Honestly, DJ Dave was the best decision we made for our wedding. He was so professional about everything. He coordinated with the other vendors to ensure everything was happening at the right times. He had an awesome setup that provided amazing lighting and sound for the dancefloor. And he’s honestly just the chillest dude ever. If you need a DJ for anything, you’d be stupid to not go with this man. Couldn’t be happier with our experience.

Thank you so much Jordan & Holly for sharing these kind words. Your wedding day was one of the sweetest, most loving and comfortable celebrations I've experienced in all of my years doing weddings. And I truly mean that, it was such a pleasure....
Thank you both for inviting me to be a part of your day. Congratulations - and thank you for all the cupcakes! =)
We worked with Dave for our wedding this September, and it was so much fun! We could tell right away that Dave had alot of experience, and was very prepared with his thoughtful questions and recommendations leading up to the big day. And day-of he did an excellent job making sure everything went smoothly.
Dave, thanks so much for making it an amazing experience we won't ever forget!

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!!

rience with you both. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your day. Congratulations!!
Any questions?
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!

Thank you so much Angie & Alex! Your wedding was one for the books, a genuine celebration of epic proportions from beginning to end. It was wonderful getting to know you both and working together in preparation of the day, and I hope our party ...
paths may cross again in the near future. Congratulations! Don't forget to beep! =)
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! Thank you DJ Dave!! You are amazing!!!
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!!

some experience. Thank you for having me!! Congrats!!
DJ Dave was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He was very thorough to make sure everything was mapped out perfectly and was very flexible with any changes that we had requested. Dave is personable and professional, truly a great addition to our day!

Thank you Al, it was such a pleasure working with you and Josh. It was amazing to see all of your plans come together so perfectly, on such a gorgeous day with smiles from start to finish. Thank you for inviting us to be a part of the memories ...
- Congratulations and best wishes to you both! =)
Our experience with Dave as our wedding DJ was phenomenal from beginning to end. 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!
Dave is amazing! super great at communicating, switching it up when needed, and making our vision come to life! He nailed our wedding and I will definitely reccomend to any of my friends getting married in the future

Umm, can we even talk about *THE* biggest dance party of the summer?!? THANK YOU Tayla & Brendon for having me! It was so wonderful meeting and celebrating with your family and friends, I'll never forget it. Congratulations!
We love DJ Dave! He is so helpful and so much fun to work with. He played all our requests and some of our guest requests too. He’s also a great MC! We found Dave on the Knot but we first met him at my brother in laws wedding and he was so much fun at both! Highly recommend
Highly recommend!!! Dave was so easy to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. His song choices were fantastic and he helped to keep our celebration running on time and right on track. I would not hesitate to hire him for our wedding all over again!
Everyone needs DJ Dave!!!!!! From our first call to our big day, Dave understood what we were looking for and delivered! All our guests were talking about our DJ - because yes he’s that good!!! Highly recommend DJ Dave for your next wedding or event.

Thank you Shannon & James for an absolutely unforgettable night! It was a wonderful experience right from the get go, I hope we have the opportunity to party together again soon! Congrats! =)
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!!
DJ Dave is the man! We hired him for our wedding and every step of the way he made sure to have a plan for everything. From the pre wedding conferences to the event itself we felt Dave had it covered. He was very adamant on getting everything right from the beginning and made sure our needs were met. Also, he is a great human being. He brought the PARTY! I would recommend him for any event and if we ever have another event in Massachusetts we will be hiring Dave.
A+++!!! DJ Dave was professional, polite, and responsive to all of our requests before and during the reception, and he brought great music and energy. We are so happy and look forward to planning our next event with him!! Thank you DJ Dave!! ❤️

