Dart Collective

Dart Collective was fantastic and so easy to work with! DJ Adam worked with us to elongate/fade out certain songs for processional/recessionals. Kept the music going all night and made sure to keep the party atmosphere going. The music map they had us fill out was really helpful in choosing the music we wanted to hear on our wedding night. Would highly recommend!

Dart was excellent every step of the way. Schuyler and Michael were so helpful in getting all of the details and contract confirmed and the right options for our wedding. Jack confirmed all of our music choices in the music map, including which versions of specific songs. Our DJ was Cale who was absolutely incredible. We had guests tell us they couldn’t use the bathroom because the dance floor was too much fun to leave. We ended up extending Cale beyond the agreed wrap up time because we were having too much fun. We can’t recommend them enough!

We loved working with dart! Super straightforward process, great communication from the team. Sam our Dj was awesome. So easy to work with and everyone loved the energy all night! Would reccomend to anyone.

we had the village hearts, night moves, and a dart DJ (silent disco!) at our wedding. Cannot say enough good things about how amazing they were. The performers were incredible; so many guests have written to us about the amazing music. Sam and the team were also so easy to work with, kind, and simply cool. Sam Zoomed with us several times to talk music, and the Dart music map made it super easy to share our preferences. We are big music people and cared a lot about this element of our wedding, and Dart knocked it out of the park. Would work with them a million times over. Thank you Sam, Village Hearts, Night Moves, and DJ Kat! We love you!

We hired Dart Collective for our wedding in northern California. They did a fantastic job. We provided them a sampling of music we liked and they curated it into a full-day collection for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Would 100% recommend.

Dart Collective was recommended to us by our venue manager as the “coolest” option and that reputation definitely held up! The process of working with them and putting together a music map for inspiration was super easy — and they were very patient with us waiting until the last minute! Jackson’s picks during the reception were exactly what we were hoping for and got everyone dancing at the right time.

This company is phenomenal. Our DJ, Phil, brought REAL records for his DJ set at our wedding and played all the songs we wanted plus some songs that were in the same genera. They were not the boring/typical DJs that are seen at weddings usually, the set up is cool, the mixing is top notch and the sound was perfect. We had a wedding of over 135 people and not a single person had anything bad to say about the DJ. 10/10 would work with them again. Go Dart go!

Dart and DJ Zeh was awesome!! We were recommended them through our wedding planner and had a specific sound in mind for our wedding and Jesse was so patient with finding us the perfect DJ in Zeh. After the wedding, I had so many people comment on how much they loved the wedding music and how Zeh had such good energy. He made our day exactly what we were hoping. Also worth noting, we were worried about the ceremony microphones and sound because we had been to a few weddings with terrible ceremony sound issues, but Dart's setup was perfect and there were no issues at all. Thanks Dart and Zeh!!

I think the included picture of my wife's uncle on the dance floor at our wedding says everything you need to know when it comes to booking Dart Collective! Our main goal for our wedding was to be a big, fun dance party for us and all of our guests (I love to dance at weddings) and Dart Collective helped make that a reality! We were originally drawn to Dart Collective, after a recommendation from our wedding and interacting with their booth at a vendor open house, because we had the idea of our favorite Talking Heads song being played by a string trio as we walked down the aisle, and Dart's The Strings group already had the song in their repertoire! Once we got chatting with Schuyler and Jesse (and later Boon), who were all super helpful during the entire process, we booked Dart for both the string trio and our reception DJ. Ahead of the wedding, Dart Collective shared a "music map" living document for us to fill out with our music tastes and must-plays and so on so that they'd already have an idea of what we wanted well before the wedding day. The Strings played from invitation time through the ceremony and cocktail hour and our guests were VERY impressed with them. then the DJ Lucy took over for the dinner and party, keeping everyone dancing almost the entire time. All of them were amazing and did an awesome job. We and our families and our guests all had the time of our lives, largely thanks to Dart Collective.

Sam and the whole team were a dream to work with. I'll break down why: * They took our date very quickly. We were late to inquire, and after a great chemistry call, they locked it in within the week. * Had a reasonable rate and worked with us to make it happen. * Their interface for sending references and preferences was easy and integrated, and most importantly WORKED. Our songs got played perfectly on the day. * Used our inspiration and built on it in a way that made the dance floor electric. * Gracefully avoided requests, but allowed the ones we wanted. * Came with 3 set ups, so all our locations were pre-set up in every location. * Zero feedback, awkward "is this thing on" moments, or struggling to hear speakers, even when they're bad with holding the mic. From the music, to everything in between, you can't go wrong. We triple-bid the project, and Dart was easily our strongest choice.

