Dart Collective

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!

Jordan was amazing, intuitive, funny and great with the flow, as the kids say (don't they?). Hire these people!

ight. 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.

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!

as 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!

whole evening incredibly memorable. Everyone was saying how much they loved the music!

he 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!

music flowed seamlessly. Thanks Eddie!

ng. 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!

ce 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!

ect! 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!

on with making sure everything was in order before the big day! Everything went so smoothly.

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.

r 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!

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.

g 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!

ntioned 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.

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!

formance - 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!

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!

at 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!

orksheet 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!

e 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

as well, which always adds to the over all fun. 1000/10 would recommend!

and the guests. Highly recommend!

ick and easy, and the DJ really took our input into consideration. Our DJ showed up on time with a big smile and rocked the party! We also arranged for a saxophone to accompany our DJ which I HIGHLY recommend. Shoutout to DJ Jason and the team at Dart!

r been to a reception where the dance floor was more consistently full. And they were super responsive throughout the planning process and were great to work with every step of the way. We truly couldn't recommend them more highly.

nd I loved their repertoir. For dinner and the reception, we had a DJ. The DJ, Jordan, was fantastic. He really got what we were going for and created a great mood, reading the audience very well. The wedding was slightly less than 50 guests, many people hadn’t met before, and there was a range of ages. Pretty much everyone danced! enthusiastically too! It was one of the highlights of the night. Many many people commented on the music selection and how great the DJ and musicians were. Would hire them again in a heartbeat. The whole team at Dart Collective are very friendly, relaxed, positive, and highly professional and helpful. Exactly what you’d want in a wedding vendor.

tion of the day and evening, with seamless transitions, and a vibe that was totally on point. During the planning process, we appreciated their attention to detail and the questions that they asked of us to ensure that our favorite songs were played (and our least favorite were not lol), and that there was a little something for everyone! I would echo what other reviewers have said, they make the party!

ccommodate not one, not two, but THREE modified wedding dates over the course of the past two and a half years. They honored the terms of our original contract and always operated with integrity, which made the postponements sting a lot less than they otherwise would've. I have underlying health conditions that put me at increased risk for COVID complications, so I can't stress enough how much it meant to be on the receiving end of their flexibility, kindness, and understanding over the past couple of years. Everyone always tries to manage the couple's expectations by assuring them that things WILL go wrong on their wedding day, but the team at Dart helped us execute a flawless event from end to end. We opted for two sound setups to cover our ceremony and reception spaces and Dave did an amazing job coordinating with the other vendors to ensure seamless sound coverage across the evening. My husband and I really enjoyed working through their music map exercise and feel Dave really captured the most important elements of the playlists we sent him ahead of our event. Dave did an amazing job reading the room and kept us on the dance floor the entire evening. He held a couple of songs while we left to go take sunset photos so that we could dance to them with the group (My nephew's favorite song is "Sunflower" from Spiderman and he was waiting all night to dance with me. Funnily enough, the poor kid was almost falling asleep while we were dancing cause he'd been going so hard on the dance floor all night). He even humored a rogue request for the cha-cha slide (very considerately asking for permission from the bride and groom before playing -- turns out it was a hit). Working with Dart is a no-brainer! We're still listening to all of our playlists from the event and it's just the best way to come back to how we felt celebrating that night. We'd recommend them again and again!

rovided us with a "music map" that we filled out detailing specific songs and artists we wanted played during different parts of the wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc.). Dart Collective CRUSHED it at our wedding - everything was on point. Professional equipment, great sound, and thy closely adhered to our preferences and were just overall an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot recomment Dart Collective enough - you will not be disappointed!!!

cool and overall Dart was super easy to communicate. Don't think twice, just book them! Our wedding was in the woods in Northern California and it was not a problem for them at all.