John and Cathy, the pleasure was truly all mine! Two of the sweetest and most genuine people I have had the pleasure of working with, and your collection of family and friends made for such a memorable celebration. I was absolutely thrilled to ...
see the entire evening go off with such a bang. Congratulations and best wishes to you both!! =)
A+++!!! Such a wonderful night and DJ Dave was a key part of our fun and fabulous wedding reception. He brought positive energy and enthusiasm, played great music, kept the party going, and added lighting to the venue. He also played all of our requests and made key announcements, adding special moments for us, our family, and friends. Professional, patient, and responsive in every interaction. We are so happy and look forward to booking our next event with him. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you DJ Dave!!! :)
Dave was really great to work with! He did a lot of preparation leading up to the big day(equipment, ceremony, songs, flow, speeches, etc etc) and when it arrived everything went so smoothly! We can't say enough - thank you!
Response from the Vendor on 05/30/2024
Thank you so much Younji, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and Albert in preparation of that beautiful celebration on a picture-perfect spring day. Thank you for having me! Congratulations and best wishes to you both! :)
He was an absolute pleasure, DJ Dave was detailed and worked with us to find the right songs for our group and we had an absolute blast.
Working with DJ Dave for our wedding was incredible. He was reliable, supportive, professional, and had great knowledge on the timelines and expectations for weddings. He provided us with music, microphones, and speakers for our ceremony and music for the cocktail hour and reception. He created a wonderful playlist based off of our recommendations and music taste, and played music throughout the night to match our wedding guests’ requests and “vibes” of the event. While making announcements, he had a wonderful, excited energy that made us and our guests excited too. Everyone was excited and dancing all night long! I can’t recommend him enough for your big day.

Thank you so much for the kind words Bri, the pleasure was all mine. I wish you and Ben all the very best in your exciting new chapter - Congratulations!! =)
DJ Dave was amazing! He Dj’d our wedding in the fall of 2023 and we had the best night! Dave took the time to get to know me and my husband and made our night exactly what we wanted it to be. He was super professional and accommodating even when I changed my mind 8 times. DJ Dave was super friendly with all of our guests and took everyone’s song suggestions and mashed them into one amazing night!
Response from the Vendor on 05/07/2024
Thank you Nicole, that was one party for the books!! I was thrilled to be a part of it all and hope we get to meet on another dance floor in the near future. Congrats! :)
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!
Response from the Vendor on 05/07/2024
Aaah oh my gosh Kesley, thank you for this wonderful review. I had so much fun partying with you guys and your incredibly assortment of family and friends... I hope we get to do it another time soon!
Dj Dave! We can’t say enough good things about him. He helped make our wedding reception the best day ever. He listened to what our wish’s were and went above and beyond to make the day seamless. He’s professional, fun and talented! Don’t hesitate to book him if you want your day to be one for the books! Thank you Dave!! Best, Faith and Ethan
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!

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!

Dave was so wonderful! He was so funny and personable, you can tell why he's in the entertainment industry. He kept the music going right on schedule and was even able to do music for our ceremony outdoors. Thank you Dave!

Thank you Julie, I appreciate the kind words. Your wedding was so sweet and charming, unique in so many ways, I'll never forget that beautiful day and the adorable pup-themed tables. Cheers to you and Joe, best wishes for all of your adventures...
ahead! =)
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
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2023
Gina you rock, thank you so much for the kind words. It was awesome working with you and Ryan 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!

on, 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 th...
e 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!
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2023
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!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2023

