I can't say enough great things about Orion Entertainment! They provided both the DJ and photo booth for our wedding, and they truly exceeded all expectations. Alex, our DJ, was absolutely fantastic! He set the perfect vibe for the entire event, expertly transitioning between songs and keeping the crowd energized and entertained throughout the night. His skills as an MC were top-notch, and he played all the right songs that got everyone on the dance floor. My guests had an incredible time dancing during the reception, and the music was spot on for every moment.
The set-up looked amazing, adding to the overall ambiance of the venue. The app they provided for planning and song requests was super easy to use and helped us personalize our playlist. Plus, the photo booth was a huge hit! The quality of the photos was fantastic, and our guests had a blast taking pictures throughout the night.
Overall, Orion Entertainment delivered exceptional, professional, and high-quality service. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to add amazing entertainment to their event. They truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable!

David and Zach were phenomenal to have as our DJ & MC; they absolutely crushed it. The playlist was perfect, they turned the venue into a nightclub and kept the energy high throughout the night. David and Zach were interactive during the reception and very adaptable throughout the day, this was nowhere near their first rodeo, they anticipated and headed off potential 'hiccups' with an additional backup plan. I want to thank them again for working with us so we could play a choppy audio file ripped from 15-year-old DVD, one of the last recordings of his late mother singing, singing him down the aisle.

David is it. His work is AMAZING! David and the Orion Entertainment team are so organized, professional, fun, and talented. He knows exactly how to read the dance floor to keep the vibes going ALL NIGHT. Our dance floor was lit beyond belief and we have Orion Entertainment to thank for that! Not only did they knock it out of the park for the party, but they also ran our reception and ceremony so smoothly with the music, transitions between speeches, and gentle direction to guests to take seats and get food. David perfectly curated a playlist from our short list of requests for cocktail hour and ensured all the bangers were hit on the dance floor at just the right moments. We trusted David to select the our final song night and we seriously could not have chosen it better ourselves. The DJ/MC is an integral part of a wedding day, even more than most realize- it is critical you have someone you can trust from start to finish, Orion Entertainment is that and so much more. Orion Entertainment should be your first and only choice for your wedding or next event. We cannot recommend them enough!!

We hired Orion as our wedding DJ and let me tell you, David was SO amazing! All of my guests raved about the DJ and how fun the reception was. He was so accommodating and professional throughout the planning process. On the night of, nobody stopped dancing - moms, dads, grandmas, younger people, everyone loved it. Can not say enough about Orion! If you are going to splurge on anything, let it be this because it makes all the difference. Vibes were immaculate

Our DJ, Conan, from Orion's team was the most amazing DJ I have ever heard! He was the reason our wedding was the biggest and best party I could have imagined. He played EVERY single song I asked, made all the right song cuts during the grand entrance, walk down aisle, and first dances. He was truly incredible! Conan responded to all my emails during planning within 10 minutes, no matter what time of day. I knew hiring Orion was going to be a good decision but I did not realize just HOW GOOD!! Please hire this company for your wedding/event if you want a PARTY. Thank you again Conan and Orion team!

David was absolutely incredible for our wedding in Bellingham! He is extremely communicative and detail oriented, which made planning a breeze. He worked seamlessly with our day-of-coordinator to make sure we stayed on schedule and guests were clear on what was happening next. The music and lights kept the dance floor alive all night, we got multiple comments from guests on how amazing the music selection was. Don't think twice, hire Orion for your next event!

So very impressed with Conan, who was our wedding DJ last weekend. We had one prep call and then he was able to manage everything without us providing any input. He made our lives easier and was a great MJ. He also threw an AMAZING dance party! We got so many compliments and guest literally thanked us for not playing ‘typical wedding music’. I highly recommend working with this company!

