We cannot say enough amazing things about DJ Dayveâhe was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From the beginning of the process he was incredibly detail-oriented, making sure every moment was thoughtfully planned and perfectly timed. He worked closely with us to understand our music taste and vibe, and he absolutely nailed it.
Once the dance floor opened, it was nonstop energy. Weâve had countless guests tell us the party was hands down the best part of our wedding, and thatâs entirely thanks to Dayve. He read the room effortlessly and kept everyone dancing all night long.
If youâre looking for a DJ who is professional, passionate, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, DJ Dayve is your guy. We are beyond grateful!
There are not enough words to write about how great DJ Dayve was at our wedding! We had a vision and he made it come to life. Our main goal was to make sure all of our guests were on the dance floor all night and DJ Dayve made that happen. Music brings people together, and DJ Dayve brought two families together on the dance floor all night long. He was so professional from day 1 to through our wedding day. The communication with DJ Dayve was spectacular and made us feel so confident in his work! If you are looking for non stop dancing and great music, DJ Dayve is your guy!
11/10!!! DJ Dayve has done two weddings for our family now & we get the most compliments from our big day on the music! He is an absolute pleasure to work with - he spends more time with you than most vendors do to make sure he knows exactly what you want to hear!
My husband and I both agree that hiring DJ Dayve was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! He was so organized throughout the process, was always one of our easiest vendor meetings, and gave great advice when we we're struggling to make any decision. We told DJ Dayve the vibe we wanted and he cultivated it perfectly (classics, throwbacks and then more EDM later in the night). Something beyond the music that we underestimated was having a good MC, and Dayve absolutely nailed it. My videographer is from out of town and has done hundreds of weddings and said he's the best DJ he's ever seen. Hire DJ Dayve!!
DJ Dayve was very organized and helped us get the music we wanted. His performance was stellar and we highly recommend him for your wedding or whatever event you are looking for.
Music was one of our top priorities for our wedding, and Dave exceeded our expectations in every way. From the initial consultation to the last song of the night, Dave was organized, professional, and attentive to our needs. He translated our music preferences into a playlist that kept the dance floor packed all night. On the day of the wedding, Dave ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration without worry. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ experience. Thank you, Dave!
He is one of the most attentive vendors we had the pleasure to work with. He truly takes the time to get to know his clients and what exactly they want. He got the party started and everyone out of their seats dancing. He was also amazing to other vendors and lent a helping hand wherever he could. He was so attentive to detail, from what he should wear to how to pronounce everyone's name. He came highly recommended to us and I completely understand why. He was an overall joy to work with. He offers sparklers for the room - I highly recommend! It was such a beautiful detail to our reception! If he's open for your wedding date, book him while you can!!
DJ Dayve brought our dream wedding to life and made us feel so special throughout the whole process, not to mention he brought ALL the good vibes! Dayve is professional, engaging, thorough, and just the all around ideal person you would want to be around and have in your corner while planning a wedding. He jumped on multiple video calls with us to walk through every step and detail of the big day and worked to coordinate a live musical interlude during our ceremony with a good friend who lives out of state. We felt so comfortable going into the big day because of all the prep work and planning that Dayve had done. He brought so much energy and all around joy to our reception and made it a point to check in on us throughout the whole day. Our guests were dancing all night long and raved to us about how great he was and how good the music was. We really appreciated Dayve's attention to detail, thoughtfulness in making the timeline of the day fit our exact goals, awesome playlists and throwbacks, and the warm positive energy and all around excitement he brought that was so contagious for guests. We simply couldnât have done it without Dayve and appreciate the immense time and planning that he put into this magical day.
DJ Dayve is the BEST DJ ever! He was so professional and easy to work with. He had a great vibe and made us feel so comfortable with all things before and during our wedding. Everyone just keeps saying that party was so AMAZING! Literally the party didn't stop!
Looking for a wedding DJ? Seriously look no further - DJ Dayve is amazing! We are so happy with our choice to go with him for our wedding. We were slightly worried about finding the right music choices since we had a diverse group of wedding guests, but DJ Dayve figured out a way to successfully combine music for Brits (on my side) and Latinos (on my husbands side) and get everybody out on the dance floor! It was incredible to see all of our friends and family dancing the night away. Not only does Dayve play amazing music, he is also professional, creative and responsive and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him throughout the entire planning process. Thank you DJ Dayve for helping us create the perfect wedding day - we are so grateful for your expertise!
