Dave Riley
Owner
Since a very early age, music has always been my passion. From my tape-recorder radio shows, to a few (very noisy) lessons with various instruments, and eventually to that first set of turntables at age 12, the draw was always the same; the personal reward of playing good music and watching people have fun! Decades later with a resume built on both private events and club environments, it's the familiarity and experience as an open-format DJ that allow me to spin an all-encompassing mix or more genre-specific set for any occasion. At the end of the day my personal motto is simple; keep it professional, keep it fun, make it memorable. :)

DJ Dave was an unforgettable part of our wedding this June! From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with—organized, attentive and excited to be a part of our special day. He made the entire planning process a breeze, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our day without a single worry. Dave expertly handled all the mics and sound during our ceremony and speeches, then flawlessly transitioned into party mode for our reception, keeping the energy high all night long. We also added his Photo Booth to our package, and now we have a collection of amazing photos that perfectly capture the fun our guests had. If you’re planning a wedding or event, do yourself a favor and book Dave — you will be so glad you did!

DJ Dave exceeded our expectations and was a true pleasure to work with. For us, music was one of the most important aspects to our wedding. We wanted to make sure we hired someone who could turn our somewhat complex vision into real life — exactly how we wanted and with all the right touches.
From the moment we spoke to Dave, we knew we'd found the right guy. In fact, our initial phone call with him was an hour long - it was very free flowing and we all bounced ideas off one another for most of the time. Dave was professional, attentive, and genuinely excited about making our day special. He took the time to understand our musical tastes, our "must-play" list, and even more importantly, our "do-not-play" songs — ensuring the vibe was exactly what we envisioned.
On the day of the wedding, Dave was a true master of ceremonies. He seamlessly transitioned between different parts of the evening, from the heartfelt ceremony music to the lively cocktail hour, and finally, to the epic dance party at the end of the night. We had a unique bride vs. groom 'dance battle' idea that we wanted to showcase, and Dave helped us plan everything to perfection. He transitioned the songs flawlessly and helped to make the battle such a big hit.
The dance floor was absolutely packed all night long, and that's entirely thanks to DJ Dave's incredible ability to read the room, keep the energy high, and play the right tracks at the right time. He played a perfect mix of classics and contemporary hits (from our suggested shared playlist , as well as his own recommendations) that had guests of all ages on their feet.
Beyond his fantastic music selection, Dave's announcements were clear, concise, and perfectly timed, guiding our guests through the evening without ever feeling intrusive. He truly understood the flow of a wedding and executed it to perfection.
If you're looking for a DJ who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your event unforgettable, look no further than DJ Dave Riley. He exceeded all our expectations and helped create memories we'll cherish forever. We can't recommend him highly enough!

We would have given him 6 stars if it were an option. Dave was an absolute joy to work with, both during the event and during each meeting leading up to it. I was shocked at how adaptable he was to our many music preferences, even letting us make some incredibly specific requests. He did an amazing job of working off of our playlist while also filling in the gaps with some excellent music that really curated the vibe we were hoping for on our big day.
Dave is an excellent value for what he charges and there’s really no world where you would be let down by choosing him. Get the uplighting too! Thanks again Dave!

Dave is the best DJ in the COUNTRY! He made our wedding an unforgettable experience.

I will save the trouble, if you don’t hire this man you are missing out on a great time!

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Dave for our May 2025 wedding. From the very beginning, he was professional, organized, and so easy to work with. He really took the time to understand what we were looking for, and it showed in every moment of our reception. The music was absolutely perfect, the dance floor was full all night, and so many of our guests raved about how great he was. One of our friends even asked for his contact info for her own wedding.
What really stood out to us was how flexible and calm he stayed when we had a last-minute change in our schedule. Without skipping a beat, he adjusted and made everything flow seamlessly. He was incredibly thorough, making sure every detail was covered so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was such a relief to have someone so capable running the show, we felt completely confident in him, and he delivered 100%.
Thank you, DJ Dave, for being such a huge part of our day. You helped create the fun, high-energy atmosphere we were hoping for, and we’re so grateful for everything you did to make it unforgettable.

