We loved working with Party Down DJs! Their client portal makes choosing music so easy and helps keep key moments for your day organized well. Dan was on top of everything from start to finish, not just on the day itself but throughout the whole planning process. Our wedding went so smoothly, both ceremony and reception. During the dancing he was able to read our guests and put together a fantastic playlist. He kept the dance floor thriving and exciting throughout the night. We felt like guests at our own wedding, and we it to Dan. We loved how much fun he had with the music that night, too. His energy was contagious and just overall a really fun night. Our guests kept telling us how much fun they had and how fun the music was. We highly recommend working with Party Down DJs!

hat they could make requests ahead of time. Dan really listened to what we wanted when we had some unique requests. He also gave great advice. We had a pretty specific vision for our wedding and he made it come to life. On the day of the wedding, he coordinated with our venue, caterer, and photographer to make sure everything went smoothly. I really felt that this was above and beyond what we expected, and it was so appreciated! He knew exactly which song to play when to get everyone dancing, and kept the party going. I cannot recommend Party Down enough. Dan really made our wedding excellent! We had tons of guest compliments about our DJ!

We had a backyard wedding, with the ceremony in the middle of a field, and he was able to gracefully handle two setups running off generators.
