My wife and I can’t express enough how much of a blessing DJ Nate was to our wedding. Even my mother made it a point to say how impressed she was with him, and it takes ALOT to impress her. First of all, we booked him about 5 weeks before our wedding. Our initial meetings with him were welcoming (it felt like we knew him for years) and his consistent communication made the entire process seamless. We didn’t know how this process worked initially but he assured us that he’ll take care of everything, from scouting the venue to talking and planning with the wedding coordinator. On the day of the wedding, not only was the music selection great, but he also played the role of MC for us and directed our guests during dinner time at the reception. Talk about going above and beyond. I'm forever grateful for DJ Nate. I don’t know too many people in the Phoenix area, but if ANYBODY asks us for DJ recommendations he will be the FIRST AND ONLY DJ I will recommend. Period.

Nate was SO great for our wedding! We originally found him at my husbands work holiday party. His crowd work and way of keeping a bunch of finance guys entertained was impressive, so we decided to hire him to DJ our wedding! He did not disappoint! Our main goal was to throw an amazing party and keep our guests dancing all night long. He had the dance floor FULL all night (even after the lights came on)! We couldn't have asked for a better night! He made the party! Thank you, Nate!

DJ Nate was incredible. He is by your side through from start to end (literally)! His planning skills are impeccable and his wide variety of music is amazing. I have a very mixed family and yet he was able to please the entire crowd. He is attentive to not only his clients, but details. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone as he is so professional, talented and FUNNY! The most charismatic human with the best jokes.
Absolutely 100000% would pick him over and over again. Thank you Nate for setting a great tone for the night. We all loved you!

DJ Nate was an absolute VIBE on our wedding day – not only is he a consummate professional through and through, but he really focused a lot of energy on getting to know the both of us as individuals so he could make sure to deliver the night we were both looking for. The unlimited consultation sessions once we booked were a huge benefit as there were a lot of special and unique pieces to not just our ceremony but the reception that we needed to coordinate with him. Anything that we threw his way, he not only made it happen perfectly, but he was also able to accentuate it with his own personality and managed the crowd to get them revved up before high energy situations. He had a mastery of our ceremony and evening, constantly reminding us of what’s next, checking in to make sure were good with where the night was going, and always had the right things queued up. And once we got to the dance party of it all, he was just in his BAG. One of the best decisions that we made was letting him do his thing and not flooding him with song suggestions – he knew the style of music we liked, the age demographic of our guests and more importantly our friends, and ran with it full steam ahead. The mix of old and new songs, throwbacks and bangers was just perfect. We danced the night away and before we knew it, we were at our last song, not ready for the night to end.
Not only is Nate a great Wedding DJ in his ability to run the show from ceremony and reception, and also throw on heck of a party, he’s also just a great and genuine human. Working and interacting with him throughout the process you could tell he was genuinely invested in us as individuals, a couple, and making sure we were getting exactly what we had envisioned for our big day. Each consultation meeting was full of laughs and jokes, and just fun brainstorming sessions. It was priceless what he delivered to us on our wedding day, and we’ll forever be indebted to him for that. If you’re looking for a DJ for any reason, but specifically a wedding, Nate is your guy!

If I could give more stars, I would...
Nate was absolutely amazing; the entire wedding experience was unbelievable thanks to him. The energy he brought to the venue was felt by all our guests. We have received an overwhelming number of guests tell us that was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. From the music to the announcements, Nate was absolutely perfect. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to have to easiest and most enjoyable experience with a DJ.
Thank you so much, Nate!!!!!!!

Nate was incredible! Our guests were itching to dance right when the reception started and Nate had them dancing all night long. So many people told us he was the best DJ they have ever seen at a wedding. He catered to many different music tastes and everyone was having a great time. Nate was also a great emcee. Since we didn’t have a wedding planner, he kept us right on track all night long. We could not be more pleased with how the night went!

Pros: Nate is one of the most organized and professional individuals! From the first video meeting, you can see how dedicated he is! Even when he met us for our venue walk through, he came at least an hour early! The app he uses allows you to pick songs for certain moments throughout the wedding and gives him an idea of the music you like. Nate is also a great MC! That's SO important when looking for a wedding DJ! All DJs can play music, but not all are comfortable on the microphone. Nate kept with the schedule and honestly took a lot of the coordinating off of our plate. We didn't have to worry about the timeline on our wedding day at all! For that, he deserves 5 stars!
Cons: Nate was awesome but there were a few things that need to be brought up in order to give an honest review. First, we discussed with Nate that we had a wedding playlist on Spotify that we curated and would like him to go off of. Nate played some songs from our playlist (we wish he would've played more) but also played some songs we would have never chosen. Also, during our initial video chat, Nate asked about songs we absolutely did not want played, we discussed it and laughed about it and guess what? He played the number one song that was on the no play list.
All in all our guests had a great time and danced the whole entire wedding! We would recommend hiring Nate. We think the DJ is one of the most crucial roles and you can definitely count on Nate!

