DJ Chad is a MUST for any Arrowhead wedding (or any event, really). He was super easy to work with and helped make our important day run so smoothly. He listened to what vibe we wanted and helped capture it perfectly. We shared a bunch of songs we wanted for our cocktail hour and reception, and he did an amazing job of building out a playlist. Our dance floor was full the entire night. He remixed some classic songs to help make them dancier, smoothly transitioned between songs, and worked in on-the-fly requests. He went above and beyond the whole night. During our speeches, he played transition songs between speakers, and he picked songs that related to what the speaker had just talked about. For example, our best man told a story about Home Alone 2, and a minute later, when the speech ended, Chad played the Home Alone theme during the transition. Everyone in the audience realized and loved it. That level of care was indicative of the whole experience. Can't recommend more highly.
Could not have asked for anything more! Chad is an absolute pleasure to work with and CRUSHED IT as our DJ on our wedding day. He made the whole process seamless, was very responsive to all of our needs, and gave us some great tips and ideas to include for our wedding playlist. Hire this team and you will not be disappointed!
I can’t recommend Chad from Arrowhead DJ enough! He was incredibly personable and took a lot of time to sit down and talk with my husband and I about what was important to us on the big day. The music was always phenomenal and he worked with our close friend who performed our first dance song. He met with us multiple times to talk about our music choices and made sure not to add anything we didn’t want. He kept the party going, which is all we could ask for!
Highly recommend booking Chad to DJ your wedding! We got married at Twin Peaks Pine Rose and Chad helped orchestrate the events of the evening by guiding our family to the next event and making sure everyone felt the magic of the speeches and music. Gave us great tips on building playlists and made the process very smooth and stress free. Thank you Chad for everything!
Chad was the DJ for our wedding in September and he was absolutely wonderful!! My dad has drummed all his life and is a massive lover of music and upon our vendor date, I knew Chad had everything taken care of with how well he clicked with us, my dad, and the rest of our family. He had wonderful music suggestions and did great with blending multiple genres cohesively. He does a great job in getting to know his couples and is as great a MC as he is a DJ! We have a handful of introverts in our family, and his music even had them dancing which shocked us all and made for such precious memories in our family. Thank you much for your wonderful talent and expertise in making our wedding a day and night that will forever be cherished by us and our families!
Chad was phenomenal as a DJ. He was so incredibly thorough, a week out from the wedding he gave us a phone call and tips on how to give the perfect speech. He had such a high energy throughout the entire night and made it a truly magical night I will never forget. Thank you!!!
Arrowhead DJ helped us create the perfect vibe for our wedding at Pine Rose,in Twin Peaks, CA. They kept the guests dancing through the evening and we all had a blast!! They we great to work with and even helped me surprise my husband on the dance floor! We will be calling them again!
Chad and Franky were amazing. Extremely communicative, proactive, and experienced throughout the entire process. Chad is an expert at reading the flow of the party and reacting accordingly. Our guests had a great time!
Chad and Franky were Awesome! So easy to work with, played all our favorite songs and even thought of some that fit the character of some of our wedding party speeches.
Definitely recommend!
Chad and Franky were absolutely amazing!! We can not emphasize enough how much they both made our wedding such an amazing day. Chad had us dancing all night and Franky truly made our ceremony come to life. They also surprised us with a heartwarming final song and we tear up every time we think about it. Our family and friends tell us to this day that this was one of the most fun weddings they have been to! Thank you so much, Franky and Chad - you truly touched our hearts <3
Chad did a fantastic job at our wedding! He is engaging and friendly with a great taste in music mixes! Kept the party going through the night and I still have family and friends talking about how great the music was! One of the best DJ's ever!
DJ Chad was such an incredible DJ! I cannot recommend him enough. He listened to exactly what we requested - from song choices, to dance floor vibes, and overall atmosphere. He was well-spoken, friendly, charismatic, while laid back. Everyone kept saying how much fun they had dancing at our wedding, all thanks to DJ Chad!
BEST DJ EVER! Chad and Frankie are incredibly kind, approachable and responsive. The day of the wedding, Chad played a bunch of hit songs with a remix/twist on each of them to keep things active and fun. Never a single dull moment the whole night and we had multiple guests tell us how great he did (and one of my friends is a DJ themself!). Chad even had a surprise for us at the end of the night that had the entire crowd bawling. I wish I could relive the day over and over again. Cannot thank him enough. 100/10 would recommend him.
Chad and his wife did an amazing job making sure they got all the details! Chad was very responsive; and all the music went off without a glitch during our ceremony and reception! Our friends and family said this was the best time they've had at a wedding in a long time - the music was really enjoyed by all and the dance floor never stopped! Hightly Recommend!
