My fiancé and I were very disappointed in the quality of service and communication skills of Dan, the head DJ. We had put down our security deposit and booked a wonderful DJ from this company to play at our upcoming wedding. I found though from...
the very beginning (even with email inquiries, signing contracts, etc) that Dan was always very slow to respond. It would take on average 3-5 business days to hear anything back. In a line of work that is purely customer service oriented, this is not up to standard. All of our other vendors have the courtesy to respond within one business day or less. Now as we are approaching our wedding date, I reached out to Dan to pay the remaining balance. ONLY because I reached out did he (again after 3 business days) bother to write back and tell us that his colleague abruptly quit and they have no backup for us! He didn’t even have the foresight to offer suggestions as to alternative DJs. I had to directly ask him for recommendations in another email. This company is unreliable, slow to respond to anything, disorganized and has no backup plans to help you if they fall through! Dan says he is going to refund our security deposit, but I will only believe this when I get my actual check back via mail. I am honestly very confused as to how this group has gotten so many otherwise positive reviews. If you are considering booking them, I would think very hard about it. No one wants to have a vendor flake out on them before their wedding day.

rmine what songs to play next, and kept a great pace going that logically flowed from song to song without ever sounding disjointed. best of all, you could tell he was having a blast at the wedding. It made the whole experience a lot of fun. In terms of planning, Dan was professional, prompt in responding to us, and helped guide us in coming up with the kinds of songs we want played at the wedding. I think the biggest takeaways were one guest yelling to him, "you're 12 out of 12 so far on good songs!", and my grandpa dancing and saying the DJ was "superb".

ing our prep meetings and he even took an unsolicited visit to our venue to investigate different set up options. He also let us hear the versions that he had of the important songs we were picky about (processional, parent dances, etc). On the day of the wedding, Sabri was phenomenal. He was attentive to the flow of the day - he didn't rush us when things were slower than we laid out on the timeline (as they always are) and he worked with my husband and I to make sure we were ready for each transition. In addition to being so professional, Sabri is an incredible DJ! The dance floor was crowded the entire night. Our guests all raved about him and said they had never danced so much in their lives! Sabri even was able to keep the party going after my husband and I did our exit. He made our wedding so much fun and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable DJ who also creates a great atmosphere!

wedding. I cannot say enough great things about working with DJ Sabri. Throughout the process he really kept us on track! He created a playlist that we shared, as well as spreadsheet to help with the logistics for the day. We had a conference call with him two weeks prior to the wedding, where we worked on firming up the details. That really helped give us peace of mind, since we knew exactly what would happen when. Most importantly, when the bride and groom still couldn't decide on a couple of songs (like what to play when introducing the bridal party), Sabri was able to make some great suggestions - which also helped lessen the stress during those last couple of days leading up to the wedding. Sabri really knows how to read a crowd, and he did a great job of keeping the dance floor packed the entire night. And, I also liked that he looked like he was a fun, and not just there to do a job! I highly recommend working with him!

Could not have had a better experience meeting with, working with, and becoming friends with Dan! He spent an hour and a half with us during our initial meeting getting a gist of our music preferences, checked in with us throughout the process ...
to make sure we were comfortable with how everything was progressing, and did a great job of structuring everything so we could pick and choose some of our favorite music as well as some jams our family would enjoy during different parts of the ceremony. About a month beforehand, Dan checked in to ask about and confirm all of our music choices from the first dance songs to the last song of the night, making us feel comfortable and excited for the evening. Not only did Dan absolutely crush it throughout the evening, but to this day - over 2 months later - people continually mentioning how amazing our music at the wedding was and asking for Dan's info - it speaks to his uncanny ability to mix classics in with some epic trap music (per the bride's request) and flow across everything in between! We could not recommend him more highly for his professionalism, exceptional music quality and accommodation for all of our requests, and most importantly, his ability to judge the flow of the evening and play just the right beat for that moment. Seriously, don't miss out on Dan or his team - you won't be sorry!

