Boutique DJs

Absolutely horrible experience *trying* to work with them through COVID. After having to cancel our large wedding and moving to a very small ceremony, all of our other vendors worked with us to create a plan with the money we had already paid down so we weren't losing money on top of losing our wedding. Even though we had no need for a DJ at this point, they insisted that we owed them the FULL amount for NO work. After multiple emails we finally spoke with Alex on the phone and made ourselves very clear that we would not pay the full amount as this is a Force Majeure event, they offered us a "week day brunch" package that was still $400 over what we had already paid in the deposit. Worst vendor experience ever. I would steer clear.

Vaughn was an incredible DJ at our wedding. Not only was he super great about communicating beforehand, everything – from the ceremony audio to the dancefloor – was perfect. The venue told us it was their first wedding where people actually danced!

We booked with Boutique as it was on our venue's recommended vendor list and the services and pricing were competitive with other providers we researched. Alex was our event manager, and she was super responsive and accommodating with drafting up the contract, working out logistics, and our completing our initial music preferences questionnaire. In the weeks leading up the wedding, we were assigned to work with DJ Ben. We had a pretty good idea of the music we wanted to play throughout the night, and Ben was super helpful for the days and months leading up to our wedding. He was super easy to schedule phone calls with, and communication was seamless up until the day of the wedding. Everything from the ceremony music, to the entrance, and the reception was everything we hoped it would be. He set the perfect mood and our guests were on the dance floor all night long. We would highly recommend working with Boutique, and specifically DJ Ben (DJ Works SF) for your wedding or special event needs!

Amazing experience from start to finish. We filled out a form about our music preferences for our wedding (dinner and reception), and spoke briefly with DJ Justin a month prior to our wedding date to review the form together. DJ Justin was SUPERB. He totally delivered the vibe we were going for during dinner and after party! It was spot on and the dance floor was full all night. Thank you so much for making our evening so wonderful!!

My wife and I booked Boutique DJs for our Wedding. We were able to chat with Josh before the event; locking down some of our favorites and not so favorite songs. We had a fun chat about the what we were looking for in the flow of the event, dance floor and evening. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! He was able to seamlessly transition songs, keep the energy up, and even gave us some unique moments made just for our wedding. If we have another event in the area we will definitely be calling Josh and Boutique DJs.

We used David for our wedding and it was the best choice! He was incredible! He is so professional and made our wedding very special! He had people dancing until the last song. I am so happy we used him and it was the best party because of him! He showed up early, came prepared with everything you could imagine you need, he had back ups for his back up! He was the best! Highly recommend!

Loved loved loved boutique Djs! They came recommended from our venue, and they were truly a perfect fit for us. The whole process was seamless. They kept us on track and asked great questions. I was a bit nervous since i know the music truly makes or breaks they party, so i requested a check in call with our dj. DJ Vaughn Wooseter arranged for a call and I could tell he really got our vibe. He blended in with our guests and helped us host a great party!!

We used Boutique DJs for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! We planned our wedding in 6 months, and there were very few options for available DJs. Both our wedding planner and venue had great things to say about Boutique, so we were confident when we booked with them. After accepting the quote and paying the deposit, I found out that my soon-to-be-in-laws had hired a singer/keyboardist for part of our wedding reception. Alex was my POC in booking and planning the wedding music. She was incredibly easy to work with, very kind, and very responsive via email. The singer/keyboardist were not easy to coordinate with and needed equipment through Boutique. It took an incredible number of emails with Alex to sort out what equipment was needed (not because of Alex but because the singer/keyboardist were not able to provide the information needed). Alex has the patience of a saint and was so helpful! Boutique has a great form that you fill out in advance of your wedding. It was very comprehensive and gave me a lot of confidence that all of our bases were covered. We had a call with our DJ Mikey in advance of the wedding, and he was great over the phone. He asked great questions and it felt like he really got the vibe we were looking for. While everything leading up to the wedding is important, what's most important is how the wedding went! Mikey was amazing! The music was exactly what we were looking for and he did a great job as the emcee. It was a bit complicated with the singer, but Mikey handled everything seamlessly and with grace. We couldn't have been happier with Boutique and I would strongly recommend them for anyone looking for a Bay Area DJ. We also had uplighting through Boutique, which looked amazing during our reception. Boutique additionally did our ceremony sound, which was flawless. Strong recommend!

We decided to book Boutique DJs for our destination wedding in Sonoma. Alex did an exemplary job coordinating and answering all of my questions. I wanted live music for the ceremony & cocktail hour and a DJ for the reception. She was able to customize our contract as well as make suggestions for which ensembles to go with based on our music taste. I didn't meet with our DJ, Josh, prior to the wedding but he did a great job reaching out to me beforehand. We scheduled a phone call to walk through the whole reception and talk about what types of music we wanted. Everyone had a great time dancing and we were very pleased with the whole experience.

Very highly recommend working with Boutique DJs! From booking to follow through, Boutique DJs were a pleasure and breeze to work with for our wedding! Not only were they professional, prompt and friendly but the DJ was also phenomenal! From the very start of our planning process ceremony to the very last song of the night I felt like our event was in excellent hands. Working with Boutique DJs (esp. with David!) was one of the best decisions we made! Thank you!!

