    Outstanding!

    Darin is consummate professional! He was not only responsive to our needs, he was proactive in anticipating them too. In tune with the crowd and able to support all of the little details, like announcements as we shifted activities and ensuring all of the tables were directed to the buffet, so there wasn't a line. The dance floor was hopping!! And we really appreciated the sentimental touches like the anniversary dance and our final dance when he got everyone on the dance floor. Definitely recommend. You are in great hands with, Darin!

    Amazing DJ Experience, 10/10 Recommend!

    Darin was such a phenomenal addition to our wedding day and provided service above and beyond! He was equal parts a professional who provided wisdom and expert insight with putting together the timeline for the day, and an ultimate cheerleader who kept the energy alive for the whole night. We quite literally had the majority of our guests on the dance floor until the very end due to him! He is a great communicator both in the preparation and planning process prior to the wedding day, and throughout the day itself. I would not think twice to recommend him to someone I loved who was getting married, and have recommended him to many of my friends already. Thank you very much for all you contributed to our day, Darin, truly could not have asked for better!

    Great Experience!

    Darin did an awesome job as our wedding DJ! We communicated by email and phone to plan music from pre-ceremony through the end of our reception, he gave us great feedback and suggestions throughout, and he made sure everything went smoothly the day of. Darin is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Belt It Out Productions.

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    Such a fun day and special event! Congratulations again and thank you for having me provide DJ/MC services for your big day! So grateful the weather held out for your beautiful outdoor ceremony, too! Darin

    Wedding DJ

    Belt It Out Productions was the definition of top notch. We just had our wedding and Darin was phenomenal. Out of the entire wedding planning process this was easily the least stressful part. The planning and coordination. was so easy and the services Darin provided were amazing. If I could give 100 stars I would. Highly recommend!

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    You two were so awesome! It was such an honor being part of your wedding event; thank you!!!! I'm very happy that everything worked out so well for you and all of your family/friends. It was an honor! Darin

    Wonderful DJ for a Perfect Night

    Darin did an amazing job DJ-ing our winter wedding! He was so thorough with the planning and made sure to run through the entire order of events with us as well as making sure he knew the pronunciation of all the names. Everyone has been raving about the reception ever since, telling us how much fun they had with the music and dancing. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and use again for future events.

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    It was amazing!!!! The reception, dancing, party, atmosphere, and venue. Thank you again for having me - it was an honor! Darin

    Best dj ever!

    Last October, after we had to quickly change our wedding plans to be a tiny backyard ceremony due to COVID-19, Darin agreed to still provide music for us and was also helpful in the overall planning including organization of timeline and even music recommendations when we couldn’t decide. As a nurse who was caring for patients and exhausted, my husband and I seriously contemplated waiting another year, but with Darin’s confidence, guidance, and expertise, we decided to bring something positive to a challenging year and go ahead with the ceremony. He very much made the day special and carefree.

    Exactly one year later, on our 1st anniversary, we were able to finally celebrate with our family & friends. Darin once again provided his planning and coordination expertise working with all our vendors. He made sure the dance floor was NEVER empty! We danced & partied the night away as we always imagined.

    Do not hesitate to choose Belt It Out Productions for your event!

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    You and John were the best! So glad to be part of both events; ceremony and, 1 year later to the day, your BIG celebration with family & friends at 48 Fields. You two rock! Thanks again for having me. Darin

    Amazing Wedding DJ!

    We saw Darin at another friend’s wedding years ago and had a blast. We knew we needed him for our wedding DJ and somehow he went even further above our expectations! He was flawless and detail oriented with his delivery and even worked with some last minute requests we had. Highly recommend him!

    Thank you for the kind words! I am blessed to have had the opportunity to be there and provide DJ services for your wedding event. Thank you again! Darin

    The best DJ ever!

    Darin was the best DJ ever for our 2022 winter wedding! From his superior organization, professionalism, and kindness, we could not have had a better experience. Darin is extremely thorough and organized in his process to curate the highest quality event. He will walk you through everything from announcements, timing, best practices, playlists/ song types for each moment of the day, things that we would have never event thought of. Darin had many calls with us to walk us through the process, learn name pronunciations, and connected with the venue. He created the PERFECT playlist for our day from the pre-ceremony through the reception. As all of our guests said, BEST DANCE FLOOR EVER! We could not recommend Darin enough!!

