We booked DJ Shane for our wedding and he did an amazing job! He was great to communicate with prior to the wedding to plan everything. Bellagala's Vibo app also makes it super easy to put together playlists and timelines for every part of the event. Shane did a fantastic job being the emcee for the reception and helping everything stay on time. He played all the music we wanted while also mixing in great suggestions. All of our guests had so much fun dancing the night away until the very end of the night. We'd highly recommend him and Bellagala for DJ services!

We had our wedding at Equestria West at Bavaria Downs and opted to do the Essentials package where our vendors were assigned to us from Bellagala. I was a bit leary about not being able to select our DJ however I was pleasantly suprised when we met Daniel. After our first meeting, I knew we'd get along well and any fears I had were resolved. Daniel was not only professional, but his experience was noticeable. He listened to our ideas and offered his own advice which helped create a flawlessly executed wedding. There were no lapses in flow and when we needed to corralle everyone at times he did an excellent job getting people to the places they needed to be. Added bonus for a Thursday wedding, he kept the dance floor packed! I 100% recommend Daniel! Thank you to Daniel and Bellagala for a wonderful experience!

Words cannot describe how much we recommend Karon with Bellagala Dj. He was SO organized, and helped the day flow beautifully. From cocktail hour, to dinner, speeches, first dance, and through the night - he helped get guests to where they needed to be. He definitely got everyone on the dance floor. We have multiple guests come up after the event to tell us how much they loved him! So much energy, everyone had a blast. I cannot thank him enough!!!

We had the pleasure of having Brandon Nguyen as our DJ, and he did an absolutely incredible job! From the ceremony to the grand entrance and even a custom projector moment during the reception, Brandon executed every detail perfectly.
He was thoughtful, responsive, and communicative throughout the entire process — you can tell he genuinely cares about the people he works with. Even though our wedding was only the second one he’s DJ’d, you would never know it. The music flowed seamlessly, and he had everyone on the dance floor all night.
We’re so grateful for the extra effort he put into making our day special. Highly recommend Brandon for any future weddings or events!

Gerald Nelson was a our DJ and he did a great job. Communicated well with us prior to our big day and respected the playlist I worked super hard on so the different parts of the day! Most importantly, took feedback given in the moment really well. Bellagala in general as a service, was excellent as well. Coordinators are detail orientated and I felt I knew exactly what to expect! We were very happy with the pricing for the package we went with.

Married 06/07/25 - we had Dj Shane and absolutely loved him. He played all of our requests and then some! We have a big Spanish family who loves to dance and he was able to keep the vibes going and had nearly the whole wedding stay to close out the night. Everyone raved about our music and fun from the night! He was super flexible and easy to work with.

Daniel Paszak was the DJ at my husband and I's wedding at the Van Dusen Mansion, and he was *incredible*. Daniel was super communicative prior to the wedding, and had everything running extremely smoothly the day of. He was kind, organized, and did a stellar job DJing! Our guests were dancing all night long, and his music choices were phenomenal. My husband and I have received several compliments following the big day from guests who were so impressed with Daniel. Would highly recommend Daniel for future events! Also, the Vibo app was also super helpful and user-friendly.

We are SO lucky to have had DJ Shane at our wedding! It was amazing to finally meet him in person. From the start, he was friendly, easy to work with, and super accommodating—especially with our last-minute changes and long song list. He kept the energy high and made sure everyone was having a blast on the dance floor! DJ Shane took song requests, flowed between different genres smoothly, and even helped us switch up the ceiling lights to match the vibe. What really made it special? He knows Hmong music! Yesss! That was such a big bonus for our family—our Hmong brothers and sisters were out there dancing all night
Thank you, DJ Shane, for making our night so unforgettable! If you're looking for a DJ who brings the fun, the vibes, and understands your crowd—HIRE DJ SHANE!!

