We can’t thank DJ Griff enough for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable! From the start, he was so personable and the perfect MC—hitting every reminder and cue we discussed with ease. With just 30 guests, we were a little worried about keeping the dance floor energy alive, but DJ Griff completely delivered. He understood the vibe we wanted (more dancey and EDM) and played the best mix that had everyone on their feet all night.
What really sets him apart is his genuine talent as a DJ. He knows how to mix music seamlessly rather than just relying on a standard playlist, and he’s so easygoing—no ego, just an amazing attitude. He even helped us cut music for key moments and walked us through every part of the day so we felt confident and prepared.
If you’re looking for a DJ who is not only incredibly nice but also a master of his craft, hire DJ Griff. He made our wedding day seamless, fun, and unforgettable, with a dance floor that was absolutely poppin’!
Griff was awesome to work with, an all around great person! He was communicative and thoughtful, and nailed all our important music cues. He got our whole party dancing until the very end!
We attended a wedding with DJ Griff and we were blown away by the talent and how well they were able to read the crowd so we hired them for our NYE wedding. We worked with DJ Daniel who was awesome through the whole process. He knew exactly what vibe we wanted and he had a great energy throughout our night. I highly highly recommend this company and especially DJ Daniel. They also have a lot of great add ons like up lighting and club lighting that really made everything feel top notch. Thank you!!!
100% Don't even question it, just book them. We booked DJ Daniel and Emcee David for our wedding. The guests had never seen a better duo. We had a very mixed wedding meaning 1/2 was from Mexican and the other 1/2 was from Wisconsin. I'm not sure how they did it but everyone was dancing all night. David was so interactive with the guests too, so much so that at the very end they were begging him to make one more announcement!
We also had our wedding at La Ventura in San Clemente and they had the set up down to a science. They knew exactly what to do and where everything went. DJ Griff was very responsive in coordinating the both of them as well. Pricing was beyond fair and it was easy to make payments. I would 100% rebook them.
Thank you again,
Morgan & Sergio
We hired DJ Griff Entertainment for our wedding at the suggestion of the staff at our venue (La Ventura in San Clemente) and it was a great decision! Our DJ was Austin, who was friendly, professional, and did a great job handling the music throughout the night. Leading up to the wedding, both he and Griffin responded to emails promptly, and were very thorough in the preparations for the event. They even gave us a discount on the photo booth, which we greatly appreciated!
All we can say is look no further!!! DJ Griff + team was quite literally the easiest decision we made while wedding planning. Griff was an awesome host (and if you've ever been to a wedding where the DJ is not also a good host, then you know how awkward that can be) and truly listened to all of our requests and tastes in music. The whole day flowed so seamlessly, and Griff played a huge part in that. And don't even get us started on the dance floor...we had the time of our lives and our guests did too! If we had to do our wedding 100 times over, we would pick DJ Griff every single time!!
If you care about music, and you care about people dancing at your wedding, you HAVE TO hire Griff. Lucky for me, we found Griff because he DJ'd two of our friends' weddings (shoutout Cole/Leah and Alex/Aubrey!) and we knew we had to have him for ours.
Griff made the music portion of our wedding super easy by providing us with playlists, and all the documents we needed to complete and by when. He was easy to communicate with and is overall the nicest guy!
We also decided to hire his photobooth services and we had our guests paste their photo strip in our guest book. I think every single person who attended visited the photobooth AND the dance floor was full the ENTIRE night. Easily the best vendor we hired. Thank you Griff!!!
DJ Griff was absolutely amazing. To say he killed it would be an understatement. He was so attentive and walked with us through every step of the music process. He was open to hearing what we liked and didn’t like and took what we had envisioned and made it into a reality. Every single guest had something positive to say about how amazing Griffin was as a DJ. If you are looking to have an amazing wedding DJ Griff is a must.
DJ Griff was everything we hoped for and more! He was easy to communicate with from the very first email - very responsive and attentive to detail. His process for booking and figuring out our music style, which I'm sure like a lot of people spans many genres and styles, was impeccable. We booked a Photo Booth with him and couldn't be happier with the decision! During the ceremony, he just simply crushed it. He was able to seamlessly mix our styles together, was a stellar MC, and kept the party going. He was attentive to timing and I just cannot believe how lucky we got booking him. I cannot recommend him highly enough so do not hesitate and book him already!!