vite to be a part of your big day, thank you & Congratulations!
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.
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2023
Rebecca, you're awesome thank you so much. It was so much fun planning and partying with you and Zach and your amazing collection of friends and family, I genuinely believe we could have kept that party going in the castle the entire weekend if...
they let us! =) Please keep in touch, best wishes to you both! ((hug))
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!
Dave was wonderful !! He played great music and kept the dance floor filled. He also played lots of guest song requests with our permission of course. Guests were super happy with Dave. He was also very friendly and easy to work with. Thanks so much again Dave. To everyone else, I highly recommend working with Dave!!
Please choose DJ Dave Riley! I honestly don’t even have words for how great he was. Not only was he the best and easiest to work with, he made everything fun and seamless and played the BEST music. I am not kidding when I say everyone was on the dance floor the entire night.
My wedding coordinator even came up to me during to wedding to comment on how great he was. He also helped run the wedding and transition events seamlessly.
I’m having a reception in Colorado next year and already trying to figure out if we can fly him out for it somehow. HE WAS THAT GREAT.
Finding a DJ was probably the hardest part of wedding planning. While I was doing my research I came across DJ Dave and something told me this was the one, and I don’t regret my decision whatsoever. DJ Dave was SO easy to work with, and even accommodated my change of a song just days before the wedding. Between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, everything was absolutely perfect. I gave him a small list of song requests and he picked the rest and nailed it. If you have any hesitation about booking DJ Dave, just book him! You won’t be sorry!
DJ Dave was incredible. If we could give him six stars we would! Our wedding reception started at 12:30pm and he managed to get everyone engaged and out on the dance floor. The planning process was very organized, and communication was timely.
DJ Dave is literally the life of the party! We had so much fun working with him as we planned for our August 2023 wedding. From the very beginning, Dave was quick to respond and very attentive to all our details. His kindness and excitement makes him the absolute best! My family is still raving about DJ Dave! Absolutely phenomenal!! 💞💞
DJ Dave was SO great to work with throughout the entire wedding planning processes! He was so kind, organized, and personable personable- it was clear from our first conversations that he was going to do an amazing job with our wedding. We had a half Serbian, half American wedding and he was able to incorporate all of the Serbian music we requested and blend it seamlessly with the rest of the music. The dance floor was packed all night and we’re still hearing how everyone had a great time! We cannot recommend DJ Dave enough.
100/100 Stars!! The minute we reached out to Dave to schedule a meeting for our reception music we knew we were in for a fantastic day. All of our guests continue to talk about how much fun they had. Dave even got my mother in law to join in the dancing and she has been glowing since that night. He got to know us and our music tastes, and was super easy to communicate with and responded very quickly to any planning questions, additions, and changes that happened at any time, including at the time of the event. We can’t thank him enough for making our party beautiful with his lighting and an amazing experience for us and our guests. We Highly recommend DJ Dave for all your event music needs! Thank you Dave!!
Dave was INCREDIBLE! From the moment we inquired to him for our wedding he was great with communication and all the organization that went into the planning process. He had all of our friends and family dancing the whole night with a wide range of all of our favorite songs. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring DJ Dave Riley for any event you want to get your loved-ones up and dancing for!
DJ Dave was so great to work with! He was always available if we had any questions. Every song he played was great and once it was time for dancing that dance floor was never empty!
Our wedding was about a year ago and we still are elated with how our day went with Dave. From the planning of the wedding to day of, Dave was readily available with answers to questions and able to work in any aspect of what we wanted to happen from beginning to end! He was incredible with working with us and helped our vision of a night of dancing and partying happen. We asked for a party, and that is what Dave delivered for three and half hours! We had a packed dance floor all night and still get compliments on how much fun our guests had while dancing the night away. Dave took requests for songs (and supported my request to not have certain songs played even when they were requested lol). Dave was amazing and I cannot recommend him enough. I share his information with anyone asking for an amazing and kind DJ! Please reach out to him! He is the best!
DJ Dave made our wedding a wonderful experience, and a night we will forever remember! He has the utmost professionalism and very easy to work with. He helped us iron out our plans for how we wanted our day to go and that made the day run that much smoother. He arrived early to set up and was helpful in walking us through some final details before the wedding started. We have nothing but outstanding things to say about DJ Dave! He has also done my brother’s wedding two years prior and that’s how we found out about him after doing such a great job at my brothers wedding.
From the beginning of the planning process to the very last song of our reception, DJ Dave blew away all of our expectations. Dave is a very caring individual, and it is evident he puts his whole heart into the process of getting to know the couples he works with. We had a blast planning all our key songs and announcements with Dave- and during our wedding Dave set the best atmosphere through his presence and song selections. After our wedding, all of our friends and families were raving about how incredible he was the entire night! DJ Dave set the best atmosphere for our day and we couldn't recommend him more.
We could not have asked for a better DJ for our big day! From the time we first reached out and all along the way, Dave was incredibly easy to work with. He was thorough, organized, and put a real personal touch on every interaction we had with him. He made suggestions where they were needed and was willing to work with us on several complex setups as everything came together, all the while exuding friendliness every step of the way.
We can't stress enough how beneficial it was to have a friendly and personable DJ who made us feel totally comfortable during our very first conversation, and who took the pressure off of us on our wedding day. Overall he delivered an incredible experience for us that made our day special and memorable!
Dave was careful to make sure he got the pronunciation of the names of everyone correct and was respectful to every single guest at our wedding. He was able to accommodate all of our requests and kept the party going the entire evening. He did a great job balancing our insane list of song requests and also matching our style to fill in the blanks. The dance floor was packed the entire night and many friends couldn’t stop talking about how awesome the music was both immediately after, and still now, two weeks later!
Anyone booking Dave will be getting a professional, experienced, and talented DJ who will work hard to make sure everything goes smoothly on your big day, while also providing an incredible amount of charm free of charge.
DJ Dave was so attentive and fun! He and his partner who ran the photo booth made our reception perfect, and our guests had a blast. I am so grateful to Dave for setting the tone for our reception, and managing the announcements and music seamlessly. Absolute 5-star review!!
We met Dave at a friend’s wedding and we loved the energy. At our wedding he kept the dance floor packed until the end. Dave works with you on the song selections making it easy.
Dave was the BEST DJ we've ever seen or worked with!! He was funny and easy to work with, in addition to being very invested in what we wanted from start to finish! We had a large number of our guests tell us he was the best wedding DJ they'd ever seen and several of our friends asked for his contact info right then and there to book for their upcoming weddings as well. There was nothing awkward or forced and he seemed to have just as fun much as we did, which really helped everyone have the best time! I could not recommend him more highly!!
Where do I start-Dave made our day so personal and is so warm and flexible! He really helped us with every aspect of planning the music! People were nonstop dancing and he read the crowd perfectly! Were still having people tell us how much fun they had! Even better was his professional manner and laid back demeanor which was so perfect for our wedding! Id recommend Dave for any event!!