Orion Ent and the team are next level. Our DJ that day was not only an AMAZING emcee, but also a great DJ (duh) but then also super mindful of the little things to help make a wedding go smoothly, beyond would a DJ would normally do. (For instance, notice the rain was about to start and grabbing our card box so the letters didn't get wet). As a couple who doesn't dance a lot, our dance floor actually was super fun, energized and never had that awkward lull, which we thought for sure we would. It's run clearly from a people-first mentality and they were SO easy to work with.

Conan did a superb job at our wedding! From the music choices, to leading us into and out of our dances and speeches, to calling over family members for photos. The weather was terrible outside but he played a large part in making the environment warm and inviting.

We are so pleased with the DJ services Orion Entertainment us with for our big day! Christian & Alex made sure the audio and lighting set up and execution were perfect for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They were upbeat, professional, and on-time throughout the entire event. Our guests loved the music mix, both modern and oldies, and we had a packed multi-generational dance floor the entire night because of it! Thank you to the whole Orion team for being an awesome enhancement to our wedding day!

Austin was an amazing DJ/MC for our wedding in June of 2023! Communication was easy ahead of time, all the audio worked great for the ceremony, and the whole reception felt like it had such a natural flow. We're not even the biggest dancers, but we couldn't be happier with our choice! Way more people danced than we expected, and it was such a source of fun and happiness for everyone on and off the dance floor. Austin created the vibe that fit us perfectly and I'm sure he could match yours, too!

David and Austin were fantastic to work with for our wedding. We received a link to a questionnaire (music preferences, timeline, etc.) early on in our planning. With the craziness of wedding planning we lost track of it and we reached out Orion to get more info on the song list and they helped point us to the questionnaire in the app. Once we remembered the questionnaire existed it took us about 15 minutes to fill out the timeline, and another hour or two to choose some songs in the app. I love choosing music for things, so I created Spotify playlists for songs that I wanted and the approximate duration of the different scheduled times. The app had a way to import a Spotify playlist and it was seamless. On the day of the wedding I heard many of the songs I had submitted, but I also had left a comment that they could ignore any of my playlist songs and explained to them what I was looking for in the songs I had picked. For instance, for dinner time I had fairly down beat music that I wanted pretty quiet so folks could chat and mingle. David and his team did a great job following these instructions (and other notes I included) and everything went very smoothly. David and our wedding planner worked together incredibly well and we never had to think about the music through out the day. We also booked the photobooth. The pictures came out incredible; we got the printed copies in a guestbook and we also got access to digital versions. The pictures are very high quality and it was very easy to download them/copy them to Dropbox. At the end of our wedding, David and the team were nearing time to pack up everything and they realized that we hadn't had the opportunity to take any pictures with the photo booth. They came and found us on the dance floor and pulled us over to take some photo booth pics before disassembling everything. That was very thoughtful. There is a lot going on during the wedding and it's easy to forget about things that you were excited about when you were planning! We would absolutely work with Orion again.

Orion Entertainment, and specifically David, were AMAZING. Book them for your wedding! David listened to our suggestions, threw in some other songs we didn't think to include, and we had an incredible day! Our guests have continued to rave about how much fun they had. David is kind, thoughtful, professional, but also such a fun person. We loved having him be a part of our wedding. Thank you, Orion and David!!

Amazing DJ/MC to work with! Alex was so nice and helpful throughout the planning process and delivered exactly what we were looking for with the music and mc'ing throughout the night of our wedding. I didn't provide that much curated music and he played just right the music to get everyone out on the dance floor. Alex did so great when the schedule went off course and when my husband asked if we could stop playing country music (which country music was my suggestion to play), he adapted to all situations so well and made for the best night.

We hired Orion after recommendation from a friend and also from our wedding planners and were not disappointed. Although this DJ is a little more pricey then others, it was well worth it. David and I had an initial consult about 3 months before the wedding and discussed the type of music we wanted and he provided me with an app for adding music to the list, outlining the timeline, and what songs we wanted played when. I had also asked David that while we had a pretty comprehensive list, to also feel free to make modifications based upon the mood of the room. I had so many guests share that our playlist was amazing and was one of the best dance parties they've experienced at a wedding.
Would highly recommend Orion!