THE BEST!!! DJ Griffin is incredibly accommodating, organized, kind, and best of all a STELLAR DJ and MC. We could not have asked for more. Our wedding dance floor was packed all night and the way DJ Griffin mixed songs throughout the event was nothing short of perfection. He nailed every music and announcement cue from the ceremony to first dance to last song of the night. Our guests could not stop talking about how good he was and we are so incredibly happy to have booked him for our wedding! I could go on and on, but for anyone reading this review looking for a wedding DJ, BOOK HIM RIGHT NOW!!! You will not regret it
Working with SoCal DJ Ent was awesome! Upon inquiry, they were quick and efficient with sending over pricing and details. They responded to emails within a day or so which was extremely convenient while planning. The big day was flawless, and our guests are still talking about how much fun was had on the dance floor. We worked with DJ Ivan, and his style was exactly what we needed. He hit every announcement cue and his transitions kept everyone on their feet for our two hour dance party. I would hire this group a million times over!
I can't say enough good things about DJ Griff! Griffin was so communicative leading up to the special day and even had a Google doc that made the process of music selection simplified. All of his preselected Spotify playlists were also SO helpful. He was so outgoing on the mic and it felt so good to have someone so professional take the lead and help the timeline flow so seamlessly. I am still hearing from guests that our music and dancing was the highlight and the most fun!
DJ Griff is absolutely the best DJ ever! He made our wedding day so special and everyone from our wedding was so impressed by him! He has the best personality, is so friendly, and makes the day run so smoothly! He made the planning process easy and stress free. I didn't want to have to pick all of the party music for our wedding and let Griff do what we does best, and he KILLED IT! Every song on the dance floor was a banger and had every person dancing and singing along! I would highly recommend him to any and all of my family and friends! It was such a blessing to have him be such a big part of our biggest day! A true professional and beyond talented at what he does! Do yourself a favor and book Griff!
I recently had the pleasure of hiring SoCal DJs for my wedding, and I must say, I was blown away by their exceptional service!
DJ Griff was professional, courteous, and attentive to our needs. He took the time to sit down with us and discuss our music preferences, ensuring that they had a clear understanding of what we wanted. And on the big day, he delivered beyond our wildest expectations!
Griff seamlessly mixed all our music requests, creating a lively and unforgettable atmosphere that kept our guests dancing all night long. He read the crowd and adjusted the music accordingly, ensuring that everyone had a great time. I cannot count the number of compliments we received from our guests about the quality of the music and the amazing job he did. Their equipment was top-notch, and the sound quality was perfect. He even brought along some additional uplighting that added an extra touch of ambiance to the venue.
Throughout the entire event, DJ Griff remained professional and engaging, keeping the energy level high and the party going. I highly recommend SoCal DJ Ent for any event. They went above and beyond to make our special day even more memorable, and for that, we are forever grateful!
SoCal DJs are amazing! We hired DJ Austo for our wedding and he was an absolute hit. Even our vendors were mentioning they had never had so much fun at a wedding!! Austin made it easy about selecting music and energy. When the wedding night came he was flawless and an awesome MC. It felt like we had been friends forever. So happy we worked with DJ Griff Entertainment
We hired this company to perform a silent disco event for us in Carlsbad. They were awesome! All 3 DJs provided excellent mixes, and were extremely versatile. We had about 250 guests, all of which had a wonderful time at our 'silent' party. We would highly recommend using this team, as they delivered an unforgettable night.
Had an awesome night celebrating our wedding, and Griff was a huge part in delivering a flawless experience. He made everything so easy from the get go with his music sheet and planning documents. He also was available any time I called, which was spastic at times. Will certainly be hiring this team again in the future, as I couldn't image anyone else for the job!
We had our wedding over the weekend and wow, I can confidently say it was the best night of our entire lives. We had a large party of friends and family, over 250 people. Griff brought the house down and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire 3 hour set. We had a ton of EDM and hip hop requests, and griff had some of the best transitions we've ever heard. We are so glad we hired him!!
We are SO happy that we had DJ Griff MC/DJ for our wedding!! He was an awesome MC and had our guests dancing all night long! DJ Griff was always professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with - we could not have asked for a better experience!