Thank you so much for the kind words Angela, it was such a treat working with you and Bryan. Your wedding day just had such a fun, loving, comfortable vibe, and that venue was PERFECT -- I absolutely loved everything you two assembled to celebr...
ate the big day. Thank you for having me, Congrats!
Dave is without a doubt the best -- hands down. From the start of our journey together to the moment the party ended, he was nothing but professional, punctual, and most importantly FUN. Dave loves what he does, and it is so evident in how he approaches the entire planning process.
Dave made navigating song choices, the order of the ceremony, and all of our special moments such a breeze. He is extremely organized, which helped me remain organized with all of the decisions that had to be made. Dave listened closely to the vibe we wanted, and he absolutely nailed it. Our guests have done nothing but rave about the music and song choices, and we absolutely have Dave to thank for that. He made our day that much more special, and we are so thankful for him!

DJ Dave’s services were top of the line from
start to finish. And thanks to DJ Bobby our dance floor stayed packed all night. I will be in touch for any future events. They were professional, friendly and awesome entertainment.

Thank you for having us Crystal, I'm so happy the celebration was such a hit! Hope to party with you again in the future!! Best wishes to you and Chris =)
We are so happy that we chose to go with DJ Dave for our wedding in March 2023. From our intitial phone call up to the day of and during the wedding, he made us feel completely heard and at ease about what we wanted. All of the important moments like the processional, recessional, intros, first dance, etc. went totally smoothly. We had a small wedding of about 40 guests with about half younger folks and half older, and he read the vibes of the room and dancefloor perfectly. He simultaneously responded to and guided the energy of the party, and everybody had a fantastic time, especially us. We highly recommend him to everyone looking!

