Best Deal of the Year! | Ends 9/29 25% off all services! | Learn more: https://www.bellagala.com/pages/bellagala-promotion Planning a wedding and narrowing down which vendors are right for you can be exhausting. We understand! When you search for wedding DJs, the results can be overwhelming. And once you have your list, you have to continue researching to check out their style, reviews, availability, cost, and more. But with so many wedding DJs in Minneapolis, it will take you a lot longer that that to get one hired. So - is there an easier way to find my wedding DJ? YES! At Bellagala, we believe that every couple deserves a party that their guests will be raving about for months, maybe even years. So, stop searching and connect with us! We already did all the interviewing, and researching to find the best wedding DJs in the Twin Cities, and we did it to make sure your wedding planning experience is easy and stress-free! Everyone doesn't have the necessary skill set to DJ a wedding. When you book a DJ through Bellagala, you can be sure that all of our DJs have passed a thorough certification course before working at any event. Understanding how to play to a crowd, coordinate an event, and keep people dancing takes a specific skill set and is one that our DJs are specially trained to develop and utilize. It is so much more than just playing music. It's knowing how to mix songs and announcements together so the event flow never stops, and how to communicate with and engage your guests, so they want to dance. Most importantly, it is making sure that the couple's needs and expectations are being met, and your reception is running seamlessly to deliver an experience that you will never forget.

DJ Kristopher was awesome and kept the dance floor packed until time ran out. He did a great job balancing songs from our playlist, song requests, and songs he knew would be crowd pleasers - and was overall just a fun guy. Bellagala was easy ...
to work with, and the price seemed to be as good or better than all others I looked at. Highly recommend!
Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without our incredible DJ, Shane! From the moment the music started until the very last song, our dance floor was packed, and the energy was electric.
What truly stood out was Shane's ability to read the ...
room and adapt to the crowd's energy. He knew exactly when to slow things down for a romantic moment and when to crank up the beats to get everyone moving.
Throughout the planning process, Shane was incredibly easy to work with. He was attentive to our requests and preferences, making sure that our wedding had a unique and personalized soundtrack. He took the time to understand our vision and delivered beyond our expectations.
Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had at our wedding, and a big part of that credit goes to our phenomenal DJ.
If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to keep the dance floor alive and make your wedding reception a party to remember, look no further. We can't recommend Shane highly enough.
Thank you, Shane, for adding the perfect musical magic to our wedding day. You're a true superstar!
Sincerely, Emily and Connor Miene
We had Brad and he was absolutely wonderful. We were very unorganized and had our meeting with him the day before the wedding and he was able to put together the most amazing playlist with such a short amount of time. Not to mention he had such...
good energy during the whole wedding, he really got into the songs, which was so fun, and he took requests (as long as they were appropriate) :) I would absolutely 100% recommend Brad for your next event!
Any questions?
We had Jocelyn. She was amazing! she knew all the right things to do and say to get people on the floor and participate.
Brad was awesome! He really seemed attentive to the sort of experience we were looking for and we have gotten compliments all summer on how great the dancing was. He was sure to play all of our special request songs, you can tell he really paid...
attention to our playlist and the whole experience felt curated just for us. The energy was kept up until the end of the reception and that was definitely thanks to Brad. Highly recommend!
Greg K was such a joy to work with! He was so patient and kind with all of our guests! People are still telling us how great he was! Thank you Greg for making our wedding music absolutely exceptional!
We lucked out with JD as our DJ! From the first chat we had over the phone I felt confident that he would be perfect for our wedding day. He listened to our ideas for the day and made sure the everything went smoothly! One of my biggest wishes ...
for our day was that everyone would be out dancing, and boy, did JD make that happen! We highly recommend JD!
Our DJ we hired from Bellagala was incredible. Derek was responsive to texts and emails regarding our wedding. He set up a phone call a few days before the wedding to confirm final details and make sure our day was perfect.
The day of the wedd...
ing Derek went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was smooth and all of our requested music was played. Unfortunately we also had some family issues, but Derek handled it professionally and took care of the issues so we didn’t have to worry about it. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, professional DJ to be a part of their wedding. 10/10 stars
Daniel was our DJ and from the first time we met him we were reassured. He was so good at coaching us through all of the little details that you just don't know if you've never planned a wedding. He came across as incredibly competent and perso...
nable and was always putting us at ease. Would recommend him to anyone.
Aaron was our DJ and he did a phenomenal job. From the second he arrived he got to work introducing himself and meeting with my coordinator. He did an awesome job with dinner and speeches and kept our dance floor PACKED the entire night. My hu...
sband and I were very impressed with how well he interacted with our guests. Would definitely recommend Aaron!!