We had an absolute blast at our wedding thanks to Dart Collective! From start to finish, they were on time, professional, and ensured top-notch sound quality throughout the night. The dance floor was packed and buzzing with energy until the very last song. Communication was timely and friendly and they played all the songs we selected on cue. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how much fun they had. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable! 🎉🎶

The wedding planning process is such a rollercoaster so when you come across a vendor that is not only easy to work with but easily understands you and what your wishes are it is such a breath of fresh air. That was our experience with Dart Collective. They were highly responsive, communicated clearly, navigated email threads well, and delivered on every promise. We had DJ Eddie and he was excellent. He met the needs of the vibes and kept the dance floor going all night. We had to have a silent disco because we couldn’t have much amplified music and I was nervous about it because we had never been to a silent disco before but the way Eddie DJ’d the night was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!

Dart Collective was fantastic from start to finish. We trusted everything about their music selection and it created the absolute best vibe for our small ceremony and got everyone dancing. Appreciated the very responsive communication throughout our process and would recommend to anyone!

We had an absolutely incredible time at our wedding and have received so much positive feedback from guests about the music. The dance floor was packed the entire night with all ages and types of people. We feel like it was a smashing success! Jackson was a wonderful DJ and working with the entire Dart team through the whole process was so smooth and easy. We're really appreciative of how simple and supportive the entire Dart team made this. There are so many things to track and worry about when planning a wedding and the music was never something had to stress about. We had full confidence in Dart and they delivered!

DANI!!!!! Our girl Dani crushed it at our wedding last weekend and I am so grateful we had her to play banger after banger to keep the dance floor raging. My wedding had some complications with weather which has some ripple effect throughout the night and Dani navigated it with grace. I am so happy with the service. The process prior to the wedding was also very straight forward. The only thing I wish I had had access to was to be able to speak with someone on the phone. It was very very very difficult to get through to someone by phone so you had to hope that email communication came through.

We hired Dart Collective for our wedding and they were fantastic! We had a call with our DJ, Jonathan, leading up to our event to talk through the timeline and hear his suggestions. We received many compliments on the playlist throughout the evening. Thank you!! Would highly recommend

We can't recommend Dart Collective enough! Sam really took the time to get to know our musical interests and what we wanted out of our wedding reception (to keep as many people dancing for as long as possible) and he did not disappoint! Our musical taste is quite broad and he was able to integrate a wide range of songs seamlessly. He brought so much good energy and kept the dancefloor full of guests of all ages from start to finish!

I cannot recommend Dart Collective more highly! From our first conversation with the team, they were receptive to our requests while offering creative ideas to enrich the experience. All of the coordination leading up to the event was professional and seamless, and the band and DJ were world-class and kept the energy and dance floor going all night. Thank you so much to the Dart Collective team for bringing our wildest dreams to life! 

The Dart Collective did an incredible job at our wedding!!! We used the DJ + Live option and the string trio for our ceremony. The string trio was beautiful and had a large repertoire of songs to choose from. Phil absolutely killed it as our DJ and the sax + percussion addition really elevated each song. Our friends couldn’t stop talking about how good they were!

DART COLLECTIVE DJ: Jason Hands down, the best money spent on our wedding. Our DJ Jason and his team of brass and percussion were phenomenal. I mean the absolute BEST. We had so much fun with them and when the brass joined us on the dance floor for a few songs, the place went nuts. We are still having guests telling us that it was one of the best parties they have attended. They played all the music we wanted and more. I would hire Dart Collective again in a heartbeat.

We hired the Mosaics with Dart Collective for our April 2024 wedding at Calamigos Ranch. Every single guest said the band is unreal and our dance floor was more packed than any wedding I have been to. Not only did the band blow our socks off, Dart helped us with processional music, recessional music, and an amazing playlist for the cocktail hour. I was nervous to have a band that sounded like cruise ship karaoke, and instead got an all-star team of insane musicians. They are amazing. I would hire Dart again in a heartbeat.

Dart is the perfect addition to your wedding day! Their cool / retro vibe paired with the most organized team & personable staff is truly the best. Jordan did a great job on our wedding day and was super go with the flow as we also had a few additional live musicians playing during the evening. I’d recommend Dart to anyone, especially if you want something a bit different than a traditional wedding DJ! Will for sure use again in the future.

The most frequent compliment we receive about our wedding is how great the music was and that is 100% thanks to Dart Collective. Their strings for the ceremony were PERFECT and set such a great tone for the start of our day. Special shout out to the crew for learning What's New Pussy Cat so I could live every bride's dream of walking down the aisle to Tom Jones :). But the real show stealer were The Shrines who absolutely KILLED IT during our reception! And also learned some bangers at our request. I truly did not sit down once because their song list was so incredible! I cannot overstate how spectacular they made our wedding and how I would hire them again in an instant. Do yourself and your wedding guests a favor and book them! Also, if you can swing it definitely go for the three horn players!

