"C.J. is amazing! He was so helpful throughout our planning process and gave us all of the tools we needed for our day to be perfect. We had so much fun with him DJing our wedding, and he was able to keep the energy high, and was even able to get my 78 year old grandma to boogie on the dance floor. He is super caring and accepting, and we can tell he genuinely cares about making your big day perfect. Can't recommend enough!"

Silent Disco At West View Elementary

"C.J. DJ'd for our elementary school's Sweetheart Dance. He was fantastic to work with in the planning process, and did an amazing job keeping everyone dancing and having a good time during the event. He also helped plan a silent disco for another school event. While he wasn't available to DJ it himself, he connected us with another DJ and did all of the set up / tear down / planning work himself. Again he was excellent to work with and we can't wait to use him again!"

"C.J. was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. His work was top notch - he truly delivered pure quality entertainment that kept our guests dancing all night long. And the Photo Booth was a hit with our guests! We can't recommend Party It Up Pittsburgh highly enough to any couple planning their wedding."

Ilana and Brian's Wedding Reception 2024

"C.J. knew exactly what to ask us, and researched our songs to find the best version. He even set up an extra speaker during our cocktail hour. We hoped our dance floor crowd might have some of the older folks, so we requested Motown, and when C.J. saw it was just younger friends, he dropped in some 2005-era hip-hop and punk rock and got it really bumping. We all had a blast!"

"We didn't realize how much we were overlooking until going through C.J’s detailed rundown template. He's extremely smart, professional, thorough, transparent and kind. He cleverly weaved humor into our announcements throughout the night. If you're looking for a trustworthy DJ who is also fun to work with, then look no further - C.J. is absolutely your guy!"

"We hired C.J. to DJ my daughter's reception party. What an amazing DJ, and not only that, a great person! He played every request we asked, and was very entertaining. Everyone enjoyed the music and his sense of humor! If you are looking for a DJ… C.J. is the man to call!! I rate him 10 out of 10! I would definitely hire him again!!"

"CJ made my role as Gala Chair so much easier. Gave him the agenda and he rolled with it. I had so many compliments about him. He was the perfect blend of getting the crowd involved, pushing them to bid on items, and playing music. The music mix was always on spot. I highly highly highly recommend!"