We are so grateful for the professionalism, playful personality and sick beats that DJ Chad contributed to our wedding! While in prep mode, he gave helpful suggestions on timing and organization of the whole wedding day, from before the ceremony to the last dance. He listened to every idea, concern and question we had, and was really supportive of our eclectic musical choices. Everything for the ceremony went perfectly, and for the reception, the dance floor was POPPIN' (A main wedding goal of ours)! Everyone mentioned how much fun they had and how this wedding had the most dancing they'd seen in a long time. He seamlessly blended musical styles, guest requests and whatever fit the mood at the moment. DJ Chad was a HUGE reason we loved our wedding so much, and we would highly recommend his awesome services to anyone.
Chad and Franky were incredible! They went out of their way to get to know the groom and bride, and provided a great wedding day atmosphere! Fully recommend for any weddings that take place in Lake Arrowhead such as Skypark where we got married. Thanks!
I was super nervous having a wedding DJ. My experiences at past weddings I've attended with DJs haven't been all that great, but the second I met Chad I was put completely at ease. He is charming, warm, and genuinely seems to absolutely love what he does. He listened to everything we wanted & was incredibly organized & responsive throughout the whole process. We sent him Spotify playlists and Youtube links and he was able to handle all this with ease. I went from not wanting a DJ to being absolutely comfortable with Chad at Arrowhead DJ shepherding the whole night- and even taking requests! That's how good he is! Our night was perfect & all our guests has a blast. We heard nothing but good things. I highly recommend Arrowhead DJ!
Chad and Frankie were beyond magnificent! Even in our first meeting with them, which they drove an hour and a half for, there was an instant kinship. We realized right away they were people we would be friends with even if we hadn't met this way. They communicated regularly and were excited about our music choices, adding in and tweaking. We had so many guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they've been to and the dance floor was full, wild, and fun. Every little quirky thing we wanted to do was enthusiastically supported and enhanced by Chad's musical help. From the flawless timing of the secret song my husband sang in his vows to the live music for our first dance to the silly little things we peppered through the night, every moment was exactly right. This wasn't just a vendor, it was a collaboration, perfectly complimenting our whole evening.
Chad is the BEST wedding dj!! He kept the energy of the reception so much fun! He sends you forms to fill out with your specific songs for the first dance and father daughter and any special songs. Within 1 month of the wedding he calls you to over everything. He just made the whole process from start to finish so easy which was amazing! We couldn’t be more happy with how our wedding turned out. Thanks Arrowhead DJ
Chad was a fantastic DJ! He kept spinning through a crazy, torrential downpour during our (luckily under a tent) reception dinner. He picked great tunes and kept everyone in high spirits. Once the storm passed and we could dance, he kept the party going! Literally tons of guests kept telling me how great the DJ was.
From our first meet, Chad was incredible. His energy and passion was contagious. He made every step of the planning process easy and fun. On the big day, we never had a worry of concern about the music. At some points we found ourselves questioning if Chad had read our mind and choose songs we had not thought of. Our guests had fun and we had a lot of fun as well. Chad was great and we would highly recommend him for your big day!
The best DJ! We got so many complements from our wedding guests on how amazing they were. We were so happy with how well they communicated with us throughout our planning process. Everything ran smoothly, the audio quality, and volume level, was great, and the song selections kept the party going without being over the top. Really appreciated their ability to quickly adapt to every situation...at the last second, my husband and I needed an extra minute before our grand entrance, and Chad quickly jumped into action entertaining our guests until we were ready...nobody even noticed that there was a delay. They made everything as stress free as possible. Zero complaints. Highly recommend!
Prior to Chad my impression of wedding DJ's was simply "let the shuffle play and make a few announcements" but wow, Chad really knows how to get people out on the floor and keep them there! I've been to weddings in the past where the dance floor can clear out and it's like a high school dance trying to get people back on this was not the case with Chad. He was great with requests, keeping our playlist weaved throughout the night, and his stage presence was big and not overbearing really keeping the flow of the event moving! Our wedding venue had a closing time of 10:00PM but the way Chad was spinning songs there wasn't a single person ready to stop dancing. Now stop reading this review, book him, get on a call with him and you'll see what I mean. This guy was made to keep the party going!
Chad and Franky were absolutely perfect, and helped make our wedding so special. From the first meeting we loved Chad's easy-going nature and his eagerness to make every detail personal. He took all of our notes in stride and made a perfect playlist. Then, at the ceremony, he made sure the entire night flowed smoothly and kept everyone dancing all night. Someone mentioned "Soulja Boy" in a speech and in an instant Chad had the song cued up as their exit music. It's little personal touches like that combined with exceptional professionalism that make Chad a perfect wedding DJ. We could not have been happier.