Josh is the MAN!! We had a very specific vibe that we wanted for our wedding (classic 80s/90s house with a few classic gay pop remixes/anthems thrown in for good measure). Over the course of several conversations, Josh and I talked about what I wanted and I ultimately decided to pre-select about 60 tracks that he could pull from, of which 7 were must-plays. JOSH DELIVERED!! He nailed the track selection, mixing, etc. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. EVERYONE was on the dance floor from our 70/80 year old parents/aunts/uncles, to our 30/40/50 year old fancy NYC friends, and our 20/30/40 year old cousins. It was the exact vibe I had envisioned for our dance party. He also was great with organizing the sound system for our wedding ceremony as well as the music for the pre-ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. Highly recommedned.

I had the pleasure of working with Boutique DJs for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose them to provide DJ and photo booth services. My venue (SF Legion of Honor) had strict policies in place for all vendors to adhere to, but Boutique’s staff (Alex on the admin side, David Carvalho for DJ) handled all preparation and execution with promptness, dependability, and professionalism the entire way through. They were very communicative over email in the months leading up to the wedding. As for the actual day-of DJ services, David was flawless. He provided all the necessary equipment for the ceremony in the courtyard, hit all the music right on cue during the ceremony, and kept the reception dance floor on fire for hours with a mix of 90s hip hop and rnb + a sprinkling of top 40 (my preference; you can specify any songs/genres you like during wedding planning). He’s also a super nice guy and a breeze to work with. The photo booth pictures also came out great - high resolution pictures of all photo booth pics were made available for download about a week after the wedding. 10/10, I highly recommend working with Boutique for any wedding or private event!

The entire night was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thanks again to Josh, everyone said the DJ crushed it!

If you’re considering a Bay Area DJ for your wedding, you should go with Boutique. DJs should be easy to work with and set the right vibe, and that’s exactly what our DJ, Patrick Diaz, did. He was very receptive to our input, played the music we wanted and coordinated our evening extremely well. We had a great experience working with Boutique. Alex Carter was our main touchpoint and she was extremely responsive and helpful.

Working with DJ Mikey was amazing! I had guests coming up to me and my family saying he is the best DJ they’ve seen. He took the short list my husband and I provided for must-have songs and took off from there. There was never a moment someone wasn’t dancing! Being half Latina, I loved his style and the songs he played in his sample list, and he really made the night come alive on our wedding. It mixed from 80s, Salsa, bachata, pop, and some 70s which was perfect for us and our guests. Highly recommend him!

We had Patrick DJ the after party after our wedding. We had a quick 10 min phone call and just discussed the overall vibe we were going for. We told him since it was after our wedding, we strictly wanted ALL dancing music.. To which he nailed! Even after a 6 hour wedding, guests were STILL on the dance floor for the 3 hour after party. He played a great mix of remixed oldies and a bunch of today's hits per our request. We would 100% recommend using Boutique DJs & Entertainment, specifically Patrick for your event! We had a blast and our guests still can't stop talking about our party!

We had a wonderful experience working with Boutique DJ's for our wedding last month. Alex is extremely professional, responsive, detail-oriented and such a pleasure to work with. After discussing our wishes for wedding day music, Alex was great about sharing several different options and routes we could go. She took great care in providing us with a list of DJ's and musicians she felt would be a great match for us and our venue/wedding style. We ultimately decided on a DJ for our reception and dancing and violin & guitar duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour! Boutique DJ's sends you a comprehensive music planning form in which you include all of your special song requests for the entire day (including ceremony and cocktail music, special moments and dance song requests, top 15 must-play songs, top favorite dance songs, and even a do-not-play list). I already wrote a separate 5-star review for DJ David Carvalho because he was AMAZING - he rocked our party! Our dance floor was packed the entire night!!! Which says a lot because we had such an expansive guest list, spanning generations, and friends and family from all over the world, and everyone danced the entire night away! Bellarosa was our violin and guitar duo and they played beautifully! They too provided us with sample songs and ideas for the ceremony and cocktail hour and they included a list of more contemporary songs they were able to play. We chose a mix of traditional and contemporary songs for the ceremony and it sounded so beautiful and uplifting...the combination of the violin and the guitar was exactly what we were envisioning. Boutique DJ's was awesome all-around and we would recommend them to anyone looking for music services for their special day or event!

DJ Chip is awesome with Boutique DJs. He is so professional and met with my mom and I beforehand to go over our song list. He checked in via email frequently and always responded in a timely manner. Chip played fun music that was right on par with what my husband and I asked for. We danced the night away. Highly recommend!

David Carvalho DJ'd our wedding and he was awesome! He kept the dance floor full from the beginning until closing time. Thanks again, David!

Boutique DJs was so professional throughout our wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, DJ Zaq was AMAZING and flawless. He exceeded our expectations and the night was perfect thanks to him. He played every song we wanted and more. We are so happy we went with Boutique DJs!