Daniel was our DJ and was extremely fun to work with! He was amazing at not only keeping people on the dance floor, but making sure the sound was good for the speeches, gave our guests updates & information about shuttles & events such as the s...
parkler send off, where the photo booth was, etc. He is super goofy yet extremely professional. We highly recommend him!
The company itself was so professional, punctual, and helped answer all my questions! Mike our DJ was AMAZING! We had people on the dance floor for EVERY SINGLE SONG! We were so impressed with how smooth everything went, thank you!!
We had DJ JD, Jacquez Diaz. From our personal requests for the day to keeping the party going on the dance floor, I couldn’t say enough about him! He made our night one we won’t forget!! We highly, highly recommend Jacquez as your DJ!
Our DJ a was Jacquez/ JD and he was amazing!! He was in contact with us the week before the wedding to go over final details - for us this was huge as we had a few important details.
During the reception he had such great energy and played al...
l the songs we requested prior to the event. Very professional and attentive to our needs. Would definitely recommend him for any wedding!!
Daniel was awesome and easy going! Music was the hardest part for me for the day of and Daniel made it stress free! He easily reads the crowd that is dancing on the dance floor and is very attentive. PS - order the uplighting!!
We worked with DJ Ryan Johnson aka RJ. He was great and very coordinated with the rest of our vendors. He listened to our requests and worked wonders both for our ceremony and for our reception. We had an outdoor ceremony and an indoor receptio...
n and RJ was able to set up both inside and outside to get all of the audio and lights working. He was an amazing DJ who got the guests going on the dance floor. Easy to work with and knowledgeable on his music.
We worked with Daniel P. - we had seen some wonderful reviews and booked with him specifically. He was really friendly, professional, and fun! He had everything under control, and helped us keep our reception on schedule. Before the wedding we ...
had a few phone calls to talk about what we wanted, and he helped guide us when we were stuck- he even trimmed and edited a couple of our first dance songs to make them just right. Our guests were dancing all night long and we wished we had booked him for longer!
Everything went great! Our DJ Héctor was amazing! We’re an interracial family so we needed a bilingual DJ that could deliver services in Spanish and English and he delivered! He was easy to communicate with, made it easy to get him our playlist...
and he kept our guests and ourselves dancing throughout the night. He was so flexible with everything and kept a smile on his face no matter what curve ball was thrown his way. HECTOR! Thank you so much for making our night fun and not stressful! Def recommend him!
Derek helped make our day super special! He was personable & fun, great to work with when it came to organizing everything, our guests were dancing all night & he even let us join him for a some mixing during the dance too. We’d highly recommen...

Our DJ was Daniel Paszak and he was AWESOME! He was super reponsive and accomodating in the lead up to the event, he met with us months in advance and made sure we felt super comfortable with gameplan, then we met twice before the big day and n...
ailed down the specifics. He played perfect music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and grand march and then he crushed it when it came time to dance the night away. He did a great job on the first dances, and the last songs of the night and even played a "one-more-song" song that got everybody hyped at the end of the night. Daniel is a great DJ and we would definitely work with him again!
Ryan Johnson “RJ” was assigned to our wedding by Bellagala to provide his DJ services and we are nothing but impressed with him! RJ had excellent communication throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding. He was willing to help at a...
ll hours of the day when random questions would come up. The day of, RJ showed up well before the ceremony to ensure everything ran smoothly– he set up his sound system, talked with us and our wedding day coordinator, and touched on final details before the day got too crazy. RJ was willing to make any announcements and take requests from our family and friends throughout the night. We received tons of compliments from our guests talking about how they loved the music selection, the transitions, and the overall environment that RJ created and we couldn’t agree more! RJ even got dressed up for our event and looked very classy. If we would do it again, RJ would be our guy! 1000% recommend! :-)
Hector was absolutely amazing! The dance floor and how full/fun it is mattered so much to us. Hector exceeded our expectations! He kept us on schedule, helped to manage around small changes, continuously played bangers, and played songs in a or...
der to maximize fun. He was incredibly professional, communicative, and helpful! He would check in with us to make everything run smoothly. I highly recommend Hector for any wedding!
We had Daniel P as our wedding DJ and it went great! The dance floor was busy all night, he kept everyone involved and was very detailed oriented!
We had a super fun night with Daniel. He had perfect timing with all of my song choices and played the music on the dance floor exactly how I’d hoped he would. I would highly recommend.
