  Loved working with Spencer

  We worked with Spencer directly for our wedding and highly appreciated his attention to detail, responsiveness, and flexibility throughout the planning process. We weren't super timely in delivering our playlists and song choices, and he was understanding and helpfully reminded us when we were getting closer to the big day. Additionally, he did a fantastic time MCing and working with our day-of coordinator to make sure the ceremony kept on-time (since our venue had a strict cut-off time).

  Spencer rocks!

  Spencer came highly recommended by our venue owner and hiring him for our wedding was the BEST decision we made. He’s thorough, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, easy going and a pleasure to work with. He was patient as we navigated the process and worked closely with us to create amazing playlists. We also had him play guitar during the reception and it was magnificent! Finally, when we asked for some last-minute changes, he accommodated them with grace and understanding. We recommend Spencer with our highest level of enthusiasm!!

  Hire Sutherland Entertainment now!!

  Spencer was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. His communication and website is so clear, he follows a helpful timeline, and he knows what questions to ask to make your wedding run smoothly. At our wedding, Spencer was professional, kind, and calm. His guitar playing is stunning and his DJing was perfect. Our wedding ran so smoothly because of him. We wish we could get married again just to re-do the party :) If you are going to hire a DJ and/or guitarist, hire from Sutherland Entertainment!

  Spencer made our wedding day amazing!

  Our best decision for our wedding was hiring Sutherland Entertainment. Spencer was so easy to work with and gave us such good advise and feedback. I would definitely hiring him again for an event.

  Great DJ at our daughter and son-in-law's wedding

  We really enjoyed working with Spencer Sutherland at the Haven in Tomales for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding. Contracting was simple and he did a beautiful job with the lighting. He kept the entire evening moving at a great clip, played all the songs from our playlist, and handled the speeches extremely well. Most importantly, the dance floor was crowded for two solid hours and many of our guests commented that they have never danced more at a wedding!

  AMAZING - Absolutely no regrets

  Spencer was the most amazing wedding DJ I've ever seen. He was professional, organized, structured, kind, and talented. He could really pick up the vibes in the room and make changes accordingly. He also made sure that we didn't go off schedule. We didn't have a day of coordinator so looking back, our wedding would not have been so seamless without him. I would 100% recommend him. I have nothing but positive things to say about him, and I have yet to see another DJ as good. I have no regrets!

  A wonderful DJ for our wedding!

  We’re so glad we hired Spencer to DJ our wedding! He handled the audio for the wedding ceremony itself, MC’d the reception, played the music for the dancing, and also provided uplighting for the event space. Everything he worked on just went smoothly. The audio for the ceremony was high quality and just worked. He did a great job as MC, staying on time, announcing what was happening, and making everyone feel welcome. He did fantastically with the music too - we had a few specific requests, and he nailed them all, but most of the night we gave only vague instructions and he made a ton of great picks, keeping energy high on the dance floor. The uplighting he provided was beautiful as well and really elevated the space! Throughout the process, he was easy to work with, timely, communicated proactively, and was always on top of every little detail. We’d definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a DJ!

  Very professional and responsive

  We hired Spencer to MC and DJ our wedding and were very happy with his services. Given that our venue did not have the best acoustics, Spencer did a great job making sure that we had the right sound set up. He was prepared for every minute of the reception and was careful to make sure that he got everybody's name in the program correct. With some general direction with regards to musical genres, Spencer picked a repertoire of songs that were perfect for our guests. His equipment sounded great and all of our guests really enjoyed the music and the vibes of our celebration.

  The Best! Thank you Sutherland

  I truly could not have been happier with the service provided by Spencer Sutherland and his team!! The live music, DJ, and photo booth were PERFECT and our guests had a blast. Everything went off without a hitch and it was instrumental to our wedding being seamless and so memorable.
  
  The guitarist, David, added a very special element to our ceremony and our DJ Kevin kept everyone dancing until the very end of the night! All of our guests loved the photobooth and I am so grateful for the hundreds of photos taken that I will cherish for a lifetime.
  
  During the planning phase, Spencer was proactive in making sure all details were determined ahead of time. The online planning forms made it very easy. During our initial call Spencer was clear in explaining all of our options and was quite responsive from start to finish.
  
  I would recommend Sutherland Entertainment to anyone I know and I look forward to working with them for future events.

  Great wedding DJ!

  Spencer was a great addition at our wedding! He had a very easy to use online planning form and had a lot of good tips for our timeline. He is very well organized and handled last minute changes at our wedding very well. Everyone had a great time dancing! He even took a few videos for us of our guests dancing. We would definitely recommend him!