If you book Orion Ent, I assure you, you and your guests will have a BLAST. I actually met David at another wedding and I knew right then I had to have him at my wedding. He absolutely knows how to get everyone up and dancing (even our more reserved family members were up there dancing so that says it all), and you can just tell he's also having a great time. You can tell that David and his team love what they're doing, and they know exactly how to make your wedding special and memorable. Some of our guests even wanted them at their wedding! Oh, and they also make great MCs!
Working with David was a breeze - after the initial consultation call, you get to upload your playlist & timeline on an app. This part was a serious game-changer. It was so easy and saved us so much time!
I can literally go on about how amazing they are. They are super friendly, fun & professional - everything you want for your wedding. You will not regret booking them!

Forget about any other DJ in town, you need to book Orion Entertainment NOW! David, the owner, was so great to talk to in our initial call and has a wide variety of events the team does from weddings, corporate events, birthdays, bah mitzvas, and more. He even spins at one of the nightclubs in Seattle, so you know he knows how to bring an energy to a crowd. The beauty if Orion is that they are a team of DJs so you never have to worry that they will cancel on you do to sickness or any other odd situation that pops up. They use the VIBO app which makes picking your music for each part of your wedding a breeze. They have a few different pricing package levels and all of their equipment is top notch. You can even add in a photo booth if you want. They are experts in sound, music, and provide some basic lighting with their set up as well. Austin was our DJ for the night and he was super easy to communicate with and made sure the music choices never died so that someone was on the dance floor the entire night. Our guests RAVED about how great the music was and the energy that Orion Entertainment brought for our wedding. I would book them again for future events or even for a backyard party. I highly recommend this team and know they will not disappoint.

David at Orion Entertainment saved the day in making our wedding the best party it could be. We had originally booked with another DJ, and when that DJ backed out with a month remaining we figured our chances of finding someone in this busy wedding year were slim, and we'd have to ask a friend to MC and put a spotify playlist on. David heard what happened and was able to seemingly pull the best DJ we’ve ever seen (Kevin Gaylor) out of thin air for our date. Kevin was so easy to work with and nailed the musical vibe we were going for. Through the booking process, to the day of the event, Orion Entertainment and all of the people involved made the process so easy, we can’t recommend them enough. We also went with the photo booth and it was a massive hit with our guests. Don’t make the same mistake as us, book Orion Entertainment from the start!

David and Orion Entertainment was top notch.
I attended a wedding a year prior to mine and told my future wife... "Ok, you can get ideas and make notes today but we can't just do what they did, we have to make it our own."
I stuck to my word, exceppppt seeing David (Orion) DJ this wedding and that went out the window. :P
Done. Grab the man's info and lets book him!
Had a great conversation to get a feel on how we can assist and mold his hosting to our big day and it was smooth sailing from there! Not to say we didn't have hiccups in our day... wedding party adjustments... song adjustments... timing needing to be just right here and there... NO PROBLEM.
When I thought I was bringing a cringe worth request his way it was greeting with a laid back response and a smile. My guy just switched, adjusted, or did whatever that was needed without any stress or rush to it.
The DJs at Orion you can tell enjoy what they do and the people they do it for.
Great communication to the point you think you hired an old friend to do this for you.
Feel free to look around for your wedding DJ, but if you are like me... I didn't bother searching any further after seeing Orion and their work.
Thanks for the great experience David & Orion!

DJ Orion Entertainment was amazing from the start. We had a different dj company booked and weren’t happy so when we found dj Orion entertainment it was such a relief. From the beginning they were professional and genuine and wanted to make the experience perfect for us. They navigated us smoothly through covid situations and MANY last minute changes without batting an eye. Not only were they great djs and built a playlist based on our needs but also filled in the gaps by reading the crowd. They were efficient and charismatic MCs. I trust them for any future events and beyond appreciate their company. HIGHLY recommend!

