About Christopher London DJ Service

Empathy drives us - especially at weddings. We care deeply about your experience and believe the biggest day of your life should be as close to perfect as it gets. To that end, we’re borderline obsessive about reading your room, gauging guest reactions, and adapting on the fly. Our goal? To ensure your event is energetic, elevated, and a true expression of you - from dance floor opener to grand finale.

More than wedding and event entertainers, we’re a talent collective. A carefully curated group of professional DJs and musicians who have been trusted by notable brands and hundreds of couples alike.

TRUSTED TO SET THE TONE BY

Schedule a Call with Chris

I’m living my dream through CLDJ Service - and my team and I would be honored to be a part of realizing yours.

Truth is, I got tired of playing music for people who didn't really care at events that didn’t really matter. It was a cool scene and a lot of fun - hands in the air, flashing lights. But the entire experience - this full-sensory journey I was busting my tail to take people on - lived and died within a day.

Those experiences set the stage for the rest of my career, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. But they don’t hold a candle to the rush I get during and after a wedding or special event - AKA, the headliner event of your lifetime. For me, there’s no greater accolade than being involved in a celebration that will be remembered and re-lived, quite literally, forever.

Mic drop moment, right? Not quite.

As a kid, anytime I was in the car and a song came on the radio that I really liked, I'd boost myself up to get closer to the window. I told my sisters I was just trying to take it all in. But it went deeper than that. I wanted to be a part of it - to actually put myself into the moment. That’s how I knew music was for me.

After high school, I got my start in the industry by hosting karaoke events and singing. By my mid-20s, I’d made the jump to DJing - and to California. I spent 10 solid years there working as a professional DJ and music producer, rubbing shoulders with big names on big stages. I did stuff for MTV, met celebrities, and DJ’d alongside major artists – including a residency with DJ Loczi from VH1's Master of the Mix. I was also a featured music producer for the popular video game Rocket League, under the artist name Abandoned Carnival. 

Music hooked me from an early age.

Let's roll it all the way back.

Oh man. DJ Keith was the star of the night. Words cannot describe how much I would recommend this man if you want your party to be, for lack of a better word, lit. In our pre-wedding meeting, I asked him to bring millennials to life on the dance floor, and he transformed Circ & Root into a 2011 frat party (in an amazing way); it was the things dreams are made of.

– for lack of a better word, lit.”

“The star of the night

Above and beyond his role as DJ and emcee, Keith is a life-long student of music. Growing up in a musical household, he had his hands on piano keys, drumsticks, and a clarinet before the age of 10. His ability to create set lists that get everyone, and we mean everyone, moving on the dance floor is unrivaled. Off the decks, he enjoys being a dad to three super cool girls, goal-keeping for his hockey team, and hitting the West Coast for a little adventure.

We had DJ Tony helping at our wedding and he could not have been more kind and helpful. He was very intentional with explaining what to expect for each person who gave a speech, which really put everyone at ease! I couldn't be more grateful to have picked this group for our wedding and I would book them again 1000 times over!

intentional.”

“Kind, helpful,

Beats and sound struck a chord with Tony early in life, and his passion for music continues to resonate through his superior work as a DJ and emcee for CLDJ Service. Like a musical matchmaker, Tony excels at pairing the right track with the mood of the moment to take your party where it needs to go. Confident in his ability to control the room, yet deeply client focused, Tony’s no-ego, service-first attitude makes him an asset to any event. Away from the turntables, Tony's a die-hard Red Wings fan, proud father, committed fiancé, and an all-around family man.

enough good things!”

“Incredible! I can’t say

There’s a reason why DJ Danny was voted the Best DJ in Detroit by Metro Times. Danny excels at moving a party from behind the turntables and is well-versed in a wide variety of music genres.

A master at mixing records, Danny utilizes tasteful scratching to bring a little flavor to his sets. Outside of CLDJ Service, Danny is an in-demand performer who holds residencies at noteworthy establishments in the Greater Detroit area. He can't wait to rock your next event!