t vibes. We had to postpone our wedding (not one but twice!) due to COVID, and they were flexible and supportive throughout the whole process. I'm so grateful they saw our wedding through to the end. Dan, our DJ, did such a great job of honoring our music taste, taking the requests we gave him and creating an entire evening that produced the exact vibes we were looking for. They brought everyone—and I mean EVERYONE—onto the dance floor, and it was the best dance party of my life. We were all so bummed when it had to end! We would hire DART again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything—you guys are such gems.

loves (and dislikes, more importantly) and their crew were able to find our vibe with the help of the provided musical map and keep it going all night long. Our wedding guests are STILL talking about how much the music added to the atmosphere. Easy to work with, very down to earth and communicative, and deliver amazing results.

ing and after party - maybe 6 hours straight of a packed dance floor. It was a dream! Thank you Paul for making our wedding the party we hoped it would be! Also, your glasses were fire.

My husbands nephew loves music and always goes to concerts. He said was going to take the early shuttle but didn’t want to leave because he liked the music too much!

or popping with a hot array of disco, soul, and post punk vinyl, and made every music cue sharp and perfect. Their custom vinyl set up is gorgeous and really elevates the event. I would absolutely recommend working with DART for your wedding or event :)

equested and some selected by our DJ, Tyler. Cannot recommend Dart enough for a wedding or any other event!

and I am BEYOND happy that we decided to go with Dart Collective. They came highly recommended from both our venue and our photographer, and for good reason! Jesse & Julia were so friendly, helpful and quick to respond. They made it a priority to get a sense of our musical tastes, and I’m so glad they did because Jackson and his assistant Misha brought the party to our wedding. My husband and I joked that as soon as we heard their sound check, we knew we were in for a good time because they played “1999” by Prince. And we were right! Every single cue was on point, and the general flow was absolute perfection. They got our vibe completely, and I only left the dance floor once during the entire reception. People were commenting to us for weeks after the fact about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding. Not only would we hire them again if the occasion ever arose, but I selfishly want every couple I know to use them at their weddings so a fun dance party is guaranteed. It’s the most crucial part of any wedding, and Dart Collective gets it right.

w great the jams were. Everything was so well organized and professional. It all ran so smoothly and we appreciate the detailed questionnaires and information they collected from us to truly make our silent disco so personal and great!! Thank you so much to the whole Dart Collective team. We can't thank you enough!

histication and quality as Dart Collective. We have a wide range of music that we listen to, with some definite odd-ball musical choices. However, they nailed the flow and feel that we were shooting for in a way that felt natural and perfect for our group of guests. They have a wide range of musicians and DJs, and the DJ they paired us with, Paul, was an absolute gem of a human being. He was so easy to work with and was so chill. Even when the dance floor was empty, he kept on trucking and provided just the perfect ambient music that aided conversation that helped keep things light, but popping. We don't have a huge crowd of dancers, us being nerds and all, but I could see people grooving even while they were sitting on chairs resting from just busting moves. We loved and enjoyed the music map they sent us to get a solid grip on how we, as a couple, liked and wanted the music at our wedding to feel. They were excellent in making sure they had the right versions of songs that we requested for important moments in our wedding. Paul even double-confirmed the time signature of when to end our first dance song, since we didn't want the whole song to play. A lot of DJs forget or don't follow up with couples, but he was very thoughtful for our needs. We can't recommend the Dart Collective enough, they're all lovely and worth your time and money. Listen to their samples, you won't be disappointed!

sy). I appreciated that they wanted examples of our musical taste ahead of time, and on the day itself they absolutely crushed it. Tyler was our DJ and did an amazing job— lots of our guests commented on it too. I’d use them again in a heartbeat for another event!

and work with one of their DJs. It made it easy to figure out what parts of the day they would cover, how the music for our day would flow, and which songs would play for key moments (processional, recessional, grand entrance, parent dances, etc.). When the day came, they hosted things beautifully. They covered every part of the day—ceremony, cocktail hour, reception & party—and their performance was *chef's kiss*. They took the song suggestions we gave them and crafted a perfect flow for the evening. Their transitions were particularly incredible, moving seamlessly from Mo-Town to House to Rock to Pop. All of our guests came up to us during the party specifically to tell us how incredible the DJ was. Shout out to Andrew & Kayleigh for putting on an amazing night! Long story short, if you want a DJ for your wedding, party, bar/bat mitzvah, etc., go with Dart.

