Richie and his team were awesome! He made sure the party atmosphere was energetic and fun! Our guests were on the dance floor all night long and we got a ton of compliments for the music and entertainment!
We hired DJ Richie for our wedding and he helped to make our special day unforgettable. Richie brought lots of energy to the party and he even got people to the dancefloor. Our guests were very entertained and some even told us that they would hire him for future events. You will not be disappointed!
DJ Live made my wedding the best day ever!! Guests are still raving about how amazing Richie was, the music that was played, and how he kept the dance floor packed the entire night! Richie also made sure to continuously check in prior to the wedding and ensure everything was what my husband and I wanted for our big day. He truly goes above and beyond and is also an amazing musician. Be sure to have him bring his drum set, the guests LOVE it!!
Any questions?
Wedding planning is overwhelming but Richie helped make it feel so much easier! The team is professional, friendly, and they know how to keep a party going! The dance floor was full the whole night and everyone had a great time at our wedding!
DJ Live did a phenomenal job with our wedding! We really couldn’t have asked for anything more. Richie was so easy to work with, went above and beyond expectations and had all of our guests on the dance floor all night long. He was very responsive leading up to the big day and sent check ins throughout the planning process. His passion for music truly reflects in his work! We can't thank you enough for making our night so memorable!!!
DJ Live is the absolute best! Richie was wonderful through the entire process and I’m so glad we hired him for our wedding! Richie was very attentive, checked in with us at the right times and made us feel like stars. He made sure to play all of our favorite songs and mixed everything perfectly to keep the entire crowd on the dance floor. DJ Live’s pianist at cocktail hour was wonderful, he looked like he was so happy to be at our wedding with us. The photo booth was a hit, even my 93 year old grandma loved it. Richie on percussion added some extra fun to our night, not to mention the indoor sparklers for some picture perfect opportunities. At the end of the night when the crowd dispersed my new husband and I enjoyed a dance on the floor alone and I caught a smile on Richie’s face that told me he really loved what he did. I cannot recommend DJ Live enough and I wish we could live our wedding over again and again. Thank you!
On August 10th we had the pleasure and honor to have DJ Richie as the DJ/MC of our daughter’s wedding. Right from the beginning Richie got the crowd going and this lasted for the entire reception from the introduction of the bride and groom through the final dance. We were so lucky that the Marina Del Rey suggested Richie. The service that Richie provided was Top rate and I feel like he became part of our family during the reception. When you are having a function it is imperative that you have the best music and with Richie that is what we got.
Richie and his team are the best there is. Throughout the planning process they were prompt, responsive and helpful. On our wedding day, we could not have dreamed for better. The music dictated and was perfectly in tune with the vibe the entire night, and when it was time to party they did not miss on a single song. When we had to adjust a few small details they handled it with ease. They were a major part of helping make our wedding day the best day of our life and we could not recommend any more highly!
If only more than 5 stars was an option…Richie is more than just a DJ. He goes above and BEYOND to make your whole night special. Even leading up to your big day. He truly takes care of your needs and focuses on exactly what YOU want for your special day. He makes sure he asks any questions you might miss, goes into each detail with exactly what you ask him, caters to you and your needs. Offers amazing suggestions and truly takes care of you. He is beyond thorough with each and every part of your wedding day. The timing of your music, your idea comes to life and even beyond that. Richie knows how to get the party started, but most importantly knows how to KEEP the party going. He adds special touches to truly make sure your day is magical. Also what’s amazing is that he is so in tune with not only the crowd but with the bride and groom. He makes sure we are beyond happy, stays in tune with you and keeps a timely manner so that we can get the party moving and not “waste time” on cake cutting etc. he reads the room so well and the flow of his entertainment is impeccable. You should look NO further when it comes to a DJ and entertainment. We also had him bring a saxophone player, Richie played the drums as well along with the dj booth. It was incredible. We did our ceremony on the beach and down to the detail he nailed it. He made sure it went beyond smooth. He communicates with all your vendors, knows every detail about your wedding so he can be precise and have all the cards right. We are beyond happy with Richie, and our guests were too. They all reached out to him already to book their events. We couldn’t have asked for a better night. It was truly because of him and his amazing team and vision. He cares deeply for what he does and makes sure you are so happy with your day and more. DJ Live is what and who you need in your party life, wedding life, and more. Outstanding job. We would go back and do it all again. Thank you Richie and your incredible team for this AMAZING experience for our wedding. Every song, entertainment piece and beyond was truly truly outstanding. We love you guys! & especially thank you for making the ceremony music start at the certain times I asked that made me beyond happy I was in awe of how perfect it truly went. DJ LIVE LOOK NO FURTHER!!! BOOK THEM HERE AND NOW! You will be over the moon happy. Thank you again for making our day beyond special.
Our company hired DJ live for our annual holiday party and we were amazed by his service. The seemless transitions of different genres of music kept the dance floor packed all night. Our staff hasn't stopped raving about our awesome DJ pick this year! We hope to have him at all our future events.
Simply the BEST! Richie and his team had the dance floor packed ALL NIGHT!
The planning process was extremely smooth, and Richie was always available to answer our questions.
The variety of options offered through DJ Live! is quite impressive and allows you to customize your event to your liking. We opted for the advanced lighting package, live percussion & saxophone players, video screens, and the open-air photo booth, all of which were phenomenal. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how awesome everything was. I am so happy we chose DJ Live! for our event, and I highly recommend them to everyone.
The best dj! He brings the energy and gets everyone on the dance floor! He did an amazing job during our ceremony as well! We also used his Photo Booth which our guests loved! I would recommended DJ Live Entertainment to everyone