We had such a great experience working with Orion for our wedding. First, the company is very well managed. The owner regularly checked in with information and reminders, which kept us on track and on top of planning. Second, they use an app called Vibo that makes planning really easy--you can create playlists for each portion of the event (cocktail hour, dinner, etc.), there are guided questions that help you think through your preferences about the actual event (how much of the first dance song will play? how are tables released/served for dinner?), and there is a way to add must plays and song shout outs. The app was insanely helpful. Third, on the day of the event, the djs went above and beyond. They arrived early, they helped our coordination team with tables, they played requested songs, and they took a group photo that I will always cherish! Thank you, Austin, Yasu, and David!

David from Orion Entertainment was AMAZING at our wedding! Choosing a really good DJ is one of the most important decisions you can make for your reception as it will make or break whether your guests have fun or think the party is lame. With Orion Entertainment, you can take the guesswork out of it and be completely assured you are getting THE BEST. I received so many comments from guests that he was the best wedding DJ they had ever seen (I agree!). He read the crowd so well and had everyone dancing all night long. We even had to extend the end time of our party as everyone was having such a blast and the guests were not ready to get off the dance floor. Highly, highly recommend Orion Entertainment if you want your wedding to be a BLAST!

Orion Entertainment was amazing! David (owner) was always prompt and clear in his communication all throughout the process. The contract was clear and the booking and payment process was smooth and easy! He answered any questions we had and was very helpful!
The app that they have is awesome! My wife and I were able to put in the specific song requests we liked for each part of the reception! Our guests were able to put in their song requests too which made it so fun for everyone! David was also very accommodating with our taste in songs and they made the vibe of the whole event so awesome!
The lighting they did was just amazing! It really made you want to party! David and his crew really livened up the event with their energy! David was also an awesome MC! He kept the program going along so smoothly and brought such great energry all throughout the event. He even danced with all of us during the dancing portion!
Overall, you have GOT to book Orion Entertainment and go all out with their top package. They seriously will go above and beyond your expectations! Thanks David and Orion Entertainment!

The only downside we had of hiring David and Orion for our wedding was that we had to end at 11pm. They did such a great job creating a real dance atmosphere that somehow still felt intimate and special.
David is professional and prompt, but has a cool vibe that helps ease the stress of wedding planning. We wanted someone who shared similar music taste and let our energy. He did a great job knowing our taste, using our vision, and filling in the blanks the night of. If you care about music and dancing for your wedding you can’t go wrong with him!

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would!! Orion Entertainment is the absolute BEST! We had so many of our guests tell us that we had the best DJ and best dance floor they've been on (thanks to Orion!)
We had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021 and David was super flexible and easy to work with amongst the changes.
We also did have a few special requests (like a custom remixed Father/Daughter dance) and they delivered absolutely flawlessly!
We added on their photobooth and the quality of the photos is unmatched! They have fun props and it's all super user friendly.
David and his team are all so personable, funny, and just overall awesome people!
If you're looking for a top notch DJ and/or photobooth, hire Orion Entertainment! Seriously, they are the absolute best.

Orion Entertainment was such a delight to work with as our wedding DJ/MC. If you are looking for a wedding DJ, you need to book David and his team. They were easy to contact up until the day before when I needed to make some last minute changes to our song list. The quality of their lighting, microphones, and speakers were top notch. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how awesome David was during our wedding. He truly made the event so seamless and probably the most successful wedding vendor we booked.

I did not have a chance to give them my playlist while I was away taking photos, but Brian played a lovely set of instrumental versions of pop songs so people were not eating in silence. Olivia was so bubbly, kind, and helpful while encouraging people to use the photobooth. The magic mirror photobooth was a hit!