Dan took all our input and created the best wedding playlist ever! Several of our guests said he was the "Best DJ Ever" (and our friends have been to TONS of weddings so thats saying something.) We were dancing all night, and during dinner Dan played these incredible acoustic covers - something we hadn't mentioned to him specifically but he did a great job reading our taste. The whole flow of the evening was perfect - from the ceremony and cocktail hour, management/MC-ing duties to the late night dance floor music selections. We danced all night long - and could've kept going!

he worked with us to learn about our music preferences and he gave us great suggestions for how we might organize events during the reception. Throughout our reception, Sabri did a fantastic job playing music that was catered to our guests; we had a range from oldies to contemporary hits. At one point during the evening, Sabri suggested that he play more line dance songs because he felt the crowd was really enjoying them (I initially said no line dances when I submitted my request for songs prior to the reception). Lo and behold, Sabri kept playing line dances and our guests continued to dance the night away. In fact, several of our guests remained until the last song. I really appreciated Sabri's consultation and collaboration as we planned the reception.

the services he offers and steps he takes to get to know couples and their music style/preferences prior to the wedding (all the while throwing in sweet little nuggets of wisdom, like to whisper jokes in each other's ears right as you start your first dance :)). He is friendly and warm and always professional (and, DJ work aside, he is just the kind of person you immediately want to be friends with). He paid attention to the details (making sure how to pronounce the names of the bridal party) but also remained very flexible (we decided last minute whether flower girl and ring bearer would be announced/introduced at the reception). He accommodated our outdoor ceremony beautifully. Mics for the officiant, two readers, and my husband and I reading our vows...we were all easily heard by all 170 guests! He went above and beyond to consult with my younger brother, who played a classical guitar piece while I walked down the aisle, to make he was comfortable and set up how he liked, and to make sure acoustically everything was perfect. It is so evident that Dan truly loves what he does! He was so thoughtful about the music choices throughout the reception. He really nailed it. He listened to all our input--but the best part is I never felt that I needed to give him much because I trusted his instincts 100%. I had so many guests tell me afterwards how they loved every song so much, they were "basically trapped on the dance floor!" :) You'd be foolish not to want Dan and Premier DJ Services on your vendor team!!!

The dinner music was perfect (Sabri even took the time to move around the room making sure the music wasn't too soft or too loud) and after the first dance, EVERYONE was on the dance floor and stayed there literally until our grand exit at the end of the night. We had the best time and can't thank Sabri and Premier DJ Services enough. What a perfect piece of our special day. Would recommend to anyone in need of DJ services.

s plenty of wedding experience with how he timed things perfectly just as I had hoped. We had our first meeting with Dan over Skype, where he gave us a detailed overview and explanation on how he runs the show. Once we decided on Dan, he has always been very responsive throughout the entire planning process. Also, if you have any specific requests, just work with him and you'll get what you want in the end. We had a couple meetings over Skype and worked out all the details with him. After attending many weddings, both my husband and myself believe Dan is the best DJ so far! Here are a few things he did that truly stood out to us: 1) We forgot to pick a song for when the parents walk-in during reception and just decided to let Dan pick. Couldn't be happier with the song choice! Based on our song preferences from working with him, he knew what type of song we liked! 2) I COMPLETELY forgot about the bouquet toss on my wedding night, and Dan reminded me once again! 3) He is very professional and chill. Our vendor forgot to serve him dinner and he didn't say a word to complain...lucky we found out before it was too too late. If anyone lives within reasonable driving distance from Fairfax VA, I would strongly recommend you to at least talk to Dan first before deciding to rule him out due to distance. Our wedding was made memorable with the help of our DJ for sure! Thanks Dan :)

He also accommodated our requests to splice a couple of songs we had incorporated into the day, and we were grateful to have him handle that and take it off our long to-do list.

