Amazing dj for wedding!

Dave was our dj at our wedding this last weekend and he was AMAZING! I’m very type A and wanted certain things a certain way and boy did he deliver. Our dance floor was far from empty all night! He did a great job at communicating with me (the bride) leading up to the wedding and made sure I was stress free on the wedding day. 10/10 would recommend

Well worth it

Dave was fun, had great music and stayed up late playing (long after I even went to bed). He didn't stop until the party stopped

Dave made our wedding wonderful

When Joanne and I were interviewing DJs for our wedding, we were struck by Dave's enthusiasm and interest in working with us. He did not disappoint! Dave worked closely with us in the weeks leading up to the wedding, offering up suggestions for certain wedding ceremony events when we found ourselves stumped. We had a specially choreographed/edited first dance and Dave was more than happy to use our cut of music for it. He did a great job of 'reading the room' and keeping the party going while also using our requested music (we ran out of gas a few times from so much dancing & had to take quite a few breaks to recharge!). Thank you Dave, you made our wedding day amazing.

Miscommunication

On our actual wedding day, the DJ who showed up informed us the Dave had booked 4 weddings on this day. And he was there to fill in for him, we booked Dave to be our MC and the DJ that was there to replace him, it was obvious he had never looked at our script beforehand and didn't receive the list of songs we put together that we wanted played during the dance. Overall he did an OK job of entertaining the guests and keeping the Dancefloor busy.

Overall great experience

Clint was the DJ that ended up coming to our wedding and he killed it! He had the dance floor packed the whole time which is exactly what we wanted to have! He was able to read the room to keep everyone going! He also made sure he had a conversation with myself and my husband to see if there was any music off limits, and to see if we wanted requests etc…. We also used their photo booth which was an excellent choice there was a line up all night long for people waiting to get in it!!

Professional, kind, creative and very available.

Dave was the perfect choice for my wedding. COVID obviously got int he way of our scheduling MORE THAN ONCE and Dave was available for all reschedling, he didn't change my quote when we moved from the wedding off-season to the regular popular on season. He dealt with some entitled drunk guests like an absolute pro and was the definition of accommodating and professional. I will ABSOLUTELY use Dave again for any large events which require DJ services. 10/10 would recommend, he's the best.