Dave was by far one of the kindest, most competent and organized vendors we worked with during our wedding planning process. He had everything under control at all times and he really took the pressure off of us, we knew in his hands we’d have a fantastic dance party - and we did! The music perfectly blended old and new and was appealing to all ages at our reception from 30s to 60s. There weren’t any songs where you wanted to sit down or take a break - the dance floor was full all night! That was really fun for us and a relief to know our guests were having a blast. Dave was above all just the kindest person and hugest asset to our wedding reception, we can’t recommend him enough.

DJ Dave Was Great!
DJ Dave came highly recommended by an acquaintance and did not disappoint. Dave did a fantastic job DJ’ing our wedding. More than that, Dave was our favorite vendor. He was very personable and easy to work with, and he seemed to take a genuine interest in making our day as special as it could be. He provided us with planners that helped us get organized and streamlined the process. When we went over the song questionnaire, he gave us great feedback on our song choices, when we asked for it, but didn’t push us in any particular direction. Our list of favorite songs to play had everything from pop hits, to country, to metal, to hip hop and more. Not only did Dave welcome our eclectic mix, but Dave was able to work many of these songs into the wedding flawlessly. Throughout the wedding Dave always had a smile on his face and an aura of calmness that was reassuring, even right up until we were leaving the venue for the evening. A friend of ours is using DJ Dave for their upcoming wedding and we can’t wait to see him again!

Dj Dave is a true professional through and through. He really guided our guests through a great wedding night and played all of the tracks we requested. He even remixed our own personal first dance song.
Outside of the wedding night he was fantastic dj as well. He met with us multiple times to curate the evening, was willing to accommodate a wedding venue change for us and even offered to come a little bit early when our start times suddenly changed.
I can't recommend his services enough, he really made sure the evening went smoothly and was as special as we imagined!

DJ Dave was an absolute joy to work with. From the introductory phone call, to the night of the wedding, Dave was friendly, accommodating, supportive, and positive. Dave was incredibly professional during announcements and transitions throughout the day, but so much fun during the dancing portion of the event. He took our suggestions and built out a fantastic playlist that kept our guests on the dance floor for two plus hours. We enjoyed every second of working with Dave, and he is a huge reason why our wedding was perfect, and our friends and family commented on how amazing he was. We highly recommend him for any event!

DJ Dave exceeded our expectations. We were so comfortable with him from the start and he made sure to put in the leg work ahead of the wedding to tailor things to what we wanted and to make sure things went seamlessly. Not to mention that he brought the party! We let him know the type of music we were into and he more than delivered, even picking the absolute perfect last song which we asked him to choose for us :) I can't recommend Dave enough- he was truly one of the highlights of our wedding!

Dave was AWESOME!!! He answered every question I had super quick and was extremely accommodating to every request I had. My dad and I had a choreographed dance in mind for my wedding and I had come to dave hoping he could help us with the music for it! He remixed the perfect rendition of our slow dance into September (since I got married on 9/21). He was probably the only thing that day that went exactly how we talked about prior to the wedding and his experience is obvious. I would 10/10 times recommend him for any event but definitely for weddings! Thank you so much Dave!!

We cannot rave about DJ Dave enough. Even from our first email with him inquiring about our wedding, he was prompt and so on top of it all. Our Zoom meeting prior to our wedding just confirmed that we made the best choice for our DJ. We chatted and DJ Dave went over every single detail. He walked us through every process and answered all our questions with such detail. Even when emailing after out meeting, the amount of detail he gave me was beyond helpful for the day of. We got SO many compliments on how great he was and we couldn't agree more. He kept the party going and kept us on track timing wise. He was great at communicating and making sure everything went perfectly for us. We cannot wait to host another event just so that we can work with DJ Dave again! 1000/10 recommend!!