Griffin is hands down one of the best DJs in Orange County! Not only is he great at reading a crowd and getting everyone on the dance floor, but he also is an incredible MC, is super responsive to emails, and cares so much for his clients. He managed to keep our entire wedding group on the dance floor for 3 hours straight and to this day our friends & family can’t stop talking about how great our DJ was! His helpful wedding doc makes it so easy to figure out what songs you need to select and he even has suggestions for each category (i.e. first dance, father/daughter, cake cutting, etc.). He made the process easy and made the day one we will remember forever! Everyone knows how important a good DJ is to a party and you cannot go wrong with Griff!
So happy we chose to book So Cal DJs as our wedding entertainment! We worked with DJ BMo after many months working with Griff to form our music and playlists. DJ Bmo not only killed it for us that night, but he absolutely overdelivered! Many of our guests still talk about the quality of transitions and special songs that he played. My husband and I will remember our dance floor for a long time!!
Hiring DJ Griff was the best decision we made in our wedding process! He made it so easy to browse and select songs for our big night. Come wedding day, he made sure everything was flawless. His Mcing and mixing came so effortlessly, we couldn't stop receiving compliments on our DJ for the entire night. You are very good a what you do, Griff!! Thanks for making our wedding a smash!
Please look no further than Griffin when booking your wedding DJ. He is truly the best wedding DJ and emcee -- and we have our guests to back that up! My (now) husband and I met at a music festival, so having incredible music at our wedding was the most important element we were going for. I came across Griffin on Instagram and loved his energy, the music he played, and just how much he was able to keep the crowd going the entire night. The reviews speak for themselves! Not to mention, he is SO friendly -- I loved chatting with him from the minute we met. He offers clients a music doc that you can collaborate with and it was so fun to pick all the music we wanted to make our day special. We are huge house music fans and he played every single song we asked for (and completely avoided our no plays!). Our best man was unfortunately unable to attend our wedding last minute and Griffin was able to play his recorded speech for our guests, which was very special for us. He seriously does not let you down and is extremely accommodating in ever way. Our guests couldn't stop raving about him and were telling us that he was the best DJ they had ever heard at a wedding so far. We totally agree -- thank you Griffin for being part of our day!
Working with Griff and his team was incredible. We were paired with DJ Austo, and he kept the party going all night long! Our relatives had some very particular requests, and he was able to play them with ease. We would love to hire SoCal DJs again.
DJ Griff Entertainment was professional from the start - from getting pricing, signing our contract, answering any questions we had, to music recommendations.
DJ Daniel was assigned to us for our wedding day. He reached out to us a few weeks before the wedding to go over the ceremony audio, the flow of the reception, music choices, and the photobooth. On the day of, DJ Daniel was AMAZING. He had everyone on the dance floor the entire night, and we got so many compliments on how great the playlist was. I would hire him again for any event!
DJ Daniel was so awesome! Coming off our wedding weekend and still buzzing from our perfect night. We were so lucky to find Griff and his team. They were beyond accommodating and easy to work with. My husbands side is Latino and we had a large portion of his family come in from out of state. It was important to us that our DJ know how to rock a dance floor, and play a ton of fun Spanish songs! Well he did not disappoint as DJ Daniel was a huge hit! We couldn't stop dancing all night long, to what ended up as the best night of our lives. Thank you for the perfect experience, Griff & Daniel, we'll continue to recommend you to anyone!
My husband and I got married at La Ventura Event Center this past April, and we can honestly say it was the best night of our lives!!! Everything from the rentals, to the food, to the florals, to the entertainment was incredible. The whole planning process was so seamless with Griff and his team, we appreciated the peace of mind while we locked in our other vendors and details. Our families are both big on partying and dancing, and Griff kept everyone going for 3 hours!! Thank you for the best night of our lives!
A DJ can make or break the night! This is why hiring a professional was on the top of James' and I's list. We wanted an open bar for all of our friends and relatives, and we wanted an open dance floor to celebrate for the whole night. We had the pleasure of working with DJ Austin for our event, and let me say, he did not disappoint!! Austin was there for us all throughout the planning process, offering song suggestions and timeline advice as we kept locking down our details. His day-of performance was top notch. Best transitions, best MC dialogue and voice (this was very important), and easiest vendor to work with.
DJ Griff was awesome for our wedding! We had seen him perform at a few of our mutual friends' events. The way he commanded the night, easing everyone into dancing and playing all the songs we requested. Seriously don't think my wife and I have had more fun at a wedding before. Hiring Griff was the right call!! His pricing is great for the service provided, and after our wedding is said and done, he feels more like family than a vendor!
