The Man on the 1's & 2's
Thank you for stopping by — I’m Chris Johnston.
I’m an award winning wedding and luxury event DJ, dedicated to reimagining what a celebration can be. With deep roots in high end nightlife and private events, I bring an elevated approach to wedding entertainment – where premium sound, style, and energy come together to create an unforgettable atmosphere.
My approach is intentionally different – I believe your wedding should feel elevated! True luxury in celebration lies not just in a carefully curated playlist, but in the art of seamless, sophisticated mixing, selecting and blending the perfect track at precisely the right moment. Weddings demand a nuanced approach, harmonizing diverse musical genres across cultural and generational spectrums with grace and finesse. This is achieved through the mastery of live, on-the-fly mixing, delivering an elevated experience that keeps guests engaged and the atmosphere refined.
I invite you to experience my signature mixes. Immerse yourself in the sound and discover how I transform an event into your Once in Lifetime Celebration!

Oh man where do we start! First off if you don’t hire Chris as your DJ you are doing it WRONG. He is absolutely AMAZING. We first met Chris at one of our friends weddings 4 years ago and I remember my now husband turning to me and saying “when we get married he will be our DJ” sure enough 4 years later he was our DJ and it was one of the best decisions we made. Chris has done majority of our friends weddings and every time he absolutely crushes it up there. Our one request for Chris was we wanted people to basically never leave the dance floor. I can’t even count how many times someone has mentioned our dance floor at our wedding. It was PACKED all night long, it was everything we wanted and could’ve asked for. He truly made our wedding a night that my husband and I and our guests will never ever forget. We would recommend him a million times to absolutely every single person.

My husband and I could not be more thrilled that we chose DJ Chris as our wedding music vendor. I wish anyone reading this review could have been a fly on the wall for our dance floor – the energy was off the charts and the guests did not want to leave the dance floor because of Chris’s amazing mixing and music choices!! He was extremely organized with his planning in the months leading before the wedding and found a way to hit all of our music tastes – from the oldies to EDM to hip hop – he can do it all! Chris also surprised us with an incredible video screen booth that featured photos of my husband and I and a quote from our first dance song. Chris literally thinks of it all!!! I cannot recommend him enough, we are so grateful he made our reception be even more amazing than we ever imagined!!!!!

If you are thinking about hiring Chris to DJ your wedding/event, DO IT! He was so amazing from the second we hired him. Chris created the perfect combination of music for all generations to enjoy and dance to. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and never cleared once. Additionally, his photo booth & cold sparks were a huge hit! Friends and family have not stopped talking about the music at our wedding all thanks to him!

Chris is THAT GUY. His communication leading up to the wedding was incredible & created custom edits for our first dance and last song of the night. Fast forward to the craziest dance floor I’ve ever been on, hit after hit flowed flawlessly into the next. We had guests ranging from a great aunt & our friends saying “I couldn’t leave because even if I didn’t know a song and started walking off the dance floor I immediately got drawn back on because I knew the next”!

I wish there was a way to give Chris 5 million stars because that’s what he deserves! Chris was BEYONDDDD amazing and literally gave my husband and I the BEST wedding ever! We had so many people reaching out to us after saying he was the best DJ they’ve ever seen! When planning, we wanted all of our guests to be dancing all night, and let me tell you… every single person was on that dance floor ALL NIGHT! He played the exact music we wanted, and was amazing at reading the crowd. Our dance floor was so packed that people were spilling into the tables and still dancing! Chris was also the sweetest human to work with! He was very chill and he felt like one of our friends. If you want the ABSOLUTE BEST DJ who will keep your crowd going for HOURS, Chris is your guy!!!!! My husband and I both said we are going to miss working with him because he was so much fun! Thank you so much Chris for making our night the most amazing night of our lives!

So happy to have gone with Chris as our wedding DJ. I do not have enough great things to say about him and his team. I told him we wanted our reception to feel like a big party and he DELIVERED! We had a packed dance floor the whole night and everyone had such a good time. Multiple guests have told us that they have never seen so many people on the dancefloor at a wedding. When going through our reception video clips, you can hear me say multiple times, “he gets my vibe” and he really does. He made sure to talk to us prior to our wedding to get to really know us and know what we wanted out of our night and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Chris to anyone who asks us and cannot thank him enough! I cannot wait to go to weddings where he is DJing in the future!