DJ Dayve came highly recommended to us from our venue and venue coordinator! The moment we met him and had our initial conversation, we knew he would be the perfect DJ for our special day. DJ Dayve was very insightful for song choices and graciously helped with coordinating the day and night. Last minute, I had a bridezilla moment, and decided against having strings/instruments for the ceremony, he was happy to DJ our ceremony music and took the time to pick out versions of all the songs that we loved and wanted incorporated in our ceremony. Dave was so kind, helpful, professional, stylish, and most importantly knew how to entertain and put on the best party of our life!! I canât tell you how many guests told us it was the best music they have experienced at a wedding. He was so easy-going and fun, yet professional with us and our guests; he truly felt like a friend and guest during our wedding. My husband and I, along with our families, are from Chicago, so unfortunately my 91 year old grandmother couldnât make it, Dave went above and beyond to figure out and buy equipment needed to set up the zoom meeting so my grandmother and other loved ones could watch the ceremony from afar. He is seriously the best and we cannot recommend DJ Dayve enough!!
DJ Dayve was amazing! We are so glad he was part of our day. He was personal, professional, and knew exactly how to blend the music we requested/ told him we loved with the music that our guests were responding to. Everyone was on the dance floor right up until the last song. Cannot recommend him enough!!
We canât say enough good things about DJ Dayve. He was so professional, organized, and fun. He kept people out on the dance floor the entire night. All of the guests could not stop raving about him. If you are looking for an amazing DJ who is also a great person hire Dayve. Thank you Dayve for an amazing night we will remember forever.
DJ Dayve is an exceptional wedding DJ who truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was incredibly detailed and organized, scheduling regular Zoom check-ins to refine every aspect of the timeline, ceremony lineup, and music playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He even provided us with guidance during the reception itself, letting us know when and where to be at particular points during the evening which allowed me and my bride to enjoy the evening with friends and family.
But what really impressed us about DJ Dayve was his ability to accommodate multiple equipment setups throughout the day. Despite the fact that we had an outdoor ceremony, an indoor cocktail hour, and a reception in a different room, he was able to transition seamlessly between each location, ensuring that every detail was perfect. He worked closely with our wedding coordinator to make sure that all of the necessary details were taken care of.
Overall, we couldn't have been happier with DJ Dayve's performance at our wedding. He's much more than just a DJ - he's a true professional who takes pride in his work and goes above and beyond to make sure that every detail is perfect. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a talented and dedicated wedding DJ.
DJ Dayve was better than we could have imagined. From our first meeting, Dayve was extremely attentive and thorough. He provided an amazing experience for all of our guests, including a late-night karaoke party! Everyone could not stop complimenting Dayve for days after our wedding. I'd recommend Dayve to anyone!!
DJ Dayve exceeded our expectations which were already high after our pre-wedding meetings with him! His music mix had the dance floor packed all night and he was great at reading the vibe of the room. Going into the wedding planning, I wanted a real band but I can't say enough how amazing DJ Dayve was. He is also extremely organized in making sure everything is ready to go before the wedding. I would recommend DJ Dayve 100/100 times!
Having a great DJ was something that was very important to us as a couple when it came to our wedding.
DJ Dayve was very professional from the start to end of the entire experience.
He was super friendly, easy to work with, organized and helpful throughout the process of picking and planning each playlist.
I really loved how we were able to pick from each playlist and make edits to songs we loved and wanted to be played and songs we did not want played.
I felt like the process allowed us to have our own personal touch to the music that was played on our day.
I loved how he asked what color suit we wanted him to wear the day of our wedding. The tan suit went perfectly with our color scheme.
He worked side by side with our planner and made sure everything ran smoothly.
DJ Dayve had all of our guests up on the dance floor. As the bride I was dancing all night long!
Hire DJ Dayve for your wedding day! You will not regret it!