OMG my husband and I cannot say enough kind things about DJ Griff Entertainment! We have truly been blown away by the professionalism and dependability by Griff and his team. Planning a wedding through a pandemic has been rough. We've been forced to change our plan multiple times, switch venues, do a quick vendor switch, and finally come November we were set to go. Griffin, from the very beginning, was able to connect us with one of his DJs - Austin, and we couldn't be more thankful for the way our wedding turned out. Our guests are still RAVING about how high energy the dance floor was, and how - despite the mask wearing, everyone had a fantastic time. Austin spoke fluently and eloquently as our MC, nailing every cue and pronouncing everything correctly! We would highly recommend this group of awesome individuals to any of our upcoming bride & groom friends!
We are so glad we went with DJ Griff for our wedding. We requested a lot of dance music because my wife loves dancing and guess what?...EVERYONE was on the dance floor the entire night. He is very seasoned and has a knack for keeping everyone happy and in the moment. So many of our guests complimented us on how fun our wedding was and I know that the music played a huge role in that. If I know anyone else that needs a DJ, I will for sure suggest Griff. He is very professional and caters to all of your musical needs (he even helps if you need suggestions with song choices). My wife and I are huge fans of his now; we even talked about going to see him DJ at one of the many events/clubs he works. If you are reading this to gauge if you should choose him, do it! You will not regret it ;) BEST DJ YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND!! Thank you, Griff for being awesome at what you do; your passion shows.
So thankful we hired DJ Griff Entertainment! Upon emailing Griffin, we had come to find that he was already booked for our wedding date on November 14th. He was quick and thoughtful enough to connect us with one of his team members, Brandon, and we couldn't be happier! Brandon was extremely professional, and checked all of our boxes. He was polite, cordial, and made it a point to introduce himself to the bridal party and our respective families. It felt like we had been friends with him forever! We also ordered the Open Air Halo Photobooth, and it was such a hit for our guests. SO fun to re-live those moments of our reception.
Wedding of our dreams! Let me begin by saying our wedding was initially going to be 200 people in a large reception hall in Fullerton. Due to Covid restrictions, we of course had to change plan. When push come to shove, we were forced to host the event in my husbands backyard. While this wasn't our first plan, I couldn't be more thankful for the way it turned out. A lot of this was due to the professionalism and expertise offered by Griff! We chose not to hire a coordinator, but that was no issue at all. Griffin helped us navigate through all things timeline and music related. He was so quick to respond and be ready to serve. The day of the event was flawless. Our family is Vietnamese and even they had too much fun dancing to the music. Thank you for the incredible night!
Hands down, the BEST DJ!!!! We were so thankful to find Griff through one of our close friends. He had DJ'ed her wedding, and while I was only a maid of honor at the time, I knew we had to have Griff! He was such a hit with our families and guests. Everything from his planning expertise, to logistical advice, you could really tell Griff cares for us and then event and wedding as a whole.
My husband is super into EDM, while I'm more of a country girl personally. Griff did an awesome job blending any and all genres we threw at him. Our dance floor went 4 straight hours, and we still had parents and grandparents out dancing in hour 3! What a party. I would recommend Griff and his team to anybody!
This was the best night ever!! Long time friend of Griff's, so I knew that no matter when we decided to book our wedding; we needed to book him! In August we decided to rock a backyard wedding, and dial our guest-count back just a bit. Come the day of, and everything was absolutely flawless. All of our music cues were hit, which I was nervous for due to the detailed list I had made for the DJ. His MC voice was perfect, and the all important timing was excellent as well. Our outside dance floor ended up being a total hit, and we still have people complimenting how this was the most fun they had ever had at a wedding.
Loved having Griff at our wedding! He was super flexible with our date and venue switch, due to Covid- and thankfully he was available our new day. Our venue coordinator had originally referred Griff over, so we knew that no matter what we threw at him, he would be able to handle it. The day of our wedding was flawless on so many levels, a lot of that is due to perfect sound. The audio quality was clean and clear, and his music had perfect bass- yet wasn't overbearing. The dance floor was awesome. We had a majority latino crowd so we were a bit apprehensive to see how it would all play out, but Griff played a perfect mix of many different genres to cater to our guests. Thank you so much Griff!!
