Lou did such an amazing job at our wedding! We were able to send him songs that we liked and explained the vibes we were looking for and he curated the best playlist! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ - the dance floor was packed all night long! Lou was very responsive, professional, and did the best job. If you're looking for a DJ for an event and/or wedding, I highly recommend using Lou (My First Choice DJ)!!

I had the pleasure of hiring DJ Luo from My First Choice DJ for our organization's 25th-anniversary celebration, and I couldn't be more impressed! DJ Luo is a phenomenal MC who knows how to read the crowd and keep the party going from start to finish. The professionalism and energy he brought to the event were unmatched. The sound system was crystal clear and perfectly balanced, ensuring everyone had a great experience. Beyond that, he was incredibly easy to work with, accommodating all our needs and requests with a smile. If you're looking for someone who can bring a professional and dynamic vibe to your event, My First Choice DJ and DJ Luo are the way to go. Highly recommend!

We hired Lou from My First Choice DJ for our wedding, and he absolutely exceeded our expectations! I've known Lou for many years, so I knew he was going to deliver, but he went above and beyond. From start to finish, he was incredibly organized and clear, and made sure every detail was covered. He stuck to our requests without any deviation, which meant everything to us. Lou’s professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process seamless, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music. Highly recommend him for any event—he truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Lou is the man! He knows how to work a crowd and can absolutely match whatever vibe you’re aiming for. The dance floor at our wedding wasn’t big enough for our guests that came out to dance, thanks to Lou. Absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

He was GREAT!! The music you choose for your ceremony is very particular and intimate and Lou nailed it. At the reception, he got everyone super hyped for the Grand March Everyone was on the dance floor dancing all night. He knew which music to play and when and had great energy all night. I changed my mind a few times throughout the wedding planning process and he was patient and understanding through all my crazy.

AND he made a custom remix for my dad and I to dance to for our father daughter dance. It was PERFECT and everyone’s still talking about it!
