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. :)

e 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!

Dave made the entire process easy from start to finish. Getting a quote was quick and straightforward, and he worked with us to tailor his services to exactly what we needed. His p...
ricing was very competitive, the deposit process was simple, and there was never any pressure while we were deciding. He provided helpful music and timeline templates, answered our initial questions ahead of time, and then used our planning meeting efficiently to lock in all the important details.
On our wedding day, he delivered and then some.
The transition from our ceremony space to the dance floor was completely seamless. Every song cue was perfectly timed, and the microphones for our vows and speakers were clear and natural, without ever feeling like we were at a conference or on a stage.
Not once did we think a song should have changed or ended sooner. Everything just flowed perfectly. Looking back, it really does feel like magic.
Dave truly puts the focus on you as a couple. He has an extremely caring personality and demeanor. Not egotistical, but can still hype the crowd up (rare from what we've seen at other weddings). He genuinely cares about getting it just right.
We couldn’t recommend Dave more highly and will absolutely be recommending him to our friends and family. He helps you craft the night you’re dreaming of and brings it to life. We are hoping we get to see him again sometime soon!

Dave is someone who seemed like a friend from the start & I would recommend him to anybody! Thank you Dave for everything!

DJ Dave was the ultimate professional from the moment I had my first call with him through the last dance on our wedding day. He was always cordial, helpful and kind; his proposal ...
and contract were clear; he sent out planning documents to help us detail what songs we needed when; he asked detailed questions about what we wanted for the ceremony and reception for announcements and music. He was able to suggest ways things would flow well during the wedding when I had questions – all his experience as a wedding DJ really helped make our wedding day better. He took the time to meet with me shortly before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page with everything, which I really appreciated and which helped calm my pre-wedding jitters.
On our wedding day, Dave partnered very well with our coordinator to make the ceremony flow and reception wedding party introductions just the way we wanted them to be, and helped keep us on track with the flow of the early part of the evening festivities (first dance, cake cutting, speeches, etc). His delivery as an MC was smooth, professional and upbeat and his equipment worked flawlessly. He started off the dancing (as we had requested) with some of the grandkid’s favorites and then kept both adults and kids on the dance floor for the rest of the night! We really appreciated that the music was just the right volume – loud enough to keep you wanting to dance, but not so crazy loud that you couldn’t talk with anyone. He made periodic announcements and took care of anything else that we had requested throughout the night – he was so organized and took care of everything we had asked him to – leaving us to just enjoy the night. 😊 Several of our guests complimented me later on how personable, kind and fabulous DJ Dave was and I agreed with them! Thank you so much Dave – you were a big part of why our wedding went so smoothly and why we and all our guests had such a great time!

I was just so happy for you and David to enjoy the most beautiful weather, and a day full of love and warmth with your special collection of family and friends. I really enjoyed being a part of the experience, and thank you again for having me. Congratulations and best wishes to you both!

ed for our wedding — and completely nailed it. During our meeting before the big day, DJ Dave listened carefully to all of our requests for the reception and made sure every single one was honored. The music flowed perfectly, and the dance floor was packed all night — our guests are still talking about how much fun they had!
The transitions between songs were seamless, the energy was perfect, and DJ Dave knew exactly what to play at every moment. On top of that, the photo booth he provided was such a huge hit! Everyone loved it, and we had the best time looking through all the photos and seeing how much fun our guests were having.
DJ Dave went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, checking in with us throughout the night and keeping the timeline on track without ever feeling rushed. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable and creating the best party we could have ever imagined!

about 13 months prior to our wedding, from that call we knew we wanted to hire DJ Dave. He is very knowledgeable, personable, and so helpful! He sent us worksheets to help us prepare for our wedding and provided various recommendations to help us with the planning process. He also kept me relaxed and calm the day of as we had some shuttle service issues. He kindly checked in on me as we waited and assured me things would be okay. The playlists he curated for the different sections of our wedding (welcome, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing) were the perfect soundtrack to our day. I wish we could have had a longer wedding just to keep the music going! I highly recommend you hire DJ Dave!

On the day itself, Dave absolutely delivered. The ceremony music was on point, the cocktail hour had the perfect atmosphere, and once the dance floor opened, it was packed all night long. He has an incredible ability to read the room and keep the energy high while seamlessly mixing genres to make sure every guest both young and old they all had a blast.
We got so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the music was, and it’s clear that Dave was a huge part of what made our wedding so fun and memorable.

All of my guests commented on how upbeat he was as an emcee and a DJ, and how he created the perfect dancing playlist — people did not leave the dance floor during our wedding! We provided him with lists of songs that we wanted and he perfectly matched our vibe/added songs and remixes that were perfectly us. Compared to other quotes we got, we will also note that he has affordable services and uplighting packages, especially for the quality of service we received! We were so happy to work with DJ Dave, and would 1000% recommend to anyone!!

As soon as we had our introductory meeting with DJ Dave, we knew he was the right choice for us on our wedding day. He is beyond personable, friendly, positive, and supportive. He ...
knows his stuff and is professional! He got to know us before the wedding day with a virtual meeting we had together and asked us questions to tailor the day to our needs and wants. Dave was well organized and sent us a sheet to fill out regarding songs and introductions we wanted. He assisted us when we needed advice and was always open to suggestions. Come wedding day, Dave had a smile on his face throughout the night and kept the vibes positive and fun. He helped to keep the wedding day organized and the flow ongoing. We received so many compliments throughout the night regarding how awesome our DJ was. We also were lucky enough to use Dave’s new photo-booth which was another massive hit! Again, we received so many compliments about how cool the photo-booth was and the variety of pictures you could take as well as props. I couldn’t recommend Dave enough as a DJ for your wedding day!

He seamlessly blended the Greek and Scottish traditions of our wedding, creating a perfect mix that reflected both of our cultures. One of our favorite moments was when he played our special song just for the two of us at the very end of the night, a memory we’ll treasure forever. As well as our photo blitz to each table sponsored by the Ballroom Blitz!
In addition to the music, we used DJ Dave’s lighting, which added beautiful ambiance to the room, and his photo booth, which was a huge hit with our guests from start to finish.
We couldn’t recommend DJ Dave more highly! He was truly a key part of making our wedding unforgettable and planning so seamless!

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!

he 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 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 v...
endor. 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!

ibly 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!

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!

ng 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!!

st 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 lik...
e 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!

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 t...
houghtful, 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!!!

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!!

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!!
