Alex was our DJ at our 8/10/24 wedding in Avon and he was seriously amazing!! I think a good DJ is the most important part of having an amazing wedding and we had the absolute best and he made our night perfect! He sent us a spreadsheet in the beginning to organize all of the music we wanted played for specific dances and do not plays and must plays. He played every song on our must play during reception and dancing and everyone had an incredible time. His DJ skills are so impressive being able to transition songs and his set up was so professional. Seriously not a bad thing to say, Alex was amazing, you need to book him for your wedding!

Hey Jessica & Jeremy- thanks again for going out of your way for the kind words. I'm happy to have helped out with your wedding-- it was a blast! Glad we got a picture for the memories too.
Alex was absolutely amazing as my wedding DJ! From start to finish, he made the entire process seamless and stress-free. He provided a detailed document where we could list our must-play and do-not-play songs, as well as track all the traditional dances, which kept everything organized and on point. On the big day, he truly delivered—keeping the dance floor alive all night long! I honestly didn’t sit down because every song was energetic, lively, and perfectly curated to keep the energy up. It was an unforgettable experience thanks to his outstanding talent and professionalism. Highly recommend!
DJ Bertie was FANTASTIC! Communicative, professional, and trustworthy. We had a super fun dance party and we received so many compliments on the DJ. The dance floor was full to the very end!
Any questions?
DJ Bertie was so accommodating and easy to work with! His communication with us made our day so much easier. It was amazing how self efficient he was and he got straight to work! The best part was obviously his set list that he tailored to us and our party. He was able to read the room and keep people dancing all night long. He's a true pro!
If you are looking for an amazing DJ, look no further! DJ Bertie made our dream wedding a reality! It was important to us that our dance floor was hyphy, which was a bit of a challenge with the wide age group of our audience. DJ Bertie slayed it an had everyone gettin' down - it literally could not have been any better. Thank you so much DJ Bertie!!!!

Hey Zeb- getting all ages on the same page for the entire night can sometimes be tricky, so I'm stoked to have made it happen at your wedding. Thank you for taking the time to post this, I really appreciate it.
DJ Bertie was absolutely phenomenal! The most consistent compliment I got after the wedding is how much awesome our DJ was. I wanted a non-stop dance floor and that is exactly what I got. The music choices were great, the mixing was flawless, and he read the room perfectly. Best vendor decision I made!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2024
Thanks for the kind words Eliza, I'm happy you had a great time and we nailed the music. This type of comment keeps me fueled and is encouragement to put in even more effort into DJing weddings and beyond!
DJ Bertie SLAYYYYED!! He did such a great job that not a single one of my wedding guest sat down the entire night. My wedding was a week ago and my dad just called me to tell me how awesome and fun the DJ's music was and that everyone had such a good time. I definitely recommend him as he made the entire wedding planning experience worth all the hard work! DJ Bertie is great at communicating, he was flexible with our schedule, and I wouldn't hire anyone else!!

Hi Robin & Ben, your wedding was a BLAST. Alex and I are working on the videos and we will get the mixes to you ASAP... the ones we've looked at so far are awesome. Cheers!
DJ Bertie was our DJ for our wedding in Buena Vista on 9/6/24. He was amazing!! Our venue was a challenge for equipment setup with the amount of space inside the rehearsal space, plus an outdoor ceremony location. Additionally, there was inclement weather towards the end of the evening that slightly disrupted our timeline. Alex handled all of these challenges like a true professional. He adjusted his plans with little notice and brought additional equipment and an associate to ensure each location had excellent sound. He pivoted with the timeline change and offered suggestions for an alternative that ended up being so fun!
Also, Alex really just made our reception so so fun! He was clearly very skilled with mixing music and reading the vibe of the group on the dance floor. He brought a full out dance floor lighting system as well which added so much to the vibe! My new husband and I had a blast partying with our guests and are so thankful to Alex for making that possible!!
DJ Bertie was fantastic! He played our wedding reception in Silverthorne and I couldn’t imagine a better person for the job. He put in a lot of effort to plan with us and coordinate before the wedding and then made all of the announcements and songs fit perfectly into the reception. Also if you want a DJ who can really MIX, DJ Bertie is the one for you. I got compliments from so many of our guests about the music selection and transitions. He was playing classics and new hit songs, and flips and edits, and had everyone singing along the whole night. The energy in the room was incredible. It was a really great experience, and I can’t imagine a better DJ for our reception.
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2024
Ben!!! Stoked to have met your needs with the music. I remember everything from the start of dinner and onward was GO GO GO, especially with the dancing. Thanks for having me.. definitely a wedding I won't ever forget.
Alex was absolutely fantastic for our 6/20/24 wedding! Music was one of the more important elements of our day and Alex exceeded our expectations. Alex is a skilled DJ who was able to read the room of our friends and family, and perfectly mix one song to the next. From the moment we started planning our wedding we wanted a specific mix of two songs for our grand entrance to the reception and Alex perfectly executed that. We can’t recommend him enough!!
DJ Bertie was AMAZING! He came all the way to Steamboat for our big day and we couldn't be happier with his DJ work. He was incredibly communicative prior to our big day, and was so nice and easy to work with. He kept the party going all night, there was truly never a dull moment! Thank you Alex!

