Jono, thanks for an awesome night! I don't think there was one person who didn't get up for a dance at some stage of the night! Everyone had a great time, your playlist was spot on and the 'theme' music set the mood well. Thanks for taking all the stress and worry out of my night. The time you took before the event to understand what we wanted paid off. Thanks again! Louise Hall Birthday The Refreshment Room Titirangi

 

Hi Dan and Jono

We just want to say a massive thank you to Dan for being an outstanding DJ at our wedding two weeks ago (in Cambridge). Dan, you did an amazing job of sensing the mood and pitching the music perfectly. I remember during dinner saying to Richie how awesome the music was -- it was upbeat and energising without being intrusive, which is exactly what we'd hoped for. Then there was the dancing! We had so many guests comment on how awesome the DJ was, which I'm sure you could tel as everyone wanted to keep (break)dancing! Thank you for playing one 'encore' song (blimmin peer pressure!). I have great memories of my bridesmaid reenacting the Dirty Dancing lift! Your DJing had a huge influence on how fun the evening was; we are so glad you were a part of our day.We will be sure to recommend you to friends and family. 

With many thanks,  Helen and Richie. Wedding Sarina Park Cambride March 2014

We had an awesome day and you really contributed to making in so wonderful. Would highly recommened you guys to anyone else. If you need ever need a testimonial we would be more than happy to offer one up. Many thanks again.Vanessa & Iain Wedding Remuera Golf Course March 2014

 

This guy is such a dude. Really brides, if your looking for a DJ, Jono is awesome. We had a few emails back and forth and a phone conversation and thats all! And he got it bang on! We were a little wedding with a pretty varied mix but he completely captured our style with cool summer beats! He took requests, cranked it when it needed cranking and toned it down when everyone was chilling. I think the funniest part for me was all the people coming up to me and saying we hear theres a blacklist of banned songs (true) but it was just too funny! But I also had people coming up to me all night and saying I love this song, and they love the music. And I loved every song!!!!!!!! Total professional and played to the very end!!!! He also jumped in and did a little MCing as needed as we didn't have an MC. Great guy! Danella Jade Wedding Castaways April 2014

 

 

Hey Dan,Thank you SO much for making our day and night so perfect. Everyone was loving the music and commented on how awesome it was. It is definitely why JT and I stuck around until the end haha! JT was particularly stoked when he was able to have a go on your decks. You guys have been so easy to deal with and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you. Thank you for making our wedding AMAZING, we are still buzzing!!!

Take care, Nikki and JT Wedding Salt Bar Whitianga April 2014

Jonathan was DJ at our wedding recently and was absolutely fantastic. Not only was he a fabulous DJ but out of everyone we spoke to during the wedding process, Jonathan had the best advice for a couple about to get married. Guests all commented on how approachable he was and how accomodating he was to music requests. Thank you so much for a truly unforgettable day.

Thanks you so much for your help on our special, you were amazing. You made everything run so smoothly, thanks Madeline Renal 

 

Jono and the team at Turnitup could not have been easier to deal with. From the first enquiry email I sent for our work mid-winter party to the end of the event Jono was helpful, enthusiastic and extremely professional. He took care of all the equipment, providing high quality sound gear and a great lighting set up. He also provided a wireless microphone for our entertainer at no extra charge. We have a big mix of people in the company so the variety of songs he has was greatly appreciated and we loved how after setting up all the gear, he got changed into his suit before the guests arrived for that extra professional appearance! It was a pleasant surprise too to find that even with all of the things included in the package, Turnitup was the best priced option available. I would definitely recommend Turnitup to anyone looking for a fun, hassle free experience and we are looking forward to working with Jono for our end of year Christmas party!” – Andrew Gilbert Paymark, Corporate Function Swashbucklers June 2013

 

"Hi Jono, Just a really quick one to say thank you so much for the WONDERFUL job you did yesterday! It really was the best day ever and the music was exactly what we needed! I had so many comments on how great the atmosphere was and how much people liked the music. It was perfect.So glad we managed to find you before our big day. We'll be recommending you to everyone! Thanks again! You were awesome. Anna and Ben

 

Thanks for being a part of our day. Music is a very important part of anyone’s wedding or event, as it carry's the emotion of the day and correct song selection at the right time is critical. You nailed it mate. The number 1 comment that I have had from all friends and family, young and old, was how good the music was followed closely by how cool the venue was. Your ability to keep everyone on the dance-floor for the whole night is a huge asset, which money can't buy. So a big pat on the back to yourself. Hopefully we will see you again at some of our friend’s weddings in the future! Steve and Jemma Wedding Pembilton Christchurch January 2013

