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!

Dart Collective is the best in the business, full stop. From the start of cocktail hour to the very last song, they crafted a perfect vibe, which they took the time and care to customize for us. It felt totally personal and reflective of our relationship while still being a non-stop epic party for 200 people of all ages. Look no further!!

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 Dart's DJ and Horn Trio at our wedding and it was the best money we spent for our wedding. We worked with Dart to complete a Music Map to outline our music preferences and had a unique ask in the middle of the dance party and they executed above and beyond our expectations. We even had to switch DJ's the day before because our original DJ was sick but it didn't matter. The DJ was INCREDIBLE! He perfectly wove together a dance party for all types and added his own songs in that were straight BANGERS. The horn trio was the highlight of everyones night. They danced in the crowd with us and made the party so unique and fun. I cannot thank Dart enough for making our wedding the best dance party ever. I would book them over and over 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!

This is a long overdue review after our August 2024 wedding. Music was one of our top priorities for our wedding day, and we're so grateful we found Dart Collective. We had DJ + horns and percussion for our reception, and the entire planning process from the first contact until wedding day was seamless. Ruby was so dialed and great to work with, and we loved being able to add songs and edit along the way on the music map. We felt confident in choosing Dart Collective from the jump, and the execution was truly flawless. Misha was our DJ and he absolutely killed it. The music from cocktail hour through reception was exactly as we imagined it, and the dance floor was packed all night thanks to Misha + the live trio. Our friends and family are still talking about how hype the dance floor was. Thanks to the whole Dart Collective team for making our day so incredible!

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

Dart Collective was the absolute best choice for our wedding! These guys are the coolest—from start to finish, they brought incredible energy and made the whole experience unforgettable. Their music selection was spot-on, keeping the vibe just right throughout the night. From chill cocktail hour tunes to a dance floor that never emptied, they knew exactly how to read the room and keep everyone moving. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had! Thank you, Dart Collective, for bringing the party and making our wedding so memorable. You’re total legends, and we’d recommend you a million times over!

Hiring Kat from DART Collective for our NYC wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We were easily able to make song selections and be as specific as we wanted. Kat and Sam got to know our style and took our directives, while at the same time leaving room for spontaneity on the day of the event. The cadence was perfect and served as the most amazing backdrop for our party. Her style was relaxed and made the whole vibe feel upscale and effortless. When I think back on our wedding, the some of the first things that come to mind are some magical dinner moments with our favorite songs playing and the perfectly-timed hits that got our parents and friends all on the dance floor!

Can't say enough AMAZING things about Dart Collective. They think of every possible music cue and important moment for a wedding. Their admin team was super helpful every step of the way. The logistics team made sure everything was set up and in place perfectly. Every time I had a question or concern they answered quickly and with great advice. They matched us with amazing artists who made our day unforgettable and kept everyone on the dance floor.

SO happy we went with Dart Collective for our wedding. We hired their band the Shrines for our celebration and to this day, our guests are still talking about how great they were. They made the vibe perfect, curated songs exactly for the crowd, and the team on the back end made preparation smooth and stress-free. Can't recommend them enough!

Highly recommend them for weddings!! Sam was our wedding DJ and he really listened to and understood our vision. He brought such a cool vibe to the wedding and the guests loved all of the music. Everyone on their team was really responsive via email. Filling out a music map helped it feel really customized and not like a "typical" wedding DJ!

We couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to choose Dart Collective for our September wedding. From start to finish, they delivered an unforgettable musical experience that truly represented us as a couple. Sam and the horn trio brought an incredible energy that kept the dance floor packed all night. The string trio was equally as wonderful and made all of our playlist dreams come to life! What really set Dart Collective apart was their ability to curate a playlist that perfectly reflected our preferences and personalities. They took the time to understand our tastes and crafted a vibe that felt uniquely ours. Their professionalism, versatility, and attention to detail were outstanding, and we received countless compliments on the music. If you're looking for a musical entertainment group that can create a personalized, unforgettable celebration, Dart Collective is the perfect choice. Thank you so, so much to Sam & the team for making our wedding unforgettable!

Amazing music vendor for our wedding, we highly recommend going with Dart collective. One of our top priorities for our wedding was good music. Dart Collective came through with flying colors and made sure everyone had a blast. They were excellent at following our music map, and building upon it. In fact multiple guests came up to us throughout the night and after the wedding to compliment us on the music/DJ for the cocktail hour, dinner, and of course the dance floor after the reception. Big shoutout to DJ Angelo and the rest of the Dart Collective team.

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!

Cannot say enough good things about these guys! We had a DJ from Dart at our wedding and they played amazing music, were flexible and adaptable with our venue (my in-laws 100 year old house), and worked within our budget. Made our evening so magical! Would highly recommend.

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!

