Dave Mancini - MC/DJ

ding reception could not have gone better. We actually feel so lucky we got to work with him. From the planning process to setup, to event time, he's just on point. He also worked hard to understand our vision and music preferences for the entire evening - from cocktail hour to party music to lighting and MC duties. Memories to last a lifetime, thank you Dave! This is actually the second wedding we've seen him work on and each event was distinct in music and style. He really caters the entire evening to your vision and executes on that flawlessly.

rst song to the last, Dave perfectly read the room and played the ideal mix of tunes to keep our guests engaged and energized. The flow of the music was flawless, transitioning from romantic ballads to upbeat dance hits. Dave even took the time to personalize the playlist to match our tastes, which made the experience feel even more special. The energy was electric, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the music. The sound quality was top-notch, and every transition was smooth. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to bring our wedding day to life. If you’re looking for a wedding with a perfect soundtrack, look no further! Dave made our day unforgettable. Thank you for creating memories we’ll cherish forever!

course the big day. A true professional. Beyond that, Dave truly made us feel taken care of. He took time to get to know us and make our wedding uniquely ours. We told Dave we wanted to do a hand fasting during our ceremony. Within days, he prepared a ceremony script which made us cry. From the ceremony to the dance floor, he made sure there wasn’t a dull moment. Dave even made a video of the wedding highlights afterward. He went above and beyond from day one. We couldn’t have asked for a better Officiant, MC, and DJ. Thank you for making our dreams come true.

energy in the room soared. Their ability to read the crowd and keep everyone engaged was truly impressive. Dave curated a fantastic playlist that seamlessly blended different genres, ensuring there was something for everyone. Whether it was a slow dance or a high-energy track, they knew exactly when to switch it up to maintain the perfect atmosphere. As an MC, Dave was equally exceptional. Their charisma and professionalism shone through as they interacted with guests, making everyone feel included and excited about the festivities. Both had a knack for keeping the momentum going while also ensuring everything ran smoothly. Overall, I cannot recommend Dave enough! If you're looking for someone who can elevate your event and create unforgettable memories, look no further. Thank you for an incredible experience!

m, we knew he was the perfect fit for our vision of our wedding. He is fully vested in you and wants to ensure that your day unfolds exactly the way you dream it will. He asks all the right questions so that on the big day, there are no questions - all you have to do is show up and he and Johanna take care of the rest. We have the best memories of our day and Dave had such a big part in it! We will definitely hire them again for any big event and you should too!!

and his communication was exceptional. Everyone danced the night away making it so much more special. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our Wedding spectacular!

ng the way. People were dancing the whole night and said it was one of the most fun weddings they had been to! We couldn’t have asked for a better MC/DJ!

nce and I, he made our day feel like a dream. The dancefloor was never empty and I kept hearing from guests that it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. On top of that, he knows how to break the ice with guests and truly make the room feel the love between not just the couple, but friends and family too. Dave, you deserve the world!

unlike some other "DJs" out there, he actually knows his stuff when it comes to audio. He also proved right away that he shows attention to detail and safety -- taping down cables and sand-bagging his speaker stands. He showed outstanding professionalism through his communication with all the other vendors, ensuring we were all on the same page and that the couple's day would run smoothly. During the reception, his personality shone, proving that he's not just a pro at logistics, but also knows how to address and entertain a crowd. I was sold. So when it came time to hire vendors for my OWN wedding, Dave was the first person I thought of. What better way to know that your DJ will be awesome than to have personally seen him at work at another wedding? After one Zoom meeting, my fiancee (now wife) was sold too. First off, Dave could (and should) be charging MUCH more for his stellar services. So you get him at a steal! But also, he has an awesome personality, takes communication seriously, has plenty of experience to bring to the table, and is just an all-around great guy! Both our wedding planner and venue coordinator raved about how awesome it was to work with Dave. (For those keeping count, that's now 3 wedding industry professionals who swear that Dave is the best.) Despite being based in Santa Clarita, he made a point to do a walkthrough of our Escondido wedding venue with our venue coordinator months ahead of the date, working out unloading details and more. My wife had a very specific vision for the ceremony music, and Dave executed it all flawlessly. On the day, he acted as a second coordinator, keeping the day going smoothly and keeping the good vibes flowing. He even surprised us at the end of the day by presenting us with a mix CD of our wedding day playlist -- an amazing personal touch. And then he kept the connection going by sending us a handwritten thank you card -- a gesture so often overlooked and underappreciated. Hiring Dave for your special day is one of the best decisions you could make. If you value professionalism, awesome communication, and *good vibes*, DJ Dave is definitely the way to go. You won't regret it.

