Dave is amazing! We had a smaller wedding, but we was able to keep the party going until the very end. He is a great add to your vendor lineup!
DJ Digital Dave is truly the best of the best! Hiring him as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night, and his music was the highlight of our evening - exactly what we wanted. Friends and family are still raving about how awesome he was; many said they didn’t want to leave the dance floor for a second because they didn’t want to miss a single song, my husband and I included :) He’s top-notch, and I highly recommend him to anyone planning a wedding!
We absolutely loved having Dave as our DJ for our wedding! Going into the planning process, we knew that hiring a reputable and solid DJ was super important to us because it sets the tone for a fun reception - Dave did just that and then some!! He came highly recommended and we immediately knew that’s who we wanted to work with after our first meeting. Dave is professional, responsive, and just genuinely SO good at what he does. Literally no one left the dance floor once it opened!!!! He did such a good job of mixing current hits with throwbacks and really catered to a diverse crowd. We continue to get so many compliments on how good he was. If you’re considering using Dave, you will not be disappointed! Thank you for making our day so special!
DJ Dave was unavailable for our wedding date, but we had the most incredible night with DJ Mark Raich/DJ Hypnotza. We had specific vibes for the cocktail, dinner, and dancing portions and Mark blew each out the water. He did a great job communicating with our photographer and Day of Coordinator to make sure the flow was natural and all speeches/dances, etc were on time. My dad chose a specific version of Daddy’s Little Girl which required extra effort from Mark including using a Canadian VPN address. I don’t think many other djs would have made that much of an effort!
Dave was truly one of the highlights of our wedding night. We never wanted the music to stop and even had guests start an encore chant for him. If you are looking for a dj who can read a room well, keeps everyone on the dance floor, and keeps the vibes high, book him now!!!
Dave delivered the exact vibe we wanted for our wedding reception. Music was lit, dance floor was packed all night, guests still talk about how much fun they had. He is so kind and professional. 1000% recommend!!
DJ Digital Dave is the best of the best! When researching wedding vendors we immediately knew we wanted to book Dave to be a part of our big day! Dave is professional, knowledgable, and knew just the right music to play at any given moment. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and we received multiple inquiries/compliments about how incredible Dave was!
DJ Hypnotyza (Mark Raich) and DJ Digital Dave truly were amazing to work with- from the beginning, Dave was super communicative and responsive, connecting us with Mark early on and checking in frequently throughout the process. He also did the lighting at our venue and took that off our plate for us.
Now the party….. Mark knows how to keep a dance floor bumpin ALL NIGHT LONG. He exceeded our expectations and played banger after banger, one of our guests literally herniated a disc on the dance floor!!! He’s a genuine and earnest dude and knows everything about music and throwing a party that you’d want him to. HIGHLY recommend these two for any and every wedding- our friends have been raving about how fun the dance floor was and we had the absolute BEST time. Thank you Mark and Dave!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave was awesome! My wife Emily & I got married in October 2023. Our friends & family had such a great time on the dance floor. The music & vibes were perfect!
I would recommend Dave 10 out of 10 stars! Communication was excellent and he kept our dance floor packed all night long. Allowed us to make a clear list of music we would like played and not played and fulfilled each list... and then some! Excellent experience and would highly recommend!
We hired Dave after going to someone else’s wedding that we enjoyed so much. Dave was basically the first vendor we hired when we first got engaged. He did not disappoint; he was great and everyone had a great time. Several people after our wedding asked for his info for when they eventually get married :)
We are thrilled we chose to work with DJ Digital Dave for our wedding. He really exceeded our expectations. Two weeks before the wedding, I had submitted to Dave his easy to follow questionnaire packet of requests, timeline, playlists, etc. Not only did he configure amazing playlists for cocktail hour and dinner music based on my requests, but he kept the dance floor PACKED the entire night. We received so many compliments from our guests on how incredible the music was the entire night. Not to mention Dave sets up lights that also go with the songs- it added a really cool look to our dance floor photos! We are so thankful for Dave, he completed our wedding reception!
DJ Digital Dave is truly the best of the best! From the second the dance floor was opened at our wedding, it was PACKED! And no one left the dance floor until the reception was over 4 hours later. Our family is still talking about our amazing DJ even days later! He is great to work with, and was one of the highlights of our day, and I could not recommend him enough!