My wedding was just a couple of weeks ago, and I am still dreaming about the amazing dance floor moments that happened at my wedding! Having an excellent DJ for our wedding was a must for us, and we were so so happy we found DJ Griff. Not only did he play all the songs we requested (I had a whole Spotify list), but he got almost all of my guests on the dance floor for the ENTIRE night-which was definitely one of my wedding goals! We had guests of ALL ages dancing, some who said they haven't danced since high school-it was amazing! He also definitely knew how to read the vibe of the crowd the entire night-which is key! He also kept the night going seamlessly as MC, everything we were doing he announced, and made a point of, so that our guests could actually know when things like the wedding cake cut, father/daughter dance, etc were happening! Brides, trust me you want DJ Griff as your DJ! Next time I have a dance party, I know who I'll be calling!
DJ Griff knows how to throttle a wedding!
Griff did an amazing job as our DJ and MC. He managed all the songs throughout the ceremony flawlessly including the all-important volume level. Many DJs seem to roll tunes but are unaware of the moment and Griff was completely in tune with what was going at every step of the event.
He handles the ceremony in one area, provides equipment to another space for cocktail hour and still provides yet another move to the main ballroom. Music was always present, perfect and in the right mood. Especially when it was time to pack the dance floor. The man knows what's hot and makes the crowd work!
He was early to set up, no hurry to finish, paid attention to every detailed request and set the perfect pace and tone for the event of a lifetime for us. Well done Griff. Hire him with confidence and book him early! He'll make a difference for you in a very professional way!
What an incredible day! We had hired Griff through a friend of ours, and after all things said and done-- he was the BEST vendor we worked with!! He was so on top of all our wedding details from beginning to end, and even was gracious enough to meet with my husband and I before the event. He offered so much positive insight into our day, things that we would never have even considered. This shows his true professionality and experience in the field.
His dance floor mix was very high energy, and although our guests wore masks, everyone had the best time!! We had young cousins in attendance, all the way up through our grandmothers -- Griff was able to get EVERYONE dancing all night. Thanks for all you do, Griff!
SO excited with the way our wedding turned out. We had initially booked with DJ Griff Ent back in December, and Griffin was so to work with. He was able to connect us with with our onsite DJ, Austin, and let me tell you -- he killed it!! He did our wedding in late August and was a great DJ for a few reasons.
1) Completely professional, showed up early and had everything he needed to set up ceremony and reception.
2) Made the dance floor the highlight of the night. It was SO fun and we are still getting comments from family and friends about how much they loved our dance floor.
I will refer and recommend him to anyone.
"Where did you get this guy? He is INCREDIBLE!? I've never been to such a fun wedding! I couldn't believe how many people were having the time of their lives dancing at your wedding!?" -Everyone at our wedding
DJ Griff is both professional and personal. He is incredible at what he does and makes the process simple, clear, and fun. He was willing to be flexible to the needs and desires of our party/wedding/event while always bringing the same energy and impeccable music choice. We had to reschedule our event 2 different times in order keep our dance floor, and accommodate social distance guidelines. We heard from so many of our guests about how much fun our dance party was and it's all thanks to Griff. He came prepared, knew what he was doing, and required little direction or assistance on the day of. I cannot recommend anyone more highly to DJ your party!
Two and a half years ago my girlfriend and I were invited to a wedding for some of our friends where DJ Griff was DJing, and it was one of the best weddings we've been to because of the energy at the reception. People were high energy, dancing into the night, and the music was incredible. We knew that when we started to plan our wedding, we'd do whatever we could to get DJ Griff as our wedding DJ.
Fast forward to earlier this month--our wedding day! All things had just come together Covid wise, and DJ Griff was even better than we remembered (if that's even possible). Through the whole wedding planning process he made it super easy and let us be as hands-on or off as we wanted to be with the music at the reception. We chose a few songs for certain moments (father-bride dance, mother-groom dance, etc.), but we left the rest of it up to Griff. He freaking killed it.
We got so many great comments from our guests about how fun the wedding was--we had almost everyone, young and old, dancing into the night.
If you're looking for a wedding DJ, you're a fool if you don't hire DJ Griff.