g, it truly transformed the event space. Dave was also very attentive and checked in with us...even when we weren't responsive. 10/10 would recommend

y high standard. Dave's level of professionalism and attentiveness to our wedding was remarkable. He not only learned our wedding timeline, he even helped make it! His experience and attention to detail showed from the first day we hired him all the way to the big day. As a master of ceremony he was in charge of moving the party along and took that stress out of our hands. Beyond all that, the music was amazing. We requested several different genres and songs in different languages and even so, his music was on point all night. The dance floor was packed from the beginning of the party to the time they had to kick us out of the venue. You cannot find a better MC for your wedding or special event. Thank you Dave!

lessly, our guests were comfortable and knew what to do next, and we had an EPIC dance party which will forever live on in my memory. We had many guests tell us after the wedding that they've never had so much fun on the dance floor than at our wedding reception! Not to mention, Dave really takes the time to get to know his clients through personal meet-ups so he can personalize his announcements. His communication was so prompt and positive every time. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone who is planning a wedding :)

r my daughters vow renewal / wedding. We did a Zoom meeting with with my daughter and then another one with my son in law. They both liked him and it was a go from there. He helped me every step of the way. Helping us with time guidelines, music and whatever else we needed. He worked with the Hyatt to make sure everything would run smoothly. We all liked him so much, he wasn’t just the DJ, he was also the Officiant for the wedding. I would highly recommend Dave for any wedding, party or any occasion. All our guest were telling me how much they like Dave and that made me very happy. You want your daughters wedding to be the best and he definitely made it that way.

and excitement for our wedding made it feel like he was planning his own wedding. His ability to put together the various songs that we had requested even made my husband dance more than I was expecting!!! We highly recommend making Dave a part of your wedding!

son as people, not as just clients. Dave was accessible, caring, and organized, always working to keep us on track in the most helpful of ways. He took initiative and shared his past experiences in order to help us have a smooth evening. He was willing to work with us, with our budget, and figure out how to make something happen. In the end, we were glad to have booked with Dave. He respected us, made us feel comfortable, and always checked in to see what we needed or how he could be of service. Those are qualities you would expect in a day-of coordinator, not necessarily your DJ. He really steps up to the plate. Just know that when you book with Dave, you're getting quality and care.

ception. Dave was truly the MVP that made our wedding come together as effortlessly as it could have and kept the party going all night. While I could blame the alcohol, I’d rather say it was Dave’s perfect execution of our playlist for our music themed wedding that had me, a non-dancer, on the dance floor nearly the entire night. We are also delighted to not only have this professional relationship but also a newfound friendship with him and his lovely wife, who also was a blessing on our wedding day. Thank you, Dave and Johanna!!!

a great job keeping everyone on the dance floor!

helped organize the wedding from ceremony to reception to perfection. He made it incredibly easy to have fun with our family and friends and making sure we had nothing to worry about the whole time. We are incredibly grateful for him and his services. You made our wedding special and made life long memories we will cherish forever. We highly recommend him for your DJ/MC needs.