Our DJ, Daniel, was wonderful to work with! He was kind, professional, attentive, and a great hit! Everyone loved him and he was good at reading the crowd. He gave some great game recommendations at our consultation too that we and all our fami...
ly and friends ended up loving! Would highly recommend.
Our DJ, Tim Leutbounshou was amazing to work with! Tim is professional, flexible, communicative and has been an absolute joy to work with and get to know! He cares a lot and is very passionate about what he does which is wonderful. He provided ...
excellent guidance and suggestions and was also very patient even when we were indecisive at times. Tim is awesome!
We had Shane Johnson DJ for our wedding and we were so happy with him! I was able to read the room and adjust to our needs. He helped us through the process and played all the songs we requested no matter how nerdy or childish! My husbands favo...
rite part was when a star wars reference was made and the next song Shane played was the cantina band song. Shane was overall amazing and I would 10/10 recommend hiring him!
Daniel P. Was such a highlight of our wedding night. He worked smoothly throughout the day and ensured all our desires were met throughout the evening. Thank you for what you do!
I want to first off thank Bellagala as a whole, as I received countless compliments on the attentiveness and care of our team from our wedding guests. Specifically, we used Derek C as our wedding DJ, he was so much fun to work with and made the...
whole experience amazing. He had my guests dancing until the very last song.
We had Shane Johnson (DJ Chime) as our wedding reception DJ and run out of adjectives to describe what an amazing experience we had in the planning of our songs, Shane's timely communication, the amazing set list he curated, his quick responses...
to our guest's requests, and his overall positive and fun demeanor! We would recommend hiring him over and over again! We even had a SUPER last minute change for our first dance (because Taylor Swift released it that morning!!) and Shane was super accommodating and made all of our dreams with the song come true! Such an awesome experience! Hire Shane!
We had Daniel P as our DJ and had the best time on the dance floor! Daniel is very organized and thorough at his job. It was great offering music suggestions but also nice trusting the DJ to play good songs. Would Recommend Bellagala for your n...

Our DJ, Daniel Paszak, is the best DJ anyone can ask for. He is extremely organized and efficient, and he also is very receptive to questions. His choice of music was impeccable, and his remixes are to be emulated. Planning for weddings is alwa...
ys challenging, but he made our process significantly easier. During the wedding day, he was able to transition between major events with ease. He was also very easy to find during the wedding day, and he also came very prepared with all necessary electronic equipment and more. We strongly recommend him for other couples in the future.
Our DJ, Shane Johnson, did a fantastic job!! He was incredibly professional throughout the entire process, from our initial phone calls to making a few last minute adjustments day of. It was very easy to communicate with him on what we wanted f...
or the reception, and he went above and beyond. His DJ skills are incredible, he gave us exactly what we wanted.
Dealing with a prepackaged set of vendors through bellagala was easy, but also left me feeling unsure about the quality of services we were about to get. Nevertheless we went through with it and let me just say they blew us out of the water!! O...
ur DJ, Daniel, was the kindest, coolest, and most caring DJ I have ever had the privilege of working with. He went above and beyond at every chance he got. We had a multicultural wedding which included many different names, dances, music, and much more. Daniel made sure that everyone's names were pronounced correctly, and that everyone was included. He also kept my husband and I in the loop when the family tried to change things or when things were delayed. We were comfortable and enchanted with the entire process. It could not have gone better. We wanted to take the time to review our vendors because of how amazing they were and how much fun we had because of him. I cannot say enough good things about him! Thank you so so much Daniel for making our day so smooth, fun, and effortless it was so much fun seeing you enjoy the wedding and having you party with us! We are so very grateful for everything you did and we wish we could do more than write you a review. You are AMAZING!!
I was really worried about our DJ during the planning process. Shane quickly settled my nerves. He listed to us and acted accordingly. During the day of he kept everything moving along and my guest loved him and had so much fun. Great value and...
service for the price. I would recommend him. The only suggestion I could have given is that my guests requested a lot of slow songs and he catered to that (which we told him to take requests, but if they were dumb ones to not play them). My guests loved it. I maybe would have played a few less of the slow songs. Overall I was very happy
We hired Steve Ly as our DJ for our wedding ceremony & reception. He was amazing to work with from start to finish! Easy to talk to, excellent communicator, professional, just an all around expert. We’ve already recommended Steve to some of our...
friends for their wedding!
Creating a playlist felt like a daunting chore to us, but Steve had great ideas & took on all of the work for us! We gave him a few ideas of songs/genres we enjoy, and he expertly crafted a mix for the entire night that was PERFECT based on the very few song ideas we shared. 10/10 recommend.
