DJ Krucial was seriously amazing for my wedding. He was so supportive during these Covid times - he definitely went above and beyond. His communication was awesome. He was so fun and knew how to get the party started. Would highly recommend.

DJ Krucial K was the best!! He did such a good job at setting the tone for our wedding. I asked him to play some specific songs but also use his discretion based on his read of the guests/vibe of our wedding and he did a perfect job of that. Our wedding was a few weeks ago and we still have guests telling us how much they loved our DJ and the music.
DJ Krucial K also helped us along the way with making announcements for our guests to ensure everything was running smoothly. Leading up to the wedding, DJ Krucial K had a "questionnaire" for us to fill out beforehand which was super organized for

Amazing DJ. We had 50 people with significant variety in age and culture. He managed to get every single person on the dancefloor. When we were planning our wedding, friends told us that we don't need a DJ and "you can just use your Spotify account." I'm glad I didn't listen to them and that we got Kalani onboard. If it wasn't for him I don't think our wedding would have been as fun as it was. Thanks again Kalani!

We were blown away by our experience with Team DJ Krucial K, who was recommended to us by our family members!! Our 30-person wedding was in July 2021 at Okanagan Golf Club in Kelowna.
Francine's turn around time for her communications is top notch. She will respond any time of day, and was very helpful answering all the questions we had, no matter how simple or odd. They also assisted us with our wedding day timeline by providing sample timelines, and provided us with a list of DJ's top hits when we had trouble deciding on what songs to use throughout the evening. We were so pleased to hear DJ

I recently officiated a wedding where Kalani was the DJ. I knew already of his great reputation, but had not had the pleasure of working with him until now. He is truly a well rounded DJ with a great positive attitude, very friendly, and really on top of his game with his music, his timing, his alertness. Highly recommended! I am definitely looking forward to working with him more in the years to come.

Wow!!! DJ Krucial K made our wedding!! People are still talking about how fun the night was months after. He had the dance floor packed from the first song until the very last. Not once did we have that awkward empty dance floor situation. He was so engaging, fun and really cared about us as a couple. He wanted to ensure we were beyond happy and so were our guests. Despite having to provide audio in 3 separate locations from ceremony, cocktail and reception (Which all occurred back to back) he didnt miss a beat. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend Kalani for any event! Thanks for making

Kalani was the DJ for our wedding (Ceremony at Summerhill Pyramid Winery and reception at the Laurel Packing House) and he did a phenomenal job! All age groups were dancing the whole time, he was very personable and professional with the guest and us. People afterwords were commenting on how well he did at incorporating song suggestions in a timely manor. It couldn't have been any better. I highly recommend him!