e had absolutely no problem getting back to us, and making us feel like we were no bother. Pre- wedding he was fantastic, communicative, and flexible. Now the actual wedding day, he was... EVEN FREAKING BETTER! All of the guests loved him, he played music that all ages danced to, he took requests, he had lights, his own sound system, had games for the groom and I to play for our guests, spoke clearly and loudly through the mic. He was just and absolute dream. He even surprised us with a video that he took at the reception that his wife took of us. If you want a smooth, non stressful, confident, and memorable wedding, book Dave to be your DJ! Thank you Dave, you were absolutely amazing!

and the dance floor was never empty or felt awkward. We definitely chose wisely and we'd use him again. Thank you, Dave!

ept everyone entertained and the dance floor was never empty! We will recommend him to all of our friends and family.

and helped us navigate through details we'd overlooked. We really, truly appreciate Dave's professionalism, his ability to incorporate our favorite music and specific songs for different moments within our party! Dave was spot on in getting our guests feeling welcome, breaking the ice and motivating our guests to be actively involved in the party! We cannot say enough about Dave. His set up was amazing, from his sound system to the up-lighting to his stellar personality! Thank you from our hearts Dave; you made our party a truly memorable time for us! Wendy & Pat

! He had everyone on the dance floor and was able to direct the wedding flawlessly. I could not recommend Dave more for your wedding. You will not be disappointed with him. Thank you so much Dave!

nce. He was thoughtful, attentive, easily accessible, and actually listened to the quirky nuances we wanted for our special day. He and his assistant Ronnie did an AMAZING JOB on the big day; they were adaptable and always kept their finger on the pulse of what was happening to make sure all transitions and moments were captured while also keeping the party ALIVE! We could not have had this beautiful day without Dave. We would easily choose him again for any future party/DJ/MC services. Thank you thank you thank you!

ble. He was great to work with and helped personalize and make our day so special!

gether to make an amazing party! He was even able to restart the dancing after it had died down! More than his great work during our event he was very understanding during the COVID closures. We worked with him for just about 3 years because of the pandemic and we can't think of a more amazing and understanding person. We cannot recommend him enough!

ve minutes into our first meeting with him, we knew we had to have him there on our big day. He was warm and welcoming, but we could sense the sheer excitement and passion that he brought to the table. Not many people can say that their vendors stuck by their side throughout a handful of postponements due to Covid, but when it comes to Dave, we can. He kept our spirits up by consistently checking in with us despite having to postpone our reception several times. His passion and confidence never wavered and he certainly brought this same energy to the event! He consulted us every step of the way, worked his magic, and played songs that made our guests laugh, scream, cry, and most importantly, DANCE! He worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure that our reception was perfect. We watched as he got everyone on their feet and somehow got family and friends that we have never seen on the dance floor to truly enjoy themselves. Dave was seriously one of the best parts of our entire event. Dave, thank you for sticking by us for all this time, turning our reception into the most fun nights of our lives, and for exceeding our expectations. You are a true talent and we are forever grateful for you!

ted him to DJ/MC our wedding this May 2022. And boy, were we happy that we made this decision! From start to finish, DJ Dave was quick to respond, easy to work with, gave us suggestions on how to make our wedding night "flow", and was there for us in times of stress! He had our backs throughout the entire process, especially the week leading up to the wedding. On wedding night, he played mostly all of our requests and kept the crowd entertained. His way of transitioning from one event to the next was seamless. He did the "Hug & Hi Five" which people are still talking about to this day....I think after that, the dance floor was packed for the entire rest of the night. We couldn't have imagined a more magical night!! Thank you for everything DJ Dave!!

s NEVER empty. It was always full and my friends are still talking about how great the music was. Dave is kind and really knows what he is doing and cares about his work. We will recommend Dave to everyone we know!!!!!

book him to MC/DJ our very own wedding this year. He never fails to get everyone on the dance floor. He is such a fun MC/DJ and I highly recommend him!!! His communication throughout the wedding process is top notch. DJ is the best ever!