I'm so grateful to David and the Orion Entertainment crew for being an incredible part of our day! David was a joy to work with through our postponement and in the lead up to our actual day. Scheduling check in meetings was easy and they were always a blast. The VIBO app was easy to use and made me confident that David was going to knock it out of the park. It did rain during our outdoor reception but David was able to pivot quickly and move his entire table inside with a smile on his face. He was a fantastic master of ceremony and had the party jumping the whole time. He's kind, he's funny, he's attentive, and he takes his work seriously. I highly recommend!

I had a traditional South Indian Hindu wedding with extremely intricate musical changes, as well as a livestream. David was UNBELIEVABLY attentive to the detail, while also being flexible the day of. He kept things light hearted when it got stressful and the Orion team in general was a pleasure to have at the wedding. They communicated well with me and with the other vendors to make a day that felt like a huge production happen! I could not recommend them more for any kind of event you are having. They are an amazing company and amazing people.

David and his team are hands down the funnest, most easy going people that I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Planning a wedding is stressful (even more so during a pandemic) and David made every step and delay we might have had easy and seamless. When working with David and his team you feel like you’ve been friends forever - you’re always greeted with a smile and amazing vibes. They are such a professional and organized group - I could easily schedule calls with them and really enjoyed this music app feature they have where you can upload and organize your music for the event. The music is one of the most important things at a wedding and they knocked it out of the park - ultimate dance party with nonstop good music and mixes. The team worked seamlessly with the venue and was it such a beautiful setup. David was the perfect MC and kept everyone in line while Austin handled the livestream. I can not recommend this livestream enough, everyone that couldn’t make it to our wedding felt like they were there an included - an amazing add on I’m glad I did!
I couldn’t recommend this company enough. They are truly the kindest people, with the greatest hearts and throw one killer party. For anyone one looking to plan a wedding or party, this Covid Delayed Bride couldn’t give them a higher rating. How ever you measure success, whether it’s 5 stars, scale of 1 - 10, 100%, I give them it all if not higher!

David and his team provided amazing MC and DJ services for our wedding! David was very responsive during the planning process and the app he uses, Vibo, was so easy to use. He provided great recommendations on our timeline and the mix of songs we selected. He also did a venue walk through with me and provided suggestions about the layout of our dance floor and how to station the speakers for our outdoor ceremony so we didn't need two different systems. He communicated well with our day of coordinator and the timing of everything from the ceremony songs to the first dance to the dance party was perfect! David arrived early to set everything up and truly went above and beyond to help throughout the day - I even saw him carrying out a stack of dishes to help out our serving staff before dinner. Highly recommend Orion Entertainment!!

Orion Entertainment did a phenomenal job at our wedding! Hiring David and his team was one of the best wedding decisions we made! We decided to have a brunch wedding but still wanted a dance floor, and David had our crowd dancing even in broad daylight - that takes skill! David is detail oriented, prompt to responding to emails, and was able to help us construct an awesome playlist for our wedding. Also, the boujee photo booth is out of this world! Our guests absolutely loved it. You will not be disappointed with Orion Entertainment!

We had the pleasure of working with Orion Entertainment for our wedding DJ & Photobooth. We worked directly with David, and he truly made our wedding day extra special. In the planning phase, David was always very prompt in his communication, accommodated our price point, and overall was extremely easy to work with on account of his easy going demeanor. What puts Orion Entertainment ahead of other DJ services is that they utilize a user friendly app where you can upload all of your wedding music. This saved us a lot of time and energy! The day of our wedding David went above and beyond our expectations. Not only was David an excellent master of ceremonies, but he adapted quickly to the frequent timeline changes, remained flexible with the constantly changing weather, played songs/requests that kept our guests dancing the entire night, and most notably helped my mother coordinate the best surprise flash mob that involved all of our wedding guests (my husband and I were so surprised, definitely a highlight of the night!). The Photobooth was also a huge hit at our wedding; the props were so fun and we loved that both physical and digital copies of all photos were provided. David and his team created the fun celebratory environment that we wanted for our wedding day. We could not have asked for a more special day! Thank you so much Orion Entertainment!