We had the privilege of working with DJ JD, Jacquez Diaz, for our wedding on June 30th! He was honestly an 11/10 DJ and we are so appreciative we got him! He made sure to ask us all the right questions before when we met with him and executed o...
n all our special requests on our big day. He kept the party alive from start to finish and we received so many compliments from our guests about how good the DJ was. 100% book DJ JD, you will NOT regret it!
Our DJ was Steve Ly and he did an amazing job! We had multiple friends tell us our wedding was one of the best they've ever been to and Steve was definitely a huge part of that, he had people dancing all night long until the venue closed!
We had Shane Johnson as the DJ for our wedding and he was awesome! He was really easy to work with, helped us figure out the details and logistics from ceremony to reception, played great music, and kept the energy up all night. The Bellagala t...

We had Hector as our DJ. He was good keeping the party going. His bilingual skills worked perfect on our bilingual party. Hector knew what to do and kept the guess entertained during the whole celebration.
Shane Johnson was incredible! He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Everything was seamless from start to finish including ceremony music, speeches, special dances, and the list goes on! Shane was super helpful before, during, and ...
after our wedding! He took the time to walk us through our wedding day and got to know us to better understand the vibe we were going for along with our vision for the day. He found the perfect balance between following the playlists/vibe we wanted while remaining flexible by reading the room and working in requests from guests! Our dance floor was constantly packed! All of our guests loved him and he brought such a great energy to the party! We want to have another party, so Shane can work his magic again! We cannot say enough good things about Shane, we highly recommend him to everyone for any celebration!
Hector was amazing! He was professional and very responsive to our request. He was great about reading the crowd and taking request. I could not have had a better experience for my wedding day!
Our Bellagala DJ was fantastic! Leading up to the wedding Derek was so responsive—we knew we were in good hands! He was so great with the crowd and played everything we needed to hear to make it a special night!
Would definitely recommend boo...
king Derek for your wedding!
the planning process was easy enough. DJ was professional and contacted us prior to the event. Spent a lot of time on his phone.
Missed the family dance with bride, groom, daughter. Did not seem engaged.

Second, on the actual day of the wedding, he was incredibly competent at everything he did and was able to seamlessly incorporate music requests, choose music that fit the vibe, and help us throw the greatest party ever. We couldn't imagine our wedding without Derek as the DJ and are extremely grateful for him and his services. We can't recommend him highly enough!
We booked Derek as our DJ through Bellagalla and he was awesome! He felt the vibe of the room, was great interacting with our family and our little cousins, and kept people dancing all night long. Highly recommend - thanks, Derek!

Chris was very easy to work with and did a great job with our reception music! Our family and friends were busting moves all night on the dance floor. He even helped with a special request I had for my daddy-daughter dance.
Shane was fantastic! He was one of our suggested DJs and he was the perfect choice! Shane touched base with us and gave us some suggestions on how to fill out our playlist. We pretty much gave him free reign and everyone was happy with the requ...

unning around taking "table photos" as fast as we could. But the best part was his skill at keeping the dance floor going all night. He has great crowd intuition and after an 8 hour reception the dance floor was still packed and the crowd was calling for an encore! Hire Daniel if you want and unforgettable wedding and dance party for your family and friends!
DJ Steve was super easy and fun to work with! He also played great tunes at the reception.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because although we provided him with an extensive playlist for the reception, we didn't hear much from it thr...
oughout the night (he took a lot of creative liberties -- to his credit, they all were great for us younger folks) but a lot of the older crowd wasn't enticed to dance because a lot of the music played was more modern. We also supplied him with a list of things we wanted to do during the night (announce we had a phonebook for guests to leave a message for the bride and groom on, wanted to do a dollar dance and bouquet toss) and none of these came to fruition.
That being said, he overall was great with his music selection and everyone said they enjoyed his energy and vibes.

Hi Lucy, thank you for taking the time to share your experience working with Steve with us. We are sorry to hear that details were missed throughout your night. We have shared your feedback internally as we are always working to improve. We are...
so happy to hear you did have a fun time celebrating! Congratulations again!
We worked with Steve Ly of Bellaga for our wedding in May 2023 and were beyond impressed. Steve made the whole process seamless, from an initial intro planning call to the day of execution. We were so impressed the energy he brought and the nig...
ht would not have been the same without him. All of our guests had fantastic things to say about the music. Steve brought the party. We are so grateful for Steve and would highly recommend him to anyone looking.