more. He was so friendly, fun, and assuring that he can address every concern. Our main concern was that our guests were not going to dance and would leave early, because of it being late at night and not into some of the music. Well Dave not only assured us that it would not happen. He also went above and beyond his role. He helped us through a extremely big situation with the wedding during the last 3 months. He helped guide us, others, and the event flawlessly. Not once were we worried from day one of meeting him to the end of the event. What does everyone REALLY need to know about Dave? He is: professional, ethical, kind, insanely generous with his time, trustworthy, absolutely devoted to his job and is someone we want to have around for EVERY event. He is forever a dear friend of ours.

for years. He is warm, funny, friendly, kind and has attention to detail. He has helped us tremendously in our vision of words, music, and vibe we wanted for our wedding. We had been to a wedding previously to hiring him that he had officiated and MC and enjoyed it so much, we knew who to book for ours… you can’t go wrong with Dave… he helps to make your special day even better then you anticipate it to be!

en some. He is a true, genuine person and we put all our trust in him to provide us with an amazing night to remember. So many of the guests commented on how funny and entertaining he was. Our reception was a dream come true and Dave helped make it a night to never forget! We originally booked Dave before the pandemic and then when we needed to postpone our wedding, Dave was VERY accommodating. If anyone is in need for an MC/DJ, we highly recommend Dave Mancini! 10/10 Stars!

g and executing a wedding very smooth! I asked him to combined two different songs for the father/daughter dance and he did it perfectly! He got the crowd up and excited for the night. He kept the night on track (time-wise) and helped us through all of the formalities. Could NOT imagine having anyone else DJ/MC our wedding. Highly recommend!!

pt in contact with us regularly and informed us of any updates with regards to wedding restrictions in LA. On top of that, he was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and professional with every encounter. He also allowed us to have a smooth ceremony and reception with a music selection that fit our tastes. We would highly recommend Dave for your DJ/MC needs!

pt in contact with u

and he had great suggestions that I didn't even think about. He also offered to contact our comedian and work out the details with him directly so I didn't have to worry about that either. I would 100% recommend Dave for your next event.

to May 2021, Dave was so understanding. He was very flexible, and we appreciated that he did not require any re-booking fees and was there to support us with any decisions we made. Flash-forward to one month before our wedding and we had to change venues. It was very stressful, but Dave was there to give some recommendations for new venues which we appreciated so much! We ended up going with a venue which was used to having its own vendors which presented more challenges for Dave, but if there was anything that went awry, we didn't know. The night was amazing! Dave used some of our personal stories to make connections to our guests. One friend even asked if Dave was a family friend because it seemed like he had known us so well. Dave also got the whole group of about 100 guests up and dancing almost immediately! He played all the types of music we requested and overall was an amazing MC at a very fair price. We thank Dave so so much for helping us finally have the dream wedding we've wanted for 2 years!

dding date was rescheduled due to the pandemic. Dave was so accommodating and flexible from the very beginning. Even when our venue told us they couldn't host our wedding only 2 and a half months away, Dave was open to traveling for us. Having a destination-style wedding in Vegas meant that there were a lot more moving parts compared to the all-inclusive venue we had before. Dave was like our team leader, and really played a role in bringing cohesiveness amongst all our vendors. Also, since we had a wedding during the pandemic in Vegas, dancefloors were not allowed. We wanted our guests to still be entertained, so we decided to have a fun game night! This was no problem for Dave. He presented us with a ton of ideas for games to play with our families,  such as the "Shoe-lywed Game," The Not-So-Newlywed game, and a scavenger hunt (just to name a few.) Our friends and family had a blast, and every guest we've seen since keeps telling us it was some of the MOST fun they've ever had at a wedding. They didn't miss a dancefloor at all. Not to say we didn't get to dance a little bit. Aside from the first dances, he was still able to come up with a way to distance our guests in a large circle around the room for a last group dance! It was such an epic way to close our big day. If you are looking for a vendor who is communicative and creative, then look no further. Thank you, Dave, for the best day we have ever had!