interested in doing a silent disco which we mentioned and it turned out they do that too! We submitted a music map they provided giving insight into our music style and other details about the day. We wanted the silent disco going for the whole after party because we weren’t doing the traditional reception timeline or first dances - just a fun party to celebrate. The headphones fit everyone, including our 6 year old nephew. Our DJ was Paul, he was communicative day of and just a super person! The staff at Dart was all around great and we appreciated all the bits they put together to make our day so special and fun! Music was a very important part of this day for us and everything went smoothly, I would highly recommend.

them. They were attentive to the songs that we requested and helped cultivate the exact vibes that we wanted at our wedding. Prior to the event, they were extremely communicative and easy to talk to regards to any issues that came up. The DJs came early to our event to set up and ensure that every went smoothly throughout the night. Their DJ booth setup was also really hip and classy, which fit well with our overall vibe. We’d highly recommend Dart to anyone that’s looking for a great DJ group!

input as we wanted by building a music map, listened to our opinions and wishes, and constructed the perfect flow of music throughout the night. It was the perfect balance of what we wanted and what our guests wanted. On the day of, Dave read the room, was communicative yet self-sufficient, and met our needs perfectly. I found myself loving the music and getting excited about songs that he chose throughout the night, and many of our music-minded guests mentioned how wonderful the music was. EVERYONE was dancing, vibing, and feeling connected by the end of the night. Dave, we are so grateful for your music expertise and for making our wedding a dance party. Ruby, Jesse, and everyone at Dart - your communication style and organization is top-notch, and we will be recommending you, just as you were recommended to us, to friends for years to come.

e very communicative and accommodating as we had to delay our wedding for around 2 years during the pandemic. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jordan, and the Dart Collective team, for any wedding.

ate our original date. Dart's music map they send you is super detail oriented and helped us plan out the exact feel we wanted. Logistics wise Chris, Jesse, and everyone at Dart was super responsive and made us feel at ease with the planning. On our actual wedding day Eddie absolutely crushed it incorporating so many genres throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing that felt so organic. From disco hits, to Miami bass, to modern pop, our guests had the best time. We could have danced all night to Eddie's mix.

with a vintage 60s-70s vibe mixed with some Tropicalia and French pop and shifted into full on Robyn Call Your Girlfriend freakout levels of dancing by the end of the night. He nailed the songs, the transitions, and the cues. But most importantly, he read the dance floor and played songs that would get people to boogie while still adhering to our request to avoid typical wedding songs. If you want a DJ that knows what you want more than you do, go with Dart's roster. They made for a killer night!

had a high bar for our wedding DJ. Dart took my vision, perfectly timed the ceremony songs, created the perfect cocktail hour vibe, and NAILED every moment of the reception from first dances, to getting guests on the dance floor, to the most AMAZING Silent Disco! YOU SIMPLY MUST HIRE DART! They are the BEST in the biz. Thank you Ian and Kate for everything!

for the reception and a soloist for our ceremony. To be able to have all the wedding music under one company just made everything so smooth! We booked George K. to play the guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour and were blown away by his talent. We loved his repertoire and sound, and he even learned two new songs that we requested for our ceremony. He was such a nice guy and loved how he set the mood for our day! For our reception, we had Jordan B. as our DJ and he definitely got the party started! Based on the "music map" my husband and I put together, Jordan played an awesome mix that got guests of all ages immediately on the dance floor. We only wish it could have lasted longer! Such a dream of a day that could not have been possible without Dart!