Derek was our DJ for our 5/6/23 wedding and we can't say enough how great he was! When there was a last minute change to add services to the cocktail hour (my bad with not communicating!) he immediately switched gears and set up in the cocktail...
area and played jazzy/chill music. All of our family and friends were impressed with how relaxed and attentive he was. One of the biggest things I wanted for the reception was to play guest request songs and he was awesome at immediately switching up the playlist to make sure the requested song was played next. Everyone kept saying it was their favorite wedding they've been to and I know we can attribute a lot of that to Derek! If you're looking for a fun and awesome DJ to work with, Derek is definitely the right person!
Shane J was an absolute rockstar of a DJ for our wedding day. One of our primary goals for the wedding was a fun dance floor, and Shane took many steps throughout the process to ensure we met that goal. He had several calls with us throughout...
, and clearly prepared before each one, offering notes, providing suggestions to build on our playlists, and asking questions to help clarify our vision. On the day of the wedding, he ensured the ceremony music went off without a hitch and took all the right steps during the reception to read the crowd and ensure we were keeping everyone happy and dancing. We could not recommend Shane enough as a DJ and part of your wedding day!
Daniel P was the BEST DJ to have hands down! He will make your friends and family dance, and have the time of their lives. He made the whole day so memorable! So happy to have him at our big day!
We hired Bellagala for our DJ services for our wedding in April. Our DJ, Shane J. was amazing to work with! He communicated with us throughout the whole process, offering suggestions and themes that he’s seen from previous weddings as we were p...
lanning. We also had a meeting with Shane a couple weeks before the wedding to finalize our schedule and note any special requests that we had for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he showed up early and helped us coordinate a dry run with our music for the ceremony and got the officiant mic’d up and tested the microphone with him. Shane also did an amazing job at reception of checking in with us and keeping us on schedule. He fit very nicely with our personality/style for our wedding. We didn’t have a ton of music requests on our playlist, so he did an excellent job of filling the gaps and adapting to the music genre to keep people out on the dance floor. I would highly recommend Shane as your DJ for your wedding!!
We hired Bellagala for our DJ service for our wedding. When I say Derek and Zac were the best decision we made for our wedding, I truly mean it. Derek offered advice throughout the planning process and seemed genuinely excited to be a part of o...
ur day. Zac was newer to the industry, but we wouldn't have ever guessed it. He seemed just as comfortable behind the booth as Derek. As a team they read the room for when people wanted to mingle vs when they wanted to get down on the dance floor. They helped make announcements, coordinated with other vendors, dismissed tables, and went with the flow throughout the day. They were inviting to our guests when they made suggestions (ever when we asked them to play Cyclone by T Pain and Baby Bash for the fourth time). They helped make our wedding one that will go down in history (I'm not biased or anything). Book with Bellagala and pay the extra money to request Derek or Zac, it's worth it.
We loved working with our DJ, Shane J., and highly recommend him for creating a fun, welcoming and smooth wedding music experience. Shane was professional and responsive in all communications and collaborated with us to ensure the sound quality...
and music for both our ceremony and reception were perfect.
We had a live singer/guitarist perform during the ceremony and she sounded amazing hooked up to Shane's sound system. We gave Shane a general idea of preferred music styles for the social hour and dinner, and he created fantastic playlists to match. We were pretty specific about the music we wanted played during the dancing portion of the ceremony and he made sure all the songs flowed well based on different beats, genres, etc.
Everyone had a fantastic night. If you're looking for someone friendly, professional and thoughtful in their approach, Shane's your guy!
Our DJ, Daniel, was absolutely amazing. He was so easy to work with and so much fun. The music was perfect, he answered my millions of questions without getting annoyed, and he made all the decisions when I was burnt out. Daniel has so much kno...
wledge and can adapt to any and every situation.
Daniel is an excellent DJ & we cannot recommend him enough after our NYE wedding! He was definitely the most thorough and thoughtful vendor we worked with—he is extremely detail-oriented, has the knowledge to ask about scenarios I hadn't even c...
onsidered, and came to the venue early on the day of our wedding to meet individually with our officiant, photographer, videographer, & day-of-coordinators to ensure that the event went as seamlessly as possible—and it did! I am very particular & had specific ideas about how I wanted things done (e.g., announcing transitions from one part of the event to the next, music change when I changed into my second dress, the NYE countdown, etc.) & he was able to execute it all exactly as I envisioned. Our guests could not stop talking about how great our DJ was, & how they wished that the night kept going because the music was so good! One of the greatest gifts you can have as the bride/groom on your wedding day is to not have to worry about your vendor & Daniel gave us that gift!

