During the wedding planning process you learn to treasure people that are both great at what they do and that make things easier on a crazy, crazy day. There's a lot of information to convey here, but I'll try to keep my praise organized. First, the music was tremendous. All of our friends marveled at it throughout and after the event. DJK executed exactly the vibe we wanted, at every phase of the evening. The cocktail hour, the music for which DJK preselected, had all the guests happy and primed for a pretty raucous reception. He somehow had foxtrots and waltzes to keep our parents happy at the very beginning of dancing sets. Having built up the energy gradually through the night, DJK played two hours of a full-tilt dance set at the end - mixed live - that had everyone asking for his business card. One of my friends joked that she was going to get married "so I can have your DJ." Second, the execution was a product of DJK's meticulous preparation. I was extremely picky about the music, and he spent an incredible amount of time with me, just working through possibilities for various parts of the night. He also provided me guidance when I didn't know exactly what to do. For example, I really needed some help in figuring out how to get my Chinese in-laws and their ballroom-dance friends on the dance floor for a Horah. DJK figured out the exact sequence of music - peppered with a little explanation - for doing that. Third, DJK's level of professionalism is extraordinary. He emcees the event, and he knows EXACTLY what he's doing. We had a huge wedding party and didn't know how things were supposed to unfold before talking to DJK. I had thirteen groomsmen; we spent 20 minutes on the phone going over how to pronounce everybody's name. Everyone who spent any time with him remarked how pleasant he was, and how easily he accommodated requests and preferences. If we needed to audible to a plan B, then his only responses were suggestions for how to do it. DJK is a pro's pro.

My husband and I were just married this last weekend, and we can not say enough good things about the level of service that Con provided to our wedding! The music was fantastic, and he went out of his way to accommodate us, even downloading a song at the reception for us to hear! He totally paid attention to the like/ dislike lists that we had sent him in advance; was tasteful in his announcements, and kept the party going. In all if our dealings with him, he was extremely friendly and accommodating. We could not be happier. It truly was one of the best days of our life, and Con helped in making it so. Next party we have, he will totally be getting a call from us! We can not recommend him enough.

DJ Kahn helped us out of a bind, we had to fire our first DJ 2 weeks before the wedding. Not only was he attentive and quick to help and get all details sorted given the time constraint but he was extremely sensitive to our situation and offered to waive some of the financials associated with his contract. The night of the wedding, he followed everything we instructed and we heard all of our "must play" songs and didnt hear any "do not play" songs. Our guests were approaching us all night asking how they could get a playlist of the night's set list. The energy at our wedding was so high and we owe it all to DJ Kahn!

Constantine was the most attentive and on the ball wedding vendor we worked with. He always called me before I had to call him and was a BREEZE to work with. He granted every single request we made and put on a flawless performance. Guests were dancing that I've never seen dance before and my groom and I got down like it was nobodies business. He also played the music at our ceremony, do not hire harpists, use Kahn. I could not be happier with his services, he's not only an amazing DJ but a truly great person.

DJ Kahn made everything easy from the start. He was accommodating and attentive to our pre-wedding requests, including doing extra leg work to find specific songs that matched our requests and descriptions of how we wanted each portion of the evening to go. DJ Kahn provided a full service for our wedding, including ceremony microphones, cocktail hour music, and the full array of dancing and MCing during our reception. He was kind, courteous, personally invested, and attentive to our needs. He handled our large and diverse crowd of guests with politeness and respect while respecting our requests.

My wife and I hired DJ Kahn for our wedding just this past weekend. There isn't one bad thing I could say about him. From our first meeting until we shook hands after the reception we've had a great rapport. He was always well prepared for the meetings and responsive to our requests. Constantine showed up early to our venue on the day of, even though he travelled over 2 hours to get there. Everyone loved the music. He also mic'd up our officiant for the ceremony and he and I worked on placement of the speakers so they would be unobtrusive to photos. I tell you this because it shows you how flexible, considerate and professional he is. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for another event. If DJ Kahn is available for your date, don't hesitate to book him.

Best wedding DJ ever. His mix for the cocktail hour was perfect. I asked for non cliched slow songs but since he knew I liked Hip-Hop he found a ton of old songs that rappers used for samples. It was fun to both enjoy the music and figure out which song used the sample. As for the dancing, he managed to put together such a perfect mix of music that everyone danced for 3 straight hours. It felt more like a dance party than a wedding, which was a good thing. Logistlically, DJ Kahn was great. He was extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. He was responsive even though he was away with his family on holiday the week before the wedding. He called us several times to make sure he had our vision for the wedding music correct. And he was up front when signing the contract, so there were no hidden fees or charges at the end of the night. I'd recommend DJ Kahn for any event. Weddings, dance parties you name it. He's great.

DJ Kahn was absolutely awesome! The entire reception ran extremely smoothly, and everything he played was perfect. Given that we are a relatively young couple that still likes a lot of hip-hop and rap music, I was unsure if that kind of stuff would fly at a wedding. But he far surpassed my expectations, I especially loved the jazz-like, mellow Wu-Tang instrumental he played at cocktail hour - its gotta be hard to play something that both me and my grandmother think sounds really good. And when it came to the dance music, every guest kept feeling like the next song was better than the last, and everyone couldn't get enough of it. This guy is a real pro, and I had numerous guests tell me it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and I give him a lot of the credit.