Thank you for keeping me in mind and choosing me as your Wedding DJ. It was a blast and very eventful day!! I appreciate the photos too :)
We had DJ Bertie at our recent wedding in Frisco Colorado, and by the number of people who said they were sore the next day from dancing so much-- shows just how fun it was. He listened to our music requests, as we were wanting more 80s and 90;s music, as well as our kinda original requests for songs In the ceremony and first dance etc, Our only regret, not booking more time for the music to have played longer.
Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2023
Hey Aaron- thank you for taking the time to post a review, it means a lot! It was really fun being able to play a lot of classics and disco with some modern music thrown in the mix. Hope you two are doing well and thanks for letting me DJ your ...
wedding. -Alex
Alex was fantastic. Really happy we were able to use a local guy, and he definitely exceeded expectations! Would certainly recommend him to anyone in the future. He was communicative on letting us customize just how we wanted.
Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2023
I appreciate it Ryan, it was great having the opportunity to work with you and Jillian. Alex also sent me some photos/video from the evening, so thanks for letting me have access to those as well!
My WIFE did a phenomenal job researching all of the vendors for our wedding. She and I are regular music goers (40-60 concerts a year, music festivals, etc.) and we wanted a dance floor full of energy.
DJ Bertie communicated super clearly and efficiently about needs for the wedding and timeline for speeches, microphone handling. On our big night once the dance started the energy stayed high the entire time until he ended.
We approached him zero times with requests, didn't see anyone in our party approach him with any requests. We let DJ Bertie do his thing and he got everyone at the wedding moving.
Throughout the night I had multiple people come up to me and say the following items about DJ Bertie and our experience:
-"Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a better dance party at a wedding."
-"He really takes his job seriously, he's been live mixing this entire time."
-"Where did you find him!?!"
-"He's been throwing bangers this entire time." (to be clear on this last comment he played everything from oldies to remixed classes to new stuff like Fred again... and due to his live mixing it was seamless.
Do yourself a favor and hire DJ Bertie for your wedding or event if you want people to dance. He also helped us with our photo booth process which was a huge hit.

Wow, thank you so much for going out of your way to write this. Especially coming from your entire wedding party and guests who are avid concert-goers, this truly means a lot to me! I'm happy you and Giselle had a great wedding and I could nail...
everything from the traditional wedding classics straight through various EDM genres-- there was never a dull moment. I appreciate you guys!!!
Alex was awesome! He was able to roll with last minute changes to our ceremony and went above and beyond for our reception! He made sure to ask all the important questions before hand so there were no mix ups on the day of. He kept the party going once we started dancing and did a great job responding to the crowd. Well done!
Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2023
Thank you Jillian, I'm super glad to hear you and Ryan enjoyed the DJing portions of your wedding. Thanks again for choosing me to DJ and I wish you two the best!
Alex absolutely crushed it for our wedding in August 2023 - couldn't recommend him more if you're looking throw an unforgettable event.
From the pre-event meetings getting on the same page to all of the A/V setup on the big day. He was a pleasure to work with and is an incredibly skilled DJ!
We wanted to have a big-time dance party at our wedding and Alex made sure it was a night we will never forget. I would give him 10 stars if I could 😂.
Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2023
David!! You and Lauren's wedding was one I'll never forget-- I wish we could relive the entire day again at least one more time (haha). Especially when it came to the grand entrance and dancing portions of the evening, the entire wedding was a ...
vibe. Thank you for choosing me to DJ your wedding.
We booked Alex for a wedding in Leadville this fall. He was great to work with and make the entire process nearly painless, even when we pivoted in the final month and requested additional help with providing A/V services at our remote ceremony site. He was patient with our delays and last-minute changes, and did a fantastic job of reading the crowd, accommodating requests, and keeping the energy of the room moving. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat.
Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2023
Hi Chad- thanks for going out of your way to write this, it is much appreciated. I'm happy everything worked out to your liking. I will definitely be in touch regarding a flyer or two in the near future. Thanks again!
Alex was fantastic as our wedding DJ this past June. First off, I have to commend his flexibility. Unbeknownst to us, he and our wedding planner faced day-of challenges head on and he ensured our music was perfect in both volume and quality for our dinner and speeches. He was in great communication with our planner which made for seamless transitions. Once it was party-time, DJ Bertie did such a great job mixing up the classics with some older tunes to keep both our families out on the floor for the majority of the night and then turned up the energy for our younger friends who were sticking around all night.
DJ Bertie is next-level because he doesn't just hit play and let a song go until the conclusion. He is actually mixing the songs, blending them and even creating some really cool and original mashups during the night which we really enjoyed. He was very prepared and professional throughout our experience working with him and gave us all the tools we needed to outline our "must plays" and "do not plays" allowing for a level of customization that is up to the couple. We chose to give him some guidance and then trust his experience and craft and we're so happy we did, he helped make the night unforgettable! Thanks Alex!
Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2023
Thank you so much for the thoughtful response and I'm glad everything regarding the DJing met your expectations. Everything you wrote is what I strive for each time I DJ - especially a wedding - so I'm appreciative this is how you interpreted m...
y workflow. There's sometimes a challenge to get the older crowd and younger crowd on the same page with dancing for a long period of time, so it was awesome it worked out so well with your group. Wishing you the best.
Alex was amazing! He was so easy to work with and really took the time to get to know my now husband and I. He was so detail oriented with the timeline and absolutely nailed it on our wedding day. Our guests had so much fun! Thank you, Alex!!

