We hired Alan to provide DJ services, up-lighting, and a photobooth for our wedding. Alan had great communication throughout the planning process. A few months into planning, my re...
ception venue fell through. Alan was very supportive and even offered venue recommendations.
He did a wonderful job at cutting all of the songs for our ceremony processional/recessional, and played all of our requests. The up-lighting added so much dimension to our space and the photobooth was a guest favorite. His props are clean and organized, and he has thousands of photobooth templates to choose from to match the event. He also provided all of the photobooth photos in digital form. This was an unexpected bonus!
During our reception, we played the ‘Newlywed Game.” Alan had the newlywed game theme song and the sounds for the right and wrong answers on cue. It added so much to the guest experience, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. If you are looking for a kind, organized, genuine, and professional entertainment group, hire Alan Waltz Entertainment.
Alan was great! We hired him for the entire day as we needed a DJ for our ceremonies too. He was very easy to work with. He made it a point to do a walkthrough with us at both our ...
venues. He identified potential music coordination problems ahead of time too and most importantly, he and his assistant DJ brought the party on the day of our wedding!
We had made lists for them to play for each occasion and they stuck to them very nicely. There were a couple of hiccups with logistical challenges of our ceremony venue but Alan covered it all really well. He made it a point to coordinate our wedding party entry himself to make sure it goes smoothly and his MCing was great too. We highly recommend Alan for any event you might be planning.
JJ was a hit! So many of our guests told us that our wedding had the best music of any of the weddings they've been to this year.
JJ could always tell the mood and shifts in the ...
crowd, and even picked on some cues made during speeches to play certain songs. Thanks for making it a party!
Pros:
• Alan was generally professional throughout the wedding, and pleasant in our meetups beforehand
• He had a bit of a sense of humor during his announcements at the wedding wh...
ich we appreciated
• We hired a photobooth through him as well and it had amazing lighting that made for fantastic pictures, and the helper running it helped everything go very smoothly
Cons:
• Alan’s attention to small details wasn’t the best. He got a few small things wrong on the day that we had specifically talked through during our prep phone call earlier that week, nothing major but just small annoyances that were unnecessary on the day.
Alan is an amazing DJ!! He’s really dedicated to what he does. For our wedding reception, our main request was that he play dance music to keep the floor alive, and he delivered ...
big time. We sort of had 2 different crowds: a lot of friends who like the early 2000s (plus some more recent stuff and classics like Michael Jackson) as well as a bunch of friends from India who love dancing to Bollywood music. Alan knew just what songs to play (from all of these genres) — and, he was really skilled at watching the dance floor and jumping back and forth between the genres to make sure everyone was having a good time. Not only that, he really went above and beyond: I had asked for group dances, but then forgot how to do the electric slide (!!!)…so he came out onto the dance floor and taught everyone! He wanted to make sure we were happy, and it showed. Thanks, Alan, we’re so glad you were our DJ!
My DJ was not given the questionnaire that I had filled out online. He did know which songs I had put on my "must play" list, the names of the bridal party for introductions, or th...
e schedule of events (e.g., father-daughter dance, first dance, etc.). He did a great job with the little bit of information he was given, but should have been better informed.
My wife and I hired Alan Waltz Entertainment for our wedding at Wente Winery in Livermore, CA, and we were extremely thrilled by the DJ. If you're looking for a DJ to play 90s hip/...
hop and R&B, I would definitely recommend Huy. He nailed it with the music and EVERYONE was dancing all night. I coordinated with Alan prior to the wedding and the planning forms made it really easy to ensure that all of the music, from the processional to the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, was executed without a glitch. Alan was easily accessible and answered questions in a timely and attentive manner. I have already recommended Alan Waltz Entertainment to other people who need DJ services in the Bay Area. To top it all off, the DJ Services were affordable and reasonable. You won't have to break the bank if you go with Alan Waltz Entertainment.
We were very happy with our choice to use Alan Waltz DJ services for our wedding. I read a lot of reviews before selecting a DJ for our wedding and the common thread I saw for Alan...
’s reviews were: they were flexible and really listened to the bride & groom, they do a good job reading the crowd, they’re great emcees, and were overall very enjoyable to work with. I agree with all of those things!
