TKO DJ’s

Great service, great price. They saved the day after a cheap DJ backed out at the last minute.

Marlon was our DJ last night and had everybody up and dancing all night long! He made my daughter’s wedding flow right on schedule while making sure everyone had fun!

Marlon from TKO provided the dj services for our company picnic at Purina Farms. He arrived on time, was pleasant and very easy to work with! The guests enjoyed the music selections he had available. We will use them again if the need arises!

A month before our 2011 wedding, our DJ cancelled on us. As you can imagine, we were freaking the f out. TKO squeezed us in, which we were very grateful for.
Unfortunately, I was not impressed with their services. My husband and I are music enthusiasts, for sure. And we aren’t exactly playing the top 50 on any charts, we like a little more obscure music. So, we sat down for over an hr with them, picking out songs we specifically HAD to have played at the wedding. They didn’t have any of these songs on the date of the wedding. Honestly, «we had a near perfect wedding day» — I always say «…except for the DJ.» I am FULLY aware that everything can’t go perfectly, but if I owned a service-​oriented company, I sure as heck wouldn’t want to be any brides exception to her day being perfect!!!
Our cake cutting song was so important to both of us. We had been trying to decide which of two very special songs to dance to, and ended up wanting the one we didn’t choose for our first dance, for the cake song. Instead, they played some generic song — he said he didn’t have the other one. WTF? Are you serious? In this day and age, with technology what it is, a DJ should have a hot spot on his cell phone and be able to download ANY important song at the drop of a hat. That is a pretty big flub. The technology is there, you need to be using it. Missing something as important as that on a bride’s wedding day is really awful customer service.
Our DJ was a very nice guy and he brought the party, for sure. However, I am still a bit heart broken about the songs that didn’t get played. Careless and inconsiderate. Wouldn’t retain their services again.

The words «Very Professional» and «Organized» are what you want with a DJ. It’s a flaky and flighty market with so many freelance DJs out there with nice business cards, some impressive equipment, and a nice smile… but they are trying to be Deadmau5 or Skrillex, not a real DJ.
We tried TKO on a recommendation, and it was a good one for sure.
We got a professional DJ with a great attitude and a warm dance floor feel. He played our music, and made sure we were good with any odd requests by the guests or unplanned additions. He kept in touch and made us happy.
These guys and gals are top notch and ready to work for you. They did a great job at my wedding, showed up on time, and perfected the mix of blending in and keeping it going. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and I will use them again I’m sure.

We hired TKO for our recent reception. They were great at scheduling the entire evening. They were also very accommodating as far as the music goes by asking us questions like «Is Baby Got Back okay?» (of course!).
We checked the box for an enthusiastic DJ.
We got Longden (Langden?), who was terrific. He wasn’t over-​the-​top, but he wasn’t a stone wall either. They didn’t have all the songs we had listed, but he was intuitive enough to pick songs that were available to him that he thought we would like as well.
During the dancing, he took requests and played songs that kept people dancing. Before the bouquet toss, he told us that he didn’t have the song we requested and asked if we wanted something else played.
As this night was game 3 of the World Series, he kept tab of the Cardinals for the crowd and gave score updates throughout the evening.

So we originally hired TKO DJs for our wedding because the DJ was an old friend of my husband… but then he up and got another job in another city and that was that. That obviously doesn’t affect the rating of TKO, but honestly, I was not hugely impressed by Lance, the DJ who replaced our original guy. He was very nice and kind enough to let my neurotic self give him a detailed list of what we wanted played – accompanied by a CD of songs we didn’t think they’d have… and I know we checked the «NOT over-​the-​top DJ» box when selecting what type of DJ we were interested in, but a *little* personality wouldn’t have killed the guy.
So the wedding reception had good music, but I didn’t think the sound quality was that great – this could have been an acoustics problem with our venue and not the blame of TKO, but Lance could’ve turned up the volume a bit. And been sort of energetic. Maybe smiled a little… Yeah, he was kind of a dud.
Three stars. Maybe 3.5 because they had to contend with a semi-​neurotic bride and *that* they did with finesse…