  Great Experience

  We hired Sutherland Entertainment for our wedding and would recommend their services. David, a guitarist, provided beautiful music for our outdoor ceremony and even learned the specific song that I wanted for my walk down the aisle. The rest of the Sutherland team made sure that the sound was perfect for the ceremony and provided mics for the officiant and readers. For our reception, Sutherland provided fantastic, warm uplighting that worked well in our space. DJ Kevin controlled the music for the reception and did a good job. He played quite a few of the songs that we requested, but not a lot of them. In his defense, though, what he did play was a hit with the guests, which is probably why he is a DJ and I am not :). Overall, we had a great experience with Sutherland Entertainment. We found their pricing fair and Spencer, the owner, was very communicative and thorough to ensure that our day went smoothly.

  Great service, communication, and DJ!

  Spencer was great to work with for our wedding at the Brazilian Room this past September 2019. He gave us just the right amount of guidance to recommend how to have our event run smoothly, while still allowing us to make all of the decisions in the planning process. As part of the package, the forms they provided made the planning process and putting together song requests for the DJ super easy. Our DJ, Derek, was so personable and played just the right songs at the end of the night for our crowd. Also, Sutherland Entertainment is a preferred vendor for The Brazilian Room in Berkeley, so if you’re getting married there, they have a special package that’s discounted, which is a great deal. They also offer lighting services, which we took advantage of, and our venue looked absolutely beautiful that night.

  Awesome, affordable, highly recommend these guys for lights and DJ

  Sutherland provided the lights, audio set up, and DJ for our wedding. From our initial conversations, Spencer was incredibly helpful, responsive, and open to our ideas and suggestions. We had them set up string lights above our dining area, and it looked AWESOME. All the audio was on point. At first we weren't sure we wanted to have a DJ and had discussed options for audio support only, but after conversations with Spencer we decided to go for the full DJ package with lights. We had absolutely no regrets. DJ Kevin was a dream to work with -- he perfectly balanced selecting songs from our playlist with selections of his own and expertly mixed them together during song transitions. We got lots of compliments on the dance floor lights as well, which really enhanced the atmosphere. This was the dance party of our dreams, and it was in large part thanks to Sutherland -- we highly recommend them for your wedding!

  Excellent Choice for Wedding Entertainment

  We are very happy that we chose Spencer and his team at Sutherland Entertainment for our wedding. When searching for a DJ for our wedding, it was difficult to know who to choose, especially when looking from out of state. My now husband set up a phone call with the owner of Sutherland, Spencer, and felt at ease and confident that Sutherland Entertainment was the right choice. Spencer is genuine and honest. Throughout the many months of planning Spencer was available to answer questions and didn’t miss a detail. Also, Sutherland was our top choice for the array of services they offer and for the reasonable prices. We were able to pick a package that fit all our needs; including, lighting, DJ and photobooth!
  
  The lighting was perfect with amber up lighting in the reception room, string lights on the patio, colorful lights on the dance floor and more. It all looked beautiful and inviting.
  
  DJ Cody was great at his job and kept the party moving. He was easy to work with, took our song requests and was there to help direct guests throughout the night. He was super friendly too! He was engaged with the party and didn’t miss a beat. All his sound levels and timing were perfect.
  
  Lastly, the photobooth was a huge hit at our wedding. We are so glad we decided to add it in our package. The prime placement of the booth within the venue, plenty of fun props and prints available to print right away, email or text helped make this a highlight of the night. It was so fun to look through all the photos of our family and friends after the wedding!

  Fantastic Experience!

  We are extremely pleased with our decision to work with Sutherland Entertainment for our wedding. DJ Cody took the time to sit down with us beforehand to understand our vision and he delivered exactly what we were hoping for on our wedding day. Throughout the night, his song selections kept everyone engaged (not an easy task given the mix of generations) and energy levels high. We had an absolute blast and received rave reviews from our guests. Highly recommended.

  Sutherland was great from the moment of speaking on the phone with the owner regarding our needs. To being able to speak to DJ Derek and get a feel for his style. Spencer at Sutherland was great and he has one of the most organized timelines for the wedding. The uplighting was the great tone of color for our wedding. DJ Derek was able to entertain the dance floor the entire night, he truly was seamless in terms of music transitions and selecting the right songs. Overall, five star experience. Would recommend to anyone as they were affordable and the best.