Dave is a persioanl friend and my wedding wasn't typical, so this review is more about his ability to do whatever you request.
We got married in Cape May, NJ and I asked Dave if here would be willing to travel to do our wedding. I was very happy he was becasue I would rather pay him than some person in Cape May that I never met, and also knowing Dave would be able to accomplish the requests on a non-traditional wedding.
Our main thing was we did not want any "wedding" music and wanted nothing about our wedding to be typical. Dave emailed me a wedding sheet that basically walks you through the whole process of the wedding. A lot of the items we crossed out since we weren't doing a typical wedding, but it gave us an idea of how the flow would go. We had a phone call becuse since we were not doing the typical things and I wanted his input on when and how to do the items we wanted. His advice was great and made the evening flow perfectly. His ability to adapt music to the age and size of the group is his stroggest asset. I highly reccommened using him if you also do not what the typical cliche' wedding music and want your guests to tell everyone yours was the best wedding they've ever attended.
DJ Digital Dave was absolutely amazing! No one left the dance floor! His transitions between songs were smooth and his creative music choices from all generations to have a fantastic time! He was also great on the microphone for any announcements and helping keep our day on-time and organized! We highly recommend DJ Digital Dave!
Dave was our wedding DJ and he was absolutely the best wedding DJ I have ever heard! He seamlessly transitioned between songs and played just enough of each track so that the crowd was satisfied and never got bored. At one point he transitioned to Doja Cat (I think?) from a Turkish line dance, which was so impressive and unexpected haha.
We got so many compliments and had so much fun dancing the night away at our wedding. I highly recommend him. He is organized, communicative, and very talented. Run, don't walk to book DJ Digital Dave for your wedding.
Dave was our wedding DJ and absolutely kept such a vibe all night. the dance floor was always full and he was so professional and Knowledgeable. It matters who you choose for your entertainment! 10/10 recommend!
We wanted our wedding to feel like a party and Dave made it the best party ever. Have you ever been to a wedding where the entire crowd is on the dance floor shouting “encore” for one more song? Me either…until the night of our wedding. We wish we could relive this night over and over again!!!
Everyone says that their wedding DJ is the best, but ours truly was. From the ceremony to cocktail our to reception, Dave knew exactly what to play for each occasion. He kept the energy high throughout the enter event. We threw in a couple last minute adjustments to the plan, which Dave handled beautifully. We are overwhelmed with compliments (both young and old) from our guests on the quality of Dave's service. Could not be happier, 10/10 would recommend!
DJ Digital Dave did an amazing job at our wedding! We got so many compliments on the music selection and DJ. Ourselves and our guests didn’t want the dancing to end. Dave was also very responsive with email and easy to work with. Highly recommend if you never want to leave the dance floor!
Music makes or breaks a rememberable wedding, don't cheap out on it!
DJ Digital Dave is phenomenal! I love to dance but was worried that having a small wedding of only about 60 people would limit the dance floor. He had everyone dancing for four hours straight! Couldn’t have asked for more - to say he is a “vibe curator” is an understatement!! Do not hesitate as he will make your wedding unforgettable!
DJ Digital Dave is a legend! His talent and knowledge of the industry is unmatched and working with him was worth every penny. He had people dancing before the official "after dinner dancing" even started. His high energy and ability to keep our guests dancing allowed us to completely bypass spending our whole wedding greeting tables becasue everyone was on the dance floor (hands down the best wedding gift I could have ever asked for).
DJ Digital Dave came highly recommended to us by our venue and he is the hands down the must have DJ for your wedding. Dave did an excellent job keeping the event flowing through the typical wedding day happening. When it came to dance time, Dave was an expert at reading the floor and keep all of our guests dancing until the last song.
Digital Dave hooked us up with DJ Hypnotyza and he brought the freaking party! He was a fantastic MC... funny, affable and went with the flow. He did a great job with the introductions (nailing some difficult names), speeches, keeping the night going, and of course ran the dancefloor to perfection.
We gave a few must-plays (and a few no-plays) and left the rest to him. Guests were able to get their requests played, and the party was jamming! We highly recommend DJ Hypnotyza for weddings and other functions.
