What couples say about DJ Julian Gross
“Julian was a huge hit. He kept the dance floor BUMPIN. We wanted interesting and seamless transitions and he delivered. The mashups were super fun, and he read the room to know when to mix in something for the more traditional attendees. Our guests were super impressed! We would absolutely recommend AWDJ for anyone who doesn't want a lame wedding dance floor!!” - Sarah H on Google
"I had such a great experience with Alternative Wedding DJs! From my initial conversations with them, they took the time to really understand what I was looking for and matched me with a DJ in my area who ended up being exactly the right fit for our wedding.
Since our wedding was at a music venue, having great music and the right DJ was truly one of the most important vendor choices for us! We knew we didn't want the typical "wedding DJ" experience. We wanted someone who was an experienced working DJ outside of weddings too, who could really read a crowd and bring that energy to the night. They connected me with Julian, who I honestly don't think I ever would have found on my own through the usual wedding websites.
The transition to communicating directly with Julian was seamless, pricing felt fair, and everything throughout the process was easy and reliable. Most importantly, they absolutely nailed the match. We got so many compliments on the music, and Julian's mixing skills and seamless transitions between songs really gave the night the feel we were hoping for. Our dance floor stayed going all night!
I would absolutely recommend Alternative Wedding DJs, especially if you're looking for something a little different from the standard wedding DJ experience!” - Natalie Aneskavich on Google