 

 

I am writing to Thank You very much for the wonderful job you did for Rob and Rowena's wedding on the 12 December. At this stage I have only had a really quick look at the video that was taken of the day. Your timing of the important songs/music to be played at particular times throughout the day, was spot on and you covered a good selection of music for the rest of the day/evening as well. Great job all round is all I can say.Our dealings with you were very professional from start to finish and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone in the future. Once again, Thank you so much and we wish you and your families, a Very Happy Christmas and all the best for 2013. Kind regards Lyn Wedding Maraitai Boat Club December 2012

 Thanks for a great night for my Dad's 70th birthday - Country and Western theme and not sure how the music was going to be as it's not a main stream music theme, but we were thrilled with the music selection which appealed to all there. You were really easy and friendly to work with and very professional in your set up and you helped make this celebration for my father really wonderful thank you from all of our family.

Alli Prattposted to‎Turn It Up Dj'sJuly 4, 2013 near AucklandJust wanted to say a huge thanks to Jono, sorry its taken a couple of weeks to put up a review from my bro's wedding, taken a few weeks to recover...it was a truly epic occasion! You were absolutely awesome and seriously helpful in every way... 10hrs of music.... you stayed till no-one could stand and the feedback was unreal, people that haven't danced for years were taking to the floor, I don't think could help themselves you really know how to cater for the crowd. I definitely recommend you for any special occasion.... thanks for being a part of making Greg Pratt andCrystal Pratt's day as perfect as it was...www.facebook.com/turnitup.co.nz ...

Just to want to say a big massive THANK YOU to DJ Dan for Saturday, it's every girl's dream to make sure their wedding is perfect, well it rained when I walked down the aisle which caused a few set backs for our programme but Dan had it down packed and wouldn't let that get the better of him. He had everything that we wanted and was just awesome! (even tried to get him to come clubbing afterwards lol), thank you sooooo much, you are definitely on our speed dial for functions now! Turn It Up Djs, you rock!

 

Thanks Dan for the awesome night on Saturday. Everyone really enjoyed the music. You guys were a pleasure to deal with, so professional and accommodating. Thanks to Jono for your great organisation. We will definitely recommend you to anyone. I know our guests really enjoyed it! Cheers guys, Jade and Emma

 

Massive Thanks Dj Dan for topping the night with the best mixes from start to finish at Rachel and Karl's wedding last night

 

We are hugely greateful for Jono's work as Dj and MC at our wedding.Throughout the entire process, from organisation right through to pack up, Jono was professional, friendly and approachable. He co-ordinated with us, our venue and photographer to not only ensure that there was great music during the day but that the entire event ran smoothly. Jono played alarge role in this, co-ordinating with the venue team so he could provide annoucements when appropriate and introduce speakers. His knowledge of music was up-to-date and he provided great ideas as well as sourcing the less common songs we requested. Our guests commented on his great attitude and well-chosen range of music. Our venue was a long distance but despite this Jono efficiently arranged his travel and sorted access to the high quality equipment he would need. At the end of the night he played the most amazing live version of our first dance song, an awesome surprise, it was the perfect finish to an amazing day. We highly recommend Jono to anyone requiring the servicesof a DJ and MC.Thank you so much and all the best for the future. Sarah and Shannon Malbrough Sounds January 2012

Just wanted to send you a short note to say thanks SO MUCH for the great service you provided at our wedding last weekend!! Before our wedding, my father in law recommended I use a DJ-friend of his (who in my opinion was far too old for the crowd we were having!). So, until the day of the wedding, he had a lot to say about me choosing a DJ by merely contacting someone I found on the internet. Well – Jono you totally won him over! He has had only good things to say about your services, your choice of music and the way in which you kept the guests on the dance floor all night! I also had lots of positive comments from the guests, who thoroughly enjoyed their evening of dancing! I'll definitely be recommending you to our social club at work, for future functions!!Tarin Workworth February 2012"Dj Jono, did a fantastic job at our wedding. Great sounds, great setup and awesome service. He was extremely helpful and easy to work with. Thanks Jono for helping to make it wonderful day" Mark Fisher, Bombay February 2011