ht/last song. We hired a live saxophonist to accompany the DJ and we're so glad we did. It added the coolest element of live music to a DJ set and our guests LOVED it!! They even went above and beyond and played "Always be my baby" at the start of dinner. Our guests followed the saxophonist from cocktail hour to where dinner was being hosted and it was such a cool transition!! Your DJ is also super important as the emcee of the night and Dan did a great job announcing things but never being cheesy or over the top. For sure hire them if you're looking for a wedding DJ/band.

rk with and responsive every step of the way. A few months after booking, we found out that our venue was shutting down, and we had to reschedule for a new date and a new venue. They made the process to switch everything SO easy and we were relieved to know they had our back through such a stressful time. Our wedding was on February 5th, and we are still smiling and laughing thinking about how fun the dance floor was, and reliving the memories with our guests too. Every single song our DJ Jason played had us dancing and singing like we were at our favorite SF bar (our vision!!) and he absolutely nailed it, and he was SUPER fun too. Not to mention Wes, our sax player, was a standout part of the whole day. Multiple people from our wedding have asked for Dart's info to book them for their weddings too, and have told us that the sax element specifically was so memorable because it was so different, fun, and cool. Don't hesitate to add that on, it's worth every penny! If we could have changed anything, we would have added on more time with Wes. At the end of the night, we were having so much fun that we asked the DJ Jason to stay one more hour, and he was more than accommodating (and wow, it was so worth it). I can't say enough great things about Dart, Jesse, Michael, Elaine, Chris, and Kate (along with Jason and Wes) were an absolute delight to work with and by far our favorite vendor from our wedding. THANK YOU DART!!

info for Dart to use at their own wedding.

Dart team was thoughtful and detailed. The team was responsive and happy to provide advice/suggestions throughout the planning process. Dart provided a thorough planning document that helped shape the vibe and plan for the music throughout the night. They even went out of their way to custom edit a song to play for our recessional after our ceremony. We so appreciated all of the thoughtful details Dart incorporated into our wedding. Our guests said it was some of the best music they've ever heard at a wedding. The sax player we booked for the reception even came out onto the dance floor with our guests at one point, which our guests absolutely loved! If you want a highly customizable music experience for your wedding, book Dart now!

g them as our DJ. They were professional, responsive, and made our wedding day a 10/10 (according to our guests reviews). Weeks leading up to the wedding they checked in to make sure our music recommendations were completed and they were aligned with our planner. They took out hot mess of a music preferences and DELIVERED. We had Aaron as our DJ and he long story short- he just got us. There was a point in the night when he played three punk rock songs (my husband and I were high school friends who went through the punk rock stage together) and I swear I felt we were back in high school and the dance floor was poppin'. Overall, great experience- the only DJ you should book. Promise they are worth it.

I thought we might need to go in another direction. I reached out to Jesse anyways, and to my surprise he told us that they do travel for weddings, which was super exciting. In our initial conversations I knew they were the right choice because they completely understood the vibe we were going for and every music reco they made was totally inline with what we were already thinking about. We had to wait a little longer then expected (because of Covid) but once the time came Jesse and Stu (the DJ) were so awesome to work with. They were super collaborative and made the process of putting a playlist (together) for each moment super easy. It was so valuable having their expertise of what would work/wouldn't especially given that we didn't want the music to feel like most every other wedding you go to. We wanted to play as Kendall Roy said "only bangers" :)...but wanted the music to feel representative of us, which isn't the easiest thing to pull off. The day of the event it was beyond obvious how important of a part Stu played in the overall vibe of the reception. Everyone loved the music (we received a ton of unsolicited comments saying so) and more importantly everyone got crazy on the dance floor. We can't recommend Jesse, Stu and the Dart team enough. Shayan and Caroline P.S. - even Caroline's dad made a point to say how great Stu is and he's a man of few words :)

e wedding! Everyone was blown away - the silent disco may have been the best dance party I have ever been to... and that says a LOT. Big shout out to Dent for his expertise in getting all our guests jamming on the dance floor all night - both nights.

lly well, he had smooth transitions and he kept the party going all night! Our two most memorable photos from the night: 1) everyone on the dance floor absolutely breaking it down and 2) Jason (the DJ) enjoying the hell out of himself. Couldn't have been any better - I only wish I had another reason to hire Dart for an event.