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    Wow!!!! What an event it was!!! So grateful to have had the opportunity to support your special day. Hope to see you at some of my future events. Congratulations again to you both!!! Darin

    Great to work with through all the bumps

    I want to preface this by saying I did not end up having a wedding with a DJ thanks to COVID. We were originally supposed to get married in April and Darin dealt with all our postponements like a pro. He was responsive and helpful prior to booking him, and just as responsive and helpful when I had to reschedule twice and then cancelled on him.

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    I'm so sorry that we weren't able to make this happen due to the pandemic but I'm grateful for the time we did spend engaging and starting the planning process! All the best to you both!!! Darin

    Organized, flexible, and willing to get out from behind the DJ table to MC events

    When looking for a DJ, my wife and I knew we were exploring the possibility of doing unconventional things during our wedding reception. We also knew that we wanted things to move along on time and for guests to be informed. Therefore, we looked for a DJ who was comfortable with being an MC, willing to try different things, and most of all who was very organized. Darin of Belt It Out Productions wound up being our pick because he fit seemed to cover all three of those traits. He lived up to our expectations, and we would highly recommend him.

    Darin came up with several drafts of a schedule as we communicated back and forth in the time leading up the wedding, and ultimately he had a schedule planned down to the minute.

    In the end, the only unconventional activity we wound up doing during the reception was to have a trivia game about the wedding couple. Darin was more than willing to get out from behind the DJ's table to announce questions and answers for the trivia game and to interact with guests.

    For the actual DJ portion, Darin played all our must-play songs and selected songs according to the genres we had discussed. This was solid and everyone had a good time dancing (and I had a good time embarrassing myself with my dance moves).

    All in all, we were very happy with our DJ\MC experience.

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    LOVED your dance moves, too! It was such a fun night - thank you so much for having me and congratulations again to you and your beautiful bride. Darin

    Great DJ - both talented and a total professional!

    We met Darin at a vendor showcase shortly after we got engaged - we didn't have a venue or a date yet, but we were so impressed that we knew we would want to hire him once we had the date and venue squared away. There were two DJs at that showcase, and I don't think we would've known what to look for if we hadn't seen the difference between the two. The first DJ just talked about the music and had some videos of weddings she worked. Next, we met Darin. Darin talked about the organization, planning, etc - down to how he makes sure he has the correct pronunciations of everyone's names for the introductions - as well as the process of selecting music and reading the room. Darin was just obviously an expert both on the music side and the planning/event management side.

    Luckily, Darin was available when we were ready to book about a month after we first met. He was so easy to work with, and arrived the day of the wedding with plenty of time to set up and ensure things were ready to go. He is so nice, as well. He did a great job with the music, of course, and the dance floor was packed all night. We can't recommend him enough!

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    You are too kind Carolyn! Thank you for the wonderful testimonial. It was so much fun DJ'ing your special day and I'm so glad that everything worked out so perfectly!!! Congratulations and thank you again! Darin

    Darin kept the party going

    Darin was awesome from the moment we hired him, he impressed us with his professionalism and great vibes. The Belt it Out Productions experience was seamless, Darin efficiently got an idea of who we were, the party we wanted to have and the music we liked. We met a few times over the phone and went over the timeline that he assembled down to the minute! Darin communicated with our wedding planner and made it stress-free for us, a week before the wedding we did a final run through and made sure he had proper pronunciation for everyone's' names. The Day of Darin arrived early and had everything set up so after the ceremony the music and good times started promptly. Darin had a great playlist and made sure that guests of all ages were enjoying themselves and the music. He kept to the scheduled events but did not inhibit the flow of the night or dance floor for cake-cutting or special dances, He also made reminders for guests to remember to wear masks and keep social distance on the dance floor. At the end of the night we were sad the party was over but so glad we had Darin DJing and MCing the night.

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    Thank you! It was such a fun night and I really enjoyed being there and providing DJ/MC services for your special day!!! Congratulations to you both!!! Darin

    Incredible DJ!