We absolutely LOVED having DJ Griff be a part of our wedding day! We were supposed to get married on May 16, but had to postpone due to COVID-19. DJ Griff was extremely flexible and accommodating, and really eased the stress of re-planning. He DJ'd our wedding on July 5th and added such joy to our entire day. He kept the night moving and was so punctual and prepared. He played the best music and everyone had the greatest time on the dance floor - masks and all!! Definitely hire him for any event you need! He is the BEST!
Griffin is the best DJ I've heard. He made my wedding a party! DJ Griff is the best at what he does! We is SO easy to work with, and always had our best interest in mind.
Our guest loved DJ Griff and wouldn't get off the dance floor. You would be silly to not have him DJ your event.
Not only is he so good at what he does but he is so kind and a pleasure to have around. We could not have been more thrilled with our decision to hire DJ Griff Entertainment!
My fiancee and I first heard DJ Griff at an APU event where he was the DJ for a big event. The dance floor was poppin' and everyone was dancing the entire night having a good time. We said in passing, "maybe we should hire this guy for our wedding." Later down the road, DJ Griff kept coming to mind so we reached out and contacted him.
No regrets at all! He was super easy to connect to and super accommodating to our needs. Our guests had such a blast all because of DJ Griff! He was our DJ and our emcee and we got many compliments of how they've never seen such a DJ with great emcee skills as well. He made the reception so engaging and our guests had so much fun!
Griffin was amazing! He was very accommodating and fast to respond every time we would email him.
It was very difficult to find the right kind of DJ for our wedding, but we are so glad that we choose Griffin.
We picked him for two reasons. First,his transitions from song to song were smooth. His mixes have a good flow to them. Second, the videos we saw on his website showed that everyone on the dance floor was having fun. At our wedding, he did not disappoint. He really felt the mood of dance floor and everyone was dancing til the very end. He catered to our music preferences perfectly. We had accoustic pop for our cocktail hour and then we transitioned to reggaeton and hiphop when the party started.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Griffin was beyond the perfect DJ to have for our wedding!
My friend had him DJ her wedding a few months before ours so she recommended us to contact him.
And to be honest, he totally "showed me the light" and gave me hope that we could actually have a wedding.
My now husband and I were going back and forth for months on the wedding location, size and honestly could we even afford one. We were going big, then small, then to just a courthouse. It was truly a difficult time in the beginning of the planning but Griffin pretty much sealed the whole deal!
I was really caught up on the date, the wedding date of course. It had to be on a 11th of a month. It couldn't be June 11, that was too close. It couldn't be July 11, that the hubby's mom's birthday. It couldn't be September 11, that's 9/11. And it couldn't be October or November 11 that was too late so it HAD TO BE August 11. I was not going to budge on the 11.
So I contacted Grif, kind of last minute too and he gave me the few dates in August he was available. Of course August 11 was NOT an option. I was bummed. Like obviously this whole wedding this is NOT supposed to happen right now. So I replied and told him my crazy obsession that it needed to be an 11 and I just wanted to confirm he WAS NOT available that night. And when he replied I almost cried. He said he had a distant event on the 10th and did not know when he was going to come back BUT if I wanted him on the 11th, he WOULD be back for the wedding! I could not stop smiling. I was like really? Did I read that correct?! You are available?
Literally, the stars aligned on that day. I contacted all the vendors (DJ, venue, food, photographer, etc. again all kind of last minute) and they ALL were still available on the 11th. I told my husband "It's happening." The stars aligned for a reason, we are supposed to get married on August 11, we WILL be able to make it work and it WILL be perfect. And that's exactly what it was... PERFECT!
Grif was sooooo very helpful the ENTIRE time, especially when filling out the music sheet. When I was "lost" in the beginning of it, he offered to meet, explain things, titles, timing, etc. If I had a question he answered it. If I needed a suggestion he gave me 3. He was beyond accommodating to our timing needs, budget, date of event, everything. I even asked if our first dance song could be a mixture of 2-3 songs and he even emailed me link on what it sounded like.
For the day of stuff, it still continued to be absolutely perfect. I loved the song choices we decided on for the ceremony in particular. It totally hit me that I was ACTUALLY GETTING MARRIED when he started playing the bridesmaids entrance song. They were walking down the isle, and then I was walking down the isle. And for the reception, he was still very accommodating and communicated on exactly what was going to happen.
And for the general dancing, we had a WIDE range in the age of the crowd but he kept it going for all ages to be able to dance too.