DJ at the wedding we attended, so we hoped he would be available for our wedding too. Unfortunately, Dan was already booked, but one of their other DJ's, Johnny, was available. After reading reviews of Johnny and meeting him in person, we decided to go with Premier. Johnny met with us twice before the wedding, going over our likes and dislikes, talking about the order of events, and the special music (for father/daughter, mother/son, cake cutting, etc.). He reviewed his approach to music selection and assured us that he would keep the dance floor busy. Johnny also attended our walk-through at the reception venue. Personality-wise, Johnny came across and somewhat reserved, which for us was perfect (we did not want a DJ that spent too much time talking on the mic during the reception). At the reception, Johnny did an awesome job. He followed our guidance to the letter (even when some members of the wedding party suggested that he change something, he stuck with the piece of paper he had from us telling him what to do). He did an excellent job introducing the wedding party and making announcements during the early part of the reception. He pulled together an awesome playlist as background music during dinner, and as promised, once the dancing started the dance floor was full until the end of the night. He played a perfect mix of dance songs, starting with stuff the older folks recognized, and he moved through the decades as the night went on. On at least one occasion, a guest made a request that Johnny knew would kill the mood. He was able to get the bride's attention and made sure we knew than he was advising against playing the song. We followed his lead, and the party kept on rolling. We had several guests tell us during and after the ceremony that the music was awesome. Premier DJ was great to work with, very professional and responsive, and Johnny is an excellent DJ.

At our wedding, Johnny was very professional.

Johnny handled our ceremony, cocktail, and reception music and he did a great job with it all.

We gave Johnny a short list of must plays and do not plays, and he did the rest. At our reception, he had everyone dancing from the get-go, and the party didn't stop until the night ended. Many of our guests said that our wedding was the best they had ever been to, and that was in large part due to the great music that Johnny played. He played a great mix of music that made everybody want to dance. Johnny also did a great job with the uplighting at a fraction of the cost of professional lighting companies.

I can't find enough good things to say about Dan at Premier DJ Services. He is unbelievably easy to work with, priced reasonably and great at what he does. From the day we signed him until our wedding day, he was very responsive and flexible of...
fering great suggestions and advice when we seemed a bit frazzled. Our dance floor was packed the entire night by guests of all ages. Even when it seemed like the party might die down a bit, Dan brought it raging back with great music and some personality. My wife and I never really had "our song". So when it came time to pick one to dance to, we were genuinely clueless and embarrassed. We emailed Dan with our dilemma and he got back to us shortly thereafter with a few songs that aren't used much, but he thought they suited us. Would you know it... we now have a song. He absolutely nailed it and everyone at the wedding loved it. More importantly, so did we. Dan is also very generous and flexible. The day before our wedding, we found out that our officiant would need a microphone because he's too soft spoken for the venue. All it took was one email to Dan and everything was taken care of... and somehow me managed to hide the speakers in the bushes. People were literally looking around trying to find out where the sound was coming from. It was awesome. USE HIS UPLIGHTING. It literally made the room. Our colors were black, white and apple green. Dan put green lights all around the room to shine up on our tent. It looked beautiful. I honestly can't imagine what it would have looked like if we didn't use the uplighting. And from talking other vendors, his prices are super cheap. He'll definitely offer you a bargain to make your big day even better. We couldn't be happier with Premier DJ Services. If we had it to do all over again, Dan would be one of the first people we'd call. Very highly recommended.

As you can see, most of the reviews out there on Premier DJ Services are about Dan. Friends had also recommended Dan to us, but he was unavailable. We were a little nervous at first since we didn't have any real information about Johnny, but h...
e was fantastic! He had everyone dancing the whole night, even during an early dance set that we weren't sure would work. The whole party was going until the end, and everyone was sad when the music came to an end. Johnny worked with us, even with some more unusual requests and went along with whatever we decided we wanted, even if his experience dictated that our decisions might be slightly risky. He did a great job with the intro too on which we received many compliments. He checked in with us throughout the night, made us feel comfortable, and kept the party going. Dan was also on all the early correspondence and at the first meeting, just to help us feel comfortable. Both Dan and Johnny helped try to mix 2 songs for us for our first dance (even though we ended up just picking one). They really went above and beyond. Once we met Dan and Johnny, we didn't shop around so I don't really have too much of a comparison to draw, but I love to dance, and Johnny did not make me want to sit down even once. I think there are similarly priced DJs out there (the only reason I deducted a star--but not sure how good the others are!), but am so happy we found Johnny and Premier DJ Services!