We worked with Alan specifically and he was wonderful. He provided his professional opinion when we asked for it, but was also very flexible and open to us doing our own things. He was a great emcee: pronounced everyone’s name right, played all of the right songs, made good transitions between events. And was a really great DJ; the dance floor was packed throughout the entire event (which is exactly what we wanted) and he did a good job mixing up oldies and more contemporary dance music. The price was very reasonable, and the service was great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Alan was an awesome DJ and really helped make our wedding special. After talking with a few other DJs we chose Alan due to, not only such a reasonable price, but his fun personali...
ty and his experience not only as a DJ but as an MC.
Alan really has the planning process down. His website had a bunch of tools to help us plan not only the music but also the overall schedule and flow of the event. In addition Alan is thoughtful in giving feedback and pointing out blindspots we may have missed in our timeline.
When discussing our music for the reception we decided to just provide a few guidelines and must play songs then trusted Alan to feel the crowd out for the right timing and type of music to play. Leading up to the wedding Alan remained responsive and handled last minute changes with ease.
When the big day came Alan did not disappoint. Alan was able to keep the crowd moving and was extremely flexible even when a last minute request came for music not in his catalog. As an MC he had the right amount of engagement, guiding people with important announcements while keeping things light and fun, the vibe we wanted for our wedding.
Alan worked hard to deliver an amazing wedding and I would highly recommend him.
JJ was the best!!!! Very professional and knows exactly what he is doing. He asked detailed questions, some I never even thought of! We got to submit an entire list of songs we wan...
ted played and then just told him to go from there. He kept the dance floor busy all night long and helped us stick to our timeline, choosing the perfect songs for every part of the day (ceremony exit, bridal party entrance, cake cutting, etc!) We are so happy we went with a Alan Waltz Entertainment!!
What a fun company!! Alan is a treat to work with! Professional and kind. He genuinely cares about crafting a personal experience for his clients. Lots of variety to choose from in...
terms of music style - which is great because I had to please my conservative midwestern family, my fiance's latin, east coast and hip-hop loving side, plus all our 80s babies friends. Whatever I wanted, he could offer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
We hired Alan for our Nestldown wedding in 2014. He did a really fantastic job. I've seen some wedding DJs who make too many announcements or play too loud or don't know how to rea...
d a crowd. Alan really makes the day about you. We gave him a list of example songs we liked for different parts of the night and the music was absolutely perfect in volume and style. Excellent song changes (our guests did not leave the dance floor until our exit). He's a great emcee and he's got all the lights and equipment needed for a fun party. I hear he recently got a photo booth also, but we didn't use it. He is very responsive and clearly cares about making sure your wedding turns out the way you want. He is polite, professional, and I highly recommend him!
The music was great! There was something for everyone, and I couldn't stop dancing. We had such a good time, and the guests really enjoyed when you got out and led them in dances. ...
It was a real fun party! Thank you so much!

I can't think of anything that would have made the night better. Everything about the DJ Alan assigned us was professional from the pre-event meetings that we requested to the nig...
ht of the reception.
The event went as great as I could have ever hoped for. The music and the flow the entire night was unforgettable. I appreciated DJ Reggie going over the allotted time a little to satisfy the party hungry crowd. I'm sure that is a fine line to straddle to please the crowd and the event staff.
Alan played a good variety of music. Everyone danced and had a great time. His up lighting looked awesome and really made the room pop!
RJ and his team really exceeded my expectations. We forgot our laptop at home with our slideshow and retrieving the laptop cause changes in the timeline. Big kudos to RJ and his te...

DJ assistants were fun and taught dances to guests. Photo booth was awesome/easy to use with many props. A+ excellent DJ group, would love to work with again in future :)

Alan was a great entertainer and truly made our wedding reception an event that we will always remember! Highly recommend Alan for any wedding!
Thank you so much for DJing our wedding! We loved the music! Excellent work choosing songs to set the mood. We especially liked the slack key guitar during cocktail hour. Of course...
, dancing was tons of fun, too. Thanks for making the planning process easy, even from afar. Our wedding was even better than we could have hoped for, and we thank you for helping it all happen! Do let us know if you're in Honolulu.
Alan was great to work with. Helpful throughout the process and helped thing through the details of our big day. He picked a great DJ for our event and everyone loved it!
