TESTIMONIALS
“Music is Life to my husband and I. We knew that picking a DJ we both loved was very important to us. We were so grateful to have found Zach because he made everything so easy and fun! He was so communicative up until our wedding day and always made us feel like we were taken care of. From the ceremony to the dance party til midnight, Zach delivered epically. Everyone kept telling us at the wedding and days later how amazing the music was. The dance floor was FIRE. I cannot thank the universe enough for bringing us DJ Zach Kerns.

“Zach DJ’d our wedding in New Zealand in April ’23. He had a big part in making our special day absolutely EPIC. It would certainly not have been just as awesome without his skills, professionalism and humour.
We had pretty specific requests for him, many songs were local “kiwi” jams and we expected Zach to not know how to include them in our day, he absolutely exceeded expectations and played all the must-haves so seamlessly that you would have thought he grew up listening to the same kiwi classics as all of our guests. Because of his long travel, we hired a lot of equipment. Zach was right by us the whole time, coordinating and providing knowledge about the equipment needed. Zach, you kept that party going all night, Thank You for being such an important part of wedding!!”
“Zach was the absolute perfect DJ for our wedding. We (and our friends) like house music/new disco, but also cared about having music everyone knew (across generations) so everyone would be up and dancing. Zach totally understood us, and the progression throughout the night was perfect. We got aligned on vibes for different parts of the night (guest arrival, cocktail hour, dinner/speeches, start of party vs mid party vs end of party). He asked really good specific questions to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted (ie do you want this version vs this version; stopping this song at 48 seconds makes more sense that 52 seconds for an intro, etc.). He never made us feel stressed- he perfectly hits the balance of detail oriented and chill. We gave him a lot of base to work with (ie must hear these songs, this is the general vibe for this part of the night, here are a bunch of songs we’d like during cocktail hour but not a full hour worth) and then trusted his judgement to flesh everything out. He absolutely knocked it out of the park. All of our must plays were played, all of our “do not plays” were not played. Our parents were out and dancing all night, which is a tough feat to accomplish when playing music to also keep a younger crowd happy/engaged. There are a few songs that are special to our friend group, and singing/dancing to those at our wedding will forever be core memories. He made it SUCH a memorable party for us and our guests. It’s clear that Zach is an experienced professional- it rained toward the end of cocktail hour and some of his equipment got wet. He needed to do a lot of pivoting in the moment, and guests were never aware of it. He kept the vibes going. Something people kept saying to us was, “I’ve never seen a bride and groom have this much fun at their own wedding.” This had a ton to do with Zach, and we are so thankful we picked him to be there on our special day. 11/10; can’t recommend him enough.”
“DJ Kernsy was hands-down the best part of our wedding (and I’d like to think our wedding was pretty fun all around). He has an uncanny ability to read the crowd and play exactly what everyone wants to hear on the dance floor. My husband, our friends, and I haven’t danced that hard since college. ”
“Of all our vendors, Zach Kerns was the one who got us and what we were going for the most. He was so, so good at listening to our vision of what the wedding would be and translating it into music. He was incredibly easy to work with, so kind, and the music was simply perfect all night long, start to finish. Working with Zach was one of the best choices we made for the wedding. We highly recommend him to any couple looking for great music from a chill, kind DJ.”
“We hired Zach to play at our destination wedding in Marfa, Texas. He was super professional and easy to work with. We were quite specific with the type/mood of music we wanted for each portion of the event, and he did not disappoint. Everyone had so much fun and commented that the music was great. Even my photographer was up on the stage dancing! I would highly recommend him. He is also very easy going and flexible, a MUST for destination weddings!”
“Best.DJ.Ever. Completely rocked my wedding. Couldn’t of asked for a better DJ. My wedding has gone down in the history books of weddings because of DJ Kernsy!!”
“We had a December reception at Dobbin St, Brooklyn and DJ Kernsy (Zach) was amazing!! I think we literally had all 120 guests on the dance floor at some point during the night. Zach was incredibly easy to work with - he knew the venue extremely well and he has a ton of experience DJ’ing and MC’ing these types of events.
Because we had a mix cultural marriage (Indian, Italian, Irish), Zach was able to curate a cocktail, dinner and dancing music program including everything from Indian folk-to-blues-to-90s hip-hop-to-Radiohead. He was also able to easily accommodate a last-minute program change involving me (hubby) to play my wifey her favorite Radiohead song on the guitar accompanied with a singer (guest) and bassist (guest) on the fly with the sound being incredible.
Weeks leading up to the reception, we provided Zach with a small list of genres, songs, artists that would make sense for us and for our diverse crowd throughout the night. He NAILED it and completely extracted from our brains what we wanted the sound to be like including his own creativity. He’s original, creative and allows couples to curate entertainment programs that don’t seem canned like every other reception program.
Zach helped make our evening special, original and that’s all we could have asked for. Folks would be crazy not have DJ Kernsy at the top of their list. Clearly one of the best.”
“Zach was a class act the entire way and I really couldn’t recommend anyone as highly as I do him. Beyond his talent on the decks, you could tell that Zach was just a genuinely cool and kind person.”
Weddings typically run from $1800 - $5000, depending on location, duration of the wedding, equipment requested, and time of year.