Great DJ! He had everyone on the dance floor all night long and everyone had a blast. I have recieved so many compliments on my wedding because of him. His system was easy to use and he directed my wedding flawlessly.
Amazing DJ!! Chad had the guests on the dance floor the entire time. The photo booth was also a total hit. So much fun!! I would Highly recommend him for a wedding.
Chad with Arrowhead DJ was the party master! He kept the vibe going on the dance floor all night and we all had a blast dancing the night away! We threw him a challenge with our grand entrance and he totally nailed it, both the wedding party and guests loved it so much! He made the flow of the evening and moving guests around to where they needed to be go so well. The online form he has for creating our music playlist, requests, and special songs (first dance, etc) made it easy to stay organized and submit everything to him.
Our wedding day was so perfect!! From the first time we met Chad, we knew he was going to be a perfect fit for our wedding. The website to plan all of our music was user friendly and so easy to work with!!
On our wedding day he made a special shout out to one of my bridesmaids that couldn’t be at the wedding and had everyone say hi to her on the live stream camera!! Everything was perfect. I have to say that I have never heard a closing song quite like his to end the night. I may have held it together all day, but the ending was so incredibly special (and I cried like a baby)!!
Thank you Chad for everything you do. You are truly talented and meant for this business.
Chad was amazing!! We were so happy to have him for our pop up wedding at Pine Rose and are super excited to do the big wedding celebration next year! He was super clear with communication and has his whole process dialed down to a science! The sound was perfect for our wedding (: can’t wait for next year when we can really let loose!
Chad and Franky were such an awesome team for our intimate wedding in Twin Peaks, CA! My wife and I were introduced to Chad and Franky after booking our wedding venue at Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins. They were quick to respond to any questions my wife and I had and made sure that our songs/playlist we had chosen were played at the right times during our special day. Would recommend them to anyone celebrating their wedding day around the Twin Peaks/Lake Arrowhead area!
Chad was absolutely amazing! He had sent us a website where we can input all of the songs we wanted and it was super easy to do! He kept people on there feet and even gave us a little present that was so incredibly meaningful. Chad also has so many incredible add on such as forest lighting for when our venue got dark and it just kept the venue alive. Arrowhead Dj is definitely a 10 out of 10
Chad and Franky were an awesome team! Chad got the timing of our music down PERFECT, queuing me exactly when to walk down the aisle during the chorus. Franky did an excellent job with the ceremony. They were warm, soft and made us super comfortable. Prep with them was very easy and we were able to customize the ceremony to exactly what we wanted. Would highly recommend!
Chad and Franky from Arrowhead DJ were amazing! They were so professional, kind, and organized, not to mention on time and very helpful. They did an amazing job planning how the ceremony took place, helped make sure we had the music we wanted, and basically made our day so special!! I highly recommend them for any special event!!!
Where to even start! We had the pleasure of working with Chad through our venue Pine Rose Weddings. We first sat down with Chad in January 2019 (we had an October 2019 wedding). His communications started with us just months after we had booked our venue though (we booked in July/August of 2018). He provided us with all the tools we could have possibly needed to ensure our guests had an amazing evening. His online platform allowed us to add songs that we would like to hear during certain portions of the evening, then he filled in the rest. He brought our evening to life, the music choices were PERFECT and so us! Let us not forget the bookend song that had more tears flowing than the first dance. I will not spoil the surprise in the event that this is a gift to all of his couples, let me just say, nothing will ever compare to that final dance song choice, and his gift to us! Thank you so much Chad and Arrowhead DJ!! We appreciate you so much!
Be sure to head over to wedding wire and check out the review we left him there and to see the photos of us all dancing our butts off!
