Pittsburgh DJ Co truly deserves all 5 stars! They were fairly priced, easy to work with, and responsive. They were very easy to communicate with and all responded quickly. Our DJ, ...
Dave Brehl, mixed our music taste in the wedding classics. He even downloaded music on the spot for some requests! We really appreciated their attentiveness to our guests and ability to get – and keep – folks on the dance floor all night!

lp us create an unforgettable wedding. One of the highlights was how he perfectly catered the dinner music to match the vibe of our venue — the Carnegie Museum of Art. It truly felt like we were transported to a 1920s dinner party. It was elegant, classy, and completely set the tone for the evening.
Once the dance floor opened, it was packed all night! Joe absolutely crushed it. The energy was electric, and our guests haven’t stopped talking about how much fun they had. He read the crowd perfectly and made sure the music flowed seamlessly.
Joe, THANK YOU for helping make our wedding night so special. Those final few songs at the end were everything — such a perfect way to wrap up the night. You did an incredible job and we’re just so grateful we had you there!

I would definitely recommended The Pgh DJ Company! The communication was great and everything was aligning with what we had envisioned! Once we were assigned our specific DJ for ou...
r Wedding the communication was still well done! The only issue at this point was we had been assigned Chip Highley for our reception & Shannon L for our Violinist for the ceremony. The communication from here on out was tough. we weren’t allowed to speak with shannon directly, everything had to go through brian which caused a 3 way triangle affect and information was misinformed. The violinist Shannon was unprofessional and added extra stress to myself (the bride). We understood that her violin was not able to get wet and that weather was a concern. She was not open to other options as to where she could play like under a tenth, under umbrellas, under/ inside a suv rear hatch, and even gave us grief about playing under a completely covered porch. After the weather cleared and the sun was out there were still problems as to where she would play, until finally convinced to play under a completely covered porch in the distance, with a microphone. This was a huge hassle that would have been nice if she could have possibly went to the venue owners who were right there or someone else literally anyone else besides a stressed Bride. I truly do understand the wood on her violin couldn’t get wet but she was not even considering the other options before saying no. Most vendors help to receive stress on the day of your wedding, but this was truly the ONLY person we had issues with when things went wrong (& obviously they will). Now onto the Dj! Other than the confusion with who to ask what questions and trying to determine what parts were ceremony details for Brian and what was to be directed towards our actual DJ. The sheets they have you fill out could have been a little more clear and guided towards who would be needing to look at them! Otherwise talking with Dj Chip up until the wedding he was always available to talk via a phone call and seemed to be into any last minute changes we had. Although at the wedding reception things were announced incorrectly.. names were also announced incorrectly and not corrected & in the incorrect order, including our names the bride and groom. He also would announce things such as the cake cutting, shot dance etc. when we would be on the other side of the venue & have to come running & he’d already have the song we wanted playing and nothing would have been set up for the event he would have planned for. He called for the garter removal & started playing the song and my husband & I were not near each other little alone there was not a chair on the dance floor and nobody knew this was happening or ready to be ready for it including our photographers. This continued to happen the entire night with everything we did throughout the reception. One of the biggest things we wanted was everyone on the dance floor including a few slow songs. There were no slow songs & truly he did pretty well keeping everyone on the dance floor but not as well as he had made it seem he would do. We also had strongly emphasized our want for having each table number come to get a picture with us on the dance floor as a photo bomb picture. He didnt do the best at making this known. Overall there were many things we had wish would have went a little better! We understand accidents happen but a lot of things were not corrected or handled.

with our day of coordinator and the venue when we were a little behind on our timeline and checked in frequently throughout the night to make sure we were okay and kept us informed. He was the best DJ we could’ve asked for. The transitions between songs were so natural and he kept the dancefloor packed all night. I truly didn’t want the wedding night to end, he crushed the music and was just so easy to work with. Thank you so much Chris!

We booked Pittsburgh DJ Company based on others reviews, which were all positive. DJ Pat and team were very nice, professional, and timely with all responses and planning. As far a...
s sticking to the timeline and MC services, Pat was thorough and experienced with how to announce the wedding events and facilitating the flow. He announced everything well and kept the guests engaged. We give 4 stars, because we were looking for more pop EDM vibes on the dance floor really turning up the intensity as the night progressed (and of course a mix of top 40 songs and older jams that everyone knows), but felt that the overall song selection and mix/beats weren’t what we discussed on our call. The guests all had a great time, just would’ve like to hear more remixes and specific songs we included in our request list. For example, the only EDM song I can recall was sandstorm. We also requested a microphone for the officiant for the ceremony, which we did not receive, and our last name was pronounced incorrectly when being announced for the first time at the reception. Overall, the guests had a great time and loved the music, Pat and team were all very nice and familiar/experienced with how to guide wedding throughout the cascade of events. I would recommend this company, we just wish we would’ve received more of the mix of music we were looking for.

If you're looking for a reliable, fun DJ, we cannot recommend DJ Dave enough!

He even photographed our last dance for us after our photographers were done for the night. We also had a photo booth which our guests loved! We truly can't recommend them enough!

DJ Chris Bennett crushed it! The music was awesome, and really well paced as far as oldies, new stuff, group dances, etc. I feel like he could sense what the dance floor needed and...
always had the best song to play next. He crushed it with all our announcements, and was super flexible when we wanted to change a few things. Chris was so easy to work with, both pre-planning and during the event.
Pre - planning, I really appreciated his feedback and recommendations on songs / timing, given his expertise.
During the event - our event coordinator had the DJ set up in the wrong spot, and when we arrived to the venue and saw this, Chris was more than happy to move last minute to accommodate us. It saved the night. DJ Chris was also very flexible on some of the changes we made at the event just based on how things were moving along.
I was so stressed planning the wedding, but DJ Chris and Pittsburgh DJ Company made this part so easy. They have a customer portal to access all your info, make payments and to help communicate with your DJ on how you want the day to go. They are also very responsive when it comes to questions via email, etc.
I cannot thank them enough, and would encourage anyone looking for a DJ to check them out.
