Bill Carroll was more than a DJ at my mom's wedding. He genuinely cared about my mom's wishes and made it clear he wanted her to have the best wedding ever. It's like he became a member of our family leading up to and during the wedding. He made the entire process SO easy. When it came to the actual wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. My favorite part was when everyone left to line up and send off my mom and her new hubby, he played one final song for just the two of them to dance to, by themselves, on the dance floor. It was so incredibly touching. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute stand up guy and a DJ who knows what he's doing! Everyone had a blast. We love you, Bill Carroll!
