    Awesome DJ for Wedding Reception

    Dave did a great job at our reception!
    He kept us on the dance floor and played the right music for all generations to enjoy. We would definitely use him again for DJ services.

    DJ Dave is very good

    We had another DJ lined up to do our wedding and three weeks out, he had to back out for a family reason. He contacted Dave for us and they worked out a deal for Dave to be our DJ. Dave was great. Our plans were always changing, even the day of the reception and Dave was very receptive and flexible. He kept the party going. I never felt like there was a lull in excitement or lack of people wanting to dance.

    Awesome DJ!

    DJ Dave made everything smooth and easy for my daughter’s wedding. From consulting with us before the wedding on the play and no play list to suggestions and then to the reception, he was the ultimate professional. His set up was clean and neat and blended into the reception decor. Dave made announcements as we had prearranged and was constantly reading the crowd to ensure everyone had a great time. He kept the dance floor busy with no lulls in the action. A bonus was he got some great photos for us from the venue prior to the reception starting that we would not have gotten otherwise as well as some fun photos from the party! I would definitely recommend Dave, he was professional and fun, listened to us and to the crowd to facilitate a wonderful wedding reception for us!

    Wonderful DJ !

    David DJ'd and helped guide our evening for our annual charity fundraiser for the HSGC. He was great working with our need for videos, several speakers and for singers using his sound board. Was prompt, professional and carried our evening. Would hire him again!

    Great DJ - All around exceptional service!

    DJ Dave and his team were extremely professional when it came to timeliness, set up/tear down, and communication. They were able to accommodate all of our song selections and were able to honor our preferences in the types of music that were played throughout the night as well. I would recommend DJ Dave to anyone who is looking for a professional, accommodating, and affordable DJ service. and would definitely hire him myself in the future for any DJ services I would need.

    DJ Dave was perfect for our wedding!

    Dave was recommended to me by another DJ, and we were definitely not disappointed! He worked with us weeks in advance to get a song list together and to make sure he knew when to play each song during the ceremony and throughout the night. The shoe game was a great success and lots of fun as well. He made sure that we were happy with the choices and even worked with some special requests from guests. A breaker also flipped at one point during the reception shutting everything off, but Dave made sure to keep everyone calm and had it all back up and running within 5 minutes! Definitely made for a great night and the photo booth was super fun!! Thank you DJ Dave!

    We called, set Date, They showed. Very easy and worry free, they handled everything even offering a new service they had just started which was the picture booth. What a hit for our event, every one had fun and it give the wedding couple something extra for their photo album. A+ rating in my book, I would recommend to everyone.

    Thanks so much. It was great working with your family. God bless, Dave

    This was an outdoor wedding for my granddaughter.

    Dave was on time, on target, worked well with the Preacher to make sure the PA worked well, and to cue the wedding music at the appropriate time, had a great choice of music for a crowd of all ages, had professional equipment and cleaned up afterwards.

    I will definitely recommend Dave to anyone who wants a great DJ.

    Thanks so much Joe, we had a great time djing for your family.

    I cannot even begin to express the gratitude I have for Dave and his wife! From the beginning Dave was really helpful in suggesting fun things to do during the wedding reception and even made suggestions of things to do during the ceremony! He definitely kept the party going and made sure everything happened on time! He was there early to set up and packed all his stuff after everyone left. We even sent him and his wife home with some flowers from the wedding. I could not be more happy with out decision to have Dave DJ at our wedding! He also brought dance floor lighting which was sort of a last minute decision on my part. He even called me about two days before the wedding to make sure everything was going okay and make sure I didn't have any other last minute changes! I would recommend him a million times! His pricing is fair and his skills are EXCELLENT! Thank you Dave for helping make our day even more special!! His wife also recorded our wedding ceremony and reception (nothing super fancy but I just wanted the main parts on video for our future children and I could not be happier)

    I used DJ Dave for my wedding and received tons of compliments, still receiving them actually. My guests loved him! I never met him face to face until my wedding day, but I spoke with him on the phone and emailed with him several times. He helped me select songs for my ceremony and special dances. Which BTW, he has several "fun dances" you can include for your reception to get all those people who "don't dance" up out of their seats. I even had him video my wedding, while he is not a big producer/videographer, we still got all the important moments on video and even got some video of people just enjoying the reception. Don't be confused, Dave didn't charge us anywhere near what a videographer would and we really didn't want a "produced" video, (it just seemed like a waste of money because how often do you actually watch it?). Dave and his Wife were both professional and very reasonably priced. I would definitely hire him again and again!

    Dave knows his business. He is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and quick on his feet with last minute details. He and his team are a lot of fun and great to work with. If you want someone to just play music or to liven up your party along the way, Dave is your man. My wife and I were very pleased with how he handled our wedding. He listens to his customers and he does what he says he will. I highly recommend him for any event you may have planned!
