to suit. Both caters and guests all commented on this being on of the best DJs they had seen at a wedding. Could recommend enough.

My experience dealing with DJ4you was all positive leading up to my event, they made everything very easy and stressfree.
Our DJ Vito made contact prior to the event to make sure he had all the correct information and double checked to make sure if there was anything else we needed to make our night perfect! Then on the night Vito did such an amazing job, he went over and above with the set up, had zero issues when my guests wanted song requests played, and played all the hits I requested! 100% recommended DJ4you and Vito

We were so pleased with everything on the day of our wedding – DJ Vito was a fabulous DJ and very kind when it came to accommodating requests and all our guests had a wonderful time. I also really appreciated the hard work put in to figure out our vibe and playlist requests ahead of time – he came across as really organised and obliging throughout the whole process! Thanks so much Vito!