Nate is an awesome Dj/Mc. He is very professional and organized. His online software is very user friendly and makes the process so simple. I did not stress once he helped with the itinerary and made sure it flowed nicely. At the reception his set up was nice and sleek. He did a great job hosting and making announcements and made my guests feel very welcomed.

Nate was an incredible addition to our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us before the wedding and really incorporated that into his approach for the night. He kept our crowd excited and joyful and NAILED the music mix. We got compliments all night long on the music and the overall vibe of the evening. I’d emphatically recommend Nate to any couple looking for a DJ for their big day. Thank you Nate!

Nate gets it. I mean, he really takes the time to understand what you want, and boy does he deliver!! We got married in 2014, and Nate made it incredibly memorable. He MC’ed flawlessly, and handled a million different types of music smoothly and effortlessly. Toward the end of the evening, as only very close friends and family were left, Nate even created an impromptu beautiful closing moment for us right off the cuff... we still look back at that evening and are soooo glad we went with Nate! He is just wonderful!

Seriously THE BEST DJ EVERRR! Not exaggerating in any way shape or form. If you hire Nate, you know your wedding (or party or event) will be great! He knows exactly what he is doing and takes direction well. So if you have no idea what you want or where to start when it comes to setting the tone,mood, and flow of the reception, nate cane make all the suggestions and knows how to adjust with the crowd as he goes. And at the same time, if you have a very specific idea of what you want to see happen, nate will execute it to a T! If you need a DJ, Nate is your guy... PERIOD!

Nate took excellent care of us leading up to, during, and after our wedding.
Nate made sure to fully understand the vibe we’re trting to create at our wedding and delivered. He was also very attentive during the wedding when we made a few changes. Our wedding was four years ago and friends & family are still talking about how much fun they had!
I would recommend Nate to anyone who would ask!

Nate was an amazing DJ! He did a great job of keeping the party going and made it fun for everyone! When the guys were about to do the garter toss he killed sometime by having them dance while my wife made her way to the dance floor. When they weren't busting a move, he took it upon himself to show them some dance moves and got them all dancing for everyone. It was great!
He was also VERY easy to work with and super professional. Everything was painless and he had fantastic suggestions - he even thought about things neither of us had and made it even better.
He was also very intecntional about using our style of music for everything and added personal touches throughout the night that weren't necessary, but made a significant difference in the experience.
A wedding is all about the details and so it Nateboogee Entertainment!

Me and my wife had our wedding at Kelly's Garden in Santa Clarita CA last September. We were referred to Nate for a DJ/MC and could not have been happier with our decision. From our first phone meeting Nate was full of energy and very easy to work with. His online system for making payments and choosing music made the entire experience seamless. During our reception, he was kind and attentive to our guests while not being overbearing of the schedule. He also made the experience pleasant for me and my wife as he offered to bring us food and wine as well, which I was not expecting. I am happy to refer Nate as I know his positive demeanor and attitude will make any experience a great one. Thank you Nate for your great work.

Nate was incredible! From the very first time we spoke on the phone his professionalism, knowledge and excitement wowed me! He was organized and had a plan in place to help our wedding reception go off without a hitch! And to top it off he was extremely affordable! We wanted a party and that’s what Nate gave us!! He traveled all the way to San Diego and didn’t think twice. I have referred him to numerous friends and relatives. Without a doubt, Nate will forever be our go to!

I am very thankful you were our dj. Not only you showed up earlier and dressed for the ocassion, you did an amazing job entertained such a mixed crowd. You made it fun and engaging. All I had to do was walked in and everyone was ready to party. You took us throughout dinner, Peruvian dancers I hired, first song, dance with parents, parents speech all very smoothly. I don't know what I would have done without you! Thank you for everything you did for us that night.

Nate was amazing! He set things up effortlessly (or so it seemed), finding out what music we liked and laying out a playlist. It was both fun, and de-stressing to work with him since his entire 'no-drama' approach really helped us to feel that everything was just going to be taken care of.
On the day, he was a great MC. He kept everyone happy but didn't let anyone take over. He worked with a musician friend of ours so that he started singing during the reception. To sum up: Nate is calm, funny, flexible, super-capable and an awesome guy.
I strongly recommend that you book him to MC your wedding.

My mom used Nate for many of her work events so I decided to use him for my wedding. I can't even begin to tell you how awesome he was! I had weddings to attend the weekend before and after mine and he blew both of them away! He was awesome, helpful and perfect in every way!
At the wedding the following weekend the groom came up to me and said "what was the song/dance your DJ taught us? I have to go tell mine to play it!" We didn't have to make requests with Nate! He knew exactly what to play and when to play it!!!
