Dart Collective

We worked with Dart Collective for our wedding this past September and they were fantastic. The whole process was seamless from start to finish and the DJ they paired us with (Zeh) for our day was stellar. He made sure to play all of our requested songs, was technically great on the decks (we had a fair amount of songs with varying BPM's which can be tricky to transition), and he brought a ton of energy. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they danced --- highly recommend!!

11/10!!! Absolutely incredible. Dany was a total rockstar—she took everything from our planning call and delivered it flawlessly. The dance floor was packed from the very first song, and she kept the energy high with banger after banger. The live saxophone took it to another level—such an epic vibe that had everyone dancing all night. Dart Collective, you didn’t just play music… you MADE our party.

You WILL NOT go wrong choosing DART for your next event’s dance party! Their style and attention to their brand speaks volumes of the product they provide and their vetting of DJs is impeccable. We worked with the DART team for our wedding in June and the process leading up to the day was fun and really helped make the music aspects of the wedding day seamless and easy. We were most impressed with DART’s Music Map process through which they decipher who from the collective will be the best DJ fit for your event. After filling it out, we were assigned DJ Dave, and he truly delivered the dance vibe we were going for. We even had a call before the day to get a vibe check and he matched our energy perfectly. All of our ceremony and reception cues were spot on and the entire day felt as though we had rehearsed everything multiple times even though we hadn’t. Dave had a great sense of timing and feel for the energy of our guests; managing to emcee through all speeches, dances, and dinner service with great ease. He turned our dance floor into a real party and didn’t drop the ball or have any trainwrecks in the process. All said and done, we would choose DART again and again! Highly recommend!

DJ Corey was AMAZING! One of the main compliments we got from guests was on the music. The dance floor was so fun and he worked in our music taste and crowd pleasers. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! If you’re looking for wedding music that isn’t cheesy and is actually fun and cool, Dart Collective is the right place!

We had the most exemplary experience working with Dart Collective through our wedding. Every step of the way from planning to execution to world class performance, everyone at Dart that we worked with displayed an unparalleled level of professionalism, service, and true joy in helping our big day be exactly as we envisioned. From the beginning, everyone we spoke to at Dart was warm, kind and extremely detail oriented. Their online platform (allowing us to view all the bands and their setlist, as well as their customizable music map) allowed our input to be considered fully and we were able to adjust seamlessly if we changed our mind about anything. They have excellent communication through the wedding process, scheduling calls to hear how we’d like the flow of the entire evening to go, and they work seamlessly with the venue and the wedding planner so all of the logistics are handled on the day without any hiccups or hitches. And then of course the music. Superb. Our band, The New Design, was simply magnificent. We have not stopped getting compliments for their incredible artistry, energy, malleability playing different genres, and connecting with the crowd. They were better than we ever could have imagined. They learned our unique first dance song and played it exactly how we wanted it. Absolutely nailed our big moments throughout the night and were so kind to all of our guests. We also arranged for an afterparty DJ through Dart, and he was every bit a hit among our guests, keeping the party going and upping the energy as the evening went along. Based on reputation and proficiency, there is simply no one else working in the wedding space right now more adept and worthy of recommendation than Dart Collective.

We were sooo happy with Dart Collective as our wedding entertainment. We had Jason on the discs and Noah accompanying on saxophone once the dancing got going. From the get-go, we knew we wanted the music to be a highlight of the evening, and Dart did not disappoint. Jason was a great emcee between toasts at dinner, and then once the dancing started he brought awesome energy on the decks. He perfectly captured the vibe we were going, seamlessly transitioning between Carly Rae, Donna Summer, Robyn, etc. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Folks told me the next morning they only were leaving to catch their breath, which is exactly what we were hoping for! It was awesome to see him mixing live. Transitions were dope, song choices were spot on, and his energy was infectious. I loved looking up and seeing him singing along as he queued up the next disc. Our sax player Noah absolutely shredded the whole time he was on! One guest captioned later: "if your wedding doesnt have a hot tatted sax player walking around the dance floor i'm not going". We weren't totally sure what to expect with the sax, we just knew we wanted to add a little extra flair, and we got that and more! Awesome solos & additions to all the songs he jammed on, but did so in a way that didn't take away from the song itself or make it only about the sax. The rest of the Dart team also made everything a breeze. Easy communications & friendly folks from the start. They had us fill out a structured music map so all our special moments & requests could be noted down (and they nailed everything we mentioned). Dart's maybe a bit pricier than your standard DJ, but the premium was totally worth it for the level of quality & professionalism they offered. Highly recommend Dart for any entertainment needs!