DJ Dayve is amazing!!! We had such a great night and he did a fantastic job playing music to match the vibe of the crowd. He is very organized and well prepared. His overall positive attitude and demeanor made the day that much more special. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lively, fun, and friendly DJ!
DJ Dayve was absolutely wonderful. He was both professional, organized, and very fun! We met with him twice before the wedding to make sure that everything we wanted music and light wise was correct, and he even included our wedding planner on the meeting. He asked us some questions about our music style and got a feel for what music we were looking for at certain points in the night, and he absolutely nailed it! Almost everyone was dancing for the whole night! We could not have imagined a better DJ if we tried.
DJ Dayve is outstanding! DJ vs. a band was a hot topic in our home prior to booking, but after having DJ Dayve at our wedding there is not a doubt in ANYONE'S mind that booking him was the BEST move we made. He was perfect from our first meeting to the last second on the dance floor. He is extremely professional, polished and well poised. DJ Dayve was able to read the crowd and picked the perfect music to keep the dance floor packed all night. We have lost count of the amount of guests who have commented on how spectacular he was. All commenting on how they have never seen a wedding dance floor with so much energy and we couldn't agree more. 1,000/10 stars! If one of my friends were to get married in this area I would have them select their date around DJ Dayveâs availability - he is that good! Thanks Dayve for everything your talent is truly one of a kind!
DJ Dayve was instrumental in us having the best wedding we could have possibly dreamed of. It takes a special skill set to be professional, organized, timely, and accommodative⌠all things that are crucially important if youâre going to have a low stress day⌠but then to also have the presence, musical abilities, and swagger to ensure the entire crowd has a good time. We would give 100 stars for DJ Dayveâs rating for all of these elements, if possible.
We all know that there are a thousand moving parts during a wedding day, but until youâre the bride and groom, itâs hard to appreciate how much truly is going on. Even when we surprised Dayve with a couple last minute changes, he handled them flawlessly.
Equally as important as things working and flowing properly is the vibe being set throughout the day and night. We asked a lot of DJ Dayve⌠starting with a romantic, elegant, low key vibe and then on the opposite end of the spectrum finishing with an after party that got absolutely lit. He was able to strike the perfect mix for each of the settings and there wasnât a single person (Grandma included!) who didnât have an absolute blast. There were countless guests who asked us how we found Dayve and raved about how much fun our reception was⌠there is no greater compliment than that! If you want to exercise a lot of control over the curating of your playlists or if you want him to read and react to the crowd⌠DJ Dayve can do it all!
Having DJ Dayve to provide the musical entertainment/components for our wedding was THE BIGGEST blessing! DJ Dayve is extremely organized, helpful, and professional, and it is very clear he enjoys what he does! He went out of his way to communicate with each vendor to ensure the musical events and related events ran smoothly, especially when there were multiple musicians. He also spent extra time traveling to get a DVD from my family to rip audio and video to use at the wedding for my father-daughter dance, something he didnât have to do but did! He eased many of my anxieties when it came to timelines and song choices after our very first meeting with the manner in which he outlines the planned wedding day. If you are in need of a DJ for your event or wedding, look no further than DJ Dayve! He made the planning process and wedding day so easy and fun! He also really knows how to make a crowd dance!! Rating: A million / 10 stars!!!
DJ Dayve,
Thank you for literally being the best person ever.
HIRE THIS MAN.
I cannot even begin to tell you the PROFESSIONALISM of his work. It is clear why he is the top choice in Naples. DJ Dayve comes prepared to every meeting and has EVERYTHING planned out. The first call we had with him, I knew he was our DJ. He takes his role so seriously and is so professional.
He has spreadsheets, notes, playlists, examples, ideas... I never knew how detailed you could be with music. It's clear that this is his passion. He loves music but more importantly, he loves creating an experience for couples.
It can be overwhelming to pick songs and playlists but he makes it so easy. He LISTENS to you and understands you. He makes you feel calm and that he has everything under control - because HE DOES!
He spent so many hours with us and made us feel like we were the only couple in the world. His attentiveness to us was unmatched. He is a superstar.
From his suit (outfit) selections, to his set up , to his energy - he is what a DJ is. He takes DJing and music to a whole other level.