Dart DJ is a vendor who we will recommend to ANYONE who is getting married. I have been to weddings before that have cleared out early because the "DJ" was either playing music that was not part of the wedding vibe or was loud and in the guest's faces. Dart DJ is NOT one of those DJs. Dart works with the couple to understand both their music preferences, the desired vibe of the wedding and then seamlessly puts together a night of music that fits the moment - from the processional to the final song of the night. Dart met with both of us to learn about us as humans, they built a relationship with us before the wedding so we were all familiar with each other the day of the wedding (even though we have a wedding planner). Everyone after the wedding was raving about how amazing the music was at the wedding. Thank you Dart DJ and Andrew for making our night so perfect and giving our guests a night to remember.

Our DJ, Eddie, did a phenomenal job. Great mix of songs that people know and love but don’t hear at every wedding. The dance floor was full from the first song to the last!

Look no further. Dart Collective made our day THE BEST. We opted for a string trio for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, and the seamless transition between classical elegance and contemporary melodies was nothing short of spectacular. The musicians exhibited extraordinary skill, setting a sophisticated tone that perfectly complemented the different parts of our celebration. Dart Collective struck the perfect balance between jazz sophistication and upbeat fun. The combination of a DJ, saxophone player and a drummer for the reception created an atmosphere that had our guests raving. Numerous attendees told us it was the best musical and dance experience they've ever had at a wedding, and we couldn't agree more :) The team effortlessly adapted to the changing vibes of our celebration, ensuring that each moment was accompanied by the perfect soundtrack. They understood our vision and brought it to life with an energy that had everyone on their feet. Our decision to include La Hora Loca in the reception was one of the highlights of the evening, and Dart Collective made it absolutely perfect. The energetic beats from the DJ, the saxophone adding flair, and the rhythmic beats of the drums created a lively and unforgettable experience. It was exactly what we envisioned and more. Working with Dart Collective was not only a professional experience but also a genuinely enjoyable one. The team was approachable, responsive, and took the time to understand our preferences. Their enthusiasm for our day was evident, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Shout out to Julia! Our deepest gratitude to Dart Collective for creating the soundtrack to the most important day of our lives. If you're searching for a musical ensemble that leaves a lasting impression, Dart Collective is the ultimate choice. Thank you, Dart Collective, for making our wedding day truly extraordinary! Sincerely, John & Sydney

We booked Dart Collective for our wedding and could not be happier. They were very easy to work with and were able to execute not only our regular playlist, but some special request song files perfectly as well. They were professional and our wedding music was absolutely seamless. Our venue also has a very strict noise ordinance due to its location (weddings have been shut down for playing music too loud); our DJ was aware of this and we had zero issues : )

We had a fantastic experience working with Dart Collective. For our wedding earlier this month, having reliable sound for the ceremony and good music for the reception was one of our highest priorities and Dart absolutely delivered. We gave their team the task of creating a classy/eclectic vibe for our cocktail hour that transitioned (smoothly) into a mid-2000s dance party by the end of the night, and they delivered with flying colors. We were initially drawn to their use of vinyl records (so cool), but it was the personal collaboration to meet our needs, as well as the special sound requirements of our venue, that really sealed the deal. The Dart team were consummate professionals that we couldn't recommend more highly - thanks team!

Everything was perfect!! They were out of this world. Great music choices and demeanor. Really a fun time

The Dart Collective team was amazing since day 1! They helped curate the perfect music for our wedding day. Everyone was super kind and accommodating. From organizing our live music to finding the perfect DJ, we had the best time. We never left the dance floor. 100/10!!

We had such an amazing experience with Dart Collective! Multiple guests told us how great the music was - smooth transitions, great song choice, and so easy to work with. Can't recommend them enough!

My husband and I were soooo happy to work with Dart Collective for our wedding. We had a specific vision for what the vibe of our wedding dinner and dance floor would be. For us, the music sets the tone for the entire energy of the evening and can truly make or break a wedding. We knew we had to hire a team we could trust 100%. Our initial meeting with Jesse felt so right—we just vibed and talked about music and our taste and our vision. We instantly knew that hiring the Dart team would be a good decision for what we were going for. The customer service and communication throughout the planning process was amazing. They sent us a music map in which we outlined what we were going for, including genres, artist, songs, and even an energy shift that we wanted to happen over the course of the night. Our DJ Dani pulled it off perfectly. The dance floor was lit all night; we all had so much fun!!! There was something for everyone, and yet it was still unexpected and nontraditional. Overall an amazing experience with a fantastic team.