DJ yelling things the whole time or during the introductions/speeches (big pet peeve of ours lol) as it's rather distracting. We expressed this from the start and they assured us they don't operate this way but rather more understated and blend into the vibe of each event they do. We were very excited to work with them. We postponed 4 times since April 2020 and they were with us every single step of the way - it's not easy for a business to be that accommodating but they rolled with every change and even sent us some kind words each time we had to postpone. Onto the wedding - we wanted a guitar/singer during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guitarist was beyond amazing - we requested Knee Socks by Arctic Monkey and Get Back by The Beatles to be played during the processionals/recessionals and he played them beautifully. I wanted to walk down the aisle to a guitar version of I Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkeys as we'd do our first dance to the album version of the song and he played it perfectly, it completely set the vibe for our ceremony and gave me chills once I heard it playing. The music he played and sang during the cocktail hour was ideal and blended in so well with everything. Russ our DJ absolutely NAILED IT. My husband and I are more into indie Oasis/Killers/Arctic Monkeys/Kooks/Streets/Strokes type of music and during the drinks and dinner service he played all of those things, but literally one song after the next of everything we love. Our friends are into EDM at parties but even they were loving every song. It set the perfect mood for our dinner service/speeches and getting people on the dance floor. I can't express how much we loved the song choices, it was an amazing start to the party portion of the night. I have to admit, the EDM songs of our college days were spot on, I did not expect to dance that much but every song was spot on. My partying friends and family were loving it. I also noticed during our after party, he went through different like periods of songs almost giving like a "rest" time every so often which was perfect for the flow of the night. Also, I noticed whether it was an amazing song or not, he was always engaged with it - I really appreciated that, hard to explain but it made the whole experience better. I've been at weddings where the DJ looks bored asf or texting, but he was leaning into each song and it was awesome. Anyways, this was super long winded but COULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM MORE - don't think twice, just book with Dart. Thank you for making our day beyond magical.

as awesome. And we were lucky enough to be assigned Ian as our DJ and he is TRULY the best. I want to throw parties now just so I can have Ian DJ them, because he BRINGS the party. Just from a quick phone call he totally got the vibe we were going for. He played the songs we requested, but also was great at reading the room and finding songs he knew would get people on their feet. One of the best moments of the entire night was when after we finished our very last song at the time in which we were scheduled to be finished at our venue, Ian ran back onto the mic and said our venue was letting us stay a bit longer and he kept spinning for another 30 minutes. It was like when your favorite band comes out for a second encore! It was the perfect night and Ian, Joey and Dart were a big part of it. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!

he horns section, and they absolutely brought the house down. Can't tell you how much positive feedback I received from our guests. Thank you, Dart Collective!

rought such awesome energy for our wedding and after party. We've also been told we had the most epic Horah to date. We enhanced our DJ package with a saxophonist for 2 hours and it was the perfect addition to the night. Can't go wrong with DART!

, did just that! He integrated all my favorite latin songs, a bit of harry styles and some country tunes as well. it was magic!

were also pretty particular about the type of music we wanted played, and not played, and Our DJ Paul was awesome to work with. He took in our requests, really sought to understand and play the music we cared about, and read the room perfectly. We added on a live solo sax artist and he absolutely killed it! It was a vibrant addition to the night and a truly memorable surprise for our guests and helped keep everyone on the dance floor until 2 am. We would highly recommend Dart DJ Collective for any event!

was very understanding and well versed on these ordinances so we didn’t have any issues on our wedding day. We used Google Docs to collaborate on music requests and cues for the day and this made everything very easy. I would highly recommend DART DJ Collective for any special event!
