Sample of DJ John Quincy announcing wedding party








John Quincy   


Though not originally a Low Country resident, Lexington, Kentucky-bred John Quincy adopted Charleston as his second hometown in 1981 when he moved there to continue his radio career as afternoon DJ and Production Director at WSSX-FM (95SX).

In 1985, John assumed the position of Program Director and PM Drive host at WXTC-FM (Lite Rock 96.9) in 1985, where he remained for nearly 10 years. John also was a morning DJ at WBUB-FM (Bubba 107.5), plus worked as weekend and fill-in host at WXLY-FM (Oldies 102.5) and afternoon host and Assistant Program director of WSUY (Soft Rock Sunny 96.9) Charleston. Today, John is part of the morning team at Charleston's legendary WTMA.

Along with nearly 30 years as a popular Charleston radio host, John has utilized his music programming and announcing skills as a mobile DJ for hundreds of successful Low Country wedding receptions, private parties, and corporate events.

John resides with his wife Darlene and their two cats in the West Ashley area of Charleston.

John ensures that all musical requests by guests are promptly located and played when appropriate. His warm personality and low key manner brings rave reviews, resulting in many repeat bookings.

John's extensive music collection includes tens of thousands of songs from the Top 40, Adult Contemporary, Oldies, R&B, Dance, Country and Beach Music genres, including the latest smash hits. If it's ever been played on the radio, John either has it or will get it.


Mr. Quincy,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for doing such a fabulous job at our wedding reception this past Friday night! I was so pleased to see so many of my friends and family members come “out of their shells” and enjoy themselves on the dance floor. You played everything I had hoped to hear during the course of the night, and I just think that everything was perfect! I was so relieved that there were no “lulls” and that the entertainment was wonderful start to finish. We really appreciate your work—you are terrific! Thanks again!

Take care,

Annie and Dan

Joe & Joyce, Aiken, SC

"I told Chris today that I wanted to email you and say thank you so very much for a wonderful wedding and reception. You were fantastic! I am sorry that everything got a lot of shuffling due to the weather and guests coming/going - but our DJ was the best...as was our wedding."

Danielle, Greensburg, PA

"We had the best time and still cannot get over how perfect everything was! We have been getting so many compliments on our music -- thank you so much John! It was really exactly how we envisioned it and you played a huge part in making it so special :) We were worried when we first started
planning this wedding that it would be quite a challenge planning a South Carolina wedding from Virginia but you made this very special and very personal for us even though we never had the chance to meet you in person until our wedding day! That means so much to Jonathan and I both :) Thank you so much again :) I will definitely be recommending you for anyone I know who is planning a wedding down in SC!"

Sabrina, Falls Church, VA

"John, we can't thank you enough. Everyone I talked to said you've got the perfect voice for a DJ and did a fantastic job with the music. Wedding planning is stressful and you made sure we didn't have to worry about the music. Thanks again, it was a pleasure working with you."

Charlie, Atlanta, GA

"John, I just wanted to reiterate what my husband said about the great job you did on Saturday. The reason there were so many people on the dance floor was because you compiled the perfect mix of dance songs to accommodate our guests of all ages. And you had songs cued up perfectly, and you had impeccable timing for songs that I requested like 'Tiger Rag'. Everyone I've talked to has sung your praises, and I can't thank you enough for how you kept the party going. Thanks again for everything." Kristin, Atlanta, GA

"THANK YOU John. You were great! I am still hearing from my friends and family what a wonderful time they all had.

"...how pleased we were with John Quincy's deejaying at our wedding. We had given him a fairly lengthy list of songs that we wanted to play including dedications and he did a great job! We danced the night away and even extended our dance time because folks were having too much fun to let the night end on time. Many of our guests have told us that he was the best deejay they've ever heard at a wedding and wish all the weddings were that much fun! He really did a great job!!"

Sue & Andy Washington, DC

"Thank you for doing such a wonderful job. The music was perfect."

Marie Myrtle Beach, SC

"We had quite an age spread for our 25th anniversary party from early 30's to late 80's. Several remarked about the music and how good it was. We didn't give John a whole lot of guidance about how things were going to go. (We didn't know ourselves.) I'm afraid we threw him several curve balls, but he was gracious and flexible throughout the evening. The music was perfectly selected and unobtrusive. We were pleased."

Joyce & Milton Isle of Palms, SC

"...helpful in providing song lists for us to develop a partially scripted song list. He also was willing to stay after and work overtime when we ran late."

Chris & Susan Decatur, GA

Victoria Salisbury, MD

"Very professional and had every song requested by the guests."
