TESTIMONIALS
The MC (MC DDOONG) provided much needed guidance and input in how to plan entire wedding. He went far and beyond what was expected of an MC. We also liked the fact that he is totally bilingual so he can cater to the older folks as well. DJ Kimmy and Cris were great too! Truly grateful! Thank you so much!

I planned my wedding 6 months out. I knew from the start one of my biggest challenges were going to be finding a MC/DJ to host my wedding as I didn’t want my friends to be part of wedding so that they can enjoy our special moment rather than feeling like they had to work a wedding. I came across MC Jin and his team while doing google searched as part of my major requirements was someone that was bilingual in both Korean and English. A huge part of the guest list were my parent’s friends and I wanted a wedding where they felt they were involved and not solely based on the younger party. From the first meeting to planning MC Jin and his team were very attentive and had quick follow up response period. Being the expert in weddings, MC Jin also provided pointers and guidance while I was putting the schedule. I cannot be more grateful for such a wonderful & energetic team to work with. All of the guests are sending messages on how much fun they had! We couldn’t have pulled this celebration off with this team. It is tough to find a bilingual team so if this is something you are looking for please consult and book! Make sure to inquire with MC Jin about packages including photobooth if you are interested. Photobooth was such a big hit for our guests and we are reliving all of the moments we missed through the pictures. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for being a part of our day!!!!

JIN "Z" CHA AKA MC뚱 DDOONG was resourceful and made sure that everyone at our wedding got up and danced. He was a smooth MC who was able to cater to both English-speaking and Korean-speaking guests at our reception. He was also knowledgeable about the Korean Pae-Baek so he was able to explain the custom to our non-Korean guests. Few of my guests commented how fun MC Ddoong was and recommended him to others for their wedding. He was even accommodating after our wedding by following up with us. It's almost a year since the wedding and our guests still comment how fun our wedding was. They also liked the song choices that DJ Andy played.

MC뚱 DDOONG and DJ Andy were absolutely incredible. From the first meeting to the last song, we couldn't have asked for better. Weddings are very stressful and complicated events to plan. Jin helped us through every step of the way, made suggestions when we had questions, and made our wedding a truly memorable event. Guests were enjoying it so much that many kicked off their high heels and shoes and danced until the venue started shutting down.
Many of our guests said this was the best DJ and MC combo they've ever heard. Even more than a year after the wedding, the guests still bring it up! Highly, highly recommended!
