“John was amazing for our wedding. At the end of the ceremony, without skipping a beat, he started playing and set a great tone for the evening. He had an excellent range of songs and worked with myself and the MC to make sure everything went smoothly. I would recommend John to others.”

Kind words from couples
John Veloso was incredible. He had a knack for picking the perfect song for each moment and read the room amazingly while DJing. He set the perfect tone for a perfect day. Thank you for making our day what it was. Love, Steele and Emma.
Steele James
John sang at our wedding last weekend and also DJed later in the night. He was fantastic! Highly recommend his skills for any wedding.
Alana Nilsson
John played at our surprise wedding and was amazing! The crowd loved him and so did we. His communication in the lead up was fantastic, and he helped hugely when we were live streaming to my family in London so they could hear my dad’s speech. You’re a true legend, John, and have the most beautiful soul.