Ryan Johnson was very professional and organized throughout the ceremony, every song was played perfectly.
The reception was great as well, but I had made a wedding playlist and noticed he did not start playing the playlist until I went up to him and asked. I also never got the first slow song I had put on my playlist on vibo. It was Lover (Matt’s Version) I was really looking forward to it, and am still sad it never played. The last dance was supposed to be Daylight by Taylor Swift, guests told me this was not played at the end. I had actually left the dance floor because I was not enjoying the music. The groom had also made a song request during the night, and the dj did not play the groom’s song until 4 songs later. I also had a couple guests tell me he wasn’t very friendly. Because of the error-free music during the ceremony, I am giving him four stars. I’m sad to say I would not recommend him though.

We had Gerald as our DJ, he is a nice guy but wasn’t engaging to the guests, the sound systems kept going in and out so the music would stop playing multiple times and guests were not felt welcome to the dance floor. We did not feel like he wanted to be there.

Book Daniel P!!!!
We were thrilled to have DJ Daniel P as part of our day. He was extremely organized, helpful, and made a point to check in with us throughout the night to ensure that the music was to our liking. We asked him to cover a lot of different types of music in one event and he did a great job covering all of our preferences. We only met with him a few times, but he was very reassuring for our song choices and made sure that we had thought of every detail. He also did an incredible job facilitating the ceremony and helping with speeches. Thank you!

Tre Freeman was exceptional! We are so happy that we used Bellagala DJ services for our wedding! We met on multiple occasions before the wedding to go over our vision and music for the ceremony and reception. On the wedding day, he was seamless and made our event spectacular. He arrived early and conducted multiple sound checks to ensure great sound, he worked with our videographer, and he transitioned perfectly between songs. Microphones sounded clear.
During the reception, he seamlessly incorporated guest song requests (which we wanted, however prior to the wedding he made sure to ask if we wanted to ignore guest requests), played all of our must-plays, avoided our don’t-plays, and filled in the rest of the time with awesome songs that fit in perfectly and kept the dance floor alive the entire time! When it was time for announcements, he picked the perfect points to transition out of songs, and spoke clearly and enthusiastically which got the guests attention. He was overall extremely receptive to everything the bride and groom asked of him during the ceremony.
We could not recommend Tre more!

Shane was awesome! Had a lot of guests compliment the music selection. It was a big space but he had the sound set up nicely where the dance floor could jam out but people could still talk at a normal volume at tables. Good with guest requests and clearly had a main goal of making sure everyone had a good time during our wedding.

We had an amazing experience with Bellagala for our wedding! We purchased a bundle for Floral, DJ, and Photography, and the quality of professionals they provided was outstanding.
Daniel P. was an absolutely incredible DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, he brought the perfect energy, seamlessly handling the music, production, and organization. He is a true entertainer who kept the dance floor lively all night! His ability to read the crowd and keep the momentum going was unmatched. Everything flowed smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. His cues were right on time. If you’re looking for a DJ who will make your wedding unforgettable, Daniel is the one to book!
Highly recommend Bellagala & Daniel P. for any wedding—fantastic service, talented professionals, and a company that truly cares!

Where do we even begin with the amazing service we received from Bellagala and specifically, our DJ Daniel P! Bellagala was recommended to us by a friend, and we are so happy we went with them! Daniel was professional, organized, friendly and amazing at his profession. We met with him in person to meet him and to discuss our ideas for our wedding and seek his advice, and it was a very fun, relaxed, collaborative meeting! He made us feel like everything was ultimately our choice, but that he was ready to step in with his experience and help at any moment. We knew from then on he was going to be great. He worked with our friend who became our officiant to guide him through technical details and the full process. He worked with us the week of the wedding to make sure everything was in order. The day of he was always checking in and confirming things with us and amping our wedding party for us. We received several complements about the music he played and how much fun they had. He definitely read the room and knew exactly what to play! We gave a few must plays, which he did play. People were on the dance floor all night. It was genuinely a great, stress-free time working with Daniel! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lively wedding and someone great to work with!

For the most part the music was great, and flowing. BUT It was not worth my money. A handful of things happened that made me question the professionalism. There was poor communication, leading up to the wedding. She left the booth without telling anyone right after we said we were going to open the mic up for toast. The grooms father started toasting and the music was still on and she had left to get food. All she had to do was tell us she was leaving but we didn’t realize it until she was gone. She didn’t interact with the crowd much at all, it didn’t seem there was a sound check or anything. The music would cut out sometimes. By no means was my night ruined, it just stinks paying all this money to have a below average performance.