We had the absolute privilege of having DJ Dave for our wedding in September. From the initial meeting, we knew he was the man for the job. Right off the bat talking to him was like talking to an old friend, he is genuinely so friendly and such a master of his craft. We emphasized from the very beginning how much we love to dance and have a great time with our friends and family, and the day of he just hit it out of the park with the music. The ceremony and cocktail music was just as we asked. During the reception he played such an amazing compilation of oldies and new songs that had the dance floor filled all night, something that was very important to us. My 92 year old grandma was even out there breaking it down. We did not want the night to end, and cherish all the videos we have of everyone having the time of their lives. We are so grateful for Dave, he unquestionably made the night extra special and we’re so thankful for him and his DJ mastery! So stop reading this and go book with him now, you won’t be disappointed!

DJ Dave was amazing! We first met him when he DJ’ed a friends wedding and we knew we had to book him for ours. He is very attentive to detail, responsive and friendly. He made sure we had everything we wanted for our special day. He did an amazing job making sure our ceremony had amazing sound for all to hear, and keeping the dance floor packed all night. He made sure that we could enjoy our day with ease knowing that our music and night was in good hands. We are so thankful to have found him and highly recommend him for any new couple!

Anyone would be so fortunate as ourselves to have DJ Dave as a DJ for their wedding.
I have nothing but good things to say about our experience from start to finish. DJ Dave is thoughtful, thorough, and 100% goes the extra mile to ensure you have the experience YOU are looking for.
Dave was able to create a custom playlist for us which made our night that much more magical. Not only is Dave super personable, he listens just as closely. He was able hear what we wanted and translate that onto our dancefloor flawlessly. We also loved his on-the-fly song requests for the must have last minute songs. This set our dancefloor on fire.
He makes the process super simple from start to finish and made sure even the smallest of details were addressed (most of which I hadn't even thought of). This made not only the bride and groom feel special but also everyone involved in the wedding.
Dave is professional, kind, thoughtful and very easy to work with. We had so many last minute changes that needed to be made due to medical emergencies on our wedding day and Dave didn't batt an eye. He was able to adapt and deliver even on short notice...seriously, Bravo!
The custom lighting, the thorough planning, the effort put into his play lists, his ability to listen, think ahead, and deliver are only a few reasons why you should hire Dave.
If you are looking for the perfect dancefloor and experience, look no further than DJ Dave. I would hire him again and again for anything DJ related.
Thank you for an amazing night Dave!!!

Dave was our wedding DJ and he was absolutely wonderful to work with! We had an unconventional set up, where we had musicians at the beginning of our party, with DJ and dancing at the end. Not only did Dave show up early to set up, so he'd be ready to go, he also coordinated with the musicians and allowed them to use his sound system to make the transition smoother. In addition, he was very flexible when we had some last minute speech additions. Finally, and most importantly, he played great music and kept everyone dancing. If you're looking for a DJ, we highly recommend choosing Dave!!

On our intro call Dave took the time to get to know us, communicate his services, and answer any questions that we had. During the planning process he was organized and listened to all of our requests for entertainment. We told him that we really just wanted to keep everyone on the dance floor all night and he certainly delivered! Our guests didn't leave the dance floor once Dave started playing and we have received so many compliments from guests on Dave's DJ skills. Dave is personable, professional, and a very talented DJ. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for DJ services!

We hired Dave for our wedding back on June 1st this year & we could not have been any happier with our choice. We knew back when we got engaged that we wanted to have him as a part of our special day & he did not disappoint!
Dave is not only extremely professional and timely, but he also cared a lot about what we wanted and how he could help create an unforgettable night.
The day of our wedding we had a change in our bridal party entrance and Dave was accommodating and took the time to make sure everything was perfect. He also made our entrance so special by creating a mashup that we will always remember.
We spent the entire night dancing, laughing, and enjoying our company. We couldn’t have done that without Dave and will always be recommending him for his services!!