Aside from his obvious PHENOMENAL work ethic, performance, and knowledge of music, he is a down-to-earth person.
He is so easy to get along with and talk to. I can't say how important it is to pick a team who you can vibe with and who really brings positive energy and calmness to you on your day and throughout the process. This is DJ Dayve.
Absolutely look no further. He got everyone dancing and everyone said they LOVED the music. It's not just music - it's music that makes your family and friends come together on your biggest day. It's a big job - and WOW does Dayve make it happen.
CHOOSE HIM.
DJ Dayve, you've become a friend to us. We're sorry for overwhelming you at times but we absolutely adore you and your work! Jeff and I are always here to support you in any way we can.
Much love,
Hannah Nieves
DJ Dayve was beyond professional and made our day so very SPECIAL!! He helped plan our wedding timeline and reached out to all of our vendors and wedding planner. He also was extremely organized in how he sets up his playlists on the computer. I loved how he had zoom calls and thoroughly planned our special day! He also played our Italian songs that we grew up with since my family is 100%- my family was extremely impressed! He played all of our songs!! We had the best wedding and DANCED THE ENTIRE DAY ALL THE WAY UP TO THE AFTER PARTY! He was the one that made our day special with all of our meaningful songs!! He's the best! We highly recommend him!!!! All of our guests still talk about how much fun they had!!
5 stars is NOT enough for DJ Dayve. Not only did he schedule multiple calls to make sure we had the ultimate playlist and schedule he wanted to make sure he we were nothing but satisfied. He arrived BEFORE every single vendor to make sure he was set up, everything worked, and we were happy with how everything was. If you are looking to get married in SWFL this year, next year or in 3 years book him in advance. Our guests PRAISED his work. I have NEVER been to a wedding where people did NOT want to get off the dance floor when it was over. I was so grateful, that my wedding was the wedding that no one wanted the party to stop. I truly believe that is all thanks to DJ Dayve. I could not be more thankful or appreciative for such an amazing DJ.
He truly made our wedding.
Our experience with DJ Dayve was amazing from start to finish. We attended a wedding where he was DJing and we knew right then and there, he was the guy for us. He arranged a few meetings leading up to the wedding and allowed us to have as much or as little input as we wanted. & on the big day, he absolutely KILLED IT! We still have guests raving about the music and asking for the playlist. We know we will only have one wedding, but this definitely will not be the last time we work with DJ Dayve!
Absolutely cannot recommend DJ Dayve enough. Not only weâre all my guests dancing the whole night, but every single one of my guests came up to me complimenting him on his music choices and the uplighting. DJ Dayve was super organized too it made me feel at ease and eliminated a ton of stress for me. Thank you again DJ Dayve :)
DJ Dayve was literally the highlight of our wedding. He had a live saxophone, drummer and second DJ for our late night silent disco and EVERY ONE (I literally mean every single guest) still raves about his performance. We were absolutely blown away the entire day. He is truly a professional DJ that can read the roomâ knows what to play, when! He steered clear from all of the music we werenât thrilled over, and made some unbelievable remixes of songs we love. His intros into each song felt like we were at a literal concert. Iâm not kidding, he was by far the most talked about thing at our wedding in Naples. I promise, you will not regret hiring him and his team. Almost all of our guests that are engaged are considering canceling their commitments and hiring him to fly out to their weddings in the Midwest because he gave us such a night to remember. Thank you, and well done, Dayve!
DJ Dayve is, hands down, the best wedding DJ Iâve ever encountered. For our beach wedding in Marco Island, DJ Dayve went the extra mile to not only ensure that our guests had a phenomenal experience, but also that my husband and I had a truly personalized and special ceremony and party. We donât use the word âexpertâ lightly, but itâs very clear that DJ Dayve embodies its meaning in every sense. His passion for creating a seamless event is only matched by his thorough preparation, which involved multiple video calls, messages and emails to ensure every aspect of our wedding was planned to the minute. DJ Dayve clearly loves what he does and if you were to book him for your wedding or event, I can promise you will not endure a moment of stress.