Had an absolutely amazing experience with Dart Collective as the premier DJ service at our recent wedding in Malibu! We danced all night long, and our DJ Zeh did not miss a beat. The accompanying live music services (we chose saxophone) were a blast and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We can't recommend Dart Collective enough for your next event or celebration!

Constant compliments throughout the weekend, everyone said it was the best music they've ever heard at a wedding! Kyle came with a perfect understanding of what we wanted, and mixed it with a good knowledge of how to keep everyone on the dance floor all night. He also DJed the best Palm Springs pool party to ever happen the day following our wedding. I'm a music lover with a super particular taste, and if you are someone who really cares about music, I'd 100% go with Dart.

We hired Dart for our wedding and they were fantastic! they worked with us to make sure the music was upbeat and fun but also fit our taste and theme of our wedding. cannot recommend them enough!

Dart Collective was wonderful for our wedding! The Dart Family Band and their coordinator were organized, communicative, excited from the start and above all they were amazing performers. Everyone raved about the band all night long.

Thank you thank you for delivering such a special and unique musical experience for our wedding reception. We are so grateful we got to work with Dart Collective. We all had such an amazing time. Our DJ was such a joy to work with and delivered the good times from beginning to end. From the music at cocktail hour and dinner to dancing, Dart Collective helped create something special for us that was truly unforgettable. Dart is definitely unique and sets the bar high.

Dart Collective was absolutely the right choice for our wedding. From our first inquiry to the last song they played the night of our wedding, we were more than pleased with their professionalism, communication, taste, and presentation. They were quick to respond to any question we had when first chatting with them, providing detailed answers while genuinely wanting to get to know about us, our event and our music tastes. They were well experienced with our venue as well, so it was totally plug and play when planning the night. The "Music Map" they provided was exactly what we wanted. We were able to provide playlists and favorite songs for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and dancing. They asked for "Must Plays" to ensure our favorite songs were played at specific points in the evening, as well as "Do Not Plays", so we could avoid any music that we don't like (so crucial!) They absolutely nailed our specific song cues for processional and first dances, and even had the right start and end time for each track. They also double checked they had the right version of each of those cues before the wedding. Besides all of those professional bits, and just as importantly, our DJ (Eddie S.) had SUCH good taste when it came to reading the dance floor, picking up on the actual vibe of the wedding guests, and doing really impressive live mixes of our favorite songs using vinyl records. A lot of our guests (many who are also DJs, musicians, audiophiles and dancers) came up to us during and after the wedding to gush about how great the music was. We had so much fun on the dance floor! Eddie was also incredibly gracious and professional, a great MC for the evening with his calm, warm and genuine speaking tone and overall fun vibe. 10/10 would recommend you go with Dart Collective for your event if you want to make sure the music is on point, you want your guests to have a great time dancing, and you want a professional feel to your event.

I seriously couldn't imagine our wedding without Dart - hiring them to DJ our wedding was the best vendor decision we made. DJ Dent was amazing - super high energy and so fun. He really made our whole wedding flow so easily with the song choices he made throughout the night. Our music map was all over the place with genres and styles, but he blended them all together beautifully! We LOOOOVE to dance and it was such a huge concern of ours to make sure the songs were on point. He played banger after banger and everyone kept saying that the next song was better than the last. The whole process was seamless thanks to Jesse, Schuyler and Ruby - they were wonderful! We are so grateful for Dart and Dent - cannot thank you enough!! xx

Please book Dent for your wedding. Every time we think back to our wedding, we think back to the dance floor, and how it did not stop popping off the entire night. Dent truly kept the energy at a funky 10 the entire night. He was professional, courteous, and came prepared, even when we asked him to go above and beyond to accommodate another musician. Thanks for making our night so amazing, Dart Collective!

Awesome!! Jason Adams was our DJ - he arrived energized and enthusiastic. At the reception he effortlessly mixed genres in response to the crowd. We received so many compliments!

We were so lucky to find the Dart Collective for our wedding. We had the Horn Trio + DJ option at our wedding, and they absolutely brought the house down!! Music was our top priority in our wedding planning, and we were thrilled with our decision. The combination of songs we know and love with live horn riffs over it made for the best dance floor we've ever experienced. The horn players were absolute pros, and they found ways to add to any song on our list and make it feel brand new and a thousand times better! Our DJ Paul was also very professional and rolled with our requests, and he made such a fun and friendly addition to our team. Can't recommend Dart Collective and specifically the Horn Trio enough!!