My wife and I had the true pleasure of getting to work with David Schwartz and Orion Entertainment for our wedding on September 21st, 2019. We utilized Orion Entertainment for all of our music and sound needs for our pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We also used Orion’s photo booth service, and I have to say, they absolutely exceeded every expectation we could have imagined.
David and Orion provide such an incredible and personalized experience that during our entire planning process of music and entertainment, we constantly felt supported and taken care of by David and his team. Everyone at Orion is truly professional and gets great enjoyment about making your wedding day everything you dream of.
David walked us through every step of the process in choosing the right music, and learning about what kind of guests we would have at our wedding. He provided guidance that can only be gained by the wealth of experience that he has, and that was made clear from the get go. David was completely flexible with how we chose our music, allowing us to use different programs (like Spotify) that we were comfortable with. The entire year leading up to the wedding collaborating with David on what music should play at what points in our wedding was seriously a blast. It never felt like work, and that's in large part to how passionate David is and how much he enjoys creating a story of your wedding through music.
On the day of, David and his crew showed up plenty early, giving themselves ample time to setup and prepare. It was incredibly clear they already had a well thought out gameplan, and were completely self-sufficient in the entire setup process.
It’s hard to explain just how amazing David and Orion were in the execution of everything on our day-of. There was no technical mishaps, everything played flawlessly, and David was seriously the most on-top of it MC and master of ceremonies we have ever seen. I can’t tell you all how many of our guests during and after the wedding complimented us on the music, how it was mixed, how engaging and entertaining (and hilarious) David was in guiding the wedding timeline along, and how much fun our guests had at the inflatable photo booth. People had a ball with the photo booth, and David’s team who ran the photo booth were truly a hit with our guests.
Honestly, I wouldn’t spend any time looking elsewhere for your music and entertainment needs for your wedding or event. David and Orion Entertainment absolutely killed it, and went so far above and beyond anything we expected. They took so much pressure off of my wife and I in ways we didn’t even realize until the wedding day.
Thank you David and Orion Entertainment!

David was an amazing DJ for our wedding! He was very easy to communicate and he picked up on the vibe for our wedding after just one Skype call! His app, VIBO, is so easy to use and made it easy to add songs whenever they popped into my mind. He even played some of our favorite songs that didn’t land on our playlist but he read our crowd so well! My friends said their legs were sore for a week after our wedding they were dancing so hard. He had a great attitude about everything and he made sure to greet us and check on details. I could not recommend David and his team enough for your wedding!

Orion Entertainment was everything we wanted from a wedding DJ and more. You will not regret booking them for your wedding or any event that needs music and dancing. We had the pleasure of having Sam as our wedding DJ and she absolutely crushed it. I attended several weddings this past summer and I can say with 100% certainty that Sam's set was easily the most lit and she brought out an insane amount of energy from our crowd. My wife and I wanted something akin to a 2010's dance party mosh pit for this special evening and Sam absolutely delivered. Sam makes other wedding DJ's look like people who just hit 'play' on random Spotify playlists. She expertly read the energy of the crowd and seamlessly transitioned from 4 on the floor bangers to slow jams. In the middle of conducting all the raging she somehow clearly communicated important announcements and shout-outs to the bride and groom. She knew exactly when to pump up the crowd and when to let the beats breathe. There was not a single moment that felt empty or out of place. It was perfect!
In addition to the top-tier abilities of their DJ's, Orion is also an incredibly professional company that works together with you to bring your vision to life. David and Sam kept in communication with us every step of the way and accentuated our ideas with their expert advice and recommendations on entertainment. I was originally going to have my friend MC our wedding and Sam insisted that I consider going with her instead and it was clear she was trying to think of everything she could do to as our DJ to make the wedding as special as it could be. I agreed and that ended up being one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Sam was an incredible MC who clearly knew her way around a wedding and helped our special day flow effortlessly.
Working with Orion was a joy and I cannot recommend them enough. David and Sam are two incredibly talented and lovely individuals who are guaranteed to make your event the best it can be. If you're on the fence, I hope this review will be the push you need to shoot them a message and go for it! You won't regret it :)
David and Sam, thank you guys for being a huge part of why our wedding was truly the best day of our lives. You guys are awesome.