DJ Dayve was the first vendor I hired because it was the easiest decision. Your DJ is essentially the host of the party and if the DJ is great then the party is great. It really doesn't get any better than Dayve. From start to finish his professionalism blew me away. His process from the day of booking all the way up to the event is organized and seamless. Fast forward to the actual wedding day - from morning till night this guy was on! Not only was the music on point for the entire day but several of my guests felt like they had meaningful connections with him. We were talking about it the entire next day. He interacts with the crowd and really makes you feel like you're partying with him. I was sad to say goodbye đ. He is the epitome of what it means to be a DJ. Look no further. This is your guy. Thanks again Dayve! đ
DJ Dayve was quite simply the perfect hire for our wedding! In every single category he completely exceeded our expectations. From the beginning, his professionalism and organizational skills immediately made us feel confident with our decision. He maintained this all the way leading up to the day of our wedding by coordinating directly with all of our other vendors and venue. He saved the best for last by putting on an incredible performance that incorporated all of our asks, suggestions and musical preferences. Our guests are still raving about DJ Dayve as are we! Thank you for making it the best night of our lives!!
DJ Dayve was a fantastic DJ throughout the whole process. He was very organized and had the whole process planned out perfectly. He was quick to respond and took our input into account when planning out the set list. Prior to the wedding we had a couple of meetings with Dayve where he walked us through what the night would look like. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and made sure that everything was customized to us. On the wedding day everything went smoothly, and the music was amazing. He played to the crowd and everyone had an amazing time. We received a numerous amount of compliments about how amazing Dayve was. If you need a DJ for a wedding or any other event DJ Dayve is your guy!
We hired DJ Dayve for our Wedding reception and could not have been happier.
Dave was a pleasure to work with from the start. Very professional, organized, personable and extremely helpful while choosing the right music for our event. He spent all the time needed to walk through the timeline of the event and ensure we had the right music choices for each part of the reception.
Dave took the lead contacting our event planner to ensure he was able to enter the facility and get setup on time on the day of the eventâŚ. Taking all the pressure off us.
The day of the receptionâŚperfection! We could not have been happier. Dave was on time, all setup and ready for our guests for cocktail hour. He played all the all music we decided on and was there to greet us when we arrived shortly after. He took the time to walkthrough the evening with us and then delivered with great introductions of the party and toasts. After that, he had us on the dance floor all night long!! LiterallyâŚâŚ
Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding reception. The most impressive thing is, Dave REALLY enjoys what he does. You can see that as you watch him work.
100% Recommended! Hire DJ Dayve for your next event!
We got married on October 16th 2021 and DJ Dayve was our DJ! He is the best! He is attentive, organized and his expertise in this industry shows on so many levels! He is so professional not only in his work but how he showcases himself! DJ Dayve is so good at what he does and he is smiling the entire time. He kept everyone on the dance floor the entire time even with our country music requests!! Lol he did such a good job and we received so many compliments! Highly recommend!
Alex & Connor
Dave was amazing!!!! From the first phone call he was professional, prepared, conscientious and extremely helpful. He made me at ease as the planning was progressing due to his extreme attention to detail. Dave was also very pleasant and made the entire experience wonderful. He brought joy and life to the party and set the mood to EXACTLY the way we wanted it to be. He directed the evening flawlessly. Thank you Dave for making our day so special!!!!
Highly, highly recommend Dave without any reservation.
The reviews for DJ Dayve on this website speak for themselves, but when we began to work with him, we were even more impressed. Dayve went above and beyond for us in every way he could have. He was not only our favorite out of the DJâs we could have picked, but he was our favorite of our vendors on our big day.
Book this man! He will be a fantastic emcee, entertainer, and DJ that is willing to arrange your timeline/music completely to your specific preferences but also skilled at taking the reigns and giving you what he believes to be best (and he knows best!).
Would book him again in a heartbeat.
DJ Dayve hands down is the best DJ ever!! From the moment we first talked and had a zoom call, he was so nice and so organized and had everything put together which made my husband and I feel so calm and at ease because he knows exactly what he is doing! Throughout the whole wedding planning process he was always available to talk if we needed too about music or changing/adding something, and he put the whole day of wedding timeline together with what music was going to be played, etc - he is just beyond talented. Our family and friends loved him and he played exactly what we wanted and made the whole night so much fun!! Truly DJ Dayve is the person you need for your music on your wedding day and you will not regret it đ Hands down best DJ and I canât thank him enough for everything he did for my husband and I!!