Consistently awful DJ Dave was on his phone, missing key moments and cues. He missed the wedding party entrance. He was late on the bride and groom entrance. He was late on the cake cutting music. Dart and the Bride had agreed to a custom curated playlist and cue sheet. DJ Dave kept switching to the “Dart approved” top 40 budget hotel wedding playlist all night long. I guess he never noticed the empty dance floor because he was too busy on his phone. We also used Darty instrumentalists. The sax player was out of key all night. It was not worth it. All in all, I spent $6,000 (they demand to be paid up front) for crappy service, bad wedding vibes and no recourse.

Music was everything to us, and when we pivoted from our plan of having a live band, I knew we needed an amazing DJ. I had already saved Dart Collective on Instagram, so when they were on our venue’s (SmogShoppe) recommended vendor list, I knew I had to reach out. It was one of the easiest tasks to check off our list, and every interaction was seamless and easygoing. We had our DJ Paul for the entire event – from pre-ceremony to dancing – and he absolutely nailed our vibe. We gave him a lengthy song list on our mind map, allowing us to hear our favorite songs while allowing him to craft perfect song choices, transitions, and flow. The energy on the dance floor was exactly what we hoped for, and people came up to us all night saying how incredible the DJ was. It felt like they really understood our vision and brought it to life. I would work with Dart Collective again in a heartbeat!

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Dart! After attending our best friends' wedding where we loved the music, we immediately asked them who they used and they directed us to the very helpful and very fun to collaborate with team at Dart. They really speak to those who consider music to be the most important part of the night. Their approach in working with you as a couple to find the vibe and must play songs of the night was perfect. Dart was communicative from our first video chat conversation all the way to the week of the wedding and even after. Loved everything they brought to the table!

We couldn't speak more highly of Dart. Sam was the absolute best to work with, responsive, easygoing, and very open to working with us to try to achieve our music vision. On the actually day of our wedding everything was totally seamless and we couldn't have had more fun - all our friends were raving about the music. So thankful to Sam and team for both being extremely professional and also bringing the best vibes!

Hiring Dart Collective was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! DJ Paul + sax had everyone on the dance floor from the second it opened up until it was time to leave. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend using Dart Collective. They made the process extremely easy on us during the wedding planning stage and blew the event portion out of the water. Thanks again Dart and DJ Paul!

Many of our guests called our wedding "the most fun wedding ever." Thank you Dart! We hired Dart for our wedding in Cabo in the Spring. We went with the 3-piece horn band and DJ, and they were amazing! Many of our guests even told us it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. We attribute a lot of that to Dart! The entire process was easy, and their service was top-notch. Our wedding was nearly postponed due to a family health crisis, and Dart was accommodating in helping us explore our options. Fortunately, we were able to continue with the wedding as originally planned. We provided a bunch of playlists in advance, and they paired us with a great DJ. Phil and the horn section killed it with a funky set that kept our 180 guests of all ages and music tastes dancing all night. At 10, we transitioned inside to an “after party” with more of a disco/house vibe, and Phil switched it up like a pro. I work in music and used to be a DJ myself. My wife and I have a very eclectic music taste, and I could not be more critical. These guys knocked it out of the park. If you are considering hiring Dart for your function, they are worth every penny, and I cannot recommend them more highly. We also hired a solo performer to soundtrack our walk down the aisle and play for our guests during cocktail hour. He was great as well!

Dart is the best! We found them when our friends hired a dart DJ for their wedding. It was the most fun wedding and that was largely due to the music! Kyle absolutely delivered at our wedding. He paid close attention to our requests and the vibe was incredible!! It was the best investment we made for our wedding. Cannot recommend them enough.

John and I could not thank you and the team enough for being such an integral part of our day. We’re BIG music people and it was so important we found someone who just “got” the vision and what we wanted for the night - Dani and the team killed it and we could not be more grateful.

We found Dark Collective after a thorough online search, and their vibe matched our energy perfectly. Sam, our point of contact, was super communicative and made us feel very comfortable about their services. They were professional and organized, providing a music map app to streamline our preferences and minimize back-and-forth communication. Most interactions were via email, but they were always available for important phone calls when needed. On the wedding day, Isaac, our DJ, and the performers coordinated seamlessly with our wedding coordinators, and everything went smoothly. They were kind and professional, and their performance greatly enhanced the vibe of the night. The live saxophonist and percussionist playing along with Isaac kept our guests engaged and energized the room. The music selection was spot-on, adhering to our preferences perfectly. We absolutely recommend Dark Collective. They were fun to work with, delivered everything we asked for, and maintained clear communication throughout. There was no miscommunication, and they put on a great show. We would definitely hire them again. - Professional and organized with excellent communication. - Seamless coordination on the wedding day. - Live performance enhanced the atmosphere and kept guests engaged.

hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. The entire DART team are so talented and our DJ Misha was amazing to work with. They provided such a detailed outline of what we needed to provide to make our wedding customized to us and our guests are still raving about how fun the dance floor was. If you're looking for a fun party-hire DART Collective today! You won't regret it!

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 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.

Alex S

6/21/2024

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.

Hannah L

6/20/2024

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!

Lauren O

6/18/2024

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!

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!

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.