We reached out to Dj Josh Dukes through his website about 6-7 months prior to our wedding on 10/15/2017. He quickly connected us to his company Boutique Dj's and we coordinated both through Alex and Josh to finalize what we needed. Alex sent over a list of services and we settled in on Josh, a photo booth and additional lighting to set the mood. The communication with both Alex and Josh is exemplary. Josh is extremely patient. My phone must have dropped the conference call with him four times and it did not phase him. What I greatly appreciate is his attention to detail. Having done many weddings before he brought up a many things that we didn't think about (ie. mics for the ceremony, timing for the cake cutting, bouquet toss and garter toss, etc). Alex is also very patient and understanding. We developed a footer for the photos with some very specific requests (color and font choice). She clearly communicated this to the photo booth operator and we ended up with a final product that everyone loved. Now come the week before our wedding the #Atlasfire started in Napa. Our original venue was quickly evacuated. Three days before the wedding we finalized a new location and both Alex and Josh accommodated the change in venue with no complications. We are forever grateful for their understanding and helpfulness during this amazingly stressful time period. Lastly, as the night progressed, I made Dj Josh's job extremely difficulty. We provided him with a list of must plays songs (less that 10 or so) and gave him the freedom to play to the crowd . . . he did an amazing job - I don't remember seeing the dance floor empty at any time! However, I was attending to my guests and for some reason wanted to get a set of photos in with as many people as I could. This meant that both my wife and I weren't on the dance floor at the same time very often. Even with this complication, Josh made sure that our must play songs were played when we were both on the dance floor and the transitions were seamless. I highly recommend their services for any of your upcoming events. I greatly appreciated their professional attitude. I want to throw another party just so I can hire him again!

We love, love, loved working with Mikey. Such a joy to have him there and he really got the ethos of our crazy tribe of guests. Booking and coordinating was a breeze; they even worked directly with Ivy Hill Entertainment to make sure that our live musician had the equipment he needed. Just a great experience overall!

We booked Boutique DJs as a recommendation from our wedding planner. Specially Josh Dukes, one of the owners/founders was our DJ. When selecting the DJ, we were impressed by how professional Josh was. He was able to share with us previous playlists, and we really liked his style. Before the wedding, you fill out music planning form online, which you can save, and go back to and make edits. A week or so before the wedding, we had several communications with Josh so we can make sure that everything was prepared for the wedding. The music was perfect, both for the ceremony and for the reception. We had our officiant use a lapel mic, and I used a handheld. Sound quality was great even though our venue was outside, and close to a busy street during the day. After the reception, Josh came to congratulate us. Since we hadn't met him in person yet, this was the first time we had seen him -- Josh was wearing a suit and I actually thought he was one our guest's guest. So fancy! We're were complimented on how much fun our guests had on the the dance floor. Josh was very accommodating to fit our wide range of style / song choices, lengths, and even helped fit in a special dance. The mixing between songs was flawless. Even after the wedding, our guests had "Return of the Mack" on replay. Thank you so much Josh for the beautiful music. It was such a special day, and we couldn't have done it without you.

We used DJ Vaughn for our wedding this last October. The company was great to work with and very easy in the planning sense. We held our wedding at Sbragia where they have a preferred list of three DJs, where the other two options were booked up on our weekend, so we had no other choice but to use Boutique DJs. Von was nice and played good music. I would say that the reason why this isn't a 5 star rating is because he was not a very good MC...at all. He butchered some names, despite correction , there was very little facilitation before dinner, and he didn't really help the guests know what was going on. If you have other options, at least get a quote, they were a little pricey as well.

We worked with Boutique DJs for our wedding in Healdsburg. Logan totally nailed it!! We got tons of complements on the flow of the wedding music. He was so helpful in talking to us before we hired him and throughout as it got closer to the wedding to make sure our wedding was just how we wanted. Alex who coordinated the setup was also so responsive and knowledgable of what we needed for audio hookups and things like that. I felt like Boutique DJs was truly pumped to be apart of our wedding celebration. They've got a great vibe as a business and that shows the day of the wedding. Hire them!

We had DJ MoMentum (Mo Malikyar) at our wedding in Napa this September and he was AMAZING! He totally made the night, mixing western and Bollywood music. He also provided sound for the ceremony and speeches, which went of flawlessly, and coordinated with our live musicians to make sure sound was perfect during the ceremony. Above all DJ Mo was amazing to work with - super communicative and helpful in working with us to plan. He always brought confidence and positivity to his role which is essential in the wedding industry - from before we signed on to the wedding day. We love Mo!

DJ Vaughn with Boutique DJs did a great job of translating our must have list into a night of music that we liked and so did our guests. He kept the party dancing!

We used Boutique DJs and had Chip Corwin as our wedding DJ. Chip was great. He was available by phone or e-mail for consultation and questions and always replied promptly. He was very flexible - we changed the song for our first dance literally the morning of the wedding and he made the change seemlessly and happily. We even moved him outside halfway during the reception because the guests wanted to be outside enjoying the weather rather than inside and he had no problem accommodating our request. Chip was interested in what we wanted from a DJ and did a great job of being the kind of MC we wanted for our event.

Chris Fox, our DJ from Boutique wedding DJs was awesome. He kept the dance floor full all the time, and listened to all of our requests.