DJ Dayve was such a pleasure to work with. He made everything super easy to follow, gave you son selections to pick from, and interacted with guests throughout the wedding.
Worth every penny!
DJ Dayve was probably the best vendor at my entire wedding, and I cannot recommend him enough. When we first started the process of choosing songs with DJ Dayve, I was astounded by how detailed his list was. He truly reviewed our questionnaire and came up with wonderful suggestions for the whole night [ceremony, cocktail hour, dancing, EDM rave at the end]. Additionally, he went above and behind with small details. My husband and I requested an electronic rave for the last 30 minutes, which was the most fun! Also, DJ Dayve made a beautiful mashup of songs for my dad and I to dance to that included J Geils, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leopard, etc. I could go on and on about DJ Dayve, he is the absolute best DJ and an amazing human!
Everything about DJ Dayve was incredible. My husband and I were so nervous about the flow for the reception and Dayve calmed our worries. He walked us through everything. And the music was amazing.
If I could suggest ONE thing as you begin to plan your wedding, that is to hire DJ Dayve! He doesn't just provide DJ services, he provides an experience. From start to finish throughout the planning process he was organized (which is my weakness), fun and professional. The care and time he took prior to our wedding day to ensure he would offer the best experience was unmatched. We were able to collaborate through song choices and he enlightened me in music choices that I loved but never knew of before. Dj Dayve really shined the night of our wedding though. His set was so sleek and the up lighting added such a fun touch. He is an absolute genius when it came to reading the room. Each song he played, he looked up and read the audience and altered what he was playing according to how we were feeling. My guest list was small (because of covid) but we were mighty and everyone kept commenting how much fun they had because of him. He is an absolute class act and will hire him for every event moving forward. He really did make our wedding night unforgettable.
DJ Dayve is the best around. We cannot begin to thank him enough for the amazing job he did on our wedding day. He was so nice to work with and so incredible organized. He made our planning experience easy and let us personalize our wedding music. He led us through a fun and perfectly timed reception. The music was incredible and we have had so many people comment on what an amazing job he did.
The most professional, thorough and fun DJ in Southwest Florida! He has been a part of a couple of our events and never disappoints... our family won't use anyone else! Truly a pleasure to work with and the life of the party.
As my wife and I write this, we are still buzzing from one of the best days of our lives. Our wedding was more incredible than we ever could have imagined. And that wouldnât have been possible if it wasnât for DJ Dayve and his very talented skills in the booth.
DJ Dayveâs impact was felt much earlier than the night of our special day. DJ Dayveâs communication and organizational techniques were top notch. Once signing to work with him, he immediately laid out his timeline and all the necessary steps that would take place along the way. It quickly brought us comfort knowing he was on top of it all (especially knowing time management isnât my wife and Iâs best quality). It was one less thing my wife and I didnât have to worry about.
Fast forward to the day of the wedding - DJ Dayve was at the venue as early as theyâd let him in. Again with the organization! DJ Dayveâs MC abilities were phenomenal all night. And once the music got started he really got to showcase his expertise. DJ Dayve read the crowd incredibly and kept everyone wanting to stay on the dance floor. DJ Dayveâs booth and lightning setup was also something worth mentioning - it made the dance floor that much more appealing. Lastly, DJ Dayve may be the flyest dressed DJ out there!
All in all, DJ Dayve will be our only recommendation to our friends and family. Thank you friend for making our day unforgettably special.
DJ Dave was awesome to work with. He was so organized and made everything a breeze from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the party all night long. We are still to this day getting compliments on him from our wedding. Hands down the DJ to go with.
DJ Dayve was absolutely incredible. He made our special day perfect. He played the best music and kept everybody out on the dance floor having a wonderful time. He was extremely professional in the way he presented himself. We couldnât be more pleased with him and his services!
DJ Dayve was phenomenal from start to finish! We were SO impressed by his professionalism, organization and creativity. All of our guests have raved about how awesome he was for our special day. We will absolutely use and recommend for future use! Thanks again Dave!