The Dart Collective team worked seamlessly with our wedding day itinerary from start to finish! They worked with us side by side for the weeks and months up until our big day and excellently executed our vision from cocktail hour through to our last song(s) at midnight!!! Our guests were floored by Ashley’s curated play list that moved with the changing vibes of the night and the horn trio was the icing on the cake - no pun intended! Every time we see our guests the first thing they bring up was how amazing the music and horns were! We can’t wait to use Dart Collective again!

We had a great experience with Dart and DJ Cassandra at our recent wedding! My husband is pretty picky about music styles, and Cassie really nailed the vibe and playlists for all portions of the wedding ceremony and reception. The dance floor was alive the whole night and everyone was commenting on how great the music and DJ was. She even let me play DJ for a bit! Would highly recommend Dart and DJ Cassandra for all your event needs!

My experience with Dart for our wedding in The Berkshires was nothing short of amazing! My husband wanted a DJ and I wanted a band, Dart had an incredible solution - a DJ with a trumpet & sax! It was really the best of both worlds, we could play a wide range of music and have the energy of a live band! Sam was great to work with, I felt like he really understood what we wanted and certainly delivered! The music was perfect from the cellist who played during the ceremony, the Bossa nova music during cocktail hour and then the reception.. everyone was on the dance floor, they did a great job of catering to all the people there - all ages & from different countries. We’re so happy we were able to partner with Dart and would definitely work with them again!

We first experienced Dart at my sister's wedding, and we were obsessed immediately. We knew we were going to work with them years before even getting engaged. Dart Collective is easy and fun to work with, they made the process exciting! They were easy to communicate with and very quick to respond to any and all questions. We loved the music map process and when it came to our actual wedding day they absolutely crushed it. OUR GUESTS LOVED IT! Dart really brought our vision to life. They are the DJ who will actually play what you put on your wish list and have an absolute blast doing so. 10/10 would recommend them for any and every event

Music was perhaps the highest priority for us in our wedding planning process, and early on we already knew we would have a somewhat unusual setup. We booked our favorite local band to play the wedding and unlike the usual wedding band they were going to play a shorter set and didn’t have their own sound equipment. So, we were thrilled when we found out that DART could handle not only the sound but also help find us a DJ who could complement the band and keep the dance floor going all night long. Just to throw another wrench in the works, we decided a few months before our wedding that we wanted a pianist for the ceremony as well, with a specific repertoire we wanted them to play and special attention to certain cues during our processional. DART quickly found us someone who could handle the task. So to recap, we had a full stage setup for the band, a DJ playing in multiple locations, and a pianist playing on a battery-powered PA alongside our ceremony sound setup, and we were able to do this all under a single contract with DART. On the day of the wedding they executed flawlessly, and we absolutely loved our DJ, Angelo. DART lets you fill out a detailed “music map” to help guide the vibe throughout the day, and Angelo picked up on our cues and added a few twists of his own that kept things fresh and kept the dance floor packed, which was everything we could have asked for. We intentionally steered away from some of the wedding dance floor standards, and he found the perfect balance of finding a unique sound while keeping the crowd excited. If you have a complex sound/music setup for your wedding, I can say that DART is probably more than capable of whatever you want to throw at them. We got compliments from our guests on every aspect of their work (including one guest who remarked that it was the best sound system they’d ever heard at a wedding) and we love listening back to the dance floor playlist they sent us shortly after the wedding. Thank you DART!

While planning our wedding, my husband and I attended a friend's wedding and were obsessed with their DJ/ Sax combo. They referred us to Dart and we are SO happy they did. Sam J. was amazing to work with and Sam H. was an incredible DJ (our guests booed when they announced the first buses were leaving) and kept the dance floor full all night. They even won over my dad who wanted us to have a band! I highly recommend working with them! 10 stars- wish we could do it all over again!

I'm so glad we went with Dart for our wedding DJ service! From our first conversation, it was clear that they truly understood our vision and were committed to making our reception unforgettable. I loved filling out the Music Map and it was really helpful to make sure we were on the same page. Andrew was our DJ and he was professional, on top of the timeline and kept the dancefloor full all night. I had a vision to turn our reception into a nightclub and they delivered! Thanks for making our day so fun!