Dave was incredible for our small wedding. He took all of our requests into account, and played an incredible selection of songs that perfectly fit the vibe of the night. He was also a great emcee, and smoothly transitioned our guests from one part of the night to the next. We were able to meet with him via Zoom before the wedding, and all of our communication with him was prompt and professional. We would hire him again in a heartbeat, and recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ, no matter your taste in music!

DJ Dave definitely deserves more than 5 stars! He is an amazing person and DJ and we could clearly tell he loves doing this. His process is very thorough and it made everything for us very easy. He was always quick to get back to us whether it was a phone call or an email. We even made some ceremony music changes the night before the wedding and without skipping a beat Dave made sure everything went perfect. Dave always had a smile on his face and we got several compliments on our DJ throughout the night for his friendliness, set list, DJing skills, you name it. There wasn’t a single negative comment. We look forward to always recommending him to friends who are planning any events and hopefully we will get to work with him again someday!

Thank you Elaina, I'm so flattered and appreciative of the kind words. I can tell you that...
I felt the very same way working with you and Mark, and it was an absolute pleasure from the start of our planning right through the last song of the night. Congratulations!

Dave is amazing!! If you’re thinking about booking him for your wedding, don’t hesitate, just do it!
Dave is so nice, communicative, and fantastic at what he does! Plus, his prices are unbeatable! We loved every part of working with him. The meeting before the wedding was excellent!!! The day of he was so attentive and helpful, and I heard nothing but rave reviews and praise for him all night from our guests!
Our wedding day was perfect and Dave was an integral part of that! Honestly my husband and I are already wishing we had another event coming up so we can book Dave again!

I never ever do reviews, but I had to for DJ Dave's Mobile Entertainment!!!! He was absolutely FANTASTIC. All of our guest could not stop talking about him -even a few days after our wedding. My husband & I were told this was one of the best weddings people have ever been too. DJ Dave kept everyone on the dance floor- not one time was it empty. He played every song people requested and even incorporated some of our guests with being able to "press a button" on his entertainment set. (which was so fun) To begin his process you fill out his packet he gives you which was super easy- Everything is organized (even has a spot for the "do not play" list) which we for sure used! haha
I would hire him again just for any party.
Thank you DJ Dave for making our wedding so much fun!!
Always,
Gina & Ryan

yan throughout the entire planning process before your big day- which was certainly a party I won't soon forget... Your dad's strut starting the party off, unicorn bridesmaids, the guy with the coolest shirt in the party given the opportunity to hit the play button for Man, I Feel Like A Woman (which also made him scream "oh my god, I LOVE THIS SONG" LOL!!) ..it was just such a fun celebration with so much love in the room for you two. Thank you again for having me. Congrats and best wishes!

Book DJ Dave's Mobile Entertainment for your Wedding! We highly recommend his services! We knew from our initial zoom meeting 1.5 years in advance that DJ Dave Riley was going to be the right match, super fun, a huge hit and a highlight for our wedding. One month out, we knew he was going to knock it out of the park for us, and he did!
Dave is personable and very professional! His personal approach, interest and engagement with our story made us feel tremendously comfortable with his full support and dedication to our specific day. His partnership throughout the planning process truly stood out with the execution of our soundtrack and preferences. Dave knows how to read the room, engaged with guests and kept the crowd on the dance floor. He is flexible to adapt when needed and pitched in with memorable moments! For vendor services, these are points of difference!
It's evident that DJ Dave is a seasoned professional, committed to his clients, his craft, and very passionate about what he loves to do! He is a warm, fun and genuine people person! Dave's Instagram post at the end of our event was precious, heartfelt and simply above and beyond!!!
Thank you, Dave!

Lisa & Rich, thank you so much for the kind words. It was a wonderful experience meeting, ...
working and celebrating with you both. Right from the start I knew we had the same appreciation for the importance of a good soundtrack to suit the occasion, and it was a treat to spin those carefully planned selections. Keep that ballroom choreography handy and let's hope we can put those moves to use on another dance floor in the near future. :) Congratulations!

