Nathaniel was an incredible DJ at our wedding! He is extremely professional, talented and helpful. He was really good at directing us in decision and timelines considering we have never planned a wedding before. He was really helpful in coming up with different song selections and had fantastic suggestions when we did not have any ideas. We really appreciated how he did not ask for a playlist but rather met with us to get the general vibes we wanted and then he did the rest as a professional! That was a huge weight off our shoulders knowing we could depend on him to do his job and he really did his job amazingly! He was very communicative and organized. The wedding day ran incredibly smooth with our music moving flawlessly through the day. He had a killer playlist for our reception and completely understood the vibe we were going for! A perfect combination of oldies and millennial emo rock! I got a huge amount of compliments on how great the vibes were because of the music! He also took all my "must play" songs and made sure every single one was played. Personally, the music was a hugely important part of our wedding and Nathaniel blew us away with just how amazing he made our wedding! Would highly highly recommend him to anyone!
Working with NDavis was a great experience for our past November wedding! We had a particular variety of music we wanted played and he did a great job keeping to our wants and helping keeping the party going! He also provided such awesome up lighting throughout the night! Our guests loved all the music and commented on how awesome the lighting. He also did an incredible job playing live music throughout our cocktail hour!
Nate did an amazing job providing sound support for our wedding ceremony, performing live music at our cocktail hour, and DJing and managing the dance floor for our reception. He took the time to learn about my partner's and my music taste, as well as the music requests from our guests. His live music performances were beautiful and he chose the perfect set list. When DJing, not only did he seamlessly transition between songs, but he also used music to create the right setting and mood for each of our special wedding dances and activities. And in preparing for our special day, he took note of how to pronounce the names of our family members and bridal party, just in case. We couldn't be more grateful for his level of skill and attention to detail, and we would happily work with him again for a special event in the future.
Nathaniel did an outstanding job for our wedding. He was incredibly professional and provided us such wonderful resources prior to the wedding. We met with him, he created an entire timeline aligning with the music request. He was timely in his communication and spend so much time in the lead up to make sure everything was just right.
During our wedding he moved between three different location and the live music was a hit during cocktail hour. I have been to many weddings and having a DJ who also plays live music is a first I have seen and something that was so special and unique.
Highly recommend him as a vendor as he did an outstanding job!
Nathaniel was incredible to work with. During our planning meeting, he was very thorough and listened to exactly how we wanted things to go. He made helpful suggestions for things we didn't even think about. He did a great job at making sure our officiant was miced up properly for the ceremony. He absolutely nailed the music selection for our reception! Our guests raved about how much they loved the music and overall vibe. We also went with one of his uplighting packages and it definitely made the reception space pop! It was so nice having that as an option so that we didn't have to look elsewhere for lighting. Thank you Nathaniel!
We hired Nathaniel for our wedding in August and could not be happier with how everything turned out. He was very easy to talk to and readily answered all our questions regarding the music selection and how the lighting would work at the venue. His attention to detail was amazing and sat down with us for an hour to go over the entire timeline from start to finish and ensured he understood what kind of music vibe we were going for. The day of was perfect, he made sure all the moving parts were moving in the right direction, from the ceremony, with all of the different sound aspects and microphones, the great background music at cocktail hour, to the bumping dance floor at the reception (seriously everyone was out there jamming out!). We even requested a special surprise spotlight dance for my parents and he pulled it off without them knowing. Truly cannot recommend Nathaniel enough, if you're looking for a great DJ he's the person for the job!
Our guests raved about Nathaniel! He DJ'd our wedding in October at The Barns at Hamilton Station. He was so responsive, full of great ideas and easy -- and fun! -- to work with. A consummate professional, I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Nathaniel was so nice and professional! He was responsive, patient, and helped me plan the perfect day. He had everything under control-down to the tiniest details. It couldn’t have been a better night. The lights were incredible too! Highly recommend!!!
NDavis Music was the perfect choice for our wedding! Nathaniel was great during the planning process, meeting with us in person to discuss logistics and learn more about our music taste. We chose the package that included three different location set ups. He had music playing during the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. Nathaniel was also very accommodating as we had a last minute family member who was going to sing the mother-son dance. The two were in contact to ensure this was perfectly set up. After the wedding, our family and friends raved about how great the music was. We highly recommend NDavis Music for your wedding day!
Nathaniel was a totally wonderful addition to our wedding day and was incredibly helpful leading up to it! The acoustic ceremony music he played was simply beautiful, as it was for the cocktail hour. Then, for the reception, the dance floor was live the whole night and everyone raved about how good the music was! His flexibility, positive attitude and energy really made such a difference on our wedding day and we cannot express our appreciation for his expertise enough!