Thank you so much Grant, it was a sincere pleasure working with you both and such an honor to be a part of your day and celebrate with that amazing group of partygoers. My very best wishes to you and Leanna, Congrats!
DJ Dave is AMAZING and I could not have been any happier with his services at our wedding.
He is such a professional and was a calming presence from the moment we hired him. He called us a few months before the wedding and helped us get started with our music and lighting options. He walks you through every step of the process and anytime we had questions, he was super timely and thorough in his response.
As we approached our wedding day, DJ Dave helped us iron out the final details. The last few weeks before our wedding were a bit crazy but DJ Dave was so organized and helpful that we never had to worry about our music, lighting and entertainment.
Our wedding day was absolutely amazing and DJ Dave is a big reason for that. He arrived early and had everything perfectly set up well before our ceremony started. He nailed our entrances and got the party started. Our first dance was perfect. The lighting was beautiful and he knew exactly what we wanted.
DJ Dave truly shines once the dance floor opens up to everyone. He had everyone up dancing. I saw some family members dancing that never dance at other weddings. He did a great job of balancing newer songs with some classics. Most of our friends danced the entire night and never sat down. The music quality and lighting was fantastic and it was everything we wanted. He played all our requested songs. Everything went according to plan and the energy on the dance floor was off the charts. We wanted to make sure we had a really fun wedding and DJ Dave was instrumental in making sure that our wedding was an absolute blast.
After the wedding, I had no less than 8 friends ask me where we got our DJ cause they had such a good time. I cannot recommend DJ Dave enough. He's not only a wizard behind the DJ booth, but also a super nice and genuine guy that makes you feel special on your most important day
We chose DJ Dave for our upcoming wedding in August 2023, based on all the amazing 5 star reviews he had, and when we spoke on the zoom call, we totally understood why he is so awesome. He really was genuinely interested In what we were asking for, in our personalities and our likes and dislikes so he could really understand how to make our day perfect. As crazy as some of our music requests and styles were, and being that were both musicians and the music is very important to us, he made us feel totally at ease that he is going to give us the best DJ experience at our wedding. I could tell he was a positive upbeat and genuine person, and that's what made me confident that he's what we are looking for. Now, we feel less stressed, and we are so looking forward to getting married and having our wedding soundtrack be amazing. Thank you Dj Dave, we liked you right off the bat, and look forward to working with you!!!

Karen, thank you so much for sharing these kind words. I'm thrilled to be working with you and Brendon for your special day and I know it's going to be an unforgettable affair. Enjoy the excitement of the coming months, we'll be seeing you at t...
hat alter before you know it!
Dave was so friendly and kind from the very beginning. His happy demeanor was really great to work with! He was accommodating to all of our song requests, which was awesome! Would definitely recommend Dave's services for any event!
We had Dj Dave for our wedding, from the very beginning to the very end, there's no one else I would've wanted at our wedding, from speaking with Dave at the start of setting up our wedding until the very night we were ready to get married everything was just simple. They approach he had for everything was seamless and easy. Then come the night of our wedding which was a few days ago, seeing everything we spoke about unfold was just amazing. The music, the lighting, the overall setup from Dave was nothing short of perfect. If you looking for someone to DJ your wedding or anything for that matter DJ Dave is the best, he will take the time and work with you to try and figure out exactly what you want and find some way of making it better!
Thanks again Dave!!!
Dave absolutely was the right choice for my wedding! He read the crowd, and catered to my daughter to make it a very special night for her as well! He was so welcoming and truly kind. I wouldn’t have wanted any other DJ for my wedding!
DJ Dave is amazing!! From our first conversation, we knew we wanted him for our wedding ceremony and reception. During the planning phase, he was so organized and provided suggestions when needed, as we have very different tastes in music. He has a professional setup and arrived ahead of schedule to ensure everything was ready for the day. We had an untraditional way to recognize our family at the beginning of the reception and he made it so welcoming and personal. Our guests also enjoy music ranging from disco, backstreet boys, hip hop, and country- he played them all flawlessly and the guest really appreciated hearing "their song." At our reception, we played a fun game for the centerpiece giveaway, when we first talked with Dave about our idea we didn't know how it would all be executed, but he offered suggestions and took the lead on making our vision a reality. We could go on and on about how Dave made our special day wonderful, we would highly recommend him to anyone!!