We had The Half Moons play at our wedding in July 2023 in Sonoma, California and we were absolutely blown away! From the moment we reached out to Dart Collective, we knew we wanted to work with them. Every interaction we had with the team in the lead up to the wedding was so helpful and reassuring, nothing we asked was ever too much trouble. We had high expectations going into the big day and they were far exceeded! The talent of all the artists is mind blowing and we couldn't have asked for a better company and band to play at our wedding. We had so many guests come up to us throughout the night raving about how good they were. Worth every penny. Thank you so much Dart for helping to make our wedding so memorable for us and all our guests! Wish we could do it all over again :)

We hired Dart Collective for our wedding and they delivered 10/10 and then some! We had Django Foxtrot play for our ceremony + cocktail hour and The Half Moons perform for the reception/dance party. Each of the musicians and vocalists were so incredibly talented and our family and friends were completely blown away by the brilliance and energy of both bands. Our guests are still talking about how awesome the music was throughout the night! In addition, the staff behind the scenes were so helpful and professional in coordinating all of the logistics with our wedding planner and venue and making sure the music repertoire was exactly as we envisioned. We can't recommend them enough. The energy at our wedding was off the charts and we owe it to Dart Collective!

We did DJ (Kyle)+ Live (live sax, unfortunately I didn't catch their name) for our wedding and it was awesome! Jesse and Ruby were really fast to reply and made planning out our music selections so fun. After we filled out our music map and included playlists for all parts of the night, they sent us a dropbox that had songs that would be played for our review. The good: - We got a live saxophonist and it was AWESOME. Our first dance song has a sax solo in it, and it is one of our favorite songs of all time. It's hard to believe that the live saxophonist could make it better, but they really did. It was so special, and I really can't wait to see the video of our first dance. - Music for the entire day except for the end of night dancing was perfect. Played at the right volume to fit the vibe, and a perfect mix of the songs we requested and selections from the Dart team that matched what we were going for. Could've been better: - I'm not sure where things went wrong, but MANY songs from our dancing part of the night weren't played. These were songs that were actually in the Dropbox link we got from Dart (I checked after to confirm I didn't miss something), so we thought we were on the same page that they would be played. We were waiting all night, thinking that maybe they were saving up our favorite songs to close the night with, but it never came :(. We put so much effort into all of our playlists, but especially put a ton of effort into the dancing playlist. A lot of songs getting skipped was a pretty big let down, but of course we still had fun. The music that got played was fine but just really not our taste. Overall I'd still recommend dart, but I highly recommend that you ask your coordinator or someone else to keep an eye on whether the songs you want are actually getting played.

Our #1 priority at our wedding was that people danced all night long and Dart helped make that happen! DJ Dani was awesome and filled the night with our (HUGE) list of "must-play" songs that kept everyone dancing for 4 hours straight. Dart was super easy to work with and very communicative, plus they have a great vibe and aren't the typical tacky wedding DJ, which we loved. They are way more expensive than a typical DJ, but totally worth it if music/vibe is what's important to you!

We absolutely loved working with Dart Collective. Our DJ, Cale, was phenomenal and we got so many compliments on the music after our event. Can't recommend enough!

My husband and I hired Dart for our wedding in June 2023. We were lucky enough to have Andrew Pascale as our DJ from the 'collective.' From the start, Dart was fabulous. Music was a huge priority for us and we wanted it to be a PARTY - Andrew delivered! Our guests were on the dance floor until the very last song. Andrew also did the sound for our ceremony and the music for our dinner - everything was impeccable. He totally got us and our vibe. The quality across the board was so evident from the pre-event service to the day-of perfection. 10/10 would recommend.

We had an awesome time working with Dart! We had slightly offbeat tastes for music, and they talked through our ideas and then got the vibe exactly right. They were professional and thoughtful -- they didn't do sound for the ceremony but were still willing to lend us a microphone cable, and they came super early to set up so that they would be all ready before the wedding started. They were so easy to work with, and they did every single thing so well!

We hired Dart Collective for our wedding in LA, and we were blown away by how good they were. I never actually met the specific DJ that was sent from Dart Collective, but they really captured exactly the style of music we were looking for. We filled out a worksheet to describe our style, and they understood it perfectly. Even though I felt like we provided limited guidance, our DJ took it and interpreted it perfectly. I keep getting compliments on the music.

Big fan of Dart Collective. Had a great experience with from start of the process through the big night. Professional. Knowledgeable. Communicative. Everything you could ask for and more.

We cannot say enough good things about Dart Collective! They were such an important vendor to us and they did not disappoint. They are the best out there if you are very particular about the music on your wedding day! They really listened to our needs and came up with something personalized. They were seamless and gracious to work with and it’s fun to talk to them about music. It feels like everyone who works there is passionate about what they do. 10/10 book them now!

Just a quick one to add to the general 5-star vibe around here: Dart was fantastic with communications, understanding our weird music needs (when a pole dancer get married, there are needs) and doing all the traditional wedding announcements - Jordan was amazing, intuitive, funny and great with the flow, as the kids say (don't they?). Hire these people!