Dave is truly the best DJ in Pittsburgh!! My husband and I heard him DJ for the first time at the casino and immediately knew we had to ask him about being the DJ for our wedding- we met with him soon after and made the easy decision to hire him for our wedding! Our wedding was held on August 29, 2021 after being postponed multiple times due to COVID and Dave was extremely understanding and accommodating throughout the entire process. We feel so lucky to have found him- he is very talented and everyone at our wedding couldn’t stop talking about how great he was! He picked the perfect music for throughout cocktail hour and dinner and most importantly, kept the dancing and party going for the entire reception. Almost everyone at our wedding was on the dance floor for the entire night and we all had an absolute blast. He was able to easily pick up the vibe of the crowd and continually play our favorite songs. To make it even better, Dave is so fun and easy to work with- he even met us out for a drink after the wedding!! I can’t recommend Dave enough!
DJ Digital Dave came highly recommended to us and I could not be happier that we went with him. We hired him for our cocktail hour / ceremony / reception and after party. He took extensive information on our requests and made sure get our favorite songs in while filling in the playlist that kept people on the dance floor. We received so many compliments on the music. Digital Dave was also able to remove the vocals from a song for our ceremony and was onboard for all of our requests as the night wore on. Absolutely the best and would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.
My wife and I hired Dave to DJ our wedding reception (and provide music during cocktail hour and dinner) and could not be happier with our decision to do so. Our initial conversation with Dave was awesome, talking about our vision for the event, some minor logistical things, and style. Dave has an awesome catalog of mixes he's done to give you a feel for what it would be like, and we were blown away by his mixing ability and song selection. He gave us a prep sheet to share the order of our events (speeches, special dances, etc.) and songs we DEFINITELY want to hear and DEFINITELY don't. Dave's professionalism and curation was incredible, he always hit the right tone at the right time and really took our guests into consideration when playing the next song. We've heard from countless guests that our "DJ was incredible" and "people went to the dancefloor and never left" which was our hope. We're already trying to think of ways to have another event and bring Dave in to perform. 10/10 would recommend!
THE BEST EVER! MIND READER OF MUSIC.
First off - I had been planning a wedding with DJ Dave since 2019, then Covid hit. He was more than willing to work with me throughout the several date changes with ease. After almost 3 years of planning and bragging to my friends and family about how I hired the best DJ ever, our day was finally here. DJ DIGITAL DAVE DID NOT DISAPPOINT WHATSOEVER. He was able to MC our dinner/reception flawlessly (which was on an entirely different floor than our dance floor), then once our dinner ended, he was ready to go on the dance floor. He played the songs I requested and did not play my "do not play songs/genre!". The dance floor was MOVING from start to finish. Dozens of guests commented on how SPOT ON the DJ was. I did not want the night to end! When I found out DJ Dave was heading to Cavo immediately after the wedding, we HAD to go, so we did! If we were to do this again.. without a doubt, DJ DIGITAL DAVE would be there!
Music at a wedding either makes or breaks it in my opinion. People remember how much fun they had, not what color tablecloths there were. If you want to guarantee a full dance floor the entire night without having to worry about a thing, Digital Dave is your guy! The only thing I had to contribute was a list of about 30 songs to give him an idea of our taste/ what we wanted the vibe to be and he was able to figure out the rest. He is great at reading the room and is so crafty at blending songs together to keep the energy high. My family was worried about not having a live band but with Dave you really don't need it. There's nothing worse than suffering through a 4 minute song that no one knows or drags the energy down. Hire Dave and that will absolutely not happen. Seats were empty and suits were sweaty. That's all you really need to know!
SERIOUSLY don't wait --book Dave!!! He is extremely professional and made our day absolutely perfect. He is first class all the way! Not to mention, our dance floor was PACKED. We even attended 2 weddings after ours where the bride and groom came up to us and said "we had so much fun at your wedding..your dj was phenomenal" -- at their own wedding! 3 of our friends have booked Dave for 2022 and early 2023 and I can't wait to attend. You cannot go wrong if you want to have a great time!
DJ Dave is the BEST in the biz! He DJ'ed our wedding on January 8, 2022 and he kept the night moving from cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. Dave's process is extremely thorough and he met with us multiple times to discuss everything. He also met with us at our venue to try out the uplighting. We went with several of his uplights - they completed the room. Our #1 compliment from our guests was how amazing our DJ was - he played absolutely everything and everyone from age 2 - 80 was on the dance floor. I would recommend him hands down!
