What makes an amazing, unforgetting wedding? An AMAZING, unforgettable DJ! We used DJ Raffi as a DJ and his lighting services and he was way more than what we could've asked for. We had an American/ Armenian wedding and he did such an incredibl...
e job incorporating the two, as we asked. He went above and beyond to make our wedding so memorable. He is most certainly well experienced and a true professional and knows how to read the crowd. The lighting was also perfect. We had so many compliments and a few people said he was the best DJ they've ever heard at a wedding! We can't thank Raffi and his assistant enough for going above and beyond making our May 2021 wedding day so perfect! We highly recommend DJ Raffi and his services!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. It was delightful working with you both! We loved celebrating your special day with you both. Thank you for having us!
Raffi was right on top of everything. He spent alot of time with us getting our music selection together and where the songs would be played. Raffi was just great. Great personality awesome DJ!!!
Raffi and Herman were both fantastic! They were helpful throughout the entire process and listened to our every concern. Raffi even worked through a booking mistake very professionally. By the time Herman was done at our wedding he was like an ...
old friend! Thanks guys!
Any questions?
We were referred to Raffi by a family member who had used his services many times. Our first appointment couldn't have gone any smoother, we discussed with him which genres of music we would like played at our wedding reception. He was very ...
accommodating to all our requests, he also provided all the interior and exterior lighting for the venue and he even provided a dry ice machine to give a fog effect for our first dance. He is a perfectionist in all he did. Overall, Raffi met all our needs while providing a touch of class and professionalism.

DJ Raffi was great to work with, had excellent recommendations, and led to a really, really fun reception! My friends and family are still saying it was the best wedding they ever went to. Book him with no hesitation at all!
Raffi is an amazing DJ - professionalism at its best. he know color schemes, he is artistic, creative and very professional. His respect for the clients wishlists and song list are always met and he knows how to read the karma in the room ve...
ry well. Unique, Professional and extremely detailed is the best way to describe his services. He gets excited about each event he works and each one is unique and personal to him. Great Dj, beautiful lighting and sound system !! Overall A+++++
Very professional, kind, and caring. He goes over the wedding schedule with you and is always willing to listen to requests. His music playlist was incredible. All of my guests were impressed with the songs that were played at my wedding. I co...
uld have not asked for a better DJ. Also the uplighting/dance floor lighting were amazing. Thanks Raffi! :D
Dj Raffi is not only professional , he is organized , competent , always on time and makes sure you get what you want. He went above and beyond our expectations and perfectly delivered everything we hoped for. The music was perfect and so was ...
the lighting. Our wedding would not have been the same without DJ Raffi ! We recommend him to everybody we know.
We had a wonderful experience with Raffi at our wedding! He DJed my brother's wedding 8 years ago, did a phenomenal job then and en even better job at our weddingearlier this month! The music selection that he played was absolutely perfect and ...
the mixes were flawless. But that wasn't very surprising to us since Raffi was very pleasant and professional to work with since day 1. He was quick to respond and very knowledgeable and a great pleasure to work with all around.
Our Photographer left a little early which was a bummer because there were some key moments that hadn't been captured, but lo and behold, Raffi in fact captured those pics with his DSLR from behind the DJ Table and emailed us the pictures the next day! The pics were perfect! We couldn't believe our eyes!
All in all, I would highly recommend DJ Raffi to any couple getting married! He is so professional, organized and good at what he does, that I can assure you, that as long as you tell him what you want, he will make your wedding an absolute blasts for you and all your friends and family.
DJ Raffi was fantastic. What my wife and I loved about him from day 1 was his personality and his professionalism. DJ Raffi offered a great compliment of services, including being able to sub contract a Mariachi band which was AWESOME. His l...
ighting package was a great compliment to the venue, and, most importantly, we enjoyed DJ Raffi's ability to play fantastic song selections without needing us to give him a specific play list. it was easy for us to simply describe what genre of music we wanted for an atmosphere during each aspect of the wedding (as well as what we did not want to hear). The other value that DJ Raffi provided was his ability (and also encouragement) to include some great cultural music (I am Armenian and my Wife is Mexican). This really gave a great experience to all, in a very tasteful way. I highly recommend DJ Raffi - well worth it, and a great person on top of it all.
We wanted a dance party and that's exactly what we got! I felt guilty for not spending enough time with my guests, I was on the dance floor all night!
DJRaffi and his staff are wonderful to work with. Very professional all the way through. ...
Raffi wasn't available but recommended Bob. We were very pleased.
Raffi is AMAZING!!!!!!!
He created the most beautiful atmosphere with lighting and filled it with just the right blend of funky, eclectic music. Everything he did was done perfectly. The dining hour volume was perfect. Speakers were presente...
d flawlessly. Best of all, the dance floor was packed the whole night- he has this amazing ability to read the crowd and give them just what they want!
Raffi truly went above and beyond- he spoiled us rotten and even had a special surprise for us the night of the wedding! He made us feel like he was genuinely happy for us and honored to be a part of the day, and that was so incredibly special to us.
If you want a DJ that will give you not only what you want but what you NEED to make your wedding a PARTY that your guests will remember, look no further than Raffi!
DJ Raffi set the perfect tone to our wedding. He was very professional. He played the music we requested. And it sounded amazing. We had alot of older guests and we wanted them to feel at home. Both my husband and I wanted to play jazz and clas...
sic songs. The results were amazing. The music wasn't too loud so everyone could enjoy talking to eachother. But if we wanted to have it loud, I'm sure he would of done so. Raffi was very accomodating. At last moments notice, I contacted him because I realized we needed a microphone and stand for our speakers. Raffi contacted me back right away and assured us that it was no problem. We were married the morning of the BIG storm and also had to make our exit a little earlier. Raffi had no problem announcing our last dance and changing the music lineup for us. Raffi did this and everything thing with a smile. He was through out the day very pleasant and fun. A true professional. My husband and I are very pleased. Raffi set the tone for our wedding and in doing so it was the best day of our lives!
DJ Raffi was very good in the beginning however there were a few instances during the reception that we weren't happy with. He neglected to announce the dessert bar and last call at the bar, and he stopped playing earlier than he should have s...
aying that he started playing earlier even though we didn't tell him to do that. He was basically arguing about 15 minutes and I felt like we were being nickel and dimed. I will say that he played excellent music and the dance floor was packed the whole time. He also set up a jazz band for our cocktail hour and they were amazing!