Literally above and beyond expectation. My husband and I had a very non-traditional, very personalized wedding and from the first phone call I knew Dave would be perfect for it! He nailed every aspect. We had guests telling us before the night had even ended that our wedding music was the best they’d ever heard. Once the dancing started no one left the floor. Everything was timed perfectly and our vision couldn’t have happened without Dave. It’s three days after and people are still bringing up DJ Dave, asking us to keep his contact for when they’ll need him, and gushing about the music throughout. There aren’t enough kind words for our experience with DJ Dave!
DJ Dave was absolutely incredible!! He made the planning process so easy and made you feel like he truly got to know your wants and needs as a couple. He had our dance floor full for the ENTIRE duration of our wedding and was able to coordinate with other vendors (including a bagpiper) to make every transition smooth! He responded to emails promptly and was organized and professional. He even
Hyped up our very nervous ring bearer to get the job done. We would HIGHLY recommend him for ANY function! Thanks for making our wedding the best day ever!
Dave was GREAT to work with! From the very first phone call to our final meeting he helped us out so much when it came to music choice, timeline, wedding day knowledge, etc. On the wedding day, Dave kept the energy going all night long through Greek dancing, slow songs, and some of our favorite old school hits! All our guests raved about the soundtrack well after the wedding and we could not have been happier with our choice to have him as our wedding DJ!
Dave was easily the best part of our wedding - from planning conversations to our wedding day, Dave made us feel comfortable and celebrated us each part of the way. Planning a wedding is tough stuff, but Dave made us feel confident and excited for our special day. Nearly every guest asked us how we found such a fantastic DJ, and I cannot recommend Dave more highly - you want a special event? Ask Dave! We truly could not imagine our day without him.
We simply can’t say enough about how amazing Dave was! Truly you should look no further in your DJ search - He is the best out there. From the booking process to the end of the night. He truly made our wedding so memorable. We only requested a few songs and he out did himself with the playlist. He is professional and completely affordable. If I could give him more stars I would. He was very quick to respond to any email or question we had.
If I ever have to book another DJ, Dave will definitely be our guy. We highly recommend him over and over again.
Trust us, Dave was exactly the DJ you're looking for!!
Every party needs a Dave !!
He was professional, supportive plus the life of the party!! He went out of his way to schedule meetings with us to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for on our wedding day. Plus his music choices were top of the line. Our guests (all different age ranges) can't stop talking about the music selection! Contact him, you will not regret it!
Dave was recommended to us by a family member & upon introduction we knew he was the DJ we needed for our wedding. His friendly personality was HUGE for us, he was so easy to talk to! We had to reschedule our wedding like 3 times because of Covid and he was so accommodating but finally we had our big day on 09/10/2022. It was everything we hoped for and everyone enjoyed the music all night long!
My dad is sick and I told Dave I wasn't sure if he'd last the whole father/daughter dance; so, he cut it short and made sure we knew if we had to cut it off even earlier just to give him a nod or thumbs up. It was comforting know he was being so attentive and able to transition smoothly into the next dance if needed. At the last minute I decided to change plans on the order of the night and he was totally fine with it. He made everyone in the wedding party feel included as he met with us all before the party began, introduced himself & let everyone in on what they had to do!
I put my trust into Dave for a lot of things regarding the wording of introductions, music to play, when to play slow songs, etc and it was honestly perfect! If you're not sure about something, just ask him - he's the expert! I would 100% recommend DJ Dave's Mobile Entertainment!
Dave was such an amazing DJ for my wedding this September! He was super funny and was so communicative about everything during the planning process and on the big day! Dave is receptive to needs and desires and helped make our day so special! He even was flexible enough to patch in my Maid of Honor onto the speaker system because she was sick and had to call in for her speech. I highly recommend his services!
Hire DJ Dave for your wedding. Don’t hesitate. You will not be disappointed. Dave is fun, communicates often, listens, gives suggestions, accommodates and executes exactly what you ask. I cannot recommend DJ Dave enough! If you’re looking for a professional, kind, and top notch dj then DJ Dave is your man!