Paul, our DJ from the DART Collective, absolutely crushed the music for our wedding. He brought great energy to every stage of the event, from slightly-sappy pre-ceremony music to unique-but-still-crowd-pleasing dance songs for the end of the night. We put a lot of work into writing out what we wanted and didn’t want in terms of music for each stage of the event, and Paul clearly took our notes to heart while still making it his own in a way that surprised and truly impressed us. His work was a huge hit for everyone else at the event, too, and we were truly grateful to have him as part of the day.

We're so grateful to have Dart as part of our wedding day! We appreciate how communicative they all were with everything leading up to the wedding. We were confident everything was going to great musically, thanks to their thorough and helpful guidance with every part of the day. Eddie was fire and captured exactly the vibe we were hoping for. That dance floor was not empty at any point!

We hired Dart for our wedding and it exceeded all expectations! It was very easy to communicate with them for exactly what we wanted. We went with Dart because we wanted to play vinyl records and they were the quickest to respond to me when I was inquiring about DJs. Communication was very easy and very smooth. When is came to the day of there were no hiccups, the DJs understood the vibe we were going for, and I danced the night away! As the bride one of main goals was to get down on the dance floor to songs I wanted to dance to and that’s exactly what happened. The DJ was also so nice to let me request whatever song I wanted and even coordinated with the groom for a special song serenade. If I got to relive this day again I would totally still pick Dart for my music needs!

We had an absolute blast working with the Dart Collective crew! Jason completely understood our musical vibe and we really enjoyed the collaborative process. We didn’t just want a rigid set playlist and Jason expanded on our choices to make the whole evening incredibly memorable. Everyone was saying how much they loved the music!

We hired the Dart Collective for our wedding and we couldn't be HAPPIER with our decision!!! The music was incredible, the guests had the time of their lives. They really brought our day to life! They took all of our special requests and made the whole process so seamless and easy for us. It was so organized and we loved every minute of it. We live in Canada and had to do all of our communication via email and over the phone and we couldn't be happier with how it all went. We did a LOT of research on different bands and options and when we saw the Dart Collective website and watched some of their promotion material, we were blown away. We decided to go with the DJ + Live Sax and Horn Duo for our wedding and the guests had never experienced anything like it. Honestly can't recommend them enough! We had so much fun with them that they even stayed later to hang with us! Thank you for bringing our dream wedding to life! We hope you hire them too!!! You won't be disappointed!

Eddie DJ’d our wedding reception. He was awesome! So many compliments from friends and he definitely got everyone up and groovin. Filling out the music map beforehand definitely helped, but Eddie threw in some sweet mixes in between and all the music flowed seamlessly. Thanks Eddie!

We hired Dart Collective for the reception portion of our wedding and they were absolutely incredible! Not only were they super responsive through the whole planning process, but the music, DJ, and the whole setup on the day of was beyond amazing. The DJ blended the songs together really well, announced portions of the reception beautifully (grand entrance, toasts, etc.), and they also had so much energy. My friends and family are music people and they gave us SO many compliments. It really made the evening and I would recommend them to anyone having a wedding!

BOOK.DART.COLLECTIVE.NOW. They are worth it and more! All our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the music was and commented on how they've never seen so many people on the dance floor so early in the night. Everyone was on that dance floor until midnight. Music is really important to me and I am so happy I went with Dart Collective. Thank you DJ Kyle!!! We love you!

Dart Collective DJed our wedding and absolutely knocked it out of the park! From early on, any time the venue or our other vendors heard who was DJing they commended us on our choice and assured us we were in the right hands. And they were correct! Music has always been a big part of our relationship, so this was an area of our wedding we knew had to really encapsulate who we are. As soon as we heard some of Dart's playlists we knew they had the exact vibe we were going for. Dart did an excellent job getting to know us and our taste, listening to our priorities, and making great suggestions. The playlist on the day was perfect, a great mix of the stuff we wanted to hear and other music that was in the same vein. Some of our best memories of the night came from the dance floor. Dart lived up to our expectations and surpassed them. We couldn't have been happier!

We hired Dart Collective for our wedding in Los Angeles and Jordan was our DJ. He did an incredible job keeping the energy up with fun music. He also took real-time feedback when we wanted small adjustments to song choices. Kate also helped a ton with making sure everything was in order before the big day! Everything went so smoothly.

We had nightmares of tacky DJs at our wedding and initially thought we’d like a band. Our planner put us in touch with Dart Collective which has both options and a few DJ + live music options we didn’t know about. After a phone call getting to know us they suggested the DJ + horn trio. We had a lot of fun filling out their “music map” survey that helped them create the music for our cocktail hour, reception and dancing. All of our guests raved. Best. Vendor. Ever.