We always welcome client feedback and truly enjoyed working at this wedding. However, it must be noted that this reception started 25 minutes earlier than scheduled. To prevent dead air as guests arrived to the cocktail hour; the banquet captai...
n asked if our jazz musicians could start playing earlier. We said "sure, as long as the couple authorizes it". As I stood by, he radioed their Wedding coordinator; who spoke to Erica and got an authorization for us to start earlier. We made it very clear that by doing so, she could: either end the reception as scheduled and pay a half hour of overtime. Or, end the reception a half hour early to offset the early start time. They chose to end early and not pay overtime. I still paid my musicians but did not charge our couple because their overtime is different than ours. Because I could not give them a half hour of free playtime Erica gave us a less than perfect review for what was otherwise a great reception! We also were never asked to make any announcements about the dessert bar-it was next to the dancefloor in full view. It is against Hotel Policy to announce last call for liability reasons. Best, Raffi
This DJ was expensive compared to other DJs in the area. A week before the wedding, Raffi told me he was sending a different DJ named Bob. Bob was amazing and definitely worth the money. Bob is who I'm reviewing because I'm not sure about Raffi...

step-in should the need arise; You will never be left high and dry with us. We are also glad that you were able to meet Bob and I before the wedding to get acquainted and establish a rapport. Fourth of July weekend is prime-time and that demand is reflected in our rates as with many in the industry. Thank you again for having us; it was a pleasure working with you and David!
Raffi was very easy and professional to work with. We didn't even know he was there besides the great music he was playing. Thanks Raffi!
He did a great job from start to finish! Very professional and classy!
DJ Raffi was professional professional profession. Loved them!;Communication can be a little slow. End of the day however they provide a great service.
he was great read the crowd very well everyone was dancing he wasn't loud and obnoxious as some DJs are only spoke when necessary
He was the perfect DJ--he spoke very well when he was supposed to, and didn't throw in any cheesy lines in between.;He didn't play too many songs from the list we gave him...but he did have an excellent sense of what the crowd wanted.