It was such a pleasure to work with him, from our first conversation to a more detailed meeting to the wedding day itself! Our wedding would not have been the same without the presence and expertise of NDavis Music!
Nathaniel was amazing from beginning to end. He came highly recommended by our venue and put together the perfect music for our wedding. He was easy to work with and flexible throughout the process. He played live acoustic during our cocktail hour and DJ'd our reception as well. He read the crowd and played exactly what was needed all night!!
Nathaniel was so kind, organized, prepared and thorough in everything he did for our wedding! He knew exactly what music to play for us. We loved all of his song choices. Not only was he an amazing DJ, but he was also an amazing MC. He gave us great advice on the special events that take place during a wedding. I was extremely impressed and would highly recommend Nathaniel for any event!
Nathanial was very professional, thoughtful, and he played great music for our entire wedding. We didn't give him much guidance -- we pretty much just told him to play whatever he normally plays at weddings these days for people our age -- and he nailed it! I received many comments from our guests saying how great the DJ was. We got the monogram package, live music, and mood lighting which were really cool on the walls of the white tent that we got married in. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding to ask us a bunch of questions so we didn't really have to interact with him the day of the wedding. His performance was seamlessly integrated throughout the day. He also played live acoustic music and singing during the cocktail hour which the guests really enjoyed. Overall would highly recommend.
Nathaniel was great! He put together a great mix for our reception and did a great job of catering the music to the mood of the night. We couldn’t of asked for a better DJ to help make our night special and memorable. He
is also reasonably priced for the quality of service you receive. Thank you to Nathaniel and his team for everything they did for us! 10/10 would recommend you hire them for you wedding DJ services!!
Music sets the vibe of gives emotion to the wedding day. We were so honored to have worked with the best! Nathaniel helped make our day perfect. From learning the Bear Necessities for our cake cutting to playing the most amazing ceremony music ever, we are so grateful to have had Nathanial as our musician. I used to photograph bands for a living and am pretty picky when it comes to good music and I can honestly say that Nathaniel is amazing!
Amazing musician, extremely professional. He was a pleasure to work with.
Nathaniel and Joesph were awesome! Played a great playlist, kept us updated on what was coming up next ( cake cutting, first dance, etc) and were so great at picking music! They kept everyone dancing and my family aren’t huge dancers! I would recommend to anyone in the area who is having a special event! 1000 stars guys!
We are so happy that we booked Nathaniel Davis for our July 4th wedding! We originally went with NDavis because we wanted the special touch of live music for portions of our wedding celebration, and when Covid19 impacted our plans, we were so incredibly grateful to have such an amazing team of people to make our wedding happen! Nathaniel was incredibly flexible as plans evolved helping us plan the ceremony, putting us at ease, and learning special songs we wanted. He even traveled over 2 hours to our ceremony when we had to move it and plans to be there for our postponed reception in 2021! The day of, everything went smoothly and everyone was raving about the music (we went with mostly live music for our small/shortened ceremony). It just added such a comfortable and fun feel to a day I will never forget! Honestly, I think NDavis was the best choice we made in this whole process. I highly recommend NDavis-a wonderful person with a beautiful talent!
Nathaniel and Joe were the perfect musicians for my backyard wedding (highjacked from a church and winery by COVID-19)—they did everything, and did it in a professional and a heartfelt manner! Nathaniel took care of all the ceremony and processional music, and even sang a live music interlude during the service. NDavis music also turned my parents patio into a lovely first dance dance floor complete with mood lighting and later transitioned it to a full-on dance floor with party lights! When Nathaniel met with me to go over the order of events and playlist, he saw that I didn’t really know what I was doing, and ended up helping me plan the entire evening going off of the music schedule...Cannot recommend enough. Thank you, Nathaniel!
Andrew and I are SO happy we decided to book Nathaniel and his team to provide customized DJing and lighting services for our wedding! From start to finish, Nathaniel made sure he had every single detail he needed to ensure that the set up, ceremony, and reception flowed smoothly. Nathaniel provided all of the equipment and arrived early to set everything up. The up-lighting was impeccable and made our wedding ambiance so romantic. He kept everybody on the dance floor throughout the evening and was very prompt when having to time out wedding speeches, processionals, and guest exits. We 100% recommend Nathaniel and will surely be using him again for future entertainment needs!!!
Nathaniel is the best DJ ever. He listened to everything that we wanted in terms of music. He was very patient with all the details and changes we made.
All the guest commented on how great the DJ was and how he kept us dancing.
He was an awesome DJ at our wedding. A rock star.