Orion Entertainment was literally everything we wanted and more. We had an absolutely INCREDIBLE TIME! We had such a positive experience using their Vibo app. It is so easy to use. It is organized into different portions of the day with places to add songs for pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, reception ect and even lets you add notes for the DJ to reference.
Our DJ, Ross was on FIRE! He was professional, accommodating and was so gracious in helping us run the event. We did not have a coordinator and he so kindly helped us time everything. He knew exactly what vibe we wanted and was great at going with the flow of things. He did such a good job reading the crowd and knowing just the right songs to play. I literally danced for the entire time. For lack of a better word, it was lit. We are still on cloud nine. I would recommend DJ Ross and Orion Entertainment to anyone that asks. We won't forget the best party of our lives!

We booked David after reading all his 5-star reviews and are so glad we did! He kept the party rolling all night long and our guests danced the whole time. We had our friends MC for us and he worked really well with them. He was receptive to what guests wanted to hear and definitely delivered. We also booked a photo booth through Orion Entertainment, which was huge hit with guests.

5 stars isn’t a high enough rating. To say david is worth every penny is a literal understatement— not only did he take on the role of a destination wedding Dj, he also seamlessly went from officiant, to mc, to dj throughout the night. Talk about one stop shopping!!! He was SO THOROUGH about everything he did for us, and made an effort to get to know us personally and as a couple in order to have a truly custom ceremony. He kept everything on schedule all night, and had my whole guest list dancing all night. Because he uses the app VIBO, it was super easy to pick the music I had to have, and when he used his creative freedoms, he only played serious bangers. One of my bridesmaids literally said David reached inside her soul and pulled out all her favorite songs, talk about a compliment! He also kept reminding my guests to sign our guestbook and at one point even took the go pro around to my guests! AND he brought his own photo booth all the way from Seattle to Hawaii, just to ensure our day would be perfect!! (And it wasn’t even crazy overpriced which we all know can happen when planning a wedding!!!) Anyways, if you’re on the fence, get the hell off of it and hire David. He’s perfect. I couldn’t have had a better experience!! Not to mention he kept the only child at the wedding (my nephew) entertained !!! No easy task! WE LOVE YOU, DAVID!

David was a true professional from beginning to end. Playlist creation is a breeze; he uses Vibo, which integrates with Spotify so you can import your playlists for him to review. He was able to use these playlists as a guide to put together his actual party set. He was able to take my playlists, play the songs I chose, and add more music really understanding the stylistic choices that we were aiming for. Key moments (procession, cake cutting, announcements, etc.) of course are set to the specific songs of your choosing.
David met with us twice before the wedding, once for a first meeting consultation to get to know us, then again at our rehearsal to get the timing of the music right. I want to point out the rehearsal meeting was the first time he’s done that, it was based on his scheduling availability- so I would work with him well in advance to make sure he can make that kind of a meeting work. Knowing David, if he can do something that will help you, he will find a way to get it done.
He worked closely with our day-of coordinator on timing for key moments and everything went extremely smoothly.
Music-wise, he had everything stocked up from classic party and wedding songs to modern hip hop and EDM bangers.
In summary, David was fantastic, I could not have asked for a better DJ to work with for our wedding!

We could not have asked for better staff for our wedding. David helped us every step of the way and all of our guests were commenting on what an exceptional job they did. We were slow putting our music together and they were still able to play our special songs for the wedding even though we put them into their handy app the night before. 12/10 would get married again just to have them DJ the wedding a second time.

I used Orion Entertainment for my wedding and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding DJ. David was so friendly and helpful during the planning process. The App that he offers his clients sets him above and beyond any other wedding DJ. It was so easy to use and it was very unexpected and great to be able to add each and every song I wanted for each specific event of the wedding. He defiantly was a part of making my wedding day absolutely perfect!