Grif was perfect and totally helped make the night run so smooth.
People always say the DJ/MC controls the whole night and sets the mood and it is very true. If you want the night to run smooth, have 0 problems, someone that's there for you from the start to the end, answers all your questions, and so much more, then you'll want to choose Griffin! He'll make your night perfect!
DJ Griff is one of the best wedding DJ's out there! I'm a wedding photographer, and I found out about DJ Griff because he was working a wedding that I was photographing. Having shot and attended quite a few weddings at this point, I can say that DJ Griff tops the competition by far. Consequently, I hired him to do my wedding, and it was AMAZING. The ceremony music was executed smoothly, all parts of the reception were flawless, and most importantly for me, the dance floor was super fun (aka lit). DJ Griff brings the party. My friends and I loooovvvveeee dancing, and that was one of the most important aspects of the night for me. Excellent music choice, transitions, and no shortage of bass (unless you're into that, in which case DJ Griff will make it happen). No one left the dance floor.
DJ Griff is the kind of DJ that has enough personality to where you enjoy whenever he picks up the microphone, but not too much that he's in your face. He's also incredibly accommodating and polite, which is a must for anyone vendor working a wedding. From start to finish, everything was done with excellence and professionalism. The man truly enjoys his craft, and it shows with how well he DJ's. If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding look no further, just hire him. Actually, if you need a DJ for anything from your wedding day to the opening of a new club, hire this guy!!! He'll work with you to fit the vibe you want for your event, and if you're looking for a really good time you've just found your DJ.
DJ Griff was absolutely amazing at our wedding. The entire wedding planning was so easy and went so smooth with Griffin, he made it so simple and fun for us! He was so responsive, kind, fun and really just wanted our wedding to be the best day of our lives. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night, even me and my husband. He kept the energy alive, music flowing and his mc’ing was awesome. I would love to have DJ Griff at any other events of ours in the future. I wish the night never ended, he was the best!
So beyond thrilled with the way our event turned out over the weekend. A few months back, I contacted Griff to DJ my fiancée and I's engagement party. While Griff was already booked for our evening, he was beyond accommodating in working with us to get paired with the right DJ from his crew. He handled all of the communication between us and our DJ, and the experience was seamless. We connected with DJ Austin, who was just as friendly and outgoing as we had hoped. The day of the event was flawless. Austin's song selection was perfect, he accepted all requests (my family is very musical, so this was a big deal to us) and even mixed in many different genres with ease. We're excited to have Griff and his team at our wedding next year, and hope they can be at all our parties in between!
DJ Griff was recommended for the wedding and I’m so glad that Sarah (the bride) ended up hiring him because he absolutely killed it!! First and foremost, he is friendly and warm yet still extremely professional. He looks the part and can answer any and all questions and make sure the MC portion goes smoothly. It’s clear he knows what he’s doing, that he is experienced and he’s prepared to deal with whoever/whatever comes his way. Griffin not only did what he was required to but went above and beyond - he read the vibe of the entire wedding and kept the energy flowing the whole night. We literally danced our hearts out for hours. He coordinated with Sarah before the wedding to make sure he had everything he needed, came in prepared, set up and took everything swiftly without disturbing anything. I would absolutely recommend Griffin for anyone’s event, no matter what kind of event, age group or size and will be making sure that he’s in all future weddings that I’m apart of. Thankfully we got to celebrate and enjoy the wedding before all the chaos of 2020 started!!
My wedding was just a couple of weeks ago, and I am still dreaming about the amazing dance floor moments that happened at my wedding! Our event had to be dialed back a bit due to Covid restrictions, but losing our dance floor was simply not an option! Having an excellent DJ for our wedding was a must for us, and we were so so happy we found DJ Griff. He was beyond accommodating with all of our last minute changes. Not only did he play all the songs we requested (I had a whole Spotify list), but he got almost all of my guests on the dance floor for the ENTIRE night-which was definitely one of my wedding goals! We had guests of ALL ages dancing, some who said they haven't danced since high school-it was amazing! He also definitely knew how to read the vibe of the crowd the entire night-which is key! He also kept the night going seamlessly as MC, everything we were doing he announced, and made a point of, so that our guests could actually know when things like the wedding cake cut, father/daughter dance, etc were happening! Brides, trust me you want DJ Griff as your DJ! Next time I have a dance party, I know who I'll be calling!