I cannot say enough about how amazing Nathaniel Davis is! We've seen him play around Loudoun County, and he played a private party for us, so we hired him for our wedding, -- and it was AWESOME! Aside from being a tremendously talented musician (whose guitar playing and singing of songs you know and his own versions of songs are truly awesome), his professionalism, expertise and leadership when it came to determining a full wedding program was outstanding. He was very organized and had every aspect from the pre-ceremony reception to the ceremony to the cocktail party to the dinner to the dancing party and final song all planned out with different elements that we would not have thought of on our own -- including all the sound elements for ceremony, toasts, etc. He truly knows what he is doing -- and the timeline ran very smoothly that he put together. He did speaking parts, inserted cues when necessary, and executed our vision to a T. We didn't just hire a musician, we hired a production that catered to our specific needs for an intimate yet fun and unique event. He made suggestions when our ideas were not clear, and he followed our suggestions when we knew what we wanted. Also, he and his assistant added lighting elements to an already stunning venue that really took it up a notch and made the atmosphere truly magical ... in a rustic casual elegant way ... it was beautiful. He coordinated very well with our planner (who was also awesome) on the timeline and the flow. And his music was awesome ... he played guitar outdoors for our pre-ceremony reception, then guitar for some parts of the ceremony, then his own live music for the cocktail party, and DJ service for the party ... plus he was able to work in our play list for the dinner itself ... so multiple locations, multiple types and styles of music. We highly recommend NDavis. I can't imagine better, to be honest.
Nathaniel was THE BEST! He was very easy to communicate with, friendly and professional. He took the time to answer all of our questions before signing a contract for our wedding, and in the weeks leading up to the wedding, he was flexible and worked with our schedules to meet us in person to discuss the details over a beer…a very fun and relaxed meeting, which was much needed during such a stressful time of wedding planning. He explained to us how the event would progress, thinking of every detail, and when we weren’t sure what song or music genre we wanted for a certain part of the evening, he was there with multiple recommendations and refreshing opinions that we could trust. He made it easy. He was in contact with our coordinator ahead of time to make sure everything would run smoothly day-of. He, and his assistant Joe, arrived to the venue early to make sure everything was set up and to run a sound check. He played acoustic guitar and sang for our ceremony, and DJ’d for cocktail hour and the reception. We have been to one other event that he worked, and we can confidently say he has an incredible talent for reading the crowd and playing what will get them on the dance floor! There was never a quiet or boring moment, even with the guest list being very diverse in age. Nathaniel was able to please everyone. In the weeks after the wedding, we received several compliments, specifically about the music and how much fun people had dancing. This meant a lot to us, especially now, as we have since been to multiple friends’ weddings, and have been able to compare Nathaniel to other businesses and have now realized the critical role that the DJ and their music plays in setting the tone and helping to tell the story of such an important event. Nathaniel, compared to many others, has such a dedication and love for what he does, which is clear to see. We would hire Nathaniel again for an event, without a doubt, 100%.
Nate made sure our wedding day was perfect!! He coordinated with other vendors and helped us choose the perfect songs. He also helped the wedding to move along as planned when we were taking too long so we had time for everything. We could have not asked for a better DJ to perform at our wedding. His assistant and him went above and beyond.
Our guests loved Nathaniel -- he has able to capture the vibe to play the right music at the right time to bring back memories and build new ones during our wedding!
He brings it all - he played guitar and sang during the ceremony, played smooth music during dinner and got everyone dancing late into the night.
Easy to work with, versatile, and knows how to spark/capture the moment through music.
My husband and I had the best experience -- highly recommend!
As someone who works in event production, I come across a lot of DJ's. As such, I was wary of the process of finding one for our wedding, knowing that they often can come with a bit of ego. Nathaniel was recommended to us by our planner, and from our first meeting we could tell he was incredibly kind and the ultimate professional. He guided us through music selection, gave suggestions when we felt stuck, really truly listened to our musical tastes, and coordinated flawlessly with our other vendors on his own initiative. The day of, he and his assistant were set and checked with plenty of time to go. He provided live acoustic music for our outdoor ceremony (he brought his battery powered PA since there was no accessible power nearby) which flowed so seamlessly without overpowering or drawing focus. He then switched gears to DJ our cocktail hour and reception, both which he did flawlessly. Often, DJ's have a tendency to overperform - Nathaniel made his necessary announcements, but didn't feel the need to "put on a show". At the end of the day, we could not have asked for a kinder, more professional, or more talented person to trust the sound of our day to. As an event professional, he was a breath of fresh air, and we truly hope more couples get to experience his talents.