I have to admit, prior to our wedding I was a bit concerned with how fun the dance floor would be because we had a smaller guest count and our family and friends are pretty laid back. Man, was I wrong! Chad made our guests feel so comfortable and made our wedding so upbeat and fun! He did a phenomenal job and getting everyone involved and really just set the stage for everyone to have a good time. He had great ideas to get the guests involved and everyone had such a phenomenal time. Even guests who I wouldn’t have thought would end up on the dance floor were dancing their hearts out! My poor aunt said the next day she could barely walk because she was so sore! multiple times during and after the wedding our guests told us what a phenomenal job he did and how impressed they were with him. I will say, as someone who has never been married before nor been to many weddings, I sort of just expected the DJ to play music and that was that, but Chad went above and beyond. He really contributed to making our wedding as amazing as it was and we can tell he has a real passion for what he does. To top it off, he is kind and attentive to your needs and that goes such a long when planning a wedding because things can get chaotic and crazy towards the day of. Lastly, at the very end of the night, Chad gave us a little surprise. I won’t say what it is, as to not ruin it for anyone else he may do the same thing for, but everyone on the dance floor burst into tears and it was such a personal and thoughtful gesture. We cannot recommend Chad and Arrowhead DJ enough. I can’t imagine having anyone else do a better job at helping be a part of the most important day in our lives thus far. Thank you Chad, we hope to cross paths again!
We had Cory as our DJ and he did an awesome job. We didn’t really get to talk before the wedding only though email, but he did an awesome job the ceremony music was perfect and he kept the reception going and was great about requests from the guests.
Arrowhead DJ was fantastic to work with! Chad, our DJ, did an amazing job providing a soundtrack for our day. He also made it extremely easy to plan. They have an online portal to easily access your wedding music and ceremony music. We highly recommend them! Thank you for making our day amazing!
Arrowhead DJ and Events Was amazing. They were very detailed on helping us prep for our wedding and helping us come up with music preferences. The day of the event everything was amazing there was great flow and energy. I would highly recommend them for any event.
Chad and the Arrowhead DJ team were a huge part of our wedding being the best day ever! When your guests say “I already knew this was going to be a great wedding when the guests are dancing before dinner has even started!” you know your DJ is doing a great job! From our first meeting with Chad we could tell he is a very experienced DJ who truly cared about making our wedding day special. His ideas for the day of timeline were perfect, the program he has for us to choose music was easy to use, and overall he was so great to work with! After the wedding, he sent us recordings of the ceremony, speeches, and some thoughtful surprises that will help us remember our special day forever!
We also want to give a shout out to the photo booth! They had great props and an easy to use system that entertained our guests all night! And we loved getting to look at everyone’s photos the next day!
Thanks again to Chad and the Arrowhead DJ team for everything!
Chad and his team were wonderful at keeping the dance floor packed; he listened to our requests, and spiced it up by using music that was similar but that was wide in variety. We could NOT have been happier with the service and how our wedding turned out. The sound during the ceremony, during the reception, and on the dance floor was great, and it created such a fun atmosphere. Chad is wonderful at managing couples' expectations and turning their wants into reality.
Chad was awesome! Easy to work with and kept the dance floor full! He made me a custom mix tape for a mother/daughter dance..it was so good! We also loved the photobooth, it was a big hit at our wedding!
Chad did awesome at our wedding. My now husband and I made some changes to the timeline and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. He really was a great dj/mc for our wedding!
Simply put, I CANNOT recommend this DJ enough! Chad was an absolute dream for my wedding. He was kind, professional, and unbelievably talented. Chad was, in part, one of the reasons I was truly able to enjoy my reception, and let him take care of running the show. He listened to every one of my requests and truly helped my wedding be the wonderful night it was. A strong testament, I believe, were the photos we received from the photographer. I have been in a handful of weddings myself (other than my own) and I have never seen photos of a reception that had as good a time as we did. Chad had us on the dance floor all night, and our photos truly reflected how amazing of a time my guests had. More than that, he saved a special surprise for my husband and me at the end of the night. He digitally recorded our vows for the ceremony and inserted them into our first dance song, and brought us out to dance to it one last time before the night ended. We and our guests had tears streaming down our faces! We were so surprised, and it was truly a special touch that no one had ever seen before. Book this man for your wedding!
Dustin was fantastic to work with from the very beginning! He was constantly available for questions and such a great guy. The actual event went off without a hitch. He kept the music going and the dance floor full. He spoke just enough to convey important info to guests, but most importantly played a great mix of younger and older songs. Thanks so much Dustin, for making our wedding super awesome!
Chad is awesome!
Most of our guests are from overseas; thus, a few songs in our mother languages are needed in order to keep our guests entertained (Mandarin, Korean, and Japanese, etc...). Chad mixed these songs so well that there weren't any conflict between different languages. Our party was filled with happiness and laughter, I cannot ask any more from him. Thank you, Chad!!
Amazing DJ!
We are grateful to have found a true DJ that really enjoys what he does; it shows in the energy he puts on the dance floor. Chad did something special for us during our ceremony - We found an instrumental version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and A Whole New World from Youtube that we liked and wanted to use for the Bridesmaids and me to walk down the aisle. He kindly asked us for the links and offered to fix the sound quality to use for our special day. Both songs sounded perfect. The dollar dance was fun; he had everyone dancing until we had to shut it down.