I could give DJ Dave 10 stars!! Wow what a great DJ! He made the planning so easy and made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident! We had a few planning meetings with DJ Dave before hand and we made a solid action plan for our special day! When we saw him on our wedding day for the first time it was like seeing an old friend! Dave is such a great guy and very professional. He made everything so easy and enjoyable! He created an amazing list of music and we partied hard! All of our guests were dancing and we continue to get compliments on how great our music was ! Dj Dave had fun lights and a perfect agenda of events ! Highly recommend!

Erica, you are the best - thank you for these kind words, I really loved working with you ...
and Jonathan every part of the way leading up to your wedding day, which was just gorgeous in every way, from the ceremony to the last private dance of the night. And that dance floor - WHOA, if that wasn't an EPIC Friday night, I don't know what ever will be! Congratulations again, thank you so much!

Hiring DJ Dave was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! He came highly recommended by a close friend, and from start to finish, he exceeded expectations! My husband was especially nervous about how music and introductions would flow, but immediately after our first meeting with Dave, he said that he was instantly relieved. Dave communicated clearly in order to gauge what was important to us, and then he really took control so we didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. We had a large wedding party (including nine children) and many nuances to our wedding (including a brother-sister dance instead of a father-daughter dance and a sibling flash mob to get everyone onto the dance floor), and DJ Dave seamlessly announced and transitioned. He even was able to get us our desired monogram last minute! My husband's father is a retired DJ, and he continued to rave about DJ Dave. We cannot recommend him enough if you want a professional, kind, and amazingly talented DJ for your next event! Thank you, DJ Dave!

Thank you so very much Leah & Jeff (JEFF! JEFF! JEFF!), I'm going to keep this thoughtful ...
review saved right here to never forget what an amazing Friday night we had in celebrating you two. The soundtrack we put in place set the tone right from the start, and both the sweet, tender moments and party-through-the-roof action made for one heck of a night. I hope we can find another opportunity to do it all again soon! Congratulations!

Dave is literally the most down to earth and most kind person you will ever meet! I had to change things last minute and he was more than willing to accommodate for me. Dave is upbeat and the BEST Dj and person. My wedding was on the 23rd this month and my guests have not stopped talking about Dave and how awesome he was, literally so many people asked for his contact info. They said they’ve never been to a wedding that had the dance floor filled from start to finish, I would highly recommend you consider Dave as your DJ. Dave, thank you for being a part of Kyle and I’s memories and big day. We can’t thank you enough!!

Wow, I can’t even begin to start writing how absolutely phenomenal Dave was. From the help and always quick responsive emails during planning months, to his calm and encouraging demeanor at the final planning stage I knew we were in GREAT hands. He helped my type A personality feel like this one part of my wedding I didn’t need to micromanage! He was INCREDIBLE and I got so many compliments on songs and the fun during the reception, as well as his leading and flawlessly executing each transition and lull in our ceremony. Cannot say enough and could not be more grateful. Dave is the ONLY choice.

Honestly it's too bad we can't give Dave more than 5 stars. Dave is super friendly and easy-going - just what we were looking for! He is really knowledgeable about appropriate timing for music and can keep the dance floor going (even people who don't like to dance were dancing!). We would definitely hire Dave again in a heart beat. Hire Dave - you won't regret it.

We absolutely loved DJ Dave! He was kind, warm, and collaborative from the very beginning of the planning process, interested in making sure he had all the details down, but also getting to know us as a couple. On the wedding day, he was totally prepared, agile and flexible in wild weather conditions, and had exactly the down to earth vibe we were hoping for. He did an amazing job with music throughout the whole event--and the dance floor energy was incredible! We loved having him as a part of our celebration and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal touch to the DJ/music experience. He is wonderful!