Well, the wedding was absolutely spectacular. I had the time of my life, even a little too much and I will never forget tearing up the dance floor. Constantine was an amazing DJ. Not even my work buddies and my boss could resist dancing. And when the schedule changed and I wanted to do the speeches earlier he took care of it. When my father wanted to party until 3am, he took care of it. I cannot even tell you how many compliments I have received for Constantine's work. I can tell you that I have been to many weddings and I have never seen the amount of dancing from every person regardless of age, relation to the bride/groom or culture than at my own wedding. The Rabbi told me it was the most epic horah of her life and I'm sure she's seen a few. If you do decide to book with DJ Kahn, I can assure you, you will not regret it.

DJ Kahn otherwise known as Constantine Ptohos was awesome! He was really excited about the music we wanted, he was amazingly organized so that we felt extra comfortable, he knows how to work the crowd and give a little for each generation at the party, he was super friendly to us as well as to the venue and all our friends and family. He also played music at a great volume, it wasn't too loud that the older folks complained, it wasn't too loud that you could hold a conversation, but it was loud enough to really get the party going!! He was great and coming from me who is extremely critical, that means a lot.

It's probably unusal to have the father of the bride to take time to comment, but DJ Kahn was exceptional. From his virst meeting with my daughter to the night of the reception, he maintained contact and was responsive to every request. He searched-out songs on her special request list (father/daughter, mother/son, cake cutting, etc) even finding songs by requested artists that they had never even published. Several guests have commented that they have never been to a wedding where everyone danced so much. The dance floor was full from the first dance to the end of the evening, through-out the meal, between every course. He seemed to sense the mood of the dancers and responded with just the right next song. I am very comfortable in recommending DJ Kahn. You should be comfortable in allowing him to set the pace of your event.

It was unanimous - the wedding was a huge hit with family and friends, young and old - due in large part to the talents of DJ Kahn. We had happy, sweating, dancing guests come up to us with such praise as "best dj EVER, where did you find him?!", "Epic wedding!", and "Can I get a copy of this playlist?!" Even those folks you don't expect to see on the dance floor couldn't help themselves - the truest sign of a successful party! A few weeks later, and people are still talking about what a great time they had, and still inquiring as to our awesome dj. From the very beginning, Constantine (along with 74 Events' Gary Hoffman) was sweet, personable, professional and organized. He offered gentle guidance and worked with us to customize our playlist and create the event we had in mind. By the time the big day rolled around, it was so great to arrive at the reception and see dj Kahn, knowing he had the reins. DJ Kahn proceeded to deliver a memorably fantastic, seamless evening - and hiring him became the best vendor decision we made in the entire wedding planning process. Kudos and thanks to DJ Kahn!!

Dj Kahn was great from start to finish. He was highly professional, accommodating, reliable, and most importantly, a kick- ass dj! Throughout the entire grueling process of planning a wedding, he was the one element that I didn't have to worry about. He put my husband and I at ease from our first meeting. Our wedding was a huge success thanks to the music. Everyone loved him, especially my dad's girlfriend who repeatedly declared, "Your dj was sick!" Hire khan- you and your guests will not be disappointed!

Just to sum it up, the best in town. Con would never disappoint you. Everyone (including my 86 years old grandmother) was on the dance floor all night. Very professional and organized. Do yourself a favor and hire him.

DJ Kahn (Constantine Ptohos) is a true professional. Throw away any negative preconceived ideas you might have about wedding DJs when considering his services. Kahn's knowledge of music is vast, his understanding of the nuances and demands of wedding DJ-ing is top notch, and his professionalism is what you'd expect from a true businessman. He is reliable, helpful, enthusiastic, extremely tasteful, very personable, and ready to help make your day perfect however he can. Our wedding was outdoors with a patio space and two connected indoor spaces, all of which required audio. He effortlessly made that happen. My wife and I are both musicians so our play list was maybe slightly more eclectic but this only inspired Kahn even more. In addition, I wrote and recorded all our ceremony music which he needed to cue during the ceremony while making some on-the-spot decisions regarding timing. His performance was exceptional and the entire event an absolute joy. I highly recommend DJ Kahn for your wedding music!

Where to begin? DJ Kahn was BY FAR the most professional, well-organized wedding vendor we worked with. If you're in the midst of planning a wedding I'm sure you know how aggravating it can be dealing with flaky unresponsive people. Kahn was the exact opposite. Aside from being exceptionally good at his job, he's also really pleasant to work with, sincerely into doing a great job, and his price was extremely reasonable. In addition to being great during the planning process, he more than delivered on the day of. He was there early, all set up, never missed a beat and everyone LOVED the music. My guests had a fantastic time and it was in large part due to how well the music flowed that night. I give DJ Kahn my highest endorsement! Thank you!

DJ Kahn was amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. From our first meeting to the last song he was professional, friendly and helped make our wedding such an awesome day. He listened to our song requests and created the perfect soundtrack to our cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. Plus he's a really lovely guy. Thanks for being so great!