David DJ'd our wedding this past weekend, and our guests can't stop telling us how fun it was! David really knew how to read our crowd at different points of the night. The music was always high energy. He knew when to get on the mic and pump us up; he was great at offering directions throughout the night; and also knew when to be creative and add in his own songs that we hadn't thought to add. David was a great vendor to work with, one of the best of our wedding vendor team, and we are going to recommend him to all our friends!

I would give at least 10 stars if that was allowed.
David was AWESOME! We loved getting to meet up with him to tell him about ourselves and get an idea of what we were going to get from his services. While he is obviously running a business, it really didn't feel like it when we were talking with him. He is very genuine and wants to get to know you as a couple so he can provide the best experience for you and your guests. David was also so flexible with the schedule of the reception (the ceremony ran over a bit) and he made sure everything ran smoothly the entire night. Oh, and he got out and danced with us, which was a ton of fun!
Thank you David and the rest of the Orion crew!!

Orion Entertainment was at a prom event in Seattle and they really know how to work a crowd! They had fun, seemed to enjoy themselves and were very professional. David engaged with the people and there was cool lighting effects as well. If you're looking for a prom dj or wedding dj then you have to give Orion Entertainment a call, they're awesome.

We hired Orion to do the photobooth for our wedding and WOW were we impressed!! As you know, making wedding arrangements can be incredibly stressful, and David and his team made everything SEAMLESS! He anticipated my needs, sent over design choices for the photo strips, and secured us with the most incredible prop table!! His assistant, Jordan was also great to work with! 10/10, 100% recommend Orion for your next event!!!

David was extremely pleasant and easy to work with in every respect. He also went far over and above what we would have expected from a DJ-- he took beautiful photos of our wedding ceremony, capturing every moment that we will always be able to look back on. This was such a beautiful gesture on David's part-- he did this without any prompting and then shared these photos with us. It really touched our hearts. I would definitely recommend David!

avid is a pleasure to work with. In addition to his awesome DJing, he did a great job working back and forth with a live band (I think it was a first). For us that made our wedding one non-stop dance party!

David was incredible for our wedding. We had an initial consultation and then a phone call before the wedding. I feel he went above and beyond for us and truly made our day special. I highly recommend you give him a shot.
Ps - don't let his age fool you. The guy knows his stuff and seems to be very experienced. I will definitely recommend him in the future.

I'll give 10 stars if I have the option. David is fantastic to work with. I didn't meet him in person until my event, but I never worried about anything for the music. He responded to emails faster than I could imagine through out the planning process. He was very flexible with my requirements, helped me to edit the first dance music. At the venue, he set up speakers and devices at multiple spots, and moved around without anyone's notice. He also helped me announced events whenever needed. All our guests were pretty shy and never really danced before, but David's music made us end up with quite a few songs of dancing. Plus, the photo booth he brought with was a ton of fun, the guests couldn't leave the photo booth and the props. Thanks David for creating wonderful memories for us!

David was our DJ at our wedding 2 days ago and he was a big part of making it a perfect evening. Not only did he handle the decks flawlessly, but David took initiative to help in any way anyone needed. He also brought a camera and just sent me an album of shots that I now feel lucky to have. David's appearance and attitude were perfect, he was polite and well spoken. Thank you David and thank you Orion for having a great DJ on staff.

We had David as our DJ for our wedding in August 2015. I was impressed by his professionalism from the beginning. Always prompt replying to emails and showed up early to any meetings. He drove down to see the venue prior to the wedding and plan the set-up, which I really appreciated, especially since our venue was in a fairly remote location. Not only did he provide music for ceremony and reception, but he also facilitated each event as the day went on. I only provided a handful of songs prior to the big day, yet David was able to read the crowd and continued to play great music through the night. I would highly recommend Orion Entertainment for your wedding or event!