Our DJ was Jocelyn, and I am not exaggerating when I say that she is the best DJ I've come across at any wedding reception I've ever been to. She seamlessly blended in our requests from our playlist, the guests requests the day of, and smoothly transitioned from song to song to keep the vibes going. I practically didn't leave the dance floor the entire night because ever song was so good!

Originally wasn’t going to do a review but I’m still upset. Wedding from 10/05/24 and they only refunded us 50% and I have had so many people that attended the wedding tell me I should have gotten a FULL refund for what I had to go through. So even from the start we had some issues with bellagala/Rose our DJ. We had scheduled our call with her a couple weeks before the wedding and she told us we still needed to fill out some profile on bellagala. Which we then did. And then she kept telling us it showed we didn’t fill it out yet. Anyhow I don’t know if that was her fault or not but I would email her back asking for status on the profile and trying to understand what she was trying to say we still needed to fill out. And there would be long delays in her reply. Then we got to like 4 days before the wedding and still had no phone call with her to go over the wedding ceremony details and reception, and I had to email her asking to just call us even though she said we didn’t fill out the necessary profile. We then had our phone call on Wednesday 10/02 and that went great. I thought she handled it well and she told me she was going to show up Saturday around 2pm. Well then Saturday comes and we are all busy taking family photos and at 3:15 we notice she has not arrived yet. And mind you, I had my phone on me the entire day in case someone needed to reach me for any reason. No phone call or text from her saying she was running late. I call her twice, leave a voicemail, and text her wondering where she is. No response at all. Then I leave gabby/bellagala a voicemail. This was 30-40 min before our ceremony where she was supposed to have supplied us with the microphone and music for the ceremony. So my entire family and friends are all scrambling to find microphones and speakers to use last minute. Multiple djs were reached out to since we had no reply. Then bellagala calls me back which I appreciate you sending out the backup DJ but he arrived at 5:15pm. My fiancé and I had to have a ceremony with NO microphone or speaker so it was silent. Not exactly what we had in mind when we had planned our day. Not to mention all the last minute stress we had to deal with. Him and I were all over the place along with our family and friends trying to figure out what we could do. 4pm arrived and we just decided to screw it and do the ceremony without the microphone and speakers.
I will say that Dylan the backup DJ was very professional and he did great. He stayed as late as we wanted. And had to work under the pressure of having no info as to what we wanted so the entire night Alex and I had to keep going up to him telling him what we needed done, and he did it. But had this been a planned DJ like we paid for then we wouldn’t have had to deal with any of the last minute scrambles. It made the night kind of stressful. We had so many people say we handled it greatly and were impressed with us but what else could we honestly do. So like I said, we really liked Dylan and he did great, but ultimately Rose not showing up made the rest of our night kinda a clusterfuck and we would like ALL of our money back just for what we had to go through. I don’t think it is fair we had to go through that on our special day.

He executed everything we asked, including above and beyond details like providing an additional microphone so we could do karaoke and nailed our music. He did a fantastic job emcee-ing the transitions and rocked at announcing the kiss list and facilitating our photos with each table during dinner. The app, Vibo, was a great tool to input our favorite music and include all the special details we wanted. We were super extra about the artists we wanted played and the vibes we wanted based on specific songs- and Ben crushed it. There wasn’t a single song I didn’t love. People couldn’t leave the dance floor all night and were RAVING about the music. Ben was very responsive and flexible when we needed to make changes night of and was very intentional about pronunciation of names and is clearly a master of his trade. He knows how to throw a PARTY!! Our dance floor was gigantic- literally the floor was pulsating. All of our guests CANNOT believe how every song was bop, after bop, after bop!! We couldn’t recommend DJ Ben any higher. Glowing reviews!! 5 stars!! ⭐️