Kelsey- thank you for going out of your way to post this. I'm glad everything went smooth on both our ends and I'm wishing you the best!
DJ Bertie was a fantastic DJ. He was extremely responsive and helpful during the planning process and played an awesome set. Really appreciated working with him and absolutely recommend him for any wedding party!
Response from the Vendor on 06/12/2023
Thanks again for taking the time to post this! Your wedding was a blast and I hope to see you and Candace again in the future.
Alex is amazing! Super communicative, easy going, able to read a room with music, style and grace. He made a point to understand the schedule, wedding vibe and got there early to set up, chat with us and make sure things ran smoothy. The music was on point -- all the bangers with wedding songs, upbeat, slow, etc. He also mc'ed the event and crushed it. Highly recommend!
Alex was a great DJ. He had the perfect family friendly playlist that kept the dance floor full all night. He was able to accommodate requests and had a really fun light set up.
Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2023
Thanks for taking the time to post this Alex. I'm looking forward to seeing you at future weddings around the area!
We have used DJ Bertie for several of our company events and employee celebrations. He is organized, detail-oriented, focused on keeping everyone engaged, and most of all - FUN! We have used him for silent discos, recruiting events, parties, etc. In every instance he is on-time, engaged, and follows through on every detail. Highly recommend using him for any celebration or event!

Thank you for going out of your way to write this Kelly- I appreciate it. More events to come soon including the winter kick-off next week!!
Alex was the best for our intimate vow renewal ceremony! From start to finish he was prompt, professional, and attentive to our every need. He remains very reachable if any last min issues arise prior to event. During the ceremony he granted all of our unique requests and kept the whole crowd dancing. He was a perfect fit for our special night and we couldn't recommend him enough for someone looking for a non-corporate, personal vibe. He played awesome music and made us want to dance all night long!
Response from the Vendor on 10/20/2022
Thank you for taking the time to write this-- I appreciate it. Hope to see you and Chris in the near future and congrats again!
Alex is very professional, attentive, punctual, and exceeds expectations at every opportunity. We met with him twice before the wedding date to discuss all of the details, and our unique requests. He made it a point to not only understand our music requests, but he also got to know the two of us, and our guest lists, so he could provide the perfect music throughout our ceremony AND reception. He handled all of this by himself with a big time constraint. He pulled off the perfect ceremony and reception just as we had discussed. His attention to detail, consummate professionalism, and genuine kindness will impress you!!! If you are looking for a sign in life telling you who to hire - take this as your sign. You will have your expectations met and exceeded by hiring DJ Bertie!!!

Hey Lyle & Alissa, thank you for taking the time to write this up.. I appreciate it!! It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding and provide the tunes.
Best DJ in the Valley! Alex is extremely organized and professional. He made sure all boxes were checked from announcing the wedding party in, to the couples dance, bouquet toss, cake cutting, and dance floor music. Friends and family at the wedding raved about how good the music was, and this was in part to Alex taking the time and asking about music request and overall wedding theme. Highly recommend Alex for weddings and any event that needs a DJ!