We hired Dart Collective to be in charge of the music at our wedding in February at Valentine DTLA and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! They matched us up with on of their DJs, Jordan, and he did an amazing job working with us and our wants and needs for the night. Music was one of the most important things to us so we really wanted to get it right and we’re so happy we went with Dart. The communication throughout the entire process was spot on and we ended up getting so many compliments about the music all night! We would absolutely recommend Dart to anybody and will definitely hire them again with any DJ related needs in the future!

When my husband and I got engaged, the first email we sent out (even before contacting a wedding planner!) was to Dart Collective. We had seen one of Dart’s bands, The Shrines, perform at a friend’s wedding and were absolutely blown away. Music is really important to us and has figured heavily in our relationship, so we were excited to work with Dart to incorporate music throughout the wedding day. Dart Collective really shone in a few key areas: reception music, ceremony sound, and special moments. RECEPTION MUSIC Though it seems there is truly no bad choice in Dart Collective’s group of bands, we really loved The Mosaics’ sound and vibe and their repertoire was right up our alley, so we booked them for our reception. The Mosaics were a smash hit! The dance floor was packed the whole night, and we had so many guests ask us afterward about who the band was. They’re still talking about it months later. CEREMONY SOUND One of my best friends is a wonderful singer and musician and she performed at our ceremony, which was in a remote outdoor location. I appreciated how responsive and helpful the Dart team was in providing and setting up equipment and ensuring the sound for our ceremony music and speakers worked flawlessly—even on a windy day! SPECIAL MOMENTS We had our cocktail hour and reception in different locations, and we had the idea of having the horn section from The Mosaics lead us from one place to the next. (If you’re on the fence about adding additional horn players, DO IT!) This was a truly amazing moment from the wedding day! The horn players snuck down to the cocktail hour, started playing along to the music we had in the background, and then led everyone up the hill to the reception, where the whole band joined in and started playing the song. When we shared this idea with the Dart team, they said “Awesome! We’ll make it happen” and they did. It brought a fun surprise element to the weekend and they handled all the coordination and planning seamlessly. Overall, the whole planning process was really seamless with Dart Collective. They’re professional, kind, and just solid people who clearly love music. I’ve already referred them multiple times and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Hiring Dart Collective for our wedding DJ was such a great decision! They included all of the songs that we requested, even the less-known ones, and created the perfect vibes for every part of the day! Would highly recommend!

Best wedding band EVER. We hired the new design and we were beyond thrilled. Can't recommend them enough.

I cannot rave enough about The Dart Collective! I would hire them over and over again for ANY event. They DJed my wedding in May and were the perfect balance of laid back and organized, and showed so much enthusiasm for my husband and me leading up to the event; then at our wedding Jordan, our DJ, crushed it. They have a beautiful vinyl set up and played hit after hit, and our dance floor was packed the whole night. We had seen one of Dart’s DJs at a friend’s wedding the year prior and again the dance floor was packed the entire night and their didn’t play a single song we didn’t love. When it was time for our wedding, we reached out to Dart and the owner, Jesse, was incredibly helpful in figuring out what set-up would work best for our event and venue (of note, they have really helpful advice in wedding planning as they are familiar with many of the vendors and venues in Los Angeles and beyond). Jesse set us up with his team — we primarily worked with Santiago who was really responsive leading up to the wedding and helped me surprise my husband with a song that I wrote and performed for him at our reception. After hearing what kind of music my husband and I love, Jesse set us up with the perfect DJ, Jordan, who was so amazing that my brother also had him DJ his wedding later this year! I would give them 10 stars if I could!

Music is a very important part of our personal lives, something that all our friends know to be true - so finding the perfect music for our wedding was a big deal. When we first started talking to photographers and wedding planners, they all mentioned DART - and it didn’t take us long to seek them out for ourselves. On their website, our first introduction to them, they had a running play list that really spoke to us - funky / eclectic / different than your standard “wedding DJ” - and it really spoke to us on a very personal level. Beyond DJ services, DART works with a number of musicians - individuals / duos / groups - and we had a blast looking through all the available options. In the end, we contracted DART for DJ services during the reception and dinner, but it was a choice that made the whole night incredible. Of the two of us, my husband is the bigger music buff - so a lot of this fell on his shoulders. We had several phone calls and even a Zoom meeting with DART all on our path to creating the perfect playlist for the evening. All the way, we felt great about our choice - and we labored over putting together our various playlists. With their help, we created suggested playlists for the dinner hour and for dancing - including songs that were definite must-plays, a well as songs that we definitely didn’t want to hear. We had great faith in DART and in the end, from start to finish, the music they played was just off the charts amazing. They even took care of the sound system for the outdoor ceremony, a big relief to have them in charge of the sound throughout the evening. They connected us with DJ Jordan - and he read the room perfectly, keeping the flow going all night long - from slow grooves during the meal to a wild soundtrack that followed dinner. At the suggestion of our wedding planner, right after our first dances, we rolled right into a high-energy dance set for about 20 minutes before dinner. What a way to kick off the evening! We dialed it back down during dinner, but picked it right back up afterwards until the night ended with our last dance. We couldn’t have been more happy with Jordan and with DART and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an amazing party.