Thank you, Chad for help making it fun!

Thank you DJ Chad and Franky for all your help in making our wedding day come together. From setting up the Italian cafe lighting a day early to lighting up the mansion the most perfect hue of blue to match our color scheme, to the best MC for our day. A lot of guests have told me that they enjoyed dancing the night away at our wedding and that our DJ was great!
Chad was a great DJ to have on our wedding day. We asked him to play some mash ups and he did a great job listening to our requests. He kept the music changing so we didn't get bored, and everything mixed together really well. As an extra nice touch he even matched his tie with our wedding colors! Thanks Chad.
Chad is awesome! From day one, he was super organized and responsive, absolutely willing to do any crazy idea we wanted to throw into our wedding. His online system for requesting specific songs and organizing your event is FANTASTIC. He helped us with some equipment needs for our ceremony and absolutely nailed our specific song combination (even impressed my musician husband!). He not only kept our night on track and made everything go according to schedule, he made it fun and had a great energy and enthusiasm that really made all the difference. He did a great job reading the crowd and shifting the music to fit the vibe. I have never seen so many guests dance for so long at any wedding ever! It was truly amazing and more fun than I ever thought possible, thanks to Chad and Arrowhead DJ. We made a lot of non-traditional choices and there was only one snafu in keeping track of all of them. Chad handled the entire event, some eccentric / intense guests, and communication afterward with class. I would highly recommend him for any event :)
Our wedding was a blast! Chad was awesome, kept the dance floor full with a variety of music for the wide rage of guests of all ages. He loves and encourages requests which our quests loved. He has a great online set up that allows you to plug in your must plays, never plays, etc. He Mc'd our wedding as well, seeing that everything went smoothly! He is super cool, and we highly recommend!
Chad was absolutely fabulous for our 6/21/15 wedding at Arrowhead Pine Rose. He was wonderful from our very first meeting, just a few days before Christmas. We were so grateful to have him, and he handled change really well! Many of our guests were ballroom dancers, and he helped us coordinate a waltz and swing lesson during cocktail hour and made sure to throw in some ballroom dance songs throughout the night.
We heard nothing but the highest praise from our guests about the music - he read the crowd correctly and our dance floor was never ever empty. It was a wonderful night, and it was obvious from the other weddings that we attended this summer that we were very fortunate with Chad as our awesome DJ!
Chad is a great DJ with great personality and skill. I don't even know how my wedding would have worked without him!
Chad is an awesome dude!
My wife and I recently got married at Pine Rose Cabins Hidden Creek site, and Arrowhead DJ was our music for the evening.
During the course of planning, Chad let me have free reign to plan all the music for the night. And He didn't stray from what we requested.
Now for a DJ to do that is great, but I definitely had some obscure songs requested from Big Band/Swing to Old Blues. Chad played it all. And if he doesn't have it, he will get it. And he did.
The other great addidtion he has available is the photo booth! It was such a hit at our wedding and we got to design the photo card too!
Chad is an awesome guy; he went out of his way and beyond to make our wedding special. Super nice guy who is definitely big on guest service and customer satisfaction.

Chad with Arrowhead DJ was our wedding DJ. We really enjoyed him and would recommend him to others. He made sure to keep to our "must play" list and we really enjoyed everything that he picked, as well. The online form at Arrowhead DJ's website is a really great tool and a nice touch. We felt really comfortable all throughout the day and had an awesome time dancing.
He went out and bought a tie that matched my colors and you could tell he was having a good time and enjoys his job! He totally helped to make our wedding great
Chad & Franky made our days timing completely seemless! Which was very important to us. We didnt want any uncomfortable silences... And they music was a complete HIT! The dancefloor was FULL and the lighting they did for us was beautiful! (glass gobos) They really go over and above taking us to dinner for meeting and coming to rehearsal dinner is really above and beyond! Highly recommend them!
Chad and Franky were just amazing!!! We used them for both DJ and coordination services and we couldn't have been happier with the job they did! They drove from Lake Arrowhead to Fullerton (where we live) to meet with us, even though the wedding was in Lake Arrowhead!!! My now husband and I have pretty different taste in music and Chad played a great mix that made everyone happy. I was so worried that people would not dance, but thanks to our awesome DJ that was definitely not the case. And Franky's wedding coordination was also incredible. There were a few "fires" related to the rehearsal that Franky completely took care of and the day of I was confident that I didn't really have to worry about anything. The whole event was amazing thanks to Chad and Franky!!!
Great wedding day team.