ed the rest - pulling together a perfect playlist from social hour, to dinner, to dance. We all had a great time dancing and every guest loved the music choices!
Daniel was amazing to work with! He was quick in answering our many questions and made himself available to chat about our day. The day of our wedding, he was professional and kept our party on the dance floor! Our friends and family have an ec...
lectic taste in music and he was able to play songs for everyone. From electronic dance music to country to punk pop, he managed to satisfy everyones tastes. Definitely hire Daniel if you know you have a crowd that likes to dance and have fun!
We had Daniel and he was perfect! Very punctual, easy going, and made the reception fun for all our guests. Made many announcements on our behalf and made our speakers very comfortable leading up to their speeches.
Daniel was the best! He did such a great job of mixing songs for the young crowd and the older crowd at our wedding. He was super easy to work with and our guests loved seeing him bust a move on the dance floor! Hire Daniel if you want to dance...
all night long!
Shane Johnson was an AMAZING DJ. I can't recommend him enough. We booked him through Bellagala for our NYE wedding at A'bulae in Saint Paul, MN. Not only was he receptive to our song requests and the requests of our guest, he played the musi...
c at the right time. He made sure all were dancing and having fun. He made it a priority to meet with us in advance and ensure the ceremony music was set and the officiant had all the technology he needed. I had several guests ask for his name at the end of the night to use for their future events. Many of the guests even started a "DJ" chant at the end of the night to celebrate how awesome he was. We were thrilled with our choice to book Shane!

What a fun way to ring in the new year and a new chapter in life! Congratulations and we are so happy to hear you had a great time celebrating with Shane!
We were very happy with our DJ through Bellagala, Isaiah! We were initially matched with a different DJ who didn't seem to fit our musical interests and Bellagala was quick to make a change after a phone call and we were then matched with Isaia...
h. Isaiah was great to work with from his initial contact, to our virtual meeting, to all the day of details. We wanted a DJ who could serve as a great host and Isaiah was just that! Great communication, worked with the venue to ensure all set up details, carefully reviewed our timeline with us. He played the perfect mix of our playlists, requests, and mixed other great songs in. We highly recommend Isaiah!
Response from the Vendor on 12/28/2022
Amazing! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed working with Isaiah, Emily! He will be delighted to hear you had such great time celebrating!
We worked with Daniel as the DJ for our wedding and he was amazing!! He did the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dance and everyone loved it! He had people on the dance floor all night!
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Woo! Thank you for sharing with us, Abbie! Daniel will love to hear you enjoyed celebrating with him!
Bellagala and our DJ Karon were amazing to work with! Karon was so helpful with music suggestions and made the whole process run smoothly. We would highly recommend Karon and Bellagala for your next event!
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Yay! Congratulations, Nicole! Karon will love to hear you enjoyed working with him!
Our DJ, Brad Coulombe, blew us away. He exceeded all expectations, and brought a lot of energy to the party. Two months later people are still commenting on how good he was and where they can book him. He was worth every penny!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2022
Woah! Now, that is a fun reception, John! Brad will be excited to hear you had a blast celebrating :)
Bellagala and our DJ Steve Ly were very easy and enjoyable to work with for our wedding reception music! Steve was wonderful! He was very responsive and eager to get to know us before our wedding day! Steve was prompt, professional, and energet...

Thank you so much for sharing, Rachel! Steve will love hearing you enjoyed working with him!
We were matched with Jocelyn as our DJ for our wedding and she was absolutely amazing! So many people complimented us on our DJ selection and I think I danced to just about every song. Even during our meeting before the wedding we could tell sh...
e was someone we could be friends with outside of the wedding. She did great with timing and was very thorough in our meeting to make sure she did everything she could to make the reception and cocktail hour everything we wanted. We really enjoyed having her as our DJ!
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2022
That is awesome to hear Mikayla! We are so happy you had a great time working and celebrating with Jocelyn!
We had the best dj for our bilingual wedding, Jacquez Diaz you were absolutely AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding day the best day ever!
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2022
Woo! Congratulations, Mitzi! We are so happy to hear Jacquez helped to make your day amazing!
We had JD as our DJ and he absolutely nailed it! So charismatic and detailed, cool, calm and collected! My bride and I put him up to a tough challenge in playing music for our bilingual (English/Spanish) wedding! But nonetheless he stepped up t...
o the plate and knocked it out the park! He did an excellent job communicating throughout the entire process, was up to date on current popular music platforms (we shared our created playlists on Spotify), and was very accommodating, prepared, and flexible! We highly recommend JD (Jacquez D.) for anyone in the market for a DJ!