    We were so incredibly happy with our decision to book Darin for our DJ! What you really need with a DJ is yes, good music, but perhaps more importantly a great master of ceremony who can keep the trains running on time! Darin was definitely this for us. He worked seamelessly with our venue to make sure that the order of events flowed well and incorporated a range of specific requests that we made of him. He was super communicative with us throughout the process and very organized, which I appreciated. He's fun enough to set a good tone for the event but serious enough to keep us organized and on task. I would absolutely recommend him for your wedding!

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    Thank you again for having me!!! It was such a fun event and hope you are doing well. Congratulations again!!! Darin

    What a great DJ!

    Darin is the best! We used him this past October for our wedding and his service was excellent. He came with plenty of time to set up, emailed us well in advance with a super detailed sheet to give him all of the information he needed, and kept everyone entertained all night long.

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    Thank you for the glowing review! Your wedding day was AMAZING! Such a sweet ceremony and super fun reception event! Congratulations again to you both!!!! It was an honor being there providing DJ services for your both! Darin

    Amazing! Great to work with.

    Darin was such a professional and so much fun. The communication leading up to our wedding was so great. We never had any questions about what was happening or what needed to take place. He brought my musical vision to life and put together such an incredible playlist of music for our entire evening. We had guests than ranged in age from 6 to 90 and everyone had a great time. I would hire Darin again in a second!

    Darin Is a Real Value Add

    Darin is a consummate professional. He is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. His focus is on making the experience as good as it can be. He will offer advice if asked but is perfectly happy to accommodate any requests and direction he receives. He works collaboratively with the other vendors--officiant, wedding planner, lighting, etc.

    Really enjoyed your special day at Salamander. Thank you for the kind words and congratulations to you all! Such a special wedding memory! All the best. Darin

    Amazing experience

    Darin was just great. He was very easy to work with and really cared about making the experience our own. I appreciated the time he spent ensuring that our playlist got worked into the night and was flexible with changes as they arose. He commits himself to the event in full, even being the one to hold doors for me and find my dinner when I got a moment to eat. We appreciated his attention to detail, such as triple checking name pronunciations and making sure we were introduced just as we wanted to be. Finally, he was the perfect balance of involved without taking over or dominating the night. People did not stop dancing the whole reception, and we truly had an amazing time. Thank you, Darin!

    Tashina - thank you for the kind remarks!!! I'm so glad you had a "day to remember"! It was really fun and was very happy to be part of your amazing day! Cheers to you both - Congratulations!!! Darin

    Darin was great!

    Honestly, Darin made the entire process of planning the ceremony and reception so incredibly easy. He went above and beyond providing dj services - he also helped us map every moment of our special day. The music was great all night, and we had a blast working with him!

    Awesome dj!

    We were absolutely blown away by Darin’s taste in music, professionalism, and experience. Every song he played was right on point – from the pre-ceremony music to the dance floor. After our first conversation with Darin, we knew he would be the perfect fit for our wedding. He understood our vision and truly brought it to life!

    Not only did Darin play great music, but he also did a phenomenal job communicating with our different vendors to make sure every piece of our special day went smoothly. From coordinating with the officiant, to our venue coordinator, and the photographer, Darin played a key role in setting the perfect pace for the evening. He even helped to make sure our photographer was able to snap a few large group photos on the dance floor!

    Belt it Out Productions's reply:

    Thank you Kate!!! It was such a fun day and really appreciated the opportunity to provide DJ/MC support for your wedding event. Very kind of you to submit a testimonial - THANK YOU! Hope to see you around at some of my other DJ gigs! :) All the best and congratulations again!

    Perfect DJ for our day

    Darin did an amazing job at our wedding at the American horticultural society in Alexandria, VA. Not only did he play great music that everyone danced to the whole night but he assisted with the toasts and made sure they went well.

    Before the day Darin was great at communicating with my husband and I and greatly assisted with the planning for the day. Very professional. Would definitely recommend.

    Darin helped create another great dance party! We picked Darin for our DJ after we enjoyed him so much from my sister's wedding. He was professional, very responsive and helped keep the dance floor packed from beginning to end. Thank you so much for such a fun filled night!

    Well organized and detailed

    Darin did a great job. Was detailed and organized in the planning process prior to the wedding. Listened to our requests. Flexible.