  Guys. I cannot recommend Sutherland Entertainment strongly enough. Spencer and our audio technician were truly a joy to work with and made our wedding. Music is super important to us, so audio quality at our wedding was crucial, but we had our wedding at a park in Oakland (Roberts Regional Recreation Area) that does not allow generators. No problem for Sutherland Entertainment! They set up speakers both at our ceremony and reception site, miked up our officiant, and provided mikes for us for our vows and for our toasts. Spencer also worked with us to ensure that we could create our own playlists and they would play as we wanted them to. Everything went off without a hitch, and the sound was excellent, which was super impressive regardless - I've been to weddings at established wedding venues with permanent audio staff where they've had audio issues - but especially impressive considering the venue and site limitations. Not to mention, our venue was up a hill with no real car access - they made it work and did not once complain (which is more than we can say for our wedding coordinator, but that's for another review). TLDR: Hire Sutherland Entertainment for your event, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely use them again!

  Sutherland Entertainment is a true gem of a company. My wife and I are so blessed to have stumbled across this company for our big day. Spencer, the owner of Sutherland Entertainment, truly took the time to cater to our every need. Even before signing a contract, Spencer did extremely well to provide us with all of our options and made recommendations for lighting and music that my wife and I did not even think of to begin with. Spencer and his team's response time to e-mails and phone calls were very prompt and communication was friendly and professional. My wife and I have dealt with many vendors for our wedding and Sutherland Entertainment is head and shoulders above the rest. Spencer arranged to have Kevin Ayers play guitar at our ceremony and DJ Cody for our reception. Kevin played exceptionally and was so great to deal with on the day. DJ Cody was hands down the best DJ I've ever had the pleasure to meet. If I could give more than five stars to Spencer and his team I certainly would. Do not think twice about going with Sutherland Entertainment. You will not regret it. Thank you Spencer, Kevin, and Cody for making our wedding extraordinary!

  Liaison Spencer:
  Spencer was extremely detail oriented, and we were able to do everything over email. He kept us on track and on time in our overall planning. I was never worried about emailing him, I would always get an answer back.
  
  DJ Kevin:
  Throughout the planning process, Kevin was very accessible via email and phone. Sitting on a phone call with him didn't feel like work and he was able to do everything we asked before the wedding, such as seamlessly splice a song for the Father/Daughter dance. Super easy going, fast to schedule, we never had conflict with him.
  
  Kevin was sharp and asked us for certain things, such as a script for the reception, which played a large role in people enjoying our reception. We had special announcements we wanted to make and Kevin nailed it.
  
  He also was constantly in touch with us during the whole reception, keeping us up to date on where we were in our schedule. He was flexing to every event and did a fantastic job being the ultimate collaborator in the largest "one and done" party we've ever thrown in our lives.
  
  Kevin was really hype at the reception himself. He joined in and made sure that the atmosphere was pumped up for our entrances and dances. The dance music itself was a hit and everyone stayed on the dance floor until the very end.
  
  Kevin absolutely nailed it. I would absolutely recommend him to any of our other friends!
  
  Photobooth:
  We had a photobooth as well as a photo backdrop for greeting guests. Everything was set up before we showed up to the venue. The photobooth technician was warm, welcoming, helpful and had a great sense of humor as my friends all reported that the technician couldn't stop laughing and commenting on their creativity with the photos. The photoback drops were rather large, able to squeeze in groups of 8-10 people.
  I was able to create my own photo strip design and Sutherland was happy to accommodate so that I could give my own touch to the guest mementos.

  Our wedding went incredibly smoothly thanks in part to Sutherland Entertainment. Spencer Sutherland was very easy to work with and knew exactly what we needed for our wedding. DJ Trevor was excellent; his music choices pleased us and all of our guests. My husband and I are very impressed with his work, especially considering that we did not give him many guidelines. We could not be happier with him and with Sutherland Entertainment. It was a pleasure to work with them!

  Our guitarist Justin played the most beautiful music. I was so happy to have that perfect touch added before our ceremony. DJ Alex Storm did an amazing job playing everything I had picked out. What a professional! While guests were chatting, he played all my fav music from the 80's. During dining, Alex played everything appropriate for guests. And when it was dance time; everyone got on the floor to dance. So much fun! I would use Sutherland again in a heartbeat!

  We used Sutherland Entertainment for our wedding and we were so happy! Putting on events is not our thing and we had very little time to dedicate to planning. Spencer was amazingly helpful and supportive. He made it easy and was flexible with last minute changes. The DJ was awesome, everything came off without a hitch and the guests had a fabulous time dancing. The lighting, photo both and set up was perfect!! We would highly recommend Sutherland for your wedding.