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2022
That is Awesome, Nicholas! Jacquez will be excited to hear he crushed that challenge to create a fun time for you on your big day!
Super professional and easy to work with team. Karon was well-organized and clearly provided us with all the information we needed from the outset about what to expect. He provided lots of helpful advice and suggestions about selecting our musi...
c. On the day-of, Karon made sure all things sound-related ran smoothly, including for our ceremony and officiant. In terms of music, he really put in the effort to play the music we wanted, while adjusting to the mood of our guests. He even went the extra mile to play a song in another language that we'd requested for the father-daughter dance, and smoothly transitioned the piece despite not understanding the language/lyrics at all. Karon is also just very fun and amicable, connecting easily with us and our guests!
We had DJ Brad at our wedding and he was AMAZING! He was extremely helpful and considerate of our wants and needs for our wedding. We did have some issues with getting in contact with Brad the weeks leading up to the wedding but when we reached...
out to Bellagala, they were quick to respond and very reassuring. It was important to us to have music that would get people on the dance floor and Brad did just that! Brad was very engaging and you could tell that he has had a lot of experience. In the words of our family and friends.. "DJ Brad KILLED IT!"
We had Max for our DJ and he was simply AMAZING!!!! He played every single song we wanted him too, and he was very considerate of our desire to not have any inappropriate songs playing! He was dancing the whole night behind the booth, took peop...
les requests & his all around vibe was AMAZING. We got soooo many compliments on our DJ throughout the night and the days after! Everyone LOVED him! His attitude and positive vibe had the dance floor occupied all night! I don’t think there was a time that it was completely empty. We also had a huge hiccup in venue moves 30 days before- and as stressed as we were, he made us feel calm and reassured us everything would be ok and we wouldn’t have to worry about anything! We had several phone call meetings to get everything into place, and he took the time to get to know us! He made our night what it was! Highly highly recommend max!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2022
Aww Thank you so much for sharing your experience working with Max with us. He will love hearing through all the stress of pulling things together everything worked out and you had such a great time celebrating together!
Found out day of the wedding that the dj wasn't going to show up ... Got a replacement. Everything started late and half the things that were supposed to be done at the reception never happened.
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2022
Hi Brittany, I'm so sorry that your experience with us wasn't a positive one. If you would like to provide any additional information please contact us directly at info@bellagala.com and we will have someone reach out to you!
Joseph. This man. KILLED THE SET!!!! Our guests were on the dance floor for over 4 hours straight. He was playing banger after banger. Everything went smoothly from the pre ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. He just had the perfect mix fo...

WOAH! Sounds like an awesome time, Hannah! Joseph will be so happy to hear you had a blast celebrating together!
There are not enough amazing things to say about DJ DancingIke!! Isaiah (DJ DancingIke) was THE BEST! He was very flexible with our wishes and had great communication with us all night. He was interactive with the guests and even got on the dan...
ce floor with us a couple of times! He played a great mix of music and took requests from guests. The dancing was probably our favorite part of our day because of Isaiah! I wish we had another big event that we needed a DJ for because we would definitely hire Isaiah again in a heartbeat!! We would recommend him again and again!
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2022
Hi Erin, Your reception sounds like it was a blast! We are so happy to hear you had a great time working and celebrating with DJ DancingIke!
According to guests the DJ spent an hour on the phone because he didn’t know how to get set up. We talked on the phone beforehand and said we wanted country music. DJ said he was good at reading the crowd and would keep people dancing. Proceede...
d to play techno music. Guests would suggest a country song, the dance floor would fill up, then he’d follow it up with another techno song and everyone would leave the dance floor. Didn’t play songs we had on our list. In a form we filled out there was a spot to add songs you wanted that weren’t on their list, he didn’t play a single song from that. Their list of songs you can play are extremely outdated with no new songs within the past 5 years. Played the song we requested as the last song of the night about halfway through the evening. If it weren’t for 2 guests constantly standing next to him requesting decent music he probably would have continued to play crappy songs that we said not to play. Not impressed at all. Had multiple guests tell me what a great reception it was but the DJ sucked. If I could give 0 stars I would.
Daniel did the most amazing job for our wedding. We had a lot of special requests ranging from editing our entrance music, to our Grand March, and our wide array of genre requests along the way and he did a wonderful job exceeding all of our wi...
shes. We had several calls and emails leading up to the wedding to help ease any questions we had and I felt very confident going into our weekend that we were in great hands. I highly recommend Daniel for your wedding, he made our day perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 11/09/2022
Hi Alexa, Congratulations and thank you for sharing your kind words on working with Daniel! He truly cares so much about making sure you have the best day and will be delighted to hear your day was perfect!