I appreciate it Emily and Kyle, thank you for leaving a review. It was super fun being able to provide the music for your indoor/outdoor wedding reception in Gypsum (awesome location). Hope to see you two in the future and please let me know if...
you're ever in the summit county area!
The BEST time!! We wavered forever about whether to book a band or a DJ and ultimately after talking to Bertie, decided that he was the best fit for us. And, hands down, the best decision. People were on the dance floor from the moment the reception began. We still have people talking about how much fun DJ Bertie was and how great it was to not have your typical, boring, wedding DJ. He was mixing and moving allll night long. It was awesome. I can't say enough. Best advice I have, don't waver, just book Alex. He's awesome.

eys meandering around with the booze (haha).
We loved DJ Bertie! He was so incredibly helpful for our wedding, from the moment we initially reached out to discuss thoughts, to the night of. He was on top of all of the coordination and communication and really listened to what we wanted. He had never been to our venue before but that didn't matter! He showed up early and got so setup that it flowed flawlessly. We had a lot of personal requests and DJ Bertie played those and also played a lot of crowd favorites. He also made it so easy when it came to the speeches and having others use the mic setup. He really knew what our party needed! We would 100% recommend him for any party/wedding/event you may have.

We hired DJ Bertie for our wedding in Steamboat and he was awesome. We had some strange requests like wanting to do the silent disco thing and he was happy to make it happen- even going out of his way to research cheaper options for renting the headphones. Professional but down to earth- he really customized things the way we wanted. Definitely recommend the guy!
Response from the Vendor on 07/21/2022
Hey Mike- thank you for keeping me in mind and allowing me to provide music for your Wedding up in Steamboat. It was a really fun time and I wish you two the best!

I can't say enough about DJ Bertie. He was very responsive and helpful during the planning process and remembered everything that we wanted to do during the reception. The whole night was smooth and flowed very well. Would use again

Thank you for the review! It was a pleasure to work with you and your crew/Heavenly Days Events at the Steamboat Wedding.

DJ Bertie was fantastic! We lost our first Dj due to schedule complications. We contacted DJ Bertie , once we had our first conversations we knew that he was our Dj. He is super responsive with questions a d the type of music we wanted. I highly recommend him.
Response from the Vendor on 05/31/2022
Thanks for keeping me in mind and glad I was able to help out with music for your party! The review is much appreciated.
-Alex
We met with Alex about serving as our wedding DJ and he was very friendly, accommodating, and willing to provide us with the music style we were looking for in a really hospitable way. Alex spent an hour getting to know us, asking about our history, our desires for music, what the venue was looking like, leaving us feeling like we had a strong rapport with him even with the intro being entirely over Zoom. Alex brings a vibe that is fun, committed, passionate, and above all else - ready to please the hosts. He made sure to check in with us whenever he needed a response or had an update, and he never let details drop off. If you need a DJ for your wedding, Alex is a great fit that you can feel confident about.
I have known DJ Bertie for nearly 20 years. Since around 2010 or possibly even before then, I have had the pleasure of watching him DJ weddings, bday parties, clubs, retirement parties & much more. In fact, he DJ'd my mother's wedding! He is always professional, on time and goes above and beyond what the client is expecting! Better get ready to dance all night long when Bertie is in charge of entertaining your party! I highly recommend him to anyone. He is worth the price, in fact, his price is steal for the quality he brings!
I've attended two weddings that Alex DJ'd. He keeps it crisp, fresh and on point with his selection and always keeps the party hype. I highly recommend DJ Bertie for your next event. You won't be disappointed!
I recommended Alex to my friends Brian and Kate for their wedding where he did an outstanding job. I have attended several of his gigs where he keeps the guests moving and the music flowing..
Response from the Vendor on 02/03/2022
Thanks for the review! This Wedding was held at the Black Point Beach Club in CT during Summer 2014.
Alex DJ’d Zach and I’s Wedding at Copper Mountain last Summer. Everything from the start of the Wedding during cocktail hour, through the Wedding Party introductions, all the way through the end of the night dancing was a blast. If you are looking to get people in your family dancing who don’t generally dance, this is the DJ for you.
Feel free to reach out to me for a reference: Ms.scarlet.in.the.ballroom@gmail.com
Alex DJ'd our Wedding last Summer in Estes Park, CO. He provided us everything from the pre-Wedding planning, all the way through Wedding Party introductions, announcements, music selection, and more. He was always on-call and ready to answer any questions we had, or adjust any of the timeline itinerary.
We went with the DJ+MC package which was affordable, yet still included dance lighting and microphones for our Toasts. Would definitely recommend this DJ, especially if you are looking to dance and have a party/club-themed type event!

Thank you for the review Catherine and it was a pleasure to be a part of your Wedding, we had a blast!
I saw Alex at a few local events. I’ve really enjoyed his mixing style and the way he is able to read the room. He is also a good announcer.
My fiancé and I hired him for our wedding, and have been extremely happy with his pre-wedding planning and services.