DJ Hypnotyza (Mark Raich) is everything you could possibly want in a DJ for your wedding! Both Mark and DJ Digital Dave were extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process and their attention to detail gave us a high level of comfort that they were the right fit for us. Mark was willing to meet with us over Zoom on multiple occasions since we live out of state and really helped simplify the process. He listened to our ideas and our vision, while also offering his expertise as a professional. Above all, he is extremely personable and we cannot recommend him enough! DJ Hypnotyza will keep your dance floor POPPIN'!
DJ Digital Dave did a marvelous job with our dinner and dance music! We had super specific requests for walking in music, which he did perfectly. We gave him very little direction for dinner & dance, and he played everything we would have wanted and kept our guests dancing and enjoying themselves all night long with great music and smooth song transitions. He was even able to pull up a song on the fly that had been quoted in the bridesmaids’ speech to play as they finished talking, which was a simple touch but really impressed us. He was also really great on the microphone with announcements. Kept things brief and professional. We’re so glad we were able to work with him for our wedding!
DJ Digital Dave did an outstanding job at our wedding! Not only did he play killer music, he ensured that our night ran smoothly and checked in with us periodically to orchestrate the night’s events including our grand entrance, first dance, cake cutting, parent dances etc. He is one of the best in the business and it is clear that he is a true professional when it comes to weddings. He transitioned the night seamlessly from getting the all of guests on the dance floor with crowdpleaser songs to curating the nightclub vibe we wanted towards the end of the night. He had excellent club mixes that were so fun to dance to. All of our guests raved at how much fun they had and that they spent the entire night on the dance floor ! He definitely made our wedding super memorable! DJ Digital Dave is a MUST HIRE!
If you don't book DJ Digital Dave for your wedding, you are CRAZY. He did our best friends' wedding and ours as well. Everyone danced ALL NIGHT at both weddings and our friends and family have continued to rave about how great DJ Dave was. Our wedding was in Pittsburgh, but he will travel. We just can't rave about him enough. We wanted to have a great party and DJ Dave brought that to life!! You just can't leave the dance floor when DJ Dave is in charge. Absolutely amazing.
Dave was INCREDIBLE. He was easy to work with during the planning process and very thorough and responsive. He's incredibly organized and has every detail accounted for. The music was EXACTLY what we wanted!!! I got compliments all night long about how amazing the DJ was. He knows the vibe you're trying to achieve and just nails it. He also provided amazing uplighting that I absolutely loved. Can't recommend Dave enough!!!
DJ Dave absolutely rocked our wedding. My wife and I couldn't be happier with how great of a job he did. Dave was spot on with the wedding timeline and kept everyone on the dance floor all night! DJ Dave is one of the best DJ's I've seen at a wedding; and I'm so happy he could be there for our special day! I would recommend Dave to everyone I know because I know choosing him to be a DJ for your wedding will be the smartest and easiest decision you could make. His professionalism and expertise was highly visible all night. We trusted his music mixes and he absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. Thanks Dave for making our day so special. Cheers to you!
DJ Dave is the best wedding DJ we have ever dance to or experienced. We have been to countless weddings. If you want someone that can read the dance floor, play straight fire for a 6 hour dance set (yes we danced that long at our wedding and he nailed every second of it). He can read a crowd, mix old with new and just all around make everyone have a fantastic time. Super nice, professional and very accommodating. He even got our first dance song made into a file for us since it was only on YouTube as the artist hasn't released it yet. Hire him for your wedding, if you don't you're dumb! THE BEST!
DJ Digital Dave did such a great job for our wedding! We really wanted to make sure we had a fun dance party, and then with the pandemic, wearing masks and distancing, we weren't really sure that was going to be able to happen. But we absolutely ended up with a great dance party because of Digital Dave. We had so many friends after the wedding comment on how much they loved the DJ and how he had the best music selection and the best mixes!
Digital Dave was incredible to work with! He was the first and only DJ we met with in deciding on which DJ to use for our wedding. It was a no brainer for us. Dave is a detailed professional. We were pretty particular and specific when it came to planning our music, lights, etc. Dave exceeded our expectations!