Dart Collective was great to work with! From our initial phone call, they were very friendly. We loved that they invite couples to come up with a "music map" over Google Docs, which can include specific songs and bands that we wanted played by our DJ. It helped us feel very confident that the music played would feel like "us," not just generic songs from the radio. Lucy was our DJ on the day-of. She was great as a DJ, and for the little bits of emcee-ing we needed. We had a small wedding so our dance floor was small but mighty, and our friends all said Lucy was fantastic! Also, from a very superficial perspective, I really like the look of Dart's DJ setup, which was one of the reasons we reached out to them in the first place. When you spend a lot of time planning what your wedding will look like, honestly sometimes DJ setups are just an eyesore, so it's really nice that Dart has the wooden setup because it looked great!

We can't say enough amazing things about this team. Not only did they make the planning process leading up to our wedding so easy (they are so on top of communications and so organized) but they also absolutely exceeded our expectations for performance - and music was the most important detail of the wedding for us. We hired an acoustic guitar for the ceremony and a DJ + horn trio for our ceremony. We just got back from our honeymoon and we couldn’t stop talking about how amazing of a job the DJ did of creating the exact mood we wanted and playing with our music choices so well throughout the night (we gave them a music map with an excess of songs to choose from and they chose songs that went together so well)! The horn trio added the perfect touch to the night too and we loved the vibe of the cocktail hour (every guest was taking their guesses at what songs were playing throughout the hour). Thank you Dart Collective!

The whole Dart team (but especially Santi & Cory) was extremely professional and great to work with. From the beginning, the team was responsive, thorough, and generally awesome people to work with. I can't recommend them highly enough.

We hired Dart for our wedding and were so happy from day one that we did. Jesse + the Dart Team were so friendly, thorough, and got our music choices and vibe from the start. One the day, T'ai did an amazing job bringing our vision to life and keeping the dance floor bumping. Not to mention, months later they gifted us a record to thank US for having them at the wedding--We're so blown away and touched. If we ever have another big bash we will absolutely be booking them again!

We had such a great experience with Dart Colective and Tyler! Responsive, helpful, flexible and our guests had the best time. The two added live musicians were a great addition as well!

When my husband and I first started researching DJs for our wedding we weren't really feeling connected to any of them personality wise until we spoke with Jesse from the Dart Collective. After our initial conversation, we were super excited that Jesse's roster of talented DJs would be a great fit for our wedding vibe. My husband and I both love music and had very specific requests about the kind of music we did and didn't want played throughout the pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Jesse and Chris worked with us throughout the planning process and were easy to communicate with. We were a very hands on bride and groom and Jesse and Chris made us feel very at ease about making sure our vision for the night felt like us. About a week before our wedding, we were notified that the DJ that was scheduled to join us had COVID. Jesse assured us that he another amazing DJ who would take his place which was a huge relief for us. Dent (our DJ) did a great job with all the music queues and timing for our curated play list. He had awesome energy and kept everyone on the dance floor. So happy we hired the Dart Collective! They are a high-quality team and we appreciate them making our wedding so memorable!

Dart Collective was so amazing for our wedding! From the day we booked them to following our event, they were thorough, kind, and professional. Our DJ Jason was so much fun and kept the party going all night long. They sent us a music map and worksheet beforehand as well, to ensure they were playing music we loved and we appreciated how thoughtful they were. Highly recommend for weddings and all events!

We are more than happy with our choice to go with Dart Collective for our wedding music. We booked a DJ - Dent - and a live performer - LeAnn - for our cocktails and reception. They were absolutely amazing, and all of our guests told us that the music was one of the highlights of the night. Their communication was perfect leading up to the wedding. We gave them a lot of song and artist recommendations for the wedding and also told them the general vision for our wedding and they nailed it. We had our wedding in the desert in California, and we wanted the music to fit our wedding vibe, and they understood it perfectly. LeAnn gave a beautiful performance with an acoustic guitar, and Dent was super cool spinning actual vinyls, as requested, during the reception. The day couldn't have gone better, and I could not recommend a better group of musicians to work with. Thank you guys for everything

Jason and Dart gave us the wedding soundtrack of our dreams. We're both musicians and pretty picky. We had very specific vibes in mind for all parts of our wedding and Jason absolutely nailed it. Plus, he seemed like he was having a great time as well, which always adds to the over all fun. 1000/10 would recommend!