I have been to many weddings and it is obvious that a DJ can make or break it. Being a destination wedding, I was worried that I would not find a good DJ. After looking around on...
line and reading some reviews, I decided to call DJ Alan. It only took 10 minutes on the phone to know that he would be perfect for my wedding. He knew exactly what I wanted before I could even say it. Dancing was my main focus for my wedding and DJ Alan knew how important it was to me. I even threw him a curveball two weeks before the wedding and told him about a secret dance my Dad and I wanted to do. Even though we were only able to talk about it over the phone, he executed it flawlessly! I would highly recommend DJ Alan to anyone who wants their dance floor to be filled all night! We had such a blast and all of my guests kept talking about how great the DJ was. Thanks DJ Alan!
Alan Waltz exceeded my expectations as DJ, MC, and sound at my wedding and reception. Alan was also terrific helping me to plan. The day of was flawless. Alan is professional as MC...
to help guide things like toasts and cake cutting. As DJ he is exceptional. He had a group of non-dancers on the floor all night. He interacted with the kids who, a month later, are still talking about the dance moves he taught them. The music was exactly as requested. And where I relied on his judgement he delivered appropriately. I cannot imagine a better DJ. I back this up with the countless glowing comments from my guests about Alan during and after the event. 5 stars, thumbs up, highly recommended, will definitely work with Alan again!
Top marks to you and your assistant, and thanks again for your work during our wedding. You were great in the lead up, setting expectations, and also going above and beyond during ...
the event. We have been getting rave reviews on the song playlist during the party, you really have the knack for reading the dance floor.
RJ was an Amazing DJ and got along with all ages of our guests. We received so many compliments about the music that people thought he was one of our friends. We would hire him ag...
ain in a heartbeat and recommend him to all all the people we know getting married.
Alan did a fantastic job as the DJ/MC for our wedding ceremony and reception. We spoke on the phone early on while my wife and I were deciding on our DJ and Alan gave us advice on ...
things to consider in the selection process that we weren't thinking about. We had a couple meetings at the event venue to discuss logistics and our requests for the reception, and Alan made suggestions about our timeline for the day which we found very helpful. Alan was even able to attend our rehearsal to meet everyone and do the walk through. The ceremony went exactly as planned, as did the reception. We discussed our music preferences with Alan and he was able to feel out the crowd and made great music selections for the dance party at the reception. Everything was fantastic and sounded great, and Alan knew how to get the energy going. On top of that, everything was absolutely worry free and we always felt like we were on the same page as Alan.
Can't say enough about Alan waltz. Perfect combination of professionalism and levity. We did our event at an air museum, and he dressed up as an airline captain and made announceme...
nts throughout the event like a pilot. You can trust him to select the right music for the occasion. One time, people were starting to wander off the dance floor, but he brought them enthusiastically back with some cool group dance song. Really well in tune with the crowd. And the final song was phenomenal. Couldn't have asked for a better send off than Journey.
Everything overall was great. We felt that Alan understood perfectly the atmosphere we were aiming for based upon our requested song list, which was our main concern overall. He se...
emed to work well with our wedding coordinator, was extremely helpful in planning, and was on time with everything we asked him to do. Overall, we were happy to have Alan there as the entertainer.

't leave the dance floor!
Alan was incredibly professional, fun, and skilled. I felt incredible knowing that he was setting up for the ceremony and reception while I was getting ready, and I didn't have to worry about a thing.
During the planning, Alan's communication was fantastic, and he returned my emails and phone calls quickly. He even called the day before the wedding just to see how I was feeling and to reassure me about everything. Highly recommend.
Alan was the perfect DJ and emcee for our wedding reception at Hiller Aviation museum. Meeting with him, I felt like he knew exactly what to do so we didn't have to come up with pl...
ans or micromanage our reception. Alan is a licensed pilot, and came to our gig in costume and in character. Awesome! The music was spot- on, we told him what artists we liked and who not to play, and he knew exactly what to do.
He was well- prepared and had was flexible to our parameters. We wanted to enjoy the party and wanted to hire some one who we could trust to run the lights and music on (almost) auto- pilot (pun intended). He brought along RJ was was awesome and danced and partied with us too.
Bottom line: professional work at a very fair price. Would definitely recommend