When choosing a DJ for our wedding, we knew that we wanted someone good because guests attending your reception only care about a couple of things and one of those things is the music. After discovering DJ Digital Dave and after a few phone calls we knew that we had to have him for our wedding. We filled out a sheet for the day of telling him our "wants" and "do not wants". He completely exceeded our expectations. From the second the dance floor opened up and he told everyone to get out there I don't think a single guest left the dance floor until the last song was played. Everyone loved him so much they were all chanting "one more song!" after our last song was played so naturally Dave played one more song! I've never been to a wedding where that has ever happened! He is a true DJ and really knows what he is doing. And also he is good at reading the crowd and knowing what is going to keep people out there on the dance floor. My husband and I can not recommend him enough! He definitely made it a night that we will NEVER forget, and for that we are forever thankful.
DJ Digital Dave was the perfect DJ! He made the process extremely easy and totally understood what we were looking for. Our friends and family couldn't stay off the dance floor. I cannot recommend him enough!
DJ Digital Dave is An absolute experience. Professional, reliable, attentive, specific, talented. He created the reception of our dreams. My guests are still raving. His method is cool, classy, scientific. His mixing is pure engagement of the crowd. So exciting! So fun! Love. Love.
DJ Digital Dave is amazing! He was recommended to us by our wedding planner (S.H.E) and proved to be the best of the best. I gave him no songs other traditional bride/groom, son/mother, father/daughter dances and asked him to feel out the crowd and do what he thought was best for dancing. He had EVERYONE up dancing! He played a wide range of songs that were old and new, but that everyone knew. We got so many compliments on him and his music choices throughout the night. Book DJ Digital Dave, You will not be sorry!
DJ Digital Dave did an awesome job for our wedding at Hotel Monaco in Pittsburgh. We had a pretty good idea for our timeline and list of songs we wanted, but he really helped us organize everything perfectly and kept the night running smoothly. Dave was very easy to work with and we appreciated how he mixed the songs we had chosen while reading the room for others, all while intertwining genre's and artists that kept our guests very entertained. He tied songs together in a way that really made us appreciate his skills. We also had a couple non traditional mixes for our entrance songs which he was able to use without any issue. We highly recommend DJ Digital Dave as the best wedding DJ in Pittsburgh and really the best we've heard at any wedding anywhere.
DJ Digitial Dave was one of our very first vendors we booked and we were so happy and pleased with him as our DJ for our wedding. He's by far one of the best DJ's I've ever come across. He was all around amazing and our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without him. He is very professional and super talented to say the least. He was so easy to work with and got exactly what music we liked. We got so many compliments on how much people liked the music and had such a fun time. Our black and white patterned vinyl dance floor got a lot of use that night because of him.
One thing I do regret is ending our reception at 11pm as I wish we could have extended it to 11:30pm so we could dance more. This was our choice to end at 11pm and no one else's but had I known I would have extended it a bit more. I didn't want the night of fun to end!
My husband and I would highly recommend him! Guests always remember the food and music and this holds true. He will make your wedding and guests will be talking about how much fun they had for years to come.
Dave is the nicest human and the BEST DJ!! We had a crazy wedding day (I won’t get into that) but the way Dave handles it was AMAZING. I could easily see another DJ freaking out and having a melt down over what had happened but Dave was so kind, professional and on top of it. To the point were are guests were telling us how amazing and nice he was and that was just his personality!!
Dave as a DJ is killer! He keeps everyone on the dance floor having the time of their lives! He DJs clubs in the city and Pitt football games so he’s not just some dude with a laptop and speakers. He’s an actual professional!!! I recommend Dave to EVERYONE!! But you have to book him first thing because he books out quickly!!!
Picking a DJ for the wedding was one of the most stressful experiences I could ever imagine. I wanted All of our guests to be entertained enjoy the wedding as much as all of our guests to be entertained enjoy the wedding as much as possible possible. After meeting DJ digital Dave, we were convinced that he was the right choice. He’s experienced and knowledgeable but also is easy going as well. He made us feel comfortable, helped us with decision making and music selection. Once the party started at our wedding it was confirmed...he was the best!! Everyone had so much fun, danced all night long and gave us so many compliments. It was everything we could’ve ever imagined, thank you DJ digital Dave!!!
Digital Dave went above and beyond what we thought we were going to have. He was a professional on every level and many people at our wedding said he was the best DJ they’ve heard at a wedding. I’d highly recommend him for any event your thinking about hanging a DJ for.