Hey Jocelyn,
We just wanted to reach out to let you know we were blown away by your professionalism and DJ skills for our wedding!
We were nervous and overwhelmed trying to choose all the music, but you helped guide us through planning and made it fun!
We thought it was awesome that you liked EDM and helped us incorporate it into our special night. You did a fantastic job at creating a Playlist for an older and younger audience and filtering out our guests crazy song requests.
Not only did you nail the music, you also rocked at the other dj responsibilities. Microphone handoffs were easy and without any issues. Your announcements were clear and provided us relief from the clinking glasses, so we could actually eat our dinner.
Of course, our reception wouldn't have been as big of a hit without your incredible job mixing the acoustic and original mixes of our favorite song for our first dance.
We got several compliments for the music and the mixing! Thanks for making the night memorable, it was such a blast!
Thanks
Matt and Nicole Meuwissen

I cannot recommend DJ Daniel P enough! His energy and humor were a joy to be around during both the planning and the day of the event. During the planning stage we had some questions and options we needed to decide between (from things as simple as microphone logistics between toasts based on our floor plan to how best to shorten our first dance songs) Daniel offered valuable guidance based on his experience and everything went perfectly day-of. We talked through our preferences for the day and he stuck by them to the letter. He also checked in with us at multiple points throughout the night to make sure we were happy with how things were going. We had ~170 guests and our dance floor was busy the entire night! There were no lulls, and he shifted with the energy perfectly throughout the night.
We're still getting comments from guests about how the music, energy and dancefloor environment were the best they've seen and I think that is in no small part due to Daniel being our DJ. If you have the option- book him for your wedding!!

We had DJ Andrew with Bellagala and he was great! I was a little unorganized at the start, but he was patient and answered all of my questions through email (even though the answers were clearly worded on the website). He checked in with us frequently throughout the event and was kind and easy-going. Bellagala was so easy to use, I highly recommend!

We LOVED working with Chesica! She communicated with us so well before the event, played all of our requests (no matter how off-the-wall they were), and played a crucial role in creating a great atmosphere for our guests. We also appreciated how well she directed the flow of the day and handled the logistical aspects of our wedding. The day went so smoothly, and Chesica is a huge reason why. Many of our guests told us this was the best DJ-d wedding they’d ever attended, and I would have to agree. Highly recommend her services.

Chesica was an AMAZING DJ that really brought my vision to life when I told her the type of vibe I wanted to have at my wedding. On top of that, she is such a lovely person to get to know. She makes you feel like she’s known you forever and truly wants to make your day as amazing as possible. I could not have asked for a better DJ experience!!

Shane from Bellagala DJ was AMAZING!!! Our dancefloor was packed all night!! We told him the types of music we both like, and he sprinkled them together flawlessly while also adding in the classics to keep the dancefloor busy all night! We had multiple guests tell us he was the best wedding DJ they’d ever seen, and we couldn’t agree more! The Van Dusen seems like a difficult venue for a DJ as they have to move to many different rooms through the night, but Shane executed flawlessly and was the kindest and easiest person to work with!

We hired Bellagala for our wedding DJ and moved forward with Derek C. Derek absolutely surpassed every expectation we had and genuinely cared about our wedding day vision. We could not have asked for more on our wedding day! We highly recommend Derek!

Our wedding DJ this past weekend was Daniel P, and he made our night so much fun! He was very organized during the planning process, took notes of all our plans and preferences, executed them perfectly during the wedding, communicated well with us & venue staff & other vendors during the night, and kept the dance floor grooving, smiling, and laughing all evening. He truly embodies one of his favorite words (awesome-sauce).

Absolutely incredible experience with our wedding DJ! From the moment we met, we knew we were in great hands. Jocelyn took the time to understand our musical tastes and crafted the perfect playlist that kept our guests dancing all night long.
The energy she brought to the reception was electric! Transitions between songs were seamless, and she even incorporated our special requests with ease. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how fantastic the music was.
What truly stood out was her professionalism and adaptability. She handled everything from the ceremony to the reception effortlessly, and her attention to detail made our day feel even more special.
I can’t thank her enough for making our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your event and keep the party going, look no further! Highly recommend!