DJ Dayve did an AMAZING job. He was very organized and paid a ton of attention to detail. Was able to make changes on the fly and his communication throughout the process was A+. Most importantly, he was outstanding at reading the room and keeping everyone dancing the whole entire night. He did such a great job that we actually extended another hour to our reception because everyone was having so much fun. We highly recommend DJ Dayve, no question about it.
Dayve is a high school classmate of my husband and when we started our wedding planning process, there was no doubt in his mind that we should hire Dayve to DJ our wedding. Dayve made the music selection process incredibly easy and our day was beyond perfect! We cannot thank him enough and tell everyone if they are looking for a DJ, to hire DJ Dayve!
Dj Dayve surpassed every one of our expectation on our wedding day and many months prior to the event!!! He is so professional and so helpful in every way. On top of that he was so thorough and organized that it made our event planning and day of so smooth.
We met Dayve through one of our friends that used his service, and based on her wonderful experience with him we knew we had to meet him! Since our first phone call we knew he was it and booked him the same day.
He set up and schedules three additional Video phone calls to discuss all our thoughts and plans. He gives his expert opinion on timing and works around our personal wishes. He also is really good at keeping surprises ( which we had a lot of at our wedding!)
He was always available to talk through phone or text but we felt like those three calls were enough. He always had a smile on his face which kept us very calm!
He does excel sheets with every step of the event, which our event planner was so impressed with. She herself used the excel sheets because they were so helpful. He learns everyones name and pronunciation perfectly prior to the event.
He sets up hours before the Beginning of the event and this gives him ample time to meet everyone and find the perfect place for set up. He also calls the event planners ahead of time to make sure that that the day of runs as smooth as possible. his equipment is top notch and looks so professional and clean.
He really reads the room and plays the music that will get everyone dancing! He allows you to pick and chose whatever songs you want or donât want and can cut songs to make them start at the perfect time! He customizes everything and tailors his service to exactly what you envision. He works well with everyone on the day of the wedding including photographers videographers florist and guest. He takes the lead on the wedding day to make sure everything goes exactly as planned.
We are so happy we made this choice and are looking forward to using his service in the future! Thanks A million Dayve!
Dj Dayve went above and beyond throughout our entire wedding process. He has created his own system/timeline to work with you on your wedding playlists and and his communication is unparalleled, something we truly value. We hired Dayve for ceremony, reception, uplighting, emcee and basically everything and anything he does! He created a custom mix for my fun father/daughter dance that was a combination of 5 songs. He also worked with a company we hired called CrowdSync that created custom light up wrist bands that syncs with him DJâing. Dayve even surprised us by showing up to our rehearsal to guarantee things went off without a hitch. Dayve was extremely professional and just overall and extraordinary person to work with.
DJ Dayve made our wedding a night we will always remember! Not only was he the most organized out of all of our vendors, but he made our night a freaking PARTY! He also made sure our that our whole night ran seamlessly and on time. Our experience was nothing short of PERFECT! DJ Dayve had everyone on the dance floor the whole night, I mean THE WHOLE NIGHT we had to literally drag people off the dance floor at the end of the night to do our sparkler send off. I even tried to keep him an extra hour (which he was on board with), but unfortunately the venue couldnât make it happen. His setup was also spectacular - from the up-lights to the white dj booth I mean everything was on point! Every one of our guests came up to us after the wedding or in the days following raving about how incredible DJ Dayve was. All my other vendors decided to add DJ Dayve to their preferred vendor list because they loved him just as much as we did. Hands down DJ Dayve is the way to go, youâll be in for a night youâll forever cherish!
DJ Dayve is a class act and a great guy/DJ to work with! From the music selection, to the day of organization, he truly is everything you can ask for in a DJ. We couldnât have been happier picking DJ Dayve to orchestrate our big day. Thanks again Dave!
Dave was fantastic in every aspect! There is no question why he is rated the best DJ in SWFL. We highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a DJ.
