Reviews
We gave Dave a few things that we like, and he NAILED the whole night. Couldn't recommend him more. He made our night perfect. 😁
DJ Dave was our DJ, emcee, and source of calm guidance for our wedding this past Saturday. We highly recommend him and enjoyed working with him through the process. Our event was more intimate with 40 guests and Dave provide music for our procession, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and dance floor. He also provided announcements when transitioning between each part which we appreciated. He was the perfect presence with a light touch and thoughtful guidance as much of this was new to us. His initial planning form was greatly appreciated as was his encouraging us to provide a list of songs that we wanted. He said many times that this is our event, We had multiple generations at the event and he filled in beautifully with tunes that appealed to everyone! He was also prepared by providing wireless mics for the toasts and ceremony. His audio quality was also very good as any videos had music with good sound quality in the background. DJ Dave is a joyful professional to work with.
DJ Dave was absolutely terrific! He was extremely professional, punctual, and he put us at ease regarding our wedding ceremony. He has a thorough checklist that covers all the bases related to all facets of a wedding. We had a long list of things to worry about and DJ Dave was at the bottom. He's also a super interesting guy to talk to about San Francisco and hip hop. I would highly recommend DJ Dave for your wedding.
DJ Dave was fabulous. Dave provided music for my daughter’s wedding. It was all about the music. Dave supported the mood of the celebration perfectly. He is highly professional. I will not hesitate to hire him again, and strongly recommend Dave to all.
Dave DJ'd our small wedding of about 50 guests. We were afraid people wouldn't dance much and it would be awkward. It was far from it! Dave did a great job at playing to our guests and keeping the flow going. He worked well with our wedding planner and kept everything on schedule! I'd recommend him to anyone getting married in the area.
We just hired DJ Dave so haven't had the opportunity to work with him, but we're excited to have him DJ our upcoming wedding.
Great DJ, Party was a great!
Dave is friendly, straight forward, organized, professional and polite. He is clearly a professional DJ, not a part-timer and he takes a lot of pride in his work. He has 60,00 songs, all the audio equipment, lighting and templates for everything to ensure the day is well planned and executed. All the qualities necessary for a high-caliber, professional wedding ceremony and reception.