Premier DJ Services and Dan the DJ were amazing. From our first meeting we had with Dan we were sold, in fact we didn’t even meet with other DJ’s we were so impressed! We met a few times and communicated over e-mail so he knew what we were lo...
oking for music wise for our reception. He was great with offering suggestions, and helped us develop a timeline for our events at the reception. But most importantly he ROCKED! The dance floor was packed all night and the energy was Phenomenal! It was obvious that Dan was enjoying himself because he has a love for music and entertaining and this rubbed off on the party. I could not recommend this company any higher and Dan was a big part of why our reception was so much fun and so special. Thanks!

DJ Dan (from Premier DJ Services) provided the so much flexibility for us especially with HURRICANE IRENE in Princeton, New Jersey! Dan was available to meet with us at our convenience, in date, time and location in preparation for our big...
day. He provided some ideas but he was not so pushy or bossy about what music selection we should use or when to use it. He is available by phone and email, and responds quickly!!! We do not reside in the same region as Dan, but we were able to communicate well by email that we had our contract signed through his convenient e-sign contract. If you want to hear about flexibility, Dan provided DJ services for TWO WEDDING EVENTS! We had a cultural wedding where he played cultural music provided by my family, and then a traditional/legal wedding where he performed the ceremony and the reception. I couldn't be any happier because he worked so well with our event coordinator at our wedding venue and with the music, he picked out the best parts of the song for bridal party entrances in the reception! He could switch gears from one wedding to the other! If you want to hear about even more flexibility, our wedding was supposed to be outdoors and with Hurricane Irene, there was a chance of cancellation due to the state emergency. We ended up having it indoors and Dan was able to move his gear from the ceremony to the reception quietly, without damage and ready for our cocktail hour in another building! We really enjoyed his spunkiness and his personality is so cheerful! He's very engaging with the guests and plays every genre of music possible (upon your request, of course). We really wanted classical music for our ceremony, and by providing him with the list of songs (and type: piano vs. string, etc.). The music was not too soft or too loud in the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, the music was so soft and it wasn't irritable! We didn't have to pick out the songs, but we could've. We saw him at another wedding and thought, WOW! so we had to go with him. Anyway, the cocktail hour music selection was superb. He selected soft music and again, it was neither too soft or too loud. The reception was a ball! His tone in voice was excellent when introducing the bridal party and on a side note, his pronunciation was awesome! He didn't butcher anyone's names. For dancing, he has a great rhythm! The music genre and the music era that he played were done well. He didn't jump from a pop song from today to an 80s song! With the people we had that challenged the hurricane, everyone was dancing the night away! I don't want to exclude any the guys that assisted him. John (or Johnny) Olesak and Matt Hastings! They helped Dan with the set up and clean up! Our wedding vendor were trying to kick us out due to the Hurricane AND a tornado that was an hour West of the wedding, where Johnny and Matt quickly cleaned up and packed up the car. It's not a one-man show for Premier DJ Services. Johnny and Matt provided their own personalities that really got the people out on the dance floor! They both present themselves well and do not dress like slobs. I heard that both Johnny and Matt have started to DJ and I'd recommend them. They've worked with Dan that they would provide the same quality as DJ Dan! Overall, my husband and I have seen him at a number of weddings and thought, "Hey, he's really good!" Dan presents really presents himself well. We would recommend him to ever

rns. It would be hard to imagine our reception being so great without their DJing services. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE had a good time at our reception. Dan did a great job taking what we like, and our audience and making a wonderful mix that everyone danced too. Which let me tell you, was not easy. My family is latin american, and my wife's family listens to mostly classic rock. But Dan put together an evening where everyone danced and had a good time. Ever been to a reception when you are dancing, then all of the sudden a song comes on and you loose about half the dance floor? That NEVER happened. Dancing and partying was continuous and seamless, from start to finish. Highly recommend Premier DJ Services. Great quality for what you pay.