We had an extremely disappointing experience with our DJ. We had high hopes after great reviews and the ease of working with client services. The week before the wedding, the DJ switched to Armand. We had multiple issues throughout the night, h...
ere are a few:
1. He played the wrong version of our first dance after we discussed it right beforehand and I had checked that he had it written down correctly. The most important song was wrong.
2. I discussed having him cut songs slowly for the ceremony and fade into another. He stopped one song, there was a long pause before the next.
3. He played songs we did not request, and even after a groomsman and maid of honor gave him the list again, he STILL played songs we did not request. We spent hours crafting a playlist for the DJ to play so we could hear the songs that we love and are important to us.
4. We had requested more interaction for the DJ with the crowd to get people involved on the dance floor, and at points there were only 4 people dancing.
5. During the anniversary dance that we discussed multiple times, he only announced for anyone married for 60+ years to leave the dance floor. No one had been married that long, so no one left yet and he stopped announcing the years. Everyone was looking around waiting for the next section, and he ruined the anniversary dance which was so important to us. He was also looking at me for queues, which he should have been in charge of. The anniversary dance was also played at the wrong part of the night.
The first dance song, anniversary dance and this portion of the night was so important to us, and it was really disappointing to have special moments tainted.
It would have been better connecting my phone to a speaker and the playing music myself.
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2022
Hi Jenny, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience with Armand. We have shared your feedback internally and a member of our team will be reaching out soon.
Where do we begin?! We met Daniel about a year out from our wedding and he was great with walking us through the process and at that moment we knew that we had made a fantastic decision. Leading up to the wedding, Daniel was great with answerin...
g any questions we had via email and his responses would be within 24 hours of us reaching out. In the week leading up to the wedding, we had some changes and adjustments that we wanted to make and Daniel completed each request we had with ease. The day of the wedding, he knocked it out of the park! Most of our guests stayed until the last song was over and Daniel was responsible for keeping that party going! He surprised us at the end with the two most perfect songs which had everyone one their feet having the absolute best time. Daniel was absolutely amazing and was a huge part of our wedding being the best day of our lives! We highly recommend Daniel to make your wedding the party and celebration of the year!
We had a wonderful DJ for our wedding. The young woman we had the day of was Jocelyn and she went above and beyond what we asked for. We are a laid back couple and she added things to our music that we didn't even realize we wanted until after ...
she played them. I would 10/10 recommend her services to anyone looking for a DJ.
Very average DJ. Wanted a party and did not impress us.
We used DJ Karon for our wedding day. We were so excited as he was recommended to us by staff that he was known as one of the best DJs that Bellagala had to offer. We met with him two tim...
es over zoom prior to our wedding as well as filled out our preference form. On the night of the wedding, we were very disappointed by the service we received. We have a group of people with many songs that have important meanings to us, and we had given him a list of songs that were MUST plays during the dance. He completely ignored this request. He made it seem like it was more of an inconvenience that we asked for so many songs to be played. He basically informed us that these songs were not going to be good songs, as they didn't fit into his "sequence" of music playing. However, these were all songs that have been played at other weddings and we know our group better than anyone. We even gave him a 'Do Not Play" artist and he asked me, the bride, in the middle of the dance if he could play this artist even though he knew this was our only do not play request.
Another thing that was disappointing to us was that we did not get the energy we were looking for in a DJ. I commented multiple times that I wanted our DJ to act like he was having a good time and be happy. However, this was not the case. It seemed like more of a burden than an exciting event to Karon. Sadly, this was by far our biggest disappointment in vendor selection. If I could have done it again I would not have hired Bellagala for the DJ service and would not recommend this DJ to other couples.
We went through Bellagala and selected Jacquez (JD) Diaz for our DJ and we couldn't be happier! JD really listened to our thoughts and read the crowd so well. He played a variety of music, sprinkled in some classics as well as modern music. Our...
dance floor was packed the entire night. Not an exaggeration. We had to force people off the dance floor just to do our garter toss. JD was fun, kind, and so easy to work with. If anyone ever asks, we will always recommend JD.
Daniel P. was the BEST wedding DJ we could have ever asked for!! He was very responsive, flexible, personable and we loved chatting with him!! He made sure our guests were happy and was very organized throughout the entire process. I cannot say...
enough great things about him, we truly feel lucky to have had him as our DJ. HIGHLY recommend requesting him as your wedding DJ, you will be happy you did!!!
