The People Behind the Music
Big-city energy, coastal charm, and a drummer's instinct for the room.
The Story
CJ is a wedding DJ at COS Celebrations based in St. Augustine, Florida. He started DJing at 15 years old under the mentorship of his older brother Spyro - a respected name in the New York DJ circuit - and 16 years later, he's still doing it full-time. Along the way he toured the world as a professional drummer, playing venues across Asia, Europe, and South America. That combination of turntable technique and live-performer instinct is what makes his weddings feel different from the DJ down the street.
Long Island born and now St. Augustine based, CJ brings big-city energy to Florida weddings without losing the coastal warmth couples come here for. He is the DJ couples request when they want a room that never sits down - and the one venue coordinators quietly recommend to their favorite planners.
Signature Style
Sixteen years of live shows behind him. CJ does not run a pre-programmed setlist - he adjusts every transition based on what the crowd is actually doing in the moment. That is why guests describe his sets as feeling personal.
Years of professional drumming means he thinks in beats before he thinks in songs. Transitions are seamless, energy builds are timed to the second, and the dance floor moves as one.
CJ handles introductions, toasts, and every mic moment with a calm confidence you notice only because nothing goes wrong. He never overpowers the moment - he sets it up for you.
Every couple gets a real conversation before the wedding - not a form. CJ builds his sets around your story, your must-plays, and the tracks that will pack your specific dance floor.

What Couples Say
Real reviews from couples who booked COS Celebrations and had CJ as their DJ.
"CJ the DJ was amazing! He really took the time to get to know us and really understood the vibe we wanted at our wedding. We also had Guillermo on the violin and all of the guests mentioned how nice of a touch it was to have live music at our ceremony. Do not even get me started on the live saxophone during our reception - another huge hit! Every detail down to the microphone for the ceremony (also a huge deal) was done flawlessly. Thank you so much to COS Celebrations for making our dream ceremony and reception come true!"