Daveâs organization and understanding of how the wedding should flow made our planning process so much easier and less stressful. Dave provided excel templates covering every detail within the wedding celebration which eliminated any uncertainty or confusion on our end. With these templates, Dave walked us through each part, step by step, exemplifying great communication skills and flexibility to work and design the layout that we wanted.
In regards to selecting our music, we had specific songs that we wanted to hear and Dave helped us with the grey areas where we were unsure of. Dave has a wealth of knowledge in all kinds of music and different genres, and was completely in-sync with the style that we wanted. The final product couldnât have been any better. The music for our wedding was simply perfect.
Not only is Dave a great organizer and manager, but he is a fantastic performer! He absolutely exceeded all expectations here (and ours were very high!) Every single one of our friends and family raved about how awesome Dave was. At the end of the night, everyone was chanting âencoreâ! Dave obliged happily. Seeing that the party was not going to end, the father of the bride extended the music for another hour, and Dave truly made our night special.
Dave, for all of your hard work, we cannot thank you enough! We wish you all of the best in your future endeavors.

DJ Dayve was a fantastic DJ for our daughter's wedding. Not only did he provide beautiful music for the wedding ceremony and dinner he also provided a fun filled evening of great dance music after. His meticulous planning and professionalism led to a seamless wedding.
Hiring DJ Dayve for our wedding was hands-down one of the best decisions we have ever made! From helping us through the planning process, to bringing the energy from start to finish on our wedding day, there wasn't a part of our wedding that was overlooked. DJ Dayve made everyone feel so comfortable and made sure everyone had a great time! His attention to detail and creativity for our playlists kept the energy going from the ceremony to cocktail hour, through extended time at our reception. We highly recommend DJ Dayve for anyone planning a wedding or event. Thank you Dayve for making our wedding so memorable!
WOW!That is all I can say!My husband and I were nervous and anxious about working with a DJ we never met in person and didn't know anything about!We found DJ Dayve on several wedding websites stating that he was the BEST in Tampa area. We told him from day 1 that he was the 3rd most important person at the wedding after myself and the groom.Our friends and family love to party and dance and we told him he was the party starter!I can't tell you how many times the night of the wedding I was told by several people that they have NEVER been to a wedding where EVERYONE was up dancing.DJ Dayve had my 80 year old grandparents breaking it down on the dance floor!DJ Dayve OUTDID himself! It was beyond what I would have ever imagined.The facetimes and emails were comforting and made everything go smooth!I cant put into words how outstanding DJ Dayve made the night- we are almost coming up on a month after the wedding and people are still talking about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to!He also let me help DJ in the DJ booth! Which made for amazing photos!
Thank you for everything Dayve!You truly made the night magical!Love ,Chelsea and Wesley Estes
DJ Dayve was Exceptional! He was so easy to work with and was with us every step of the way. He was very professional in the way he presents and carries himself. From the hiring process, small wedding details, selecting music and the wedding itself; it all went so smoothly and seamlessly I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ. He asked a lot of questions to try and understand our vision and what we were looking for on our big day and executed wonderfully. DJ Dayve is someone you can trust to make your special day even more memorable. Highly Recommended!!! Thank You DJ Dayve
DJ Dayve was amazing! He was so incredibly organized and prepared for all of our calls. He not only provided great recommendations but was also very accommodating of any and all requests. He is so professional that he even lets you select what color DJ booth you would like him to use AND what color suit you would like him to wear the day of your event. I was impressed with him before our wedding day but he impressed me even more on our actual wedding day. All of our guests were dancing the entire night - his playlists for the cocktail hour and reception were absolutely perfect and his energy was even better. I am so happy that we went with DJ Dayve and would highly recommend him to anyone that asked. He's the very best!!! :)
DJ Dayve was incredible!! The dance floor was packed all night long, just how I always pictured my wedding day. Numerous guests went out of their way to tell us how great Dayve was and how much fun they had dancing - including my 94-year-old grandfather! He knows how to pick the perfect songs for the moment and the crowd. During the months leading up to the wedding, he helped us think of songs for the wedding party intro, last dance, and all the other little details we hadnât even thought of. He was always very organized and friendly which made the process even easier for us. A wedding is only as good as the DJ, and ours was the absolute BEST because of DJ Dayve!