We hired Dave as he came highly recommended from a family friend. We were extremely happy with his services. He was on time, always willing to help with my many questions. Anything we needed or wanted he was happy to do. He got everyone out on the dance floor and I could not recommend him enough. We will use him for any of our DJ needs in the future! He was the absolute best! Thank you for making our wedding the best it could have been.
Dave was a delight to work with! He worked with us to make sure that the music at our event was exactly what we wanted. He played a wonderful mixture of genres, took requests, and even edited our first dance song to fit the dance better. I would absolutely hire him again if I needed a DJ!
DJ DAVE!!! He took us completely by surprise and completely killed it!! The few DJ's I was originally set on hiring were booked before I got the chance, but lucky for us that made me do some extra research. I stumbled upon Dave who was one of the few who were even available so I was a little nervous at first.. I know a DJ can make or break an event! However Dave was so quick to respond, so professional, and open to all of our ideas and requests! He gave me options for tables because I didnt want to ruin the asthetics of the room, he had a nice clean professional setup! We didnt want any slow songs and prefer an EDM / dance style - we wanted to PARTY! We still wanted the older guests to enjoy themselves so I told him to feel free to play some remixes of older songs and he had the most amazing mixes!! We had SO MUCH fun! He had everyone on that dance floor all night! We ended the night with some fun throwbacks, BSB & Nsync which is fun for every 90s kid lol only thing is I wish we didnt end on "byebyebye" because it was a breakup song and felt funny singing it to each other hahaha but we still had such a fun time with it!! and that is also on me for not requesting a specific "last song" which he did give me the chance to do! Every single song I requested to be played for different parts of the ceremony and reception, he nailed it. He gave us everything we asked for and more. He even picked up on my little hints when I was done with a song and ready for him to fade it out, he was on it. I cant recommend Dave enough!! I'm so glad God aligned our paths because he was the perfect fit and he helped make our day go so perfectly, so smoothly, and so much fun! Thank you, Dave!!! It was a day we will never forget and I'm so grateful we had you on our team!!!
Working with Dave was an absolute joy. He brings technical expertise and personal passion, without any stereotypical wedding DJ cheesiness. He is warm, fun, professional, respectful, and clearly excited about creating a tailored vision together with the couple. We gave him some ideas for music and he built out perfect playlists that kept people on the dance floor non-stop, while completely staying on-brand with our tastes. On the technical side, he expertly set up the sound equipment in an outdoor venue with multiple locations. When we finally met in person at the wedding it felt like seeing an old friend! Dave is the best - book him immediately.
We were so lucky to have Dave as the DJ for our wedding this past weekend! From our first meeting we knew he was the right choice. Dave is incredibly kind, detail oriented, and extremely customer centric! He wanted to play what WE wanted - not the other way around like some other DJs we chatted with. He knew how to keep the party going, add in a slow song to break things up, and has everyone of all ages up and dancing. Highly recommend booking Dave - you will absolutely not regret it!
Dave was extremely professional and detailed throughout the initial phases of reaching out, the formal planning process, and the actual event. He made an effort to get to know us as a couple, listened to our preferences, and was proactive in looking at the venue space. On the day of the wedding, everything went exactly as we had planned! He was wonderful, and we definitely recommend using him.
A bit embarrassed to be writing this so late, but hopefully Dave can forgive us 😅 DJ Dave was absolutely incredible. He helped us create our dream wedding party, and he went above and beyond for us. He created a custom dance song for us, which we rewatch to this day with joy and tears! He was so easy to communicate with, he is very organized, professional and more than capable of creativity in his work. When you meet him, you will know he found the thing he was put here to do. In all the hustle of our wedding prep he never missed a beat. Our big day was flawless, and our wedding was a f**kin BLAST thanks to him! We highly recommend Dave and his DJ service, and we cannot thank him enough for everything! - Ez & Meg
From the planning phase to our actual wedding- DJ Dave is the best there is! He was extremely professional, and made sure to incorporate our own personal interests in his music selection. I pointed out my favorite song ever, and he played it at the perfect time and got everyone on the dance floor! everything was perfect on the music side of things! And a direct quote from a family member (who’s not a very physically active person and recently had knee surgery done) “this is the first time I’ve danced at a wedding in over 20 years!” - I KNOW his selection and expertise had a lot to
